‎In de monografie komen personen aan het woord die Gilliams nog hebben gekend. En er is veel materiaal geput uit nog onontgonnen archieven. De auteur zal dit kort toelichten. Zoals een van de proeflezers opmerkte: ?het evenwicht zit goed tussen achtergrondinformatie en evocatie van Gilliams? complexe persoonlijkheid en worstelingen?. Een ander zei: ?Ik wist al het nodige van Gilliams, maar nu heb ik hem pas echt leren kennen?. U bent van harte uitgenodigd, en breng gerust nog een vriend of vriendin mee. Kom om elkaar te ontmoeten, te spreken en vragen te stellen; daar zal voldoende tijd voor zijn‎

‎Vanaf de vroege zestiende eeuw verschenen er in Europa steeds meer studies waarin dieren en planten 'naar het leven' werden beschreven en verbeeld. In de daaropvolgende eeuwen werd het onderzoek naar de natuurlijke wereld verdiept en werd de kunst om die wonderbaarlijke natuur af te beelden geperfectioneerd. In De ontdekking van de natuur vindt u twintig prachtige en rijk ge llustreerde verhalen over vogels, insecten, bacteri n, draken en nog veel meer. De beschreven ontdekkingen zijn doorspekt met anekdotes over de bijzondere mannen en vrouwen die er tussen 1500 en 1900 voor hebben gezorgd dat wij het leven om ons heen en dat van onszelf zoveel beter begrijpen. Lees over de draak die in 1572 op een akker bij Bologna werd verslagen, over Van Leeuwenhoek, die met behulp van de door hemzelf gemaakte microscoop bacteri n in zijn eigen tandplak ontdekte. Of over hoe de jonge Charles Darwin tijdens zijn reis met de Beagle inzichten kreeg die de basis legden voor zijn evolutieleer. Hans Mulder is opgeleid als historicus en werkt als conservator natuurlijke historie van het Allard Pierson, de collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij publiceert over de geschiedenis van het boek en over hoe in de westerse samenleving de kijk op de natuur in de loop der tijd veranderde. Onderwerpen waarover hij ook doceert aan de UvA.

‎, Hannibal Books, 2025 hardcover, 28 x 23 cm, 272 pages, Hardcover, English edition, Quadrichromy, *New. ISBN 9789493416055.‎

‎A lasting memory to Hans Op de Beeck?s unique installation at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp In Nocturnal Journey, visual artist Hans Op de Beeck (b. 1969) invites us on an extraordinary journey through a desolate, mysterious landscape. His monochrome grey sculptures appear petrified or dusted with ash, as if frozen in time. These works draw the viewer in and invite contemplation on the poetry of everyday, unguarded moments. But there is more. Behind the serene beauty lies an enigmatic, dark atmosphere of impending derailment. The frozen figures?characters, still lifes, objects, animals, nature, and architecture?come together to form an uncanny, surreal world that compels us to reflect on our humanity. This book presents a remarkable visual record that captures the unique mood of the exhibition. With texts by Annelien De Troij and St phane Symons. Publication accompanying the exhibition Hans Op de Beeck: Nocturnal Journey at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, from 21 March to 17 August 2025..‎

‎ALFRED KUBIN : Confessions of a Tortured Soul‎

‎, Walther Koenig Verlag (Thames) 2022, 2022 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 285 x 240 mm, *New, illustrations in colour, . ISBN 9783753301983.‎

‎The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which - to quote Schopenhauer - delineate "the worst of all possible worlds". Kubin's childhood and adolescence was shaped by setbacks and depression - he was dismissed from high school, abandoned his photography apprenticeship, lost his mother at an early age, attempted suicide at her grave and suffered a nervous breakdown after a short stint in the military. These are only some of the blows of fate that characterize his traumatic biography. Kubin found relief by moving to Munich in 1898, where he began to study art. His first visit to the Alte Pinakothek left him "filled with astonishment and ecstasy". He described seeing Max Klinger's etchings as a "cascade of visions of black and white images". As we know from his biographical notes, he subsequently familiarized himself "with the entire graphic oeuvre of Klinger, Goya, de Groux, Rops, Munch, Ensor, Redon and comparable artists". It was from this variety of impressions and artistic positions, but especially from his own empirical and emotional worlds and unbridled imagination, that Kubin created his unparalleled, mysterious-fantastical oeuvre. The exhibition at the Leopold Museum is the first to attempt an exploration of Kubin's oneiric worlds - which all too often enter nightmarish-somber spheres - in terms of their relation to the unconscious and the deep dimensions of the psyche. In this interpretation attempt, the psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs will orient himself on works by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger with specific thematic emphases in mind. Kubin's works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of Classical Modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration for his oeuvre. Kubin's dystopian visualizations, which carry on from Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered precursors to French Surrealism, are composed of actual and imaginary reality: an ingenious synthesis, in which the uncanniness of these pessimistic realms is often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration.‎

