Publicatie over Mexicaanse beeldende kunst (1910-1940) naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in de Royal Academy of Arts in Londen, zomer 2013. De publicatie richt zich onder andere op de grote diversiteit aan Mexicaanse kunstenaars (waaronder Diego Riviera, Frida Kahlo en vele anderen), maar ook de vele kruisbestuivingen met grote internationale kunstenaars (waaronder schrijvers als D.H. Lawrence en Graham Greene) komen aan de orde. Er is uiteraard veel aandacht voor de betekenis en de gevolgen van de Mexicaanse Revolutie op het artistieke en culturele leven. Het is daarmee een zeer waardevolle introductie op de moderne kunst in Mexico, mede omdat die periode kunst voor het eerst in een internationaal perspectief wordt geplaatst. Interessant voor liefhebbers van vroege moderne beeldende kunst en fotografie. Met ruim 200 afbeeldingen in kleur, bibliografie en index.
L on Spilliaert. (1881 - 1946) (Eng. ed)

Belgium symbolist painter and graphic artist. Watercolourist, pastellist, painter (gouache), draughtsman. Portraits, genre scenes, still-lifes, landscapes, seascapes. From childhood he displayed an interest in art and drawing and was a prolific doodler, spending much time sketching scenes of ordinary life and the Belgium countryside. In 1889 he studied briefly at the Tekenacademie in Bruges. His early work, already Symbolist in style was informed by his readings of writers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Maurice Maeterlinck. From February 1903 to January 1904 he worked for Edmond Deman in Brussels, a publisher of symbolist writers, whose work Spilliaert was to illustrate. In 1904 Spilliaert stayed in Paris, where he was on the fringe of Picasso?s circle and discovered the work of Munch and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose influences he acknowledged. He continued to spend most winters in Paris to keep in touch with the city?s cultural life. Although often associated with the key figures of Belgian Symbolism, L on Spilliaert in fact demonstrated a peculiarly individual style. Born in Ostend, he worked there for most of his career. An introvert and insomniac who suffered from poor health as a young man, Spilliaert wandered the night-time streets of the North Sea resort, creating mysterious and highly atmospheric depictions of its dark docks, beaches and promenades. Almost entirely self-taught, he drew influence from such painters as Odilon Redon and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, as well as the writers Edgar Allan Poe and Friedrich Nietzsche. This book brings together over a hundred works from international collections, including a series of haunting self-portraits that Spilliaert created in his twenties. Authoritative authors discuss the artist's singular approach and put his career in context alongside that of his more famous compatriot and contemporary James Ensor.
