‎Stamp of Impulse - Abstract Expressionist Prints‎

‎Worcester, Worcester Art Museum, 2001 Softcover, sticker of bookstore on front, 31 x 24 cm, 300 pages, english text. *Very good condition. ISBN 9789053493434.‎

‎This impressive compendium features the prints, rather than the paintings, of 100 abstract expressionist artists, including such giants as Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko as well as such lesser-known figures as Seong Moy and Hugo Weber. Each artist is represented by a full-page reproduction of one print and a one-page biographical and critical sketch by Acton, the curator of prints, drawings, and photographs at the Worcester Art Museum. Almost all of the prints come from the collection of the Worcester, where the accompanying exhibition originated. Introductory essays by musician David Amram and poet David Lehman relate the abstract expressionist movement to its historical and artistic context, with emphasis on the relationships between writers and artists in New York City in the Forties and Fifties. In addition to the visual treats it offers, this catalog is a valuable addition to the literature on the breadth and depth of abstract expressionist printmaking. Recommended for academic, larger public, and specialized art libraries. Kathryn Wekselman, MLn, Cincinnati ISBN 10: 9053493433‎

‎"I treat the boy down at the post office like the president of Russia, and the president of Russia like the boy down at the post office." (David Bailey) Eye presents a selection of Bailey's photographs spanning from 1962 to 2008. Mostly black-and-white, some in color, they feature influential directors, artists, fashion designers and musicians, including Andy Warhol, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Yves Saint Laurent, John Huston and Ellsworth Kelly. Despite the broad cross-section of subjects and the different creative spheres they inhabit, Bailey approaches them all with the same, egalitarian attitude - each is as important, or unimportant, as the next. This approach, often expressed by Bailey's lack of props and minimal lighting, enables the photographer to tease from his subjects traits which often absent from more formal portraits - the warm benevolence of I.M. Pei for example, the exuberance of John Galliano, or the brooding look of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Crowned with cover art by Damien Hirst, Bailey's Eye reveals unexpected facets of the creative minds who have defined and in many cases continue to shape the culture in which we live.‎

‎ Expo : 06/2/2018 - 20/05/2018, Jeu de Paume, Paris Raoul Hausmann is emembered primarily for the central role he played in Berlin Dada with his assemblages, photomontages, and optophonetic poems, yet the vicissitudes of history caused his photography, an essential facet of his oeuvre, to be cast almost entirely into the shade. From 1927 on, Hausmann became an avid and restless photographer in Germany, in particular during his stays at the North Sea and Baltic coasts. While in exile in Ibiza after the Nazis came to power, he took an interest in the local populace and vernacular architecture, before emigrating again in 1936. During this intense decade, he reflected extensively on photography, developing a highly individual practice in the medium, simultaneously documentary and lyrical. This book reveals Hausmann's interwar photographic work in its entirety, and presents a detailed time line of his life. Raoul Hausmann, born 12. Juli 1886 in Vienna, died 1971 in Limoges. ‎

‎David Claerbout, De tijd die blijft - Le temps qui reste‎

‎Brussel, Ludion/Wiels, 2012 Softcover, 48 pagina's, expositiecatalogus, 29 x 25 cm, Nederlandstalig/Fran ais. *Als nieuw. ISBN 9789461300829.‎

‎Hoewel de kunstenaar werd opgeleid tot schilder, werkt hij vooral met video-, film- en fotografische installaties. In zijn werk concentreert hij zich op het onderscheid tussen bewegende en stilstaande beelden, op projecties waar de tijd lijkt stil te staan en op het onvermogen om met bewegende beelden de evoluerende werkelijkheid te vatten. Claerbouts werk wordt gekarakteriseerd door traagheid en precisie, door het ontrafelen of het bevriezen in de tijd, door de analyse van de klassieke en conventionele verhaallijnen, en het benadrukken van klank en beeld. In zijn grootbeeldprojecties wordt de toeschouwer deel van het werk. Claerbout hanteert de filmtaal om begrippen als beeld, representatie, tijd en ruimte op te roepen en te visualiseren. David Claerbout, werd geboren in 1969 te Kortrijk. Hij woont en werkt in Antwerpen en Berlijn.‎

‎David Claerbout is bekend om zijn video-installaties die hij wereldwijd tentoonstelt. Sinds zijn eerste videowerken midden jaren negentig won zijn werk snel aan complexiteit. De virtuele fotografie deed zijn werk en denken evolueren naar een verregaande synthetische beeldpraktijk die hem op het voorplan van de nieuwe mediakunst heeft geplaatst. Van daaruit ontwikkelde Claerbout een kritiek over de impact van de desintegratie van het vertrouwde fotografische beeld op het niveau van de waarneming en de (zintuiglijke) cognitie en de verregaande sociale en politieke gevolgen. Deze rijk ge llustreerde publicatie presenteert een selectie van werken van de afgelopen tien jaar. In een interview met Jonathan Pouthier, filmcurator voor het Centre Pompidou in Parijs, spreekt David Claerbout voor het eerst in de diepte over deze werken in relatie tot actuele discussies over fotografie, film en het virtuele. De publicatie valt samen met de Bi nnale van Veneti 2022 en solotentoonstellingen in onder meer M nchen, Berlijn, Boedapest en New York. //// Long-awaited monumental monograph on the work of David Claerbout In a conversation with Jonathan Pouthier, curator of the cinema programme of the Mus e National d?Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), video artist David Claerbout reflects for the first time in depth on his work of the past decade in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.

