‎Paris ist meine Bibliothek : Zeichnungen und Druckgraphik von F licien Rops‎

‎, Hamburger Kunsthalle, 2023 Hardcover, 216 Seiten, Deutsch, 285 x 215 x 20 mm, NEU, mit abb. in farbe. ISBN 9783731913047.‎

‎Nackte, aufreizend dargestellte Frauenk rper, schockierende satanistische Rituale, fantasievoll-opulente Szenerien: Kaum ein Radierer des 19. Jahrhunderts war derart ber chtigt und einflussreich wie der K nstler F licien Rops (1833?1898). T tig v. a. in Br ssel und Paris pr gten seine immer wieder f r Skandale bekannten Graphiken bis nach 1900 mehrere K nstlergenerationen, zu denen u. a. Max Klinger, Alfred Kubin und Otto Dix geh rten. Hinter seinen frivol-obsz nen Darstellungen stecken scharfer Witz, Gesellschaftskritik sowie politische Satire. Das Kupferstichkabinett der Hamburger Kunsthalle beherbergt seit 1907 eine umfangreiche Sammlung an Werken des belgischen Symbolisten, die bis heute nahezu unbekannt ist. Die Ausstellung ?Paris ist meine Bibliothek? wird erstmals knapp 100 Bl tter aus diesem Konvolut pr sentieren. Dies erlaubt es, die von Rops so h ufig thematisierten Geschlechterrollen, sozialen Verh ltnisse und moralischen Ambivalenzen des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Blick zu nehmen.‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, cxl + 853 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language: Latin. ISBN 9782503593081.‎

‎Summary Die Compilatio singularis exemplorum ist eine Exempelsammlung, die gegen Ende des 13. Jahrhundert von einem anonymen franz sischen Dominikaner zusammengestellt wurde. Sie enth lt neben vielen auch anderweitig breit und variantenreich berlieferten Stoffen einiges sonst nur selten erhaltene oder g nzlich unbekannte Erz hlgut. Zudem hebt sie sich von den meisten anderen Exempelsammlungen durch das ihr zugrundeliegende Gliederungsprinzip ab, welches sich an der Dreiteilung der mittelalterlichen Christenheit in S kularklerus, Regularklerus und Laienstand orientiert: Streng hierarchisch geordnet, werden der Reihe nach Geschichten ber die Mitglieder dieser drei St nde erz hlt. Von den P psten bis hinab zu den Theologiestudenten, von den bten und Abtissinnen bis hinab zu den Laienbr dern und Beginen, von den Kaisern und K nigen bis hinab zu den gesellschaftlichen Randexistenzen wird vor uns das ganze Panoptikum der sp tmittelalterlichen Gesellschaft entfaltet. Dem so entworfenen Abbild der Menschenwelt werden in den ersten Teilen der Sammlung eine Marienvita, zahlreiche Marienmirakel, Hostienwunder, Kreuzzugsgeschichte und einige Geschichten ber die Engel vorangestellt. Lediglich der letzte, vermutlich sekund r hinzugef gte Teil der Sammlung weicht von der Gesamtkonzeption des Werkes ab. Er vereint in sich eine Liste altfranz sischer Sprichw rter nebst deren lateinischen Nachdichtungen, Proben der Vagantenpoesie des Hugo Primas und weitere Verse erbaulichen und unterhaltsamen Inhalts. Der lateinische Text der Sammlung ist stellenweise von altfranz sischen Einsprengseln durchsetzt, die in einigen F llen das Ausma kleinerer Gedichte erreichen. Er wird hier zum ersten Mal vollst ndig nach allen drei bekannten berlieferungstr gern, Handschriften des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, kritisch herausgegeben.‎

‎Ravenna in the Imagination of Renaissance Art‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 208 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:100 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503583990.‎

‎Summary It is clear that Renaissance artists and their patrons were interested in Ravenna's buildings and their decorations, both before Vasari's negative pronouncements and after them. Contemporary European travelers and diarists have left descriptions of the city's heritage, by then in ruinous condition. What happens if we reinsert this corpus of Ravenna's treasures and their multiple imbrications into our histories of Renaissance art? How can our narratives change if we trace and study an almost forgotten, albeit rich and articulated series of intersections between Ravenna's splendors and ambitious works of art and architecture from early modern Italy? We have ignored a series of visual engagements and imaginative plays with Ravenna's forms, materials, and iconographies, folding the past into the present and the present into the past. These instances of creative imitations and recreations can best be recovered if we focus on the Renaissance production and humanists' accounts of the city's treasures, that is, works in various media and size, to map out an extended dimension of early modern visual culture.

