‎, Waanders, 2003 Hardcover, 176 pag. NL, 275 x 225 x 20 mm, In Nieuwstaat !, stofomslag, mooie groene linnen omslag, met illustraties in kleur / z/w. ISBN 9789040096822.‎

‎Erik Andriesse (1957-1993) is bekend geworden door zijn schilderijen en tekeningen van bloemen, schedels en dierenskeletten. Als wonderkind al baarde hij opzien met zijn minuscule erotische tekeningen. Onder andere ge nspireerd door de New Yorkse graffitikunstenaars van de jaren tachtig en het Duitse neo-expressionisme, werd zijn manier van schilderen en tekenen explosief van karakter. Deze monografie beschrijft Andriesses ontwikkeling van wonderkind en twijfelende jonge kunstenaar tot schilder pur sang, wiens werken de kijker nog altijd fascineren door hun macabere uitgelatenheid en tomeloze energie.‎

‎Brussel kruispunt en smeltkroes van het fin de siecle. Studie over de cultuur in Brussel, in de periode 1870-1914, toen een centrum van vernieuwing in literatuur, theater, muziek, beeldende kunst en architectuur van Europa. Het symbolisme, de Arts and Crafts-beweging en de Art Nouveau hadden er belangrijke wortels. De auteurs, uit verschillende disciplines, bespreken deze bloeitijd tegen de achtergrond van de industrialisatie en koloniale expansie, de uitbreiding van de stad Brussel, de sociale spanningen en de opkomst van een nieuwe klasse van opdrachtgevers, de rijke industrielen. Er is veel aandacht voor bekende kunstenaars als Henry van de Velde, maar het boek biedt ook verrassingen zoals het prachtige werk van de minder bekende Ferdinand Khnopff, dat hier (terecht) ruim belicht wordt. Een wat stroef lezend, maar diepgravend en boeiend naslagwerk, met bio- en bibliografie en index. De schitterende platen (197 in kleur, waarvan 59 paginagroot, en 113 in zwart-wit) maken het ook tot een mooi kijkboek over deze periode. (Biblion recensie, Hildelies Balk.) ‎

‎Illustration is no longer just illustration. Today, illustrators write and create children's picture books and graphic novels; they structure information through infographics; they design logos, fonts, and other typographical applications; they contribute to the editorial design of newspapers and magazines; they apply their talents to advertising and fashion; and they develop and produce their own products on the basis of their creations. Despite the fact that all of these activities are based on illustration, each of them has its own rules and its own specialists, tasks, and job descriptions to go along with them.‎

‎Daily Life on the Istrian Frontier. Living on a Borderland in the Sixteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardcover with dusjacket, VIII+232 p., 6 b/w ill., 2 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English . ISBN 9782503551869.‎

‎The Istrian peninsula, located at the head of the Adriatic Sea, has long been a land of divisions. Shared today between the modern-day countries of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, the region during the sixteenth century was divided between an urban coastline dominated by the Republic of Venice and a rural inland that fell under the sway of the Austrian Habsburgs. The subject populations of the peninsula - predominantly Slavic Croatians and Slovenians - thus found themselves split between these rival powers, despite their shared cultural background. The result was frequent and violent clashes over boundary markers, pastures, and forests, which, added to the ravages of war, famine, and plague, led to a severe regional depopulation. This volume also explores the arrival and subsequent social impact of a new wave of immigrants to Istria set against the backdrop of these sixteenth-century tensions. The fearsome Morlaks, Slavic speakers who had fled north from the Balkan hinterlands in the face of the Ottoman threat, were invited into Istria by both Venetians and Habsburgs as a way of replenishing the dwindling population. These new arrivals lived an opportunistic lifestyle that often bordered on banditry, creating inevitable tensions with Istria?s existing population. Even so, some were able to integrate fully into their new homeland. Through a careful analysis of the geographically small, but socially and politically dynamic Istrian frontier, this volume sheds new light on to the complexity of life in a border region, and offers a unique insight into what life was like for ordinary people struggling to live everyday lives at the very end of the Middle Ages. Robert Kurelic received his PhD in Medieval Studies from the Central European University in Budapest. He teaches medieval history at the "Juraj Dobrila" University in Pula, Croatia.‎

‎MARCEL DUCHAMP.‎

‎, Koenig Verlag, 2022 hardcover+booklet + slipcase, 330 x 250 mm, 254 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9783906915517.‎

