‎art m di val est-il contemporain ? Is Medieval Art Contemporary?‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 247 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 66 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503599731.‎

‎Summary This publication brings together essays by scholars of both medieval and contemporary art, offering a cross-disciplinary approach of both periods. It investigates how contemporary artists and contemporary art historians perceive medieval art, and, reciprocally, how medieval art historians envisage the echoes of medieval artforms and esthetics in contemporary art. The volume follows on from the symposium organized in conjunction with the exhibition "Make it New: Carte Blanche Jan Dibbets" that was held at the Biblioth que Nationale de France (Paris) in 2019, and which presented side by side Hrabanus Maurus's De Laudibus Sanctae Crucis (In Praise of the Holy Cross), a masterpiece of Carolingian art, with works by artists associated with conceptual art, mininimal art, and land art. How and why has medieval art, and particularly early medieval art, inspired contemporary artists since the 1950s? What has medieval art contributed to contemporary art? How has medieval art's treatment of figures, color, space, geometry, and rhythm provided inspiration for contemporary artists' experiments with form? In what way does contemporary artists' engagement with the topics of formatting, writing, semiosis, mimesis, and ornamentation draw inspiration from medieval models? To what extent and in what sense are the notions of authorship and performativity relevant for understanding conceptions of artmaking in both periods? Rather than focusing on medievalism and citational practices, or on the theory of images?both approaches having already produced an important body of comparative readings of medieval and contemporary art?the essays in this volume address the question of medieval art's contemporaneity thematically, through three trans-chronological topics: authorship, semiosis and mathematics, and performance. Engaging the artists' works as well as their writings, these studies conflate conceptual and esthetic perspectives.

‎Disrupting Schools: Transnational Art Education in the 19th Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 232 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:24 b/w, 31 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503570310.‎

‎Summary The category of the "national school", paramount for the emerging discipline of art history in the 19th century, tended to dismiss the crucial encounters, confrontations and exchanges prompted by the fact that artists commonly travelled abroad, especially for the purposes of education and training. The aim of this volume is to address the complexities of this under-researched phenomenon, shedding light on the motivations and impact of transnational art education on artists' careers, on the actors and educational institutions involved (e.g. state-run academies, private schools or studios, museums, outdoor practices) and on the growing international networks connecting artists, patrons, collectors, dealers, critics and scholars. Even though the nation was a major category for historical actors of the period, it is essential to question the validity of the national framework as an analytical tool for current scholarship: our aim is therefore to propose a new reading of 19th-century art worlds based on the idea of circulations, entanglements and revised geographies. In the 19th century the destinations and itineraries of art students were reshaped by changing artistic trends and reputations, as well as by larger economic and geopolitical transformations engendered by the formation of new nation states and the remapping of Empires. The more or less temporary expatriations and the experience of difference during the key-period of artistic training generated divergent individual responses to foreign artistic contexts. Their responses were formed amidst persistent tensions between the elaboration of ?national art? and the appeal to artistic values that crossed national boundaries. Examining both recurring patterns as well as individual examples, the contributors to the volume analyze career strategies that took advantage of resources labeled as "foreign" and explore the implications of an increasingly internationalized art market for the choices of aspiring artists. Beyond the emphasis on the circulation of people/actors, specific attention is given to the transfers of teaching methods, techniques and art theoretical discourses between artistic centers. Contributions also take into consideration the more or less precarious living conditions of art students abroad, their modes of socialization and group formations, the experience of the city and participation in artistic and intellectual circles.