‎Shifting Places: Peter Downsbrough, the Photographs .‎

‎, uni pers leuven, 2011 paperback,Language: English, Series: Lieven Gevaert Series 12, Number of pages: 188 p. Illustrations: 140, Width: 170 cm x Height: 230 cm . ISBN 9789058678720.‎

‎Since the late 1960s Peter Downsbrough (1940) has been an important figure in contemporary art, associated with major international art movements such as minimal art, conceptual art, and visual poetry. In his artistic work he explores various fields including sculpture, architecture, books, film, and photography. This book provides, for the first time, a profound insight into Downsbrough's diverse and complex use of photography within his artistic work over the last 40 years. A substantial essay by Alexander Streitberger discusses the artist's photographic work - which includes single prints, series, postcards, collages, and books - within its aesthetic and historical context. Streitberger relates Downsbrough's work to fundamental issues of photographic practice and discourse such as the photograph as document, the representation of urban space, space-time relations, collage as an aesthetic and political means of expression, the relationship between still and moving image, and the context of presentation. The rich image material - some of which has never been published before - is arranged by the artist himself in order to create a fertile exchange between the topics of the text and his own intervention. Concluding with an exclusive interview with the artist, this book offers a real dialogue between artistic practice and theoretical reflexion. ‎

‎Nicolaes Gillis: Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630 / Pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven‎

‎, Primavera Pers, 2024 Hardback, 304 pages, Illustrated. 29.5 (hoogte) x 25.3cm, Tekst; Nederlands, Catalogue raisonne. *Nieuw. ISBN 9789059974159.‎

‎NICOLAES GILLIS (Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630) behoort tot de eerste beoefenaars van het zelfstandige stilleven. Over zijn leven was tot nog toe niet veel bekend, behalve dat hij uit Antwerpen kwam en in Haarlem werkzaam was. Nieuw onderzoek wijst op een gedegen leertijd in Antwerpen, waarna Gillis furore maakte als pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven. In Antwerpen heeft Gillis veel geleerd van Osias Beert; in Haarlem was de kruisbestuiving met Floris van Dijck van belang. De gezamenlijke invloed van Gillis en Van Dijck zou zich uitstrekken naar volgende generaties stillevenschilders. Het oeuvre dat Nicolaes Gillis heeft nagelaten is niet erg groot. Dit boek laat echter zien dat het veelzijdiger en invloedrijker is geweest dan voorheen werd aangenomen. Gillis was niet alleen een schakel tussen Antwerpen en Haarlem, maar ook een echte vernieuwer. Deze eerste monografie met catalogue raisonn is het resultaat van uitgebreid kunsthistorisch onderzoek en speurwerk in archieven. Behalve een overvloedige bron van informatie, vormt het boek een terecht eerbetoon aan Nicolaes Gillis. Drs. Alexander Thijs (1980) heeft na een carri re als tandarts zijn liefde voor Oude Meesters verder ontwikkeld met oog voor historische context, herkomstonderzoek, symboliek en schildertechnieken. Als zelfstandig onderzoeker bestudeerde hij voor de tentoonstelling Ode aan Antwerpen (Utrecht, Museum Catharijneconvent, 2023) een schilderij van Erasmus II Quellinus, Rubens? laatste grote leerling en medewerker. Dit leidde tot een bijdrage aan de tentoonstellingscatalogus Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam.‎

‎This publication forms the catalogue of three solo-exhibitions of artist Katinka Bock in Paris, London and Toronto that were linked to the work ?Zarba Lonsa? which she created during her residency at Les Laboratoires d?Aubervilliers in Paris in 2016. Particularly interested by the atmosphere of the Quatre-Chemins district where Les Laboratories is located, the artist went to meet merchants to initiate a relationship with them based on the exchange of one of her works for an object of their shop. This gesture was the starting point of a creative process that has unfolded in several forms ? sculptures, installation, films and photos. Renewing the process of this exchange-based relationship in a specific urban context for a new production of works and photographs, a second edition of the project took shape under the title _0_0__0 in June 2017 at Mercer Union in Toronto. To complete the series, a last edition took place at the Siobhan Davies Dance in London under the title Mesonya/ in Fall 2017‎