‎Marcel Duchamp, the artist's first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonn , was written by art historian and novelist Robert Lebel and published in French in 1959; later that same year, it was translated into English by George Heard Hamilton for Grove Press. The book was a cooperation between Lebel and Duchamp, and beyond Lebel's extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roch and Andr Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamp's artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artist's life and inner circle. For the first time since its release more than 60 years ago, this landmark publication is back in circulation with Hauser & Wirth Publishers' meticulous facsimile of the English edition, reflecting everything from its hand-tipped images to its recto-verso dust jacket appearing as close to the original as possible. Fully authorized by artist Jean-Jacques Lebel--Robert Lebel's son--and the Association Marcel Duchamp, the facsimile is accompanied by a supplement volume of essays and archival material that tells the story of Duchamp and Lebel's close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a sea change in the artist's receptivity to critical interpretation. The supplement includes texts by both Robert and Jean-Jacques Lebel and a newly discovered note by Man Ray, among a bevy of photographs from the Lebel and Duchamp archives, extending the story presented in the 1959 edition. Robert Lebel's analysis of Duchamp's oeuvre remains fresh to this day, as does the book's design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimated Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial-design firm fluid, who recast the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as it was in the original. To achieve a near-exact facsimile, fluid consulted with paper conservators and printers to recreate the book with modern materials that match those available in 1959. This precise production quality assures that today's readers will experience this historic book as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel intended.‎

‎Mapplethorpe - The Complete Flowers‎

‎, teNeues, 2006 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 390 x 285 x 35 mm, dustjacket, in New condition !!, Full Page Photographs in sharp colours and b/w!. ISBN 9783832791681.‎

‎The theme of flowers is woven throughout Robert Mapplethorpe's oeuvre, coming to signify some of his deepest concerns as an artist. The photographs in "Flowers" range from images of the early 1980s to many taken in the months just before his death. The latter, in particular, are astounding in their intensity; here one finds both erotic drama and absolute clarity of composition - Mapplethorpe's gift at its most bold and uncompromising. Only a fraction of Robert Mapplethorpe's color flowers have been published or exhibited. This book, exquisitely designed and produced, is destined to become a crucial part of his legacy.‎

‎Summary Hobrecht and His Singers frames the life of the illustrious composer Jacob Hobrecht (Obrecht) within a single institution, the Church of St. Donatian in Bruges. As a collective biography of the musicians at an important collegiate church in the late fifteenth century, the book will be of interest to readers of ecclesiastical, social, and urban history. Hobrecht twice served as succentor, or master of the choirboys, and twice was forced to leave the city?the first time in the wake of a devastating civil war, the second time in disgrace. The monograph focuses on the social and economic realities for the succentors and polyphonic singers, the Companions of Music, who worked closely together on a daily basis, during the years 1485-1505. Thick description provides a more comprehensive context for the lives of Jacob Hobrecht and seven musicians whose biographies are recounted here for the first time. Conflicts between the singers and the collegiate church to which they were pledged, driven in part by their emerging professional status circa 1500, helped lead to different career trajectories, in one case ending in tragedy. Numerous new documents add uncommon detail, both quotidian and dramatic, to the career of Hobrecht, necessitating original interpretations. Seven representative compositions written during his two periods in Bruges?both Masses and motets?demonstrate the kinds of work he undertook as succentor and the occasions for which he composed them, poised at the intersection of church and urban culture.

‎Romeinse heerbaan de oudste weg door de Lage Landen‎

‎, Sterck & De Vreese, 2023 softcover, 138 pagina's, afbeeldingen, 23cm. ISBN 9789056157449.‎

‎Van west naar oost, dwars door Vlaanderen, liep vroeger de Romeinse heerbaan van Kassel naar Tongeren. Hij verbond de kuststad Boulogne-sur-Mer met de Rijnstad Keulen en maakte deel uit van een groot en complex netwerk van (water)wegen dat Rome verbond met de verste uithoeken van het Romeinse Rijk. Men spreekt in dat verband trouwens terecht van militaire wegen, De Romeinen slaagden erin om uiteindelijk een voor die tijd schitterend wegennet te realiseren van nagenoeg 120.000 kilometer. Hoe werden die wegen aangelegd? En hoe bouwden ze bruggen over rivieren en beken? Wie stapten of reden met hun karren over die wegen? Hoe ontstonden de steden? Hoe verliep de bevoorrading? Van de Romeinse weg Maastricht-Tongeren-Tienen-Kassel zijn maar weinig stuken in hun 'oorspronkelijke' landschappelijke toestand bewaard gebleven. De mooist bewaarde segmenten liggen tussen Tienen en Maastricht. Zij vormen samen een min om meer aaneensluitend archeologisch relict. Daarom is dit boek specifiek aan de geschiedenis van dit stuk van de heerbaan gewijd.‎