‎Orientalisme et l'Africanisme dans l'art belge - 19e et 20e si cles‎

‎Bruxelles, CGER, 1984 Paperback, 232 pages, 20 x 21 cm.‎

‎ Catalogue de l'exposition Bruxelles du 14 septembre au 11 novembre 1984 Notre galerie bruxelloise est r guli rement le th tre d?expositions th matiques qui gravitent autour de ce que nous avons l?habitude d?appeler l?art belge... Le Nu, l?Enfant et, pr sent, l?Orientalisme et l?Africanisme. Il ne fait aucun doute que l?avenir nous permettra de composer encore d?autres variations sur ce th me. Certains critiques nous posent souvent la m me question : qu ?entendez-vous par art belge ? Retenez-vous exclusivement l?art engendr l?int rieur des fronti res de la Belgique, soit depuis 1830 ? Ou pensez-vous que cette tiquette recouvre galement les ?uvres des artistes de nationalit belge, quel que soit l?endroit o ils se sont exprim s ? L?art a-t-il une nationalit ? On parle en effet d?art fran ais, anglais, italien, etc. La sp cificit artistique peut d?autre part refl ter un caract re populaire traditionnel : l?artflamand, l?art juif, l?art arm nien... Quoi qu ?il en soit et quelle que puisse tre notre opinion, l?art ne peut donc tre dissoci de la notion de nationalit , sans que ce concept soit n cessairement born par des fronti res. Quelle qu ?en soit la nature, l?art qui a vu, qui voit et qui verra le jour dans nos r gions est en quelque sorte greff sur une esp ce d?identit culturelle qui s?est cr e et d velopp e tout au long des si cles, au travers des changements de r gime et de fronti res. Un artiste, qu ?il soit crivain, compositeur, sculpteur, architecte ou cin aste, subit l?influence de son milieu et de la position qu ?il y occupe, de ses convictions religieuses et philosophiques, de son chelle des valeurs et de sa sensibilit , des structures politiques au sein desquelles il doit vivre et travailler, enfin, de tout ce qui peut influencer son inspiration artistique. Prenons l?exemple de Constantin Meunier. C?est dans un style r aliste qu ?ilpeignait et sculptait sujets religieux et sc nes historiques. Mais il tait surtout mu par le sort des mineurs et des souffleurs de verre. Il prit donc pour th me de pr dilection l?ouvrier et ses p nibles conditions de vie. Voyez Le coup de grisou. Eh bien, Meunier tait un artiste citadin typiquement belge. Ses ?uvres mondialement c l bres portaient l?estampille Belge . Et nous pourrions citer beaucoup d?autres exemples semblables. Dans le pass (et bien des fois aujourd?hui encore), les fronti res d?un Etat taient fix es la suite d? v nements'militaires ou d?accords internationaux. Et l?on convient maintenant qu ?un art ou qu ?une science qui se d veloppent l?int rieur de cet Etat en re oivent le label d?origine.‎

‎Studies in European Urban History (1100-1800). Studies in European Urban History (1100-1800) (SEUH 20). This collection of essays presents a status quaestionis concerning the dissemination of Flemish and Dutch art during the period 1400-1800, and highlights the role art auctions and dealers have played in this process. Auctions emerged as the primary channel for art sales at the end of the seventeenth century in the Low Countries and during the eighteenth century, countless local art collections were broken up and put up for auction. Especially (old master) paintings exchanged hands in great numbers at these public sales, and the finest pieces frequently ended up in foreign holdings. The activities of the professional art dealer form the focus of several essays. These intermediaries played an instrumental role in the commercialization and expansion of the art trade in early modern Europe. They had a profound impact on the history of collecting as they mediated and even influenced taste. Naturally, the role of art dealers changed over time. Therefore, the historians, art historians and economists who contributed to this volume have approached this phenomenon in an interdisciplinary fashion in order to properly understand how art markets functioned. In doing so, these essays explore the various ways in which art dealers helped shape markets for art, and how they facilitated the increasing volume of exports of Netherlandish art from the sixteenth century onwards. ‎

‎, Frances Lincoln Publishers, London, 2011 Hardback with dusjacket in full color, 688 pages, Format: 325mm x 245mm, Over 400 colour photographs, very fine printed ! ***TRES BON ETAT/NEUF!!! ISBN 9780711232525.‎

‎This book explores the visual evolution of the legendary connoisseur and philanthropist Roberto Polo through a selection of over three hundred masterpieces and magnificent gemstones from the extraordinary collections which he has formed. At an early age, Roberto Polo revealed a powerful talent as a visual artist, exhibiting his work in major art museums and galleries. Thanks to his profound knowledge of art history and theory, he also revealed an astonishing talent for identifying exceptional art and gemstones from many periods and origins. Roberto Polo was educated at the Corcoran School of Art, where he was appointed professor at the precocious age of sixteen, and at Columbia University. At the age of twenty-four, he conceived and organized the now landmark exhibition Fashion as Fantasy, featuring works especially created by fifty-four exhibitors, including David Hockney, Robert Motherwell and Andy Warhol. Roberto Polo was instrumental in founding Citibank?s Fine Art Investment Services, the first department of its kind in the banking industry. In 1981, he left Citibank and became an independent art and gemstone investment advisor. During this period, he formed collections of French eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century fine and decorative arts, as well as of gemstones, described by Le Journal des Arts as ?anthological?. In 1988, the French Republic bestowed on him the medal of Commandeur de l?ordre des Arts et de Lettres for his contributions to French art and culture.In the same year, he became the victim of a Kafkaesque judicial affair from which he rose in 1995, according to The New York Times , as ?the wonderful phoenix of the art market?, now championing Historical Design and Modernism independently and through Galerie Historismus. Described by Le Figaro as ?The Eye? and by Architectural Digest as ?The Trendsetter of the Art Market?, Roberto Polo continues to follow his edict that one should only acquire art which was revolutionary in its time.Exquisitely illustrated with over four hundred colour photographs, and with texts by leading art and jewellery historians, this book is a fascinating insight into the man described by Art & Auction , as ?one of the ten people who have made a difference in the art market? and an illuminating account of his forty years of collecting activity.‎

