‎Leonardo, Bramante, and the Academia: Art and Friendship in Fifteenth-Century Milan‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, xvi + 360 pages, Size:215 x 280 mm, Illustrations:0 b/w, 110 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554423.‎

‎Summary This book is the first study to provide a comprehensive historical and theoretical account of the Academia Leonardi Vinci. Pederson brings together literary sources to offer a new interpretation of the academy not as one singular entity, but as a collection of academic modalities in Renaissance Milan. Eventually these various modalities converged around their namesake Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the architect Donato Bramante. This group drew together not only humanists, as in other early Italian academies, but also practitioners of a range of disciplines that ultimately gave way to a new kind of group. This collective of creative personages generated forms of expression that explored the liminal spaces between art, geometry, architecture, and the natural world, which in turn stimulated conversation and debate. This activity made it different from other early Italian academies, and in this way it offered something entirely new.‎

‎Jim Dine : A Printmaker's Document‎

‎, Steidl, 2013 Hardcover, 280 pages, ENG. edition, 280 x 190 x 25 mm, NEW, illustrated by the well-known style of Dine, in color / b/w. ISBN 9783869306445.‎

‎Inspired by a semi-autobiographical book by the mid-20th century German printmaker HAP Grieshaber, I have used his idea to create a story of fifty years as a printmaker. The book includes interviews with my printers and memories of my life around the prints I made at that time. I have made over a thousand prints so far and I am not done yet. There are ?key? images illustrated, and the text attempts to marry the technical with my emotional feeling for the mediums, etching, lithography, woodcut and silkscreen. I have included recipes for variations on intaglio and some stories of my friendships with these gifted artisans who have produced this work.? Jim Dine‎

‎Jim Dine - I Never Look Away ; Selbstportrats-Selfportraits‎

‎, Kehrer Verlag 2016, 2016 Hardcover, 187 pages/seiten, 290 x 240 mm, English/Deutsch, illustrated, book in fine condition/in guten zustand,. ISBN 9783868286885.‎

‎Jim Dine ranks alongside figures such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Wayne Thibaud as one of the celebrated stars of American Pop Art. The self-portraits, which Dine began painting in the 1950s, serve to catalyze an independent, intense, and surprising dialog with the artist and his output. And Dine's diverse experiments with a wide range of techniques and materials address themes including youth and old age, intimacy and extroversion, and seriality and creativity on paper?enabling these self-portraits to open up new insights into a supposedly familiar oeuvre. The book presents a selection of almost one hundred fascinating self-portraits.‎

‎THE RIDDLES OF UKIYO-E Women and Men in Japanese Prints 1705-1865‎

‎, ludion, 2023 HB, 290 x 235 mm, 256 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9789493039902.‎

‎Aan de hand van beelden van vrouwen en mannen uit de hoogtijdagen van de Japanse prentkunst (1765-1865) gaat dit boek dieper in op de subtiele iconografie en de complexe symbolen die eigen zijn aan deze traditie. De intrigerende elementen verwijzen naar de Japanse geschiedenis, literatuur, mythologie, mode, folklore en roddels uit de Edo-periode en zijn soms moeilijk te onderscheiden, laat staan te vatten, zonder de juiste kennis. Opgedeeld in de klassieke prentkunstthema's zoals mooie vrouwen, helden, en acteurs, reikt dit rijkelijk geillustreerde boek de lezer de sleutels aan om de verborgen betekenissen in meer dan 100 Japanse topprenten te begrijpen. Mooie vrouwen - waaronder dames uit Edo's bekende bordeelwijk Yoshiwara - nemen een groot deel van het boek in beslag. Helden en schurken illustreren het rijke mythologische en pseudo-historische verleden van Japan. Ook de volksvermaken kabuki en sumo komen aan bod: beroemde acteurs spelen hun bekendste rollen als moedige mannen of delicate geisha. Aan de hand van werken van grote meesters van de Japanse prentkunst zoals Suzuki Harunobu, Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku, Utagawa Toyokuni en zijn opvolger Utagawa Kunisada, worden de geheimen van ukiyo-e prijsgegeven, die fascinerende traditie die een Women and men - strong, proud, tragic or beautiful - from the heyday (1765-1865) of Japanese printmaking are this book's subject. It seeks to dig below the surface of the prints to describe the often subtle iconography employed in these masterful creations by the most famous artists of their time. It begins with Suzuki Harunobu's subdued and introverted scenes of women seated on verandas. The book then moves on to the spectacular 'big face' (okubi-e) portraits of prostitutes and Kabuki actors by artists like Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku and Utagawa Kunimasa. Frail 'streetwalkers', forced by circumstance into the lowest ranks of prostitution, are transformed into elegant beauties, obscuring their tragic existence. The spectacle of heroes from Japan's rich mythological and pseudo-historical past crowd the printed sheet. Stern-faced actors drawn by the confident hands of Utagawa Toyokuni and his pupil Kunisada demonstrate the economy of line and powerful expression of the woodblock medium. Each print is explored in the finest detail in order to explain the riddles of Ukiyo-e -the intriguing and captivating mode of visual expression that would have such a profound influence on Western art.‎