‎Summary The archaeological excavations conducted from one end of the Mediterranean zone to the other have illuminated the place of gods in the ritual practices in the dwellings of the Graeco-Roman era. The discovery of multiple artefacts, dedicated spaces, and figurative paintings support new avenues of historical, anthropological, and social reflection with the aim of better understanding domestic religious practices in the polytheistic contexts of antiquity. This collective volume organizes those reflections around three axes. The first axis centres on identifying the deities that were favoured in domestic sanctuaries. Which gods are represented and which are not? The second axis concerns the interrelationships evident within domestic ritual spaces and sanctuaries. The third axis is dedicated to the anthropology of rituals. Lines of inquiry informed by anthropological, social, and phenomenological approaches are assuming ever-greater importance in scholarship on Antiquity. It is from this perspective that the authors explore the role that domestic ritual spaces play in shaping the lived environment.

‎Summary At a time when we reflect intensively on the issue of social cohesion, on the influence of architecture in lifestyles, and on relationships between neighbourhoods within large modern cities, this book aims to approach the study of "inhabiting modes" in Roman urban dwellings. Drawing on concepts common to historical anthropology and incorporating evidence from multiple lines of research (archaeological, iconographic, textual, and others), this volume aims to contribute to the invigoration of a social history of ancient housing through new research projects, publications, and digital tools from both individual and collaborative efforts. This field of study is currently undergoing a period of disciplinary revitalization and this volume is an opportunity to present the most recent work and to conduct a dialogue in an interdisciplinary perspective.

‎Letters of Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). An Italian Transcription, English Translation and Critical Edition‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 2 vols, vi + 1104 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:4 b/w, 47 col., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9781905375882.‎

‎Summary These two volumes comprise the first English translation and critical edition of the extant letters of the Neapolitan painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). Presented in a revised Italian transcription and a complete English translation, the letters are accompanied by extensive historical notes, a philological apparatus, a comprehensive index, appendices, and photographs of the manuscripts. A number of previously unpublished letters also appear here for the first time. Unique among early modern primary documents for their quantity and exceptional for their candour, Rosa's letters are not only a fascinating and intimate chronicle of the artist himself but also an invaluable record of the activities and aspirations of his contemporaries,?offering useful insights into historical persons, ideas and events. An indispensable early modern primary source, comparable in significance to the letters of Michelangelo, Nicolas Poussin or Peter Paul Rubens, Rosa's letters here receive a long-overdue analysis and an English translation that seeks to make more accessible their contents, frequently impenetrable to even native Italian speakers.‎

‎The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity ? in carvings, markings, and cave paintings ? bear witness to humanity?s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton?s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ?dictionary? of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.‎

‎Saint-Pétersbourg - L’architecture des tsars‎

‎Saint-Pétersbourg a fêté en 2003 le tricentenaire de sa fondation par le tsar Pierre le Grand. Sa création, qui correspond à l'émergence du Siècle des Lumières, est un défi lancé à la Nature. Née d'un marécage glacé, la construction de la ville apparaît comme une prouesse humaine. Saint-Pétersbourg, la ville de la culture impériale, possède le plus grand nombre de palais de toute la Russie. Cet ouvrage propose une étude rigoureuse de ce patrimoine architectural unique. Les constructions de chaque tsar ou impératrice (Pierre le Grand, Anna Ire, Elisabeth Ire, Catherine la Grande, Paul Ier, Alexandre Ier et Nicolas Ier, Alexandre II, Alexandre III, Nicolas II) sont analysées, décrites, révélées à travers le beau regard photographique d'Alexandre Orloff. Sont enfin plus spécialement étudiés les palais de Tsarskoie Selo, Oranienbaum, Gatchina, Pavlovsk et Peterhoff.‎

‎Timed to coincide with a major exhibition, this volume revisits the years during which celebrated designer Martin Margiela achieved the status as one of the most important designers at work today. One of the Antwerp group of six who changed the face of contemporary fashion, Margiela created 41 runway shows between 1989 and 2009 which promoted a unique vision of understated luxury -- monochromes, oversize volumes, and his signature constructed-deconstructed cuts - whose credo is comfort, timelessness, sensuality, and authenticity. Famously reclusive, Margiela never showed his face even at his own shows in order that the work could stand purely on its own, free from any link to celebrity or self-promotion. This volume chronicles these amazing fashion shows in careful detail: the extraordinary spaces, the music, the designer's intentions, the iconic pieces. Over the years, recurring motifs and inspirations become more apparent including anonymity, whiteness, past and anteriority, diversion. The book reveals the sensitive, poetic and incredibly innovative universe of this most influential contemporary fashion designer.‎