‎Making Waves: Crosscurrents in the Study of Nineteenth-Century Art‎

‎Summary Making Waves: Crosscurrents in the Study of Nineteenth-Century Art honours the life work of Petra ten-Doesschate Chu, who continues to lead the field in the study of the art of the nineteenth century. The twenty-eight essays in this book are authored by some of her many friends, students, and colleagues, including seasoned academics and those at the beginning of their careers; museum professionals and private-sector arts administrators; and American, European, and Chinese scholars. Following Petra Chu's example, and avoiding opaque theoretical language and extended technical analysis, authors present original ideas, based primarily on the study of objects and their documented historical contexts. Though their methodologies are diverse, their purposes are clear and their language straight-forward. The essays thoughtfully and respectfully address the solid reality of the nineteenth century in all of its complex (and sometimes repugnant) sensibilities. They disrupt traditional art historical categories and methodologies, and highlight topics that have been long ignored and overlooked. Making Waves demonstrates, in no uncertain terms, that art historians still have much to say to each other and to their readers, and that nineteenth-century art has only begun to be explored in all its complexity and variety.

‎Perfection: The Essence of Art and Architecture in Early Modern Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 335 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:75 b/w, 75 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503579795.‎

‎Summary Whether a painting, a sculpture, or a building, works of art in early modern Europe must achieve the highest degree of perfection. If in the Middle Ages perfection is mostly perceived as a technical quality inherent in craftsmanship-a quality that can be judged according to often unspoken criteria agreed upon by the members of a guild-from the fifteenth century onwards perfection comes to incorporate a set of rhetorical and literary qualities originally extraneous to art making. Furthermore, perfection becomes a transcendent quality: something that cannot be measured only in terms of craftsmanship. In the Baroque period, perfection turns into obsession as a result of the emergence of historical models of artistic evolution in which perfection is already historically embodied-in the first place, Vasari's investiture of Michelangelo as a universal canon for painting, sculpture, and architecture. This book aims to define, analyze, and reassess the concept of perfection in the arts and architecture of early modern Europe. What is perfection? What makes a work of art unique, emblematic, or irreplaceable? Does perfection necessarily relate to individuality? Is the perfect work connate with or independent from its author? Can perfection be reproduced or represented? How do artists react to perfection? How do post-Vasarian models of art history come to terms with perfection? To what extent perfection in early modern Europe is the matter of rhetoric, literary theories, theology, and even scientific observation?

‎Interaction of Art and Relics in Late Medieval and Early Modern Art‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, iv + 185 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:51 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503583983.‎

‎Summary The collection of essays gathered in this volume investigates the interaction between art and relics as a distinct historical relevance for devotional art of Early Modernity and the Renaissance. Recent studies in the material culture of artifacts from these periods have drawn increasing attention to a sense of material tangibility derived from relics. Putting that conclusion into perspective, this edited collection focuses on the aesthetic meaning generated by a specific material culture of sanctity - one in which artists based their practice upon the nature, variety, and history of relics. Works of art that contained relics shared in the aura of the relics, defining themselves as non-substitutable signs, or signs that preserved the physical relationship to the immutable nature and origin of relics. As studied in this volume, funerary monuments, chapel decorations, altarpieces, liturgical objects, and sacred sites yielded an unordinary aesthetic meaning, one that captured and at the same time transmitted the histories linked to a relic. Each chapter emphasizes the specific history contained within works of art premised upon relics and thus forever embedded in the relics' status as sacred originals.. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

‎Collecting Asian Art. Cultural Politics and Transregional Networks in Twentieth-Century Central Europe‎

‎Leuven, UPL - KU Leuven, 2024 Paperback, 272 pages, 234 x 156 x 13 mm,Illustrations and other content description: 32 pp. in colour. English text. ISBN 9789462703780.‎