‎JIMMY NELSON : Humanity‎

‎, Skira (Thames), 2024 HB, 320 x 245 mm, 224 p, ENG. colored illustrations; NEW. ISBN 9788857251059.‎

‎Jimmy Nelson: Humanity is about the renowned photographer Jimmy Nelson's personal and artistic journey across the world, an expedient to take people across a deeper journey of reflection on their own identity as part of the universal family of humans. His travels are similar to field expeditions, with lots of preparation and contingencies to take into account. They can last weeks, if not months. For Jimmy Nelson, traveling is part of his artistic process, epitomizing a resolute search into what it means to be human, deeply, at the core of our shared origins from one same source in the African continent. In the process, he has reconnected with his own deeper self and has realized that humanity is all one. In Jimmy Nelson: Humanity, the photographer is passionate to share why he is obsessively searching for a form of art that can embrace what he experiences in the field, when he finds alignment with the people, nature, light; a sense of balance that creates a symphony of experiences that analogue photography, in the form of the giant 10x8 negatives, gets close to express and that allows him to funnel all the emotions that he wants to record visually, in just one instant. Through his spectacular shots, Jimmy Nelson's journey becomes our journey and indigenous peoples, normally photographed as an ethnographic subject, become the protagonists of a story of "unadulterated beauty" that empowers the beholders to perceive all humanity.‎

‎Woven into the Urban Fabric. Cloth Manufacture and Economic Development in the Flemish West-Quarter (1300-1600)‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 251 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 13 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594552.‎

‎Summary This regional study focuses on the socio-economic development of the so-called West-Quarter of the county of Flanders during the period 1300-1600. Through the expansion of potent textile industries in the countryside from the fourteenth century onwards, this region gradually attained distinctly 'urban' characteristics in terms of production scale, specialisation, product quality, and the aim for external markets. By the middle of the sixteenth century the West-Quarter had even become one of Flanders's main production regions of woolen cloth. This book assesses how and why this economic expansion took place, why it happened at that particular moment, and why in this region. The broader aims of the research are twofold: first, to offer a contribution to the debate on Europe's transition from a 'feudal' to a 'capitalist' or market economy by looking at the influence of specific social structures and institutional frameworks on the economic development of pre-industrial societies. Secondly, this book contributes to the debate about the divide between town and countryside in pre-industrial Europe, combining the outlooks and methods of both urban and rural historians in order to qualify this supposed dichotomy.‎

‎Protevangelium of James. Critical edition, with translation and commentary‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 126 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Greek. ISBN 9782503593142.‎

‎Summary As a prehistory to the Nativity accounts of the gospels of Matthew and Luke the Protevangelium of James, dated to the second half of the second century, aimed to fill in alleged gaps in the canonical accounts of Jesus' and his mother's ancestry and births. Thus, it describes the birth of Mary, the mother of Christ, the Annunciation, the Nativity and the death of Zachariah, the high priest and father of John the Baptist. The edition of the original Greek text has an English version on its facing pages. There are also editorial notes to enable all interested parties to benefit from reading this important and influential text. The commentary pays particular attention to the early liturgical use of the Protevangelium and to artistic representations of the scenes it describes as these were the main means by which this highly influential text was transmitted throughout the known world. It also questions the usually accepted genre and purpose of the text and suggests that its author may have had a satirical intention or have intended it as an early Christian novelette, using scriptural scenes and themes as his inspiration. Maybe we have approached the Protevangelium of James with solemn faces and have been prepared to carry out serious theological investigations, whereas the many inconsistencies and glaring contradictions so obvious as to be ridiculous might suggest the author's intentions were not quite so grave or weighty.‎

‎Tributes to Paul Binski. Medieval Gothic: Art, Architecture & Ideas‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, 436 pages, Size:210 x 275 mm, Illustrations:22 b/w, 132 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554744.‎

‎Summary This volume is published in honour of Paul Binski, whose scholarship and teaching have done so much to illuminate the material and intellectual worlds of Gothic art and architecture. Remarkable for its material scope and philosophical depth, Paul's work has had a powerful influence on the current state of the field: this is reflected here in thirty-four essays on buildings, works of art and ideas in a wide range of historical and geographical contexts, from Iberia to Scandinavia and Italy to Ireland. Consistently fresh in their scholarship, these essays combine to make an important contribution to medieval art history. In doing so they reflect the admiration and affection which Paul inspires in his students and colleagues.
