Turner's Classical Landscapes : Myth and Meaning
, Princeton University Press, 1990 Hardcover, 302 pages, ENG, 260 x 225 mm, brown linen with gold coloured imprint , dustjacket, lots of illustrations in b/w. ISBN 9780691040806.
Now famous for their immediate impact of color, light, and atmospheric effect, the landscapes of Romantic painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) were at first the object of opposing critical claims: from one side the British artist was charged with painting ''pictures of nothing and very like,'' from the other, with allowing too much ''content'' to eclipse his presentation of nature. Taking this paradox as its starting point, Kathleen Nicholson's richly illustrated book proposes a thorough revision of how we understand the enigmatic artist who revolutionized landscape painting. Advancing the growing interest in Turner's handling of content, without ignoring questions of style, Nicholson shows how Turner used the themes of antiquity to explore the ways natural imagery can embody meaning, and how he came to view interpretation itself as a primary subject. Nicholson maintains that by seeking themes in ancient myth, culture, and history, Turner was able to reinvest nature with new values and concepts, thereby accomplishing a genuinely modern revision of classical landscape in an early nineteenth-century idiom. His inquiry into the nature of meaning, she argues, led him to articulate a narrative that engaged the viewer in ''reading'' or interpreting both symbolic and purely visual imagery. Among the first to analyze systematically the themes treated in Turner's early sketchbooks, Nicholson traces the artist's understanding of a given legend, ancient author, or formal source as it developed over time, providing rare insight into the extent and character of his manipulation of subject matter.

- One hundred drawings and a selection of sculpture by emerging French artist Fabien Mérelle, whose work has been exhibited worldwide to international acclaim- Winner of the 2010 Prix Canson, awarded annually for outstanding work on paper"Drawing is a line of life that I cling to in order not to fail" - Fabien Mérelle "A free spirit capable of creating and imposing both his highly-personal imaginary world and a similarity of meaning" - Artillery Magazine Fabien Mérelle is a French artist whose delicate and intricate drawings look realistic but on closer examination convey otherworldly and often disquieting subjects. Stuck to the pregnant belly of his wife, an elephant clinging on his back, or in close embrace with his father, Fabien Mérelle portrays himself as the protagonist in his drawings in an absurd and surrealistic play. He is known for the anatomical precision of his figures, the sea of white that surrounds them, and the dreamlike quality of his work. This book combines the highlights from his oeuvre to date, with a hundred drawings and a selection of sculptures. Mérelle has exhibited at The Armory Show in New York, at Art Paris, and was one of the most prominent artists in Jan Fabre's recently curated show, The Raft (Mu.Zee Oostende). In 2010, he was the first winner of the Prix Canson, awarded annually for outstanding work on paper. Text in English and French.

Swim The Mountain Climb The Sea ( different artists) ENG / NL / FR
, Tim Van Laere Books , 2022 Hardcover, 146 pages, ENG / NL / FR, 255 x 205 mm, NEW, catalogue of different artists in bright colours. *new ISBN 9789464004144.
This catalog was published on the occasion of Swim the Mountain Climb the Sea, a group exhibition showcasing new work by Bram Demunter, Isabella Ducrot, Adrian Ghenie, Anton Henning, Ben Sledsens, Ed Templeton, Dennis Tyfus and Rose Wylie alongside works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, James Ensor, Cameron Jamie, Pablo Picasso, Ceija Stojka and Franz West. This exhibition thus includes a selection of contemporary and modern artists who share the same pioneering spirit. The concept of a group exhibition, where the general public is invited to view new work by a collection of artists, is relatively recent in art history: it all started with the Paris Salon, first held in 1737. Those jury salons with pre-established rules lasted for about 130 years until the art world revolted. Since The Salon des Réfuses in 1863, a showcase of artworks rejected by the Paris Salon, a series of groundbreaking group exhibitions have followed, presenting works that changed not only art, but Western culture itself. Most of these pre-1960 group exhibitions, from the Impressionists? first exhibition in 1874 to the Gutai Art Association shows in Japan and London?s Independent Group in the late 1950s, were all organized by artists. In contrast, from roughly the 1960s onward, the groundbreaking group exhibitions were curated by professional exhibition makers, from galleries to biennials. This shift brought about a change in the dialogue, where previously only artists and the public came together, there is now also a third player present. This is also the case with this group exhibition. Curated by Tim Van Laere Gallery, this exhibition includes a selection of artists whose most pronounced characteristic is their idiosyncrasy. Each of these artists has idiosyncratically constructed their own universe with their own visual language, with which they started new conversations in art history by questioning and examining its foundations. Showing both works by modern and contemporary artists, this exhibition not only reveals the individual profiles of the artists, but also allows us to re-evaluate their unique position and concept. Pablo Picasso, James Ensor, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Franz West and Ceija Stojka have left behind a body of work that continues to inspire new generations of artists to this day. Placing their work in dialogue with contemporary works not only reveals the influence of the modern artists on this generation, but also shows how their work has remained current over the years. In the opposite direction, this combination also illustrates the strength of the individual voices of this selection of contemporary artists, who can engage in conversation both with the work of each other and with the work of generations before them.
MICHAËL BORREMANS : The Acrobat
, David Zwirner Books 2022, 2022 Paperback, 64 pages, ENG, 178 x 116 mm, New, dustjacket, coloured illustrations thoughout, . ISBN 9781644230831.
Recalling classical painting, both through technical mastery and choice in subject matter, Borremans's depictions of the surprising and the bizarre invites a second look. Uncanny scenes of figures looking at blurred acrobatic displays, hooded subjects rendered in Rembrandt-esque lighting, or solemn portraits demonstrate Borremans's unique vision. In this recent body of work, Borremans continues to draw the viewer in closer with his intimately scaled paintings of mysterious figures in peculiar arenas. Accessible yet full of rich detail, this pocket-size book features fifteen masterful works offering a mystifying narrative. An illuminating text by Katya Tylevich mines the scenes Borremans sets, conjuring the multidimensionality of the works' emotional power and their unique place in the lineage of art history.