‎Museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe. Rather than centering on the well-known collections in Western European and North American museums, Collecting Asian Art turns to museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe which emerged from the late 19th century onwards. Highlighting the dimensions of Central European connectedness, this volume explores how these collections evolved and changed under changing cultural and political conditions from the pre-World War I to the post-World War II periods. With a primary focus on collections of East Asian, South Asian, and West Asian art in Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Krak w, Budapest, and Ljubljana, it outlines the transregional connections and networks that gradually developed. Collecting Asian Art locates Asian art across the twentieth-century in Central Europe via discourse and ideology, and discusses key collections and the way individual collectors built their networks. It thus explores transregional connections that developed through collecting activities and strategies in the prewar, interwar and postwar eras. Contributors also examine the personal connections between a group of Indologists from postwar Prague and modernist Indian artists from the early 1950s to the 1980s and also discuss the systematic archiving of East Asian art collections in Slovenia. A concluding conversation looks at colonisation and decolonisation from a broader perspective by approaching it through recent art historical discussions on the global dimensions of modernism. By defining the region through its external relationships and its entanglements with regions across Asia rather than as a self-contained unit, the contributions in this volume outline how these transregional connections and networks evolved and changed over time, thus highlighting their singularity in comparison to developments in Western Europe. Based on recent research, Collecting Asian Art reveals neglected sources while reinterpreting well-known ones.

‎World Art : Themes of Unity in Diversity : Acts of the XXVIth International Congress of the History of Art. ‎

‎, Penn State University Press, 1990 Hardcover, 3 Volumes; 265 + 535 + 893 = 1693 pages, In very Good condition, illustrated dustjackets, Language = 90 pct. English + partly French, Italian , German., images / illustrations in b/w. .290 x 225 x 75 mm; ISBN 9780271006079.‎

‎Under the sponsorship of the Comit International d?Histoire de l?Art (CIHA), scholars from 31 countries met in August in Washington, DC, to present papers and discuss the subject of the Congress. The CIHA was created by a group of scholars meeting in Vienna in 1873 to exchange results of research, discuss aspects of the theory of the history of art, and encourage international discourse. CIHA has since sponsored congresses at intervals of three or five years. Until now CIHA focused on European art from Constantine to the present, whereas the XXXVIth Congress, in a critical shift, encompassed the history of art from all periods and places. The seven sessions deal with broad themes that transcend cultural differences and are uniquely perceptible through the discipline of art history. Center and Periphery: Dissemination and Assimilation of Style examines the processes whereby local styles may be formed by ?dissemination? from a dominant cultural center and, conversely, those which form a cosmopolitan style by the ?assimilation? of disparate local tradition. Conceptual Designs: Diagrams and Geometric Patterns discusses form and meaning in diagrams and geometric patterns used as independent compositions or as ?incidental? ornament. The Written Word in Art and as Art explores the relationship between what is written and how it is written, and the contribution of both to an understanding of the work as a whole. The Artist is concerned with significant developments in the history of the artist?s self-consciousness. Art and Ritual examines the contribution of the study of ritual to an understanding of the form and meaning of a work of art, and vice versa. Art and National Identity in the Americas looks at the problems of regional and national self-definition in the art of North, Central, and South America, from the European conquests to the present. Preserving the World Art discusses the history and theory of conservation and restoration of works of art and their settings. Each session was chaired and its program determined by two distinguished scholars from widely divergent fiends, ensuring a broad and varied approach to the subject. Following introductory essays by the Chairs, the papers represent a selection of the best contribution by art historians as well as scholars in other disciplines. Included as well are plenary addresses by three international leaders in the field, Hermann Fillitz, Andr Chastel, and George Kubler.‎

‎Jan van Kessel I (1626-1679): Crafting a Natural History of Art in Early Modern Antwerp ‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket, VI+208 pages., 50 b/w ill. + 52 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English, FINE! ISBN 9781909400238.‎