‎Adam Helms‎

‎, Snoeck Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh 2013, 2013 Hardcover, 202 pages, English, 305 x 245 mm, fine copy, lots of illustrations and pictures,. ISBN 9783864420313.‎

‎Using an array of media, from found photography, gouache and charcoal on paper and silkscreen to assemblage and installation, acclaimed New York-based artist Adam Helms (born 1974) explores social and military conflict and the continuities between past and present instances of injustice. Helms draws heavily on found imagery (such as online images or photographs from library archives), frequently superimposing contemporary images and drawings upon them to establish both the eerie remoteness and the relevance of the past. This volume, the artist's first monograph, consists of full-page color spreads of installation views and details of the artist's oeuvre from 2007 to the present, as installed at institutions such as The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Sister, Los Angeles; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Grimm Gallery, Amsterdam and Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York.‎

‎IMAGES TROUV ES Hans Segers‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 46, 2021 HB, 297 x 210 mm, 72 pages, Illustrated. ENG-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262470.‎

‎Hans Segers examines the formal properties of a painting. He emphasises how a painting is only a representation and presents it as an imitation of reality, 'trompe l'oeil', painted object and elevated art object. References to painting and sculpture are never far away. He chooses a number of abstracted, recurring forms that evoke the thought of a cloud, tree trunk and house. They function as his image library from which he draws to refer to reality. In the book Images Trouv es, Hans Segers collected twenty-nine shapes originally in a long concertina-shaped picture atlas, an archive of icons. Twenty-nine people from the art world in Belgium and France were invited to verbalise an image. As a result, the images in this book are enriched with new layers of meaning. The text contributions are by: Paul Morez, Philip Aguirre, Herv Br hier, Koen Brams, Kasper De Vos, Nav Haq, Kathleen Weyts, H l ne Audiffren, Gw nola M nou, Patrick Ronse, Win Van den Abbeele, Rinus Van de Velde, Lucie Renneboog, Frank Maes, Phillip Van den Bossche, Liesje Vandenbroeck, Suzanne Hetzel, Arnaud Vasseux, Kati Heck, Narcisse Tordoir, Isabelle Viallat, Inge Henneman, Pascal Neveux, Sofie Dederen, Indra Devriendt, Philippe Van Cauteren, Koen Sels, Rokus Hofstede and Xavier Noiret-Thom ‎

‎Carole Vanderlinden Mon seul d sir‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 24, 2017 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 72 pages, Illustrated.ENG-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262241.‎

‎The best introduction to the work of Carole Vanderlinden (b. 1973) is explaining how it was created. It's probably easier to read her work if you know how it came to life. Many artists take inspiration from existing works of art they?ve generally come into contact with when growing up, often in books or magazines, sometimes in museums and galleries. Carole Vanderlinden loves to read and to leaf through books, but her main interest is visiting museums of ancient or ethnographic art. In general, she looks for any event, drawing, object, pattern, colour and rhythm that speaks to her. Joining her on two of these trips of discovery, once in Brussels and once in Paris, she can be fascinated by the most diverse objects, such as a zigzag Navajo carpet, Egyptian alabaster Canopic jars dating back to 1500 BC, 18th-century glazed biscuit from Tournai or a herbarium. These objects and their colours and rhythms are copied in notebooks, often with an accompanying text. Later she might re-paint them on paper creating new combinations or compositions. These works on paper usually remain quite light, with a lot of cut-outs, like minimalist collages. In parallel Vanderlinden works on her paintings without any preconceived idea. Layer after layer the paintings try to avoid being controlled or supervised in any way. Sometimes we see patterns emerge that are familiar from her works on paper. These patterns are used as ways of countering a painting, destabilising it, recreating a balance or finishing it. During this practice, the patterns become more compact and dense. Slowly they merge with the stubborn texture of the painting. The book Mon seul d sir is a follow-up to Nocturne (2013). It contains reproductions of works on paper by Carole Vanderlinden and an oniric essay of Hans Theys, inspired by Carole?s works on paper and the medieval tapestry La dame la licorne.?

