‎IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782930054117.‎

‎In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.‎

‎Published on the occasion of Joseph Kosuth's installation Neither Appearance Nor Illusion, an exhibition in the Medieval Louvre, October 2009-June 2010. Joseph Kosuth installed on the foundation walls of the original Louvre palace 15 neon text lines he appropriated from an artwork he developed to be read on the Internet, a project for young artists at the Brooklyn Museum. In this context combining a medieval archeological site with a historical art institution the exhibition circuit unfolds the field of potential meanings that always has been the hallmark of Kosuth installations. Entitled 'Neither Appearance Nor Illusion' in reference to Nietzsche, it is undoubtedly one of the artist's most successful and spectacular interventions to date. Texts by Henri Loyrette, Marie-Laure Bernardac and John Welchman and an interview between Joseph Kosuth & Jacinto Lageira.‎

‎L'Illusion féconde‎

‎ Fayard, 1995, ‎

‎"L'illusion féconde. Titre paradoxal sous la plume d'un homme qui n'a jamais cessé de dénoncer la stérilité de l'illusion. Mais qu'est-ce qu'une illusion? Existe-t-il en ce monde un seul bien, depuis les objets matériels jusqu'aux choses de l'âme et de l'esprit, que notre désir et notre attente ne colorent pas des prestiges de l'imaginaire? L'illusion, disait Claudel, est le pressentiment de ce qui est à travers ce qui n'est pas. Et là réside sa fécondité, à condition de traverser ce qui n'est pas pour rejoindre ce qui est. Les inévitables désillusions de la vie terrestre agissent comme une meule qui, suivant la trempe de l'âme, émousse ce pressentiment jusqu'au néant ou l'aiguise jusqu'à l'éternel. D'où le devoir de purifier l'espérance jusqu'à l'attente de ce Bien suprême en qui notre âme prostituée aux idoles retrouve son innocence première et, selon le mot du poète, descend, réveillée, l'autre côté du rêve ". ‎
