Collector's Visions Art of Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia and the Americas
, 5 Continents, 2018 Hardcover with dust jacket., 288 pages, 277 ills. 24 x 28,5 cm, Text in English, *new. ISBN 9788874398157.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, at a time of turmoil when art was undergoing unprecedented upheaval, the West, and especially France, began to turn its eyes towards distant cultures until then largely neglected. Artists were in the throes of questioning all canons and were seduced by the freshness they found in the art of these cultures. The outcome is what we know today as 'Primitivism'. But at the same time, through a sort of aesthetic empathy, art lovers, critics, poets, and dealers developed a passion for the intrinsic beauty of these objects, which began to arrive in Europe in large numbers, brought home by colonial administrators, missionaries, or officers on overseas postings. The extraordinary expressiveness and at the same time great harmoniousness of the best of these works enchanted them. Guillaume Apollinaire was not afraid to talk of 'the very principles of great art' when discussing African art.
Christine Vanoppen: glassworks
, Pelckmans uitgevers, 2020 Hardback, 23,3 x 30,0 x 1,8 cm, 144 pages, NL/EN/FR. *Good condition . ISBN 9789058566362.
Christine Vanoppen (born 1962) designs her glass art in dialogue with the environment and in the context of architecture. The visual aspect is a recurring feature, in which layering and line play are essential starting points. She finds the inspiration for the monumental works in architecture, but also in nature. Christine want to make the light visible through the different layers or structures of the transparant and colored glass. ?In this book you will find thirteen glass projects that are highlighted through text, sketches, studio photos, and the final result. ?
Cultivating the Earth, Nurturing the Body and Soul: Daily Life in Early Medieval England. Essays in Honour of Debby Banham
, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 340, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 4 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503611938.
Summary How did food impact social relationships in early medieval England? What cultivation practices were followed, to produce the best possible food supplies? What was the cultural significance of bread? How was the human body nourished? When sickness inevitably occurred, where did one go, and who was consulted for healing? And how was spiritual health also protected? The essays gathered together in this exciting volume draw on a range of different disciplines, from early medieval economic and social history, to experimental archaeology and medieval medicine, to offer a unique overview into day-to-day life in England nearly two millennia ago. Taking as their starting point the broad research interests of the volume's honorand, Dr Debby Banham, contributors here offer new insights into the reproduction and ritual use of vernacular charms, examine the collation and translation of medieval medicine, elucidate monastic economies and production, and uncover the circumstances behind the production and transmission of medical manuscripts in early medieval England. Presenting new insights into agricultural practices and animal husbandry, monastic sign language and materia medica, plant knowledge and medical practices, the chapters within this volume not only offer a fitting tribute to Banham's own groundbreaking work, but also shed new light on what it meant to nurture both body and soul in early medieval England.