CHRIS KILLIP
, Thames and Hudson , 2022 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 305 x 245 mm, NEW, dustjacket, 200 illustrations. ISBN 9780500025581.
The definitive, full-career retrospective of the life and work of Chris Killip (1946-2020), one of the UK's most important and influential post-war documentary photographers. 'I didn't set out to be the photographer of the English de-Industrial Revolution. It happened all around me during the time I was photographing' Chris Killip, 2019. Grounded in sustained immersion and participation in the communities he photographed, Chris Killip's keenly observed work chronicled ordinary people's lives in stark, yet sympathetic, detail. His photographs are recognized as some of the most important visual records of 1980s Britain; as editor of this book Ken Grant reflects, they tell the story of those who 'had history "done to them", who felt its malicious disregard and yet, like the photographer with whom they shared so much of their lives, refused to yield or look away.' Published to coincide with the first full retrospective of Killip's life and work at the Photographers' Gallery, London, this book, designed by Niall Sweeney & Nigel Truswell at Pony Ltd, presents photographs from each of his major series alongside lesser-known works. It includes a foreword by Brett Rogers, in-depth texts by Ken Grant tracing Killip's life and career, and essays by Gregory Halpern, Amanda Maddox and Lynsey Hanley.

EDWARD STEICHEN : the Luxembourg bequest
, Silvana Editoriale, 2022 Hardcover, 464 pages, ENG, 300 x 240 mm, NEW, more than 250 illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788836651559.
In March 1985, the National Museum of Luxembourg unexpectedly received a generous bequest from the estate of Edward Steichen, the Luxembourg-born and world-renowned American photographer. The bequest comprises a total of 178 prints, including 175 photographs by Steichen himself that cover almost all aspects of his photographic oeuvre - from the pictorialist images of his early years to portraiture, fashion, advertising, landscapes, and family photographs. For the first time, this extraordinary collection is presented in a comprehensive scholarly manner, with full-page illustrations of all 178 photographs. In addition, the publication includes six new essays by five authors that deal with questions of identification, techniques, and dating of the prints as well as their conservation and preservation. They examine the provenance and impact history of the collection and compare the significance of the Luxembourg donation with other bequests made at the same time to institutions in the United States and overseas. The significance of the astonishingly large number of family photographs in the Luxembourg bequest and Steichen's special role as a mediator of Modernism between Europe and the New World are also explored.

, Editoriale Silvana, 2020 Hardcover, 96 pages, ENG / ITA, 290 x 235 mm, NEW, with protective film , illustrations in colour. ISBN 9788836643189.
Douglas Kirkland is the legendary photographer who captured the Hollywood elite. Kirkland has been at the cutting edge of fashion, photojournalism and portraiture, working for the world's most reputable magazines for more than 50 years. As a young photographer in 1961 he was assigned to shoot Marilyn Monroe over several hours in a closed studio one night, and he captured a stunning portfolio of alluring and intimate images that survive to this day as a testament to her beauty and vulnerability. Kirkland was born in Toronto, Canada and started out as an assistant to Irving Penn when he first moved to New York at the age of 24. After an early stint working for Look Magazine, he joined Life Magazine as a staff photographer. He worked there in the '60s and '70s - an era often referred to as the golden age of photojournalism. Known for his charming and gentle attitude, Kirkland has served as the only photographer on the sets of hundreds of films, from The Sound of Music to Titanic. His extensive archive of A-list portraits includes Elizabeth Taylor, Coco Chanel, Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, Michael Jackson, Brigitte Bardot, Andy Warhol, Naomi Campbell and Nicole Kidman.