‎The curious art of Jan van Kessel provides an intriguing lens through which to explore the intersections between craft practices, collecting, and the pursuit of natural knowledge in early modern Antwerp. The Antwerp artist Jan van Kessel the Elder (1626-1679) was esteemed throughout Europe for producing finely-wrought, miniature paintings on copper that depict a wide range of flora and fauna, exotic landscapes, and objects of natural artistry (e.g. shells, coral, precious stones). The ?natural? world presented in Van Kessel?s art was not a transparent window onto nature, however, but instead was ambitiously crafted through the artist's reappropriation of Antwerp's artistic traditions, material culture, and artisanal knowledge practices. Through a combination of wit, technical virtuosity, self-referentiality, and allusions to local art-historical lineage, Van Kessel?s paintings encourage viewers to simultaneously think about art, in terms of collecting, connoisseurship, citation, and media, and think anew about nature. This study uses Van Kessel?s art as a distinctive lens through which to examine the relationship between craft, curiosity, and the pursuit of natural knowledge in the early modern period. Each chapter situates Van Kessel within a particular context where art and natural history intersected in late seventeenth-century Antwerp. Taken together, these investigations reveal how his production responded to a unique convergence of circumstances in that city which included the growth of a popular, commercial strand of natural history, a thriving culture of art collecting and connoisseurship focused on local artists, and a burgeoning luxury industry. Van Kessel?s material and conceptual interventions into the representation of nature, such as his innovative, painted ?cabinets without drawers? and witty signatures formed from insects and snakes, enabled him to redefine the scope of natural historical illustration and negotiate the value and status of the small-format cabinet picture. Nadia Baadj is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Institute for Art History at the Universitat Bern. Her research focuses on intersections between art and science as well as artists' materials and techniques in the early modern period, with a particular focus on Northern Europe. She has published in The Art Bulletin, Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek, and the Boletin del Museo del Prado. She has also contributed to exhibitions of Dutch and Flemish art at the Rijksmuseum, Frans Hals Museum, Clark Art Institute, and Ringling Museum of Art.‎

ART! vertelt over vaak toevallige en onverwachte ontmoetingen met de belangrijkste figuren uit de kunstwereld van de afgelopen kwart eeuw. ART ! focust op gezichten en handen van kunstenaars en kunstverzamelaars, toont ons verborgen hoekjes van hun atelier, zoomt in op kunstwerken aan de muur, op objecten op een tafel, op beeldhouwwerken in de hoek. Het is een unieke en onvergelijkelijke weerslag van dat bijzondere moment waarop de kunstenaar zich onbewust wordt van het oog van de fotograaf en zijn magische manier om bijzondere momenten voor de eeuwigheid vast te leggen. Barbara en Rene Stoeltie begonnen hun carriere als kunstenars en galerie-houders, en publiceerden sinds 1984 - zij als auteur, hij als fotograaf - talloze artikels en boeken over kunst en design.

‎Practice of Art History Reflections on Method.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2000 Hardcover with dusjacket.152 p., incl. 67 ills., with 1 in colour, 200 x 280 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781872501260.‎

‎Pacht's well-known, fundamental text approaches art history by means of analyses of works of art and exploration of the theories of major thinkers, yet emphasizes on showing the student and general reader alike how to practise art history in their own encounters with works of art. Here, for the first time in English, is Pacht?s well-known, fundamental text, Methodisches zur Kunsthistorischen Praxis. Pacht?s approach to art history is shaped by his conviction that visual art, like music, can say things in its own medium that cannot be said in any other. He aims to sharpen our perceptions by recreating the social and cultural context in which an object was made, clarifying unfamiliar notions of space and time or significant gestures and symbols which are no longer recognizable. Each part of Pacht?s analysis is illustrated by reference to a specific manuscript, painting, building or sculpture, and his examples range fro medieval and Renaissance art through to the works of Rembrandt. He explores the theories of major thinkers from Riegl, Wolfflin and Croce to Panofsky and Gombrich. But the emphasis always returns to the activity of looking, and Pacht?s greatest achievement is in showing the student and general reader alike how to practise art history in their own encounters with works of art.‎

‎Music in the Art of Renaissance Italy, 1420?1540 Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2020 Hardback IV+408 pages ., 227 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. Languages: English. ISBN 9781912554027.‎

‎The first detailed survey of the representation of music in the art of Renaissance Italy, opening up new vistas within the social and culture history of Italian music and art in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Visual representations of music were ubiquitous in Renaissance Italy. Church interiors were enlivened by altarpieces representing biblical and heavenly musicians, placed in conjunction with the ritual song of the liturgy. The interior spaces of palaces and private houses, in which musical recreations were routine, were adorned with paintings depicting musical characters and myths of the ancient world, and with scenes of contemporary festivity in which music played a central role. Musical luminaries and dilettantes commissioned portraits symbolising their personal and social investment in musical expertise and skill. Such visual representations of music both reflected and sustained a musical culture. The strategies adopted by visual artists when depicting music in any guise betray period understandings of music shared by artists and their clients. At the same time, Renaissance Italians experienced music within a visual environment that prompted them to think about music in particular ways. This book offers the first detailed survey of the representation of music in the art of Renaissance Italy, and in the process opens up new vistas within the social and cultural history of Italian Renaissance music and art. The authors formed the team for the three-year project 'Music in the Art of Renaissance Italy, c.1420-1540' at the University of Sheffield, funded by The Leverhulme Trust. Tim Shephard is Senior Lecturer in Musicology at the University of Sheffield and a specialist in music, art and identity at the Italian Renaissance courts.