‎LUCIAN FREUD De zelfportretten‎

‎, Tijdsbeeld-Piece Mont e, 2019 Gebonden, Hardcover 260 x 230 mm, 160 pages, 130 colour illustrations Nederlandstalige uitgave . ISBN 9789490880255.‎

‎ALLE zelfportretten van Lucian Freud nu in n boek verzameld. In 1964 gaf Lucian Freud (1922-2011) zijn studenten aan het Norwich College of Art een opdracht: om naakte zelfportretten te schilderen die 'onthullend, sprekend, geloofwaardig ... echt zonder schaamte' waren. Het was een advies dat de kunstenaar zelf later ook zou volgen in zijn vele zelfportretten. Rauw, onversaagd en vaak naakt lezen Freuds zelfportretten als het ware als zijn biografie, en geven zij tegelijk inzicht in de ontwikkeling van zijn stijl als schilder. In de portetten is de kunstenaar steeds overweldigend aanwezig, of hij nu de rechtstreeks de confrontatie met de toeschouwer aangaat, of alleen aanwezig is als een schaduw of in een reflectie. Freud verkende het genre van het zelfportret op tal van onverwachte manieren. Autoriteiten op het gebied van Freuds leven en werk - kunsthistorici n mensen die hem persoonlijk hebben gekend - verkennen Freuds oeuvre en analyseren het belang van zijn zelfportretten. Een gesprek tussen kunsthistoricus Jasper Sharp en de actrice Tilda Swinton gaat in op de intensiteit waarmee Freud het menselijk lichaam bestudeerde - een intensiteit waarvan Swinton een bevoorrecht getuige was, maar die evenzeer gold wanneer Freud zijn eigen lichaam bestudeerde en op doek zette. David Dawson is een schilder en fotograaf en Freuds voormalige studio-assistent. Joseph Koerner is Victor S. Thomas hoogleraar kunst en architectuur aan de universiteit van Harvard. Jasper Sharp is adjunct-curator voor moderne en hedendaagse kunst in het Kunsthistorisches Museum in Wenen. Pulitzer Prize-winnaar en kunstcriticus Sebastian Smee is auteur van The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals and Throughthroughs in Modern Art (2016). Tilda Swinton is een Oscar-winnende actrice, model en kunstenares.

‎From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin. Hagiographic Exegesis and Collective Memory in the Early Medieval Cults of Omer and Bertin‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xiii + 340 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442192.‎

‎Summary Medieval historians who have explored the abbey of Sithiu (modern Saint-Omer) have often done so to explain the competition between the canons of Saint-Omer and the monks of Saint-Bertin, a rivalry deriving from their shared origins in the abbey of Sithiu. However, David Defries's book centers on the cooperative relationship that developed between the saints Omer and Bertin in the monks' collective memory. Throughout the early Middle Ages, the cults of the abbey's two patron saints shaped the life of the community at Sithiu, and the first four centuries of its development reveal how a group of monks negotiated their place in the larger Christian West, adapting Columbanian and Benedictine identities to fit the relationship they discerned between Omer and Bertin. The evolution of Sithiu's collective memory demonstrates that the methods used in most studies of early medieval collective memory produce a distorted image of the partnership. Historians overwhelmingly assume that collective memory has a narrative structure and that the texts meant to shape its evolution are "historiographic" in form. In contrast, David Defries treats Sithiu's historiography as a type of scriptural exegesis that emphasizes the allegorical levels, especially typology and tropology, of the Christian scriptural hermeneutic. Paradigm, not narration, structured early medieval Christian allegory and thus early medieval collective memory at the abbey. This argument has broad implications for the study of early medieval collective memory. The intellectual culture of Sithiu was typical of the early medieval West, and all the texts considered date between c. 740 and c. 1148, situating them in a period when writers trained in monasteries like Sithiu produced the vast majority of western European literature. From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin may thus be seen as a preliminary case study for the value of paradigmatic approaches to early medieval memory.‎

‎Summary Le lettere del medico fiorentino Alessandro Pini (1653-1717) e il suo trattato De moribus Turcarum fanno emergere un'immagine avvincente del popolo egiziano e della cultura ottomana. Ci che Pini ha osservato in Egitto e nel mondo ottomano rivela una straordinaria dimensione mediterranea di commistione culturale, fatta di scambi e di incontri scaturiti dalle necessit lavorative e anche dalla semplice quotidianit . Oltre alla missione scientifica ufficiale egli doveva svolgere un'intrigante attivit spionistica per Cosimo III, Granduca di Toscana, in cui si rivel poi fallimentare. Amareggiato e osteggiato per l'insuccesso, pass poi alle dipendenze della Repubblica di Venezia e dimor per vari anni a Istanbul e in Morea, dove senza pregiudizi e con ampiezza di vedute osserv le tradizioni e i costumi dei popoli che incontrava. Decise dunque consapevolmente di scrivere l'esaltazione di un mondo che l'Occidente vedeva come il suo alter ego negativo. Sebbene fosse stato imprigionato nella sua societ di adozione, Pini rimase affascinato, forse anche ipnotizzato, da quello stesso mondo che lo aveva variamente premiato e frustrato sia nel suo lavoro ufficiale che nel suo incarico segreto.

‎Reception of Biblical Figures. Essays in Method‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 8 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503600765.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

Ils tentent m me une ou plusieurs reconfigurations de leurs fonctions dans la soci t . En m me temps, les Sages ou rabbins essaient de capter leurs pr rogatives ancestrales. Un double mouvement de sacerdotalisation et de rabbinisation est alors perceptible dans les textes rabbiniques. Qu'en est-il des premiers textes mystiques juifs dits Hekhalot ? Une telle dialectique de rejet et d'int gration est-elle perceptible ? Par comparaison, d'autres mouvements appel s plus tard chr tiens, dont certains gnostiques et d'autres groupes dans le monde perse, ont eu la m me tendance.
