‎The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity ? in carvings, markings, and cave paintings ? bear witness to humanity?s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton?s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ?dictionary? of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.‎

‎Saint-Pétersbourg - L’architecture des tsars‎

‎Saint-Pétersbourg a fêté en 2003 le tricentenaire de sa fondation par le tsar Pierre le Grand. Sa création, qui correspond à l'émergence du Siècle des Lumières, est un défi lancé à la Nature. Née d'un marécage glacé, la construction de la ville apparaît comme une prouesse humaine. Saint-Pétersbourg, la ville de la culture impériale, possède le plus grand nombre de palais de toute la Russie. Cet ouvrage propose une étude rigoureuse de ce patrimoine architectural unique. Les constructions de chaque tsar ou impératrice (Pierre le Grand, Anna Ire, Elisabeth Ire, Catherine la Grande, Paul Ier, Alexandre Ier et Nicolas Ier, Alexandre II, Alexandre III, Nicolas II) sont analysées, décrites, révélées à travers le beau regard photographique d'Alexandre Orloff. Sont enfin plus spécialement étudiés les palais de Tsarskoie Selo, Oranienbaum, Gatchina, Pavlovsk et Peterhoff.‎

‎, Paris Mus es, 2018 hardcover, 160 pages 31 x 25 x 2,2 cm ENGLISH *NEW ISBN 9780847864256.‎

‎Timed to coincide with a major exhibition, this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the Antwerp group of six who changed the face of contemporary fashion, Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury -- monochromes, oversize volumes, and his signature constructed-deconstructed cuts - whose credo is comfort, timelessness, sensuality, and authenticity. Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.‎

‎Anthropology of St Gregory Palamas. The Image of God, the Spiritual Senses, and the Human Body‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xvi + 243 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589411.‎

‎Summary How are we to regard our body? As a prison, an enemy, or, maybe, an ally? Is it something bad that needs to be humiliated and extinguished, or should one see it as a huge blessing, that deserves attention and care? Is the body an impediment to human experience of God? Or, rather, does the body have a crucial role in this very experience??Alexandros Chouliaras' book The Anthropology of St Gregory Palamas: the Image of God, the Spiritual Senses, and the Human Body argues that the fourteenth-century monk, theologian, and bishop Gregory Palamas has interesting and persuasive answers to offer to all these questions, and that his anthropology has a great deal to offer to Christian life and theology today. Amongst this book's contributions are these: for Palamas, the human is superior to the angels concerning the image of God for specific reasons, all linked to his corporeality. Secondly, the spiritual senses refer not only to the soul, but also to the body. However, in Paradise the body will be absorbed by the spirit, and acquire a totally spiritual aspect. But this does not at all entail a devaluing of the body. On the contrary, St Gregory ascribes a high value to the human body. Finally, central to Palamas' theology is a strong emphasis on the human potentiality for union with God, theosis: that is, the passage from?image to likeness. And herein lies, perhaps, his most important gift to the anthropological concerns of our epoch.‎

‎Art Nouveau Architectuur Antwerpen‎

‎Antwerpen, privaat uitgave Elaut., 2023 Softcover, 136 pages, rijkelijk ge llustreerd in kleur, 24x22cm ISBN 9789464782462.‎

‎Brussel viert dit jaar 130 jaar art-nouveau-architectuur. In Antwerpen mogen we schrijven over 125 jaar. In 1897-98 zijn de eerste art-nouveauwoningen ontworpen. Toonaangevende architecten zoals Alexis Van Mechelen, Jos Bascourt, Emile Thielens, Jules Hofman en Ernest Stordiau bijten de spits af. Antwerpen heeft meer dan 100 art-nouveaugebouwen waarvan er heel wat beschermd zijn als monument. In het Antwerpse straatbeeld zijn de ontwerpen van de architecten Frans Smet-Verhas en Emiel Van Averbeke niet meer weg te denken. Zoals het 'Volkshuis Help U Zelve' en de huizengroep 'De Vijf Werelddelen' beter bekend als 'Het Bootje'. Dit boek brengt eindelijk het gebouwde art-nouveau-erfgoed in de stad Antwerpen in woord n beeld in kaart, degelijk en voor een breed publiek. Het steunt op heel veel archiefonderzoek en plaatsbezoeken en brengt daarom ook veel nieuwe gegevens aan het licht, zeker over diverse bijzondere priv -interieurs die tot nu gesloten bleven. Het verruimt ook de kennis over de Antwerpse art nouveau, die tot nog toe vaak al te veel beperkt bleef tot de Cogels-Osybuurt. De bijdragen van de beide gastauteurs (Dr Mario Baeck en Tom Peeters) vestigen de aandacht op drie belangrijke sierende elementen in de Antwerpse art nouveau: moza eken, tegeltableaus en sgraffiti. De beroemde Brusselse kunstenaar Paul Cauchie heeft in Groot-Antwerpen meer dan 200 gevels met sgraffito gedecoreerd.‎

