The hidden language of symbols / Matthew Wilson. by Wilson, Matthew (Art historian), author. London : Thames & Hudson Ltd ; New York, New York : Thames & Hudson Inc., 2022. Subjects Signs and symbols.   Symbolism in art. ISBN:  0500025290 (hardcover) 9780500025291 (hardcover) : Description:  271 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 26 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The Hidden Language of Symbols' covers a wide-ranging selection of visual culture under one unified theme: symbols. Often not immediately apparent, our day-to-day lives abound with symbols of various kinds from national emblems to emojis, allegories to logos, all of which exert a strong hold in the image-saturated, globalized world of the 21st century and have a fascinating story. Organized across four all-encompassing themes - power, faith, hope and uncertainty - this stimulating illustrated account of forty-eight key symbols from global art history is aimed at gallery-goers, armchair art sleuths or anyone who wants to understand the history of their visual environment from an unusual and creative angle. Drawing on examples from the imaginary, natural, physical and religious worlds; from dragons to eagles, butterflies to labyrinths and rainbows to wheels; author and art historian Matthew Wilson discusses the different types of symbols from their creation, their development and why they evolved, to the various ways they have been interpreted. He also explains in what way symbols are markers of identity that have the power to unite and divide societies and looks at how they have shaped the world beyond the gallery, revealing their impact on the appearance of our cities, the language of advertising and blockbuster films and even the design of corporate logos."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 704.946 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