‎, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2012 Softcover,SC / 240 pages / 29,7 x 21 cm. fine. ISBN 9789490693398.‎

‎For many years now, Johan De Wilde's work has been praised for its meticulous drawing style. The many solemnly applied layers that compose the works also hide in their folds, ever shrinking never to vanish, the Great Irony of our existence and its languages. This first monography presents over 500 drawings, prints and collages from the early nineties to today, concluding with the epic series Hands of Time. The book includes an essay by Hans Theys. A must for those acquainted with De Wilde?s works and a perfect introduction for all others. ‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2025 hardcover, 29 x 23,5 cm, 240 pages, illustrated Quadrichromie Engelstalige edition ISBN . ISBN 9789464941890.‎

‎Long-awaited debut of American painter Lois Dodd ?Dodd is a chronicler of what others seem to miss.? ? Katy Hessel Dodd?s small, intimately scaled paintings are almost always completed in one plein-air sitting. Her subjects include trees, laundry on clotheslines, New England outbuildings, lush summer gardens, and views of and through windows. She often returns to familiar motifs repeatedly at different times of the year with dramatically varied results. Her paintings insist on the worth of what is often overlooked, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary, and inviting viewers to slow down, to look closely, and to find meaning in the passing moment. With contributions by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries; Janice McNab, fellow at the Women?s International Study Center (Santa Fe); Karen Wilkin, New York-based curator and critic specializing in twentieth-century modernism; Katy Hessel, art historian and founder of The Great Women Artists podcast; Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen, curator at Kunstmuseum Den Haag; and many others. This book is published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, on view from 30 August 2025 to 6 April 2026.‎

‎In dit boek staat een voorstelling van Phoebus Apollo centraal, geschilderd door de barokke meester Jan Boeckhorst. Phoebus is de zonnegod naar wie The Phoebus Foundation is genoemd. Hij is de beschermer van de muzen en dus van de kunsten. Hij staat ook symbool voor het licht en de zon, en is intens verbonden met de ?gouden tijd?: een mythisch tijdperk vol eindeloze overvloed en rechtvaardigheid. In de reeks ?Phoebus Focus? gaan experts en wetenschappers in op topstukken uit de rijke collectie van kunststichting The Phoebus Foundation. Hans Vlieghe ( 1939) studeerde kunstgeschiedenis aan de universiteit van Gent, waar hij ook enkele jaren werkzaam was als assistent. Hij promoveerde in 1967 over het oeuvre van de Antwerpse kunstschilder Gaspar De Crayer. Na diverse studie- en onderzoeksverblijven in M nchen, Londen, Firenze en Rome ging hij als wetenschappelijk medewerker aan de slag in wat nu het Centrum Rubenianum heet. Daar is hij tevens lid van de raad van bestuur en werkt hij mee aan het Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard. Sinds 1990 is hij lid van de Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van Belgi voor Kunsten en Wetenschappen. Als hoogleraar was Vlieghe verbonden aan de universiteiten van Antwerpen en Leuven. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de Vlaamse schilderkunst van de zeventiende eeuw. Naast zijn onderzoek over De Crayer schreef hij tal van publicaties over (onder meer) Peter Paul Rubens en schilders uit diens entourage, over David II Teniers en Jan Boeckhorst. Sinds 2004 is hij met emeritaat, maar dat weerhoudt hem er niet van om kunsthistorisch onderzoek te blijven uitvoeren.‎

‎Otherness' in the Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 478 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 9 col., 4 maps b/w, 4 maps, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594026.‎

‎Summary Although 'Otherness' is an extremely common phenomenon in every society, related research is still at its beginnings. 'Otherness' in the Middle Ages is a versatile and complex theme that covers a great number of different aspects, facets, and approaches: from non-human monsters and cultural strangers from remote places up to foreigners from another country or another town; it can refer to ethnic, cultural, political, social, sexual, or religious 'Otherness', inside or outside one's own community. In any case, however, 'Otherness' is a subjective phenomenon depending on personal views and ascriptions, an issue of 'imagination' and experience rather than 'reality'. There is neither one single model of alterity nor is 'Otherness' a stable phenomenon, but it changes over time and according to the cultural context. All this calls for methodological reflection and needs thorough investigation. The methodological introduction and the 18 contributions of this volume demonstrate the great diversity of the theme and its different manifestations and perspectives. They tackle the problem from distinct angles and disciplines (history, art history, archaeology, literary history, and philology) in a wide chronological and thematic frame, using different methodological approaches, dealing with different areas (from Northern and Southern Europe to Byzantium and India), perspectives (including law, social order, the past, a sea), and diverse kinds of sources. They examine all kinds of 'Otherness' mentioned above, highlight demarcation and rejection, aversion or acceptance, assimilation and integration, thus relativizing a strict dichotomy between 'the Self' and 'the Other' or between inside and outside. This volume is so far the most comprehensive attempt to tackle the huge problem of 'Otherness' in the Middle Ages.
