‎, Princeton University Press, 2015 Hardcover, 446 pages, ENG, 285 x 245 x 40 mm, New, dustjacket, fully illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780691167534.‎

‎This is the first book devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright's designs for remaking the modern city. Stunningly comprehensive, The Urbanism of Frank Lloyd Wright presents a radically new interpretation of the architect's work and offers new and important perspectives on the history of modernism. Neil Levine places Wright's projects, produced over more than fifty years, within their historical, cultural, and physical contexts, while relating them to the theory and practice of urbanism as it evolved over the twentieth century. Levine overturns the conventional view of Wright as an architect who deplored the city and whose urban vision was limited to a utopian plan for a network of agrarian communities he called Broadacre City. Rather, Levine reveals Wright's larger, more varied, interesting, and complex urbanism, demonstrated across the span of his lengthy career. Beginning with Wright's plans from the late 1890s through the early 1910s for reforming residential urban neighborhoods, mainly in Chicago, and continuing through projects from the 1920s through the 1950s for commercial, mixed-use, civic, and cultural centers for Chicago, Madison, Washington, Pittsburgh, and Baghdad, Levine demonstrates Wright's place among the leading contributors to the creation of the modern city. Wright's often spectacular designs are shown to be those of an innovative precursor and creative participant in the world of ideas that shaped the modern metropolis. Lavishly illustrated with drawings, plans, maps, and photographs, this book features the first extensive new photography of materials from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives. The Urbanism of Frank Lloyd Wright will serve as one of the most important books on the architect for years to come.‎

‎Leven met de goden 40.000 jaar volkeren, objecten en religie ‎

‎, Hollands Diep, 2018 Hardcover met stofomslag, 512 pagina's, 24 x 16.5 cm, NL. *prima staat. ISBN 9789048842551.‎

‎Een van de meest wezenlijke aspecten van het menselijk bestaan is dat elke gemeenschap een aantal opvattingen en overtuigingen deelt: een geloof, een ideologie, een religie. Deze overtuigingen zijn een fundamenteel onderdeel van een gedeelde identiteit. Ze hebben de unieke kracht om ons te defini ren - en te verdelen - en zijn in een groot deel van de wereld in politieke zin een drijvende kracht. In onze hele geschiedenis zijn deze overtuigingen meestal, in de ruimste zin van het woord, religieus van aard geweest. Dit boek wil geen godsdienstgeschiedenis beschrijven, en zeker geen betoog zijn v r of tegen een bepaald geloof. Het gaat over de verhalen die onze levens vormgeven en over de verschillende manieren waarop samenlevingen hun plaats in de wereld voorstellen. In dit rijk ge llustreerde boek bespreekt MacGregor objecten, plaatsen en menselijke activiteiten over de hele wereld en door de eeuwen heen in een poging inzicht te krijgen wat een gedeeld geloof kan betekenen in het openbare leven van een gemeenschap of een natie, en hoe dat geloof invloed heeft op de relatie tussen het individu en de staat, en welke cruciale bijdrage het heeft geleverd aan wie wij zijn. Want door te bepalen hoe we met onze goden leven, bepalen we tegelijk ook hoe we met elkaar leven.‎

