Always Looking af John Updike (Bog)
23,20 kr.
In this posthumous collection of John Updike's art writings, a companion volume to the acclaimed Just Looking(1989) and Still Looking(2005), readers are again treated to 'remarkably elegant essays' (Newsday) in which 'the psychological concerns of the novelist drive the eye from work to work until a deep understanding of the art emerges' (The New York Times Book Review). Always Lookingopens with 'The Clarity of Things', the Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities for 2008. Here, in looking closely at individual works by Copley, Homer, Eakins, Norman Rockwell and others, the author teases out what is characteristically 'American' in American art. This talk is followed by fourteen essays, most of them written for The New York Review of Books, on certain highlights in Western art of the last two hundred years- the iconic portraits of Gilbert Stuart and the sublime landscapes of Frederic Edwin Church, the series paintings of Monet and the monotypes of Degas, the richly patterned canvases of Vuillard and the golden extravagances of Klimt, the cryptic triptychs of Beckmann, the personal graffiti of Miró, the verbal-visual puzzles of Magritte, and the monumental Pop of Oldenburg and Lichtenstein. The book ends with a consideration of recent works by a living American master, the steely sculptural environments of Richard Serra. John Updike was a gallery-goer of genius. Always Lookingis, like everything else he wrote, an invitation to look, to see, to apprehend the visual world through the eyes of a connoisseur.

Spørgsmål og svar
Er varen ny?
Orderly sælger gode varer fra folk, som ikke selv har tid, lyst eller mulighed for at gøre det. Vores varer er derfor typisk brugte og dermed billigere end nyt. Og så er de bedre for miljøet.
Hvordan vurderer I standen?
Vi vurderer varen ud fra synligt slid og det samlede indtryk. Vi tester ikke elektronik eller tæller brikkerne i et puslespil inden salg. Vi formidler salget mellem køber og sælger. Men er der problemer med en vare, finder vi altid en løsning - med eller uden sælger.
Jeg glemte en ting. Kan jeg tilføje til min ordre?
Ja, det kan du sagtens - helt indtil vi starter pakningen af din ordre. Du laver bare en ny ordre og vælger den eksisterende ordre som levering (hvor du normalt vælger GLS eller afhentning). I sjældne tilfælde kan det dog forlænge leveringstiden med en dag.