‎Jacques De Weerdt, de mysterieuze architect van begin 20ste eeuw‎

‎Binnenkijken in de prachtpanden van Jacques De Weerdt, de mysterieuze architect van begin 20ste eeuw. Alex Elaut, stadsgids en erfgoedkenner in de stad Antwerpen schrijft een boek over architect Jacques De Weerdt. Het is 80 jaar geleden dat hij overleed. Prachtige artnouveau huizen in zowel Antwerpen, Berchem als Borgerhout zijn van zijn hand, maar over de man zelf is weinig geweten. Elaut toont vier pareltjes in de stad die De Weerdt gebouwd heeft, in de hoop om meer informatie over hem te vinden. Honderd huizen in tien jaar; Maar wat weten we dan wel over hem? Wel Jacques De Weerdt, geboren in 1867, is eigenlijk een Mechelaar. Daar woonde zijn familie en ging hij ook naar school. Na tien jaar aan de academie gaat hij aan de slag als tekenaar bij de Belgische spoorwegen, wat hem naar stad Antwerpen leidt. Op tien jaar tijd zou hij wel honderd huizen in de stad hebben gebouwd, zegt Elaut. Over zijn eigen stijl zijn er al studies verschenen, maar informatie over zijn opdrachtgevers en medewerkers zijn er niet. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog vluchtte hij naar Rotterdam, maar wanneer hij terugkeert, bouwt hij nog weinig. Was zijn inspiratie op? Was hij ziek? We weten het niet, zegt Elaut. Het enige wat ik nog kan zeggen is dat hij in een psychiatrie verbleef en in 1942 in Boechout is gestorven. In Antwerpen had hij twee broers en een dochter, die trouwens ook in een psychatrisch centrum terechtkwam, en ook in Mechelen had hij nog familie.? Familieweetjes Zelf stopte Elaut al briefjes in de bussen bij de huizen waarvan hij weet dat ze door De Weerdt gebouwd zijn. Hij kreeg al veel positieve reacties om foto's te komen nemen voor het herdenkingsboek. Ik kreeg ook al veel hulp van Marcel Windey, een heemkundige uit Deurne die al veel opzoekwerk heeft gedaan. Maar er kan altijd info bij. Daarom zoek ik mensen die eventueel een foto of portret hebben van de familie De Weerdt, Zenner, Verellen, Wauters en Bocken.‎

‎Franks and Crusades in Medieval Eastern Christian Historiography‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 351 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503565811.‎

‎Summary This volume is an introduction to eleven of the main medieval Eastern Christian historians used by modern scholars to reconstruct the events and personalities of the crusading period in the Levant. Each of the chapters examines one historian and their work(s), and first contains an introductory examination of their life, background and influences. This is then followed by a study of their work(s) relevant to the Crusades, including the reasons for writing, themes, and methodology. Such an approach will allow modern researchers to better understand the background and contexts to these texts, and thus to reconstruct the past in a more nuanced and detailed way. Written by eleven eminent scholars in their fields, and examining chronicles written in Armenian, Greek, Syriac, and Arabic, this book will be essential reading for anybody engaged in research on the Crusades, as well as Eastern Christian and Islamic history, and medieval historiography.

‎Summary In 2015, the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project working in Jerash uncovered a Middle Islamic farmstead. Subsequent excavations revealed that this settlement, far from marking a decline at the site, is in fact indicative of a broader active and dynamic rural community living within the ancient urban landscape of Jerash. This volume offers an in-depth focus on this Islamic settlement, with a particular focus on the ceramic material yielded by the site, which is here fully quantified and contextually analysed alongside historical sources. Through this approach, the author has reconstructed a new synthesis of Middle Islamic settlement history, shedding new light on the economic and social structures of a rural community in northern Jordan, as well as establishing a typology that can be used to refine the chronologies of Middle Islamic Jerash.