‎Summary This study focuses on anti-modernist artists, critics and political theorists in Belle poque France hostile to secular democracy and its allegedly decadent culture of individualism. It examines their reassertion of social and artistic values which, they claimed, had been distorted and repressed by the 1789 revolution. Exploring the cultural implications of the Catholic revival, the impact of the royalist movement Action fran aise and nationalist calls for a 'Renaissance fran aise', it challenges previous assessments of nationalists' artistic agenda and recasts ways of thinking about classicism and the notion of a 'return to order' in pre- and post-war French cultural discourse. The book offers the first comprehensive overview of nationalism's impact on pre-war French art, which it complements with synthetic studies of three figures affected by these political and artistic debates: the painters Maurice Denis (Catholic revival) and Emile Bernard ('Renaissance francaise), as well as the critic Joachim Gasquet (Action fran aise). In such a way, the book goes beyond previous accounts to highlight contradictions and complexities in pre-war artistic discourse that enrich our understanding of the ideological stakes involved in clashes over modernity, tradition and identity in pre-war France. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction : An Essential Part of Ourselves : Culture, tradition and the French nation. (General overview of main themes) Part 1: Scenes & Doctrines Chapter 1. Id ologies of National Identity in the Third Republic. (An introductory study of nationalist ideologies and their impact on culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries) Chapter 2. Contending Traditions. Approaching the Past in Republican France. (Background discussion of debates around tradition c. 1900 and their impact on discussions of the history of French art & its contemporary character) Chapter 3. Making French Art. Defining a National Culture before 1914. (Introduction to debates during the period to define a characteristically national culture, particularly from a Republican perspective) Part 2. Religion Chapter 4. Representing Spirituality. Tradition, Beauty and Faith in the Catholic Revival. (Exploration of the impact of the Catholic revival on French art, particularly in relation to the influence of renewed interest in Neo-Thomism and its aesthetic implications). Chapter 5. Catholic Tastes. Religiosity, Aesthetics and Tradition in the Art of Maurice Denis. (Explores the impact of Catholicism on Denis's career as a painter, critic and theorist, focusing on its interplay with his royalist sympathies and his understanding of art's history as an apologetic form) Part 3. Royalism Chapter 6. Action fran aise : the Experience of Centuries. (A comprehensive analysis of royalist interventions in the arts in terms of art-critical writing, aesthetics, and art-historical research by figures such as Charles Maurras, Louis Dimier and Pierre du Colombier). Chapter 7. Joachim Gasquet : the Politics of Lyricism. (Revisits the career of a figure best known for his controversial 1921 publication on C zanne. For the first time, the totality of Gasquet's artistic writing (much of it unpublished) is discussed. The emerging picture contributes to a redefinition of contemporary notions of classicism and of C zanne's reputation as a classical artist - both themes that re-emerge as motifs elsewhere in the book). Part 4. Renaissances Chapter 8. Modernizing tradition: Towards a new French Renaissance. (For the first time, a broad spectrum of cultural commentary, united by a shared nationalist commitment to French rebirth, is brought together in ways that reframe some central debates in pre-war art criticism and bring to the fore artists generally overlooked in retrospective surveys of the period. The chapter revisits debates around the aesthetic impact of 'celtic nationalism' and argues against previous suggestions that this position aligns with progressive poiltics. The chapter also looks at Latinist modernism and its place in the avant-garde publication 'Montjoie!'). Chapitre 9. mile Bernard : the Dogma of tradition. (Bernard was a prolific artist and theorist whose contribution to French art is typically considered only in relation to his early career around Paul Gauguin and the School of Pont-Aven in the late 1880s and early 90s. This chapter looks at Bernard's rejection of the artistic vanguard and his ostentatious championing of tradition, rooted in the High Renaissance, both in his pictorial output after 1900 and in his enormous body of published and unpublished writing. Bernard's eulogies of Tintoretto and Michelangelo in particular stand in contrast to his growing disdain for modern art, epitomized by his growing disenchantment with C zanne. The chapter demonstrates how Bernard's artistic retrenchment forms part of a more broadly elitist disparagement of democratic republicanism.) Conclusion‎

‎Ideology and Patronage in Byzantium. Dedicatory Inscriptions and Patron Images from Middle Byzantine Macedonia and Thrace‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 177 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:55 b/w, Language(s):English, Greek. ISBN 9782503605326.‎

‎Summary Based on the evidence of epigraphic material in combination with monumental painting, this book explores important dedicatory inscriptions (9th-beginning of the 13th c.) from Macedonia and Thrace, which have so far been investigated mainly from a philological-historical standpoint, thus neglecting the major issue of Middle Byzantine patronage. Through patron inscriptions and textual sources, the role and the motives of military officials in the patronage of defensive and fortification works, and the manner of publicizing them, are examined systematically. Patronage is looked at through the ideological messages that the donors endeavor to promote in a local society or monastic community, and which echo their relationship with the state and their views on education and faith. The new interpretations presented in this book result from the collation of historical, prosopographical, archaeological and visual data, which offer valuable evidence about military patronage, the relation of the donation to the personal life of the donor and his family, the spiritual life of monasticism and the building complex of the monastery, and the relationship between inscriptions, space and iconography. Interesting methodologically is the co-examination of the various categories of inscriptions in combination with historical texts and donor portraits, which opens up new avenues of research for the study of the interdisciplinary material in question.

‎Performing Science, Mediating Knowledge. Science, Showmanship, and the Performance of Authority in the Long Nineteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 352 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 65 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503616643.‎

‎Summary Performing Science, Mediating Knowledge examines how science was staged, embodied, and made visible in the long nineteenth century - a period defined by rapid technological transformation and an expanding public culture of knowledge. Moving across settings such as lecture halls, world's fairs, opera houses, scientific congresses, and travelling fairgrounds, this volume traces the heterogeneous performance cultures through which scientific ideas circulated, were challenged, and gained authority. Drawing on performance studies, media history, and the histories of science and knowledge, the chapters analyse how rhetoric address, bodily gestures, visual media, scenography, and audience interaction shaped both the credibility and the appeal of scientific claims. Foregrounding the wide range of actors involved - scientists, showpeople, artists, lecturers - and the various media and venues through which science entered the public sphere, the chapters reveal how scientific ideas were shaped through practices of staging, and how science functioned as a cultural practice embedded in the political, social, and aesthetic dynamics of the nineteenth century.
