‎DIAMONDS. THE QUEST FROM SOLID ROCK TO THE MAGIC OF DIAMONDS,‎

‎BE, Tectum, 2008 Hardback with slip case, 313 x 313mm., 432pp. ISBN 9789076886510.‎

‎This book takes you on a unique visual journey, exploring the extraordinary world of diamonds in many ways, a world apart as this substance has made and destroyed both countries and individuals. From the heart of a star to the human heart, diamonds are entwined with the stuff of life. No other natural substance is so lovely and so evocative of every human passion, good or bad, all the while still managing to far outlast all these things. The diamond cycle is a long journey stretching over aeons, buried deep in the earth. This beauty is difficult to win back, mines are found in some of the wildest and most remote places of the earth, from the chill of the Arctic Circle, tropical jungles or semi deserts, to the storm-racked coasts of Africa. Once won, the hardest substance on earth is cut and transformed with painstaking precision, in diamond centres across the globe. Diamonds is a record of that world. New book. ‎

‎Antoine Wiertz (1806-65) And the Quest for Modern Genius‎

‎, BREPOLS, 2025 HARDCOVER dusjacket Pages: iv + 164 p. Size:216 x 280 mm Illustrations:1 b/w, 67 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503604732.‎

‎ This book offers a fresh look at Antoine Wiertz (1806?65), a Belgian artist often called a ?failure,? and uncovers his fascinating complexity. Leading experts explore Wiertz?s early influences, his use of the grotesque, and his innovative ideas about artist?s museums. The essays examine his struggles with Neoclassicism and the Parisian art scene, his fascination with death and his sculptural oeuvre. They also reveal links between Wiertz?s art, politics, and the development of 19th-century Belgium. With new research, the book illuminates his unique way of creating and showing art. This analysis shows that Wiertz was a major player in debates on what makes an artistic genius. ?Antoine Wiertz and the Quest for Modern Genius? reclaims his significance, and encourages a renewed appreciation of his oeuvre in art history. Essays by Dominique Marechal, Stephen Bann, Caroline van Eck, Hanneke Grootenboer, Marc Gotlieb, Pascal Griener, Maarten Liefooghe and Bart Verschaffel.
