‎KOLLWITZ : TAKING A STAND ‎

‎, Hirmer Verlag (Thames), 2024 HB, 280 x 240 mm, ENG. edition, 240 pages, NEW , 192 illustrations, ****Expo : 18/06/2024 - 16/08/2024, Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland **** Zürich and Kunsthalle Bielefeld. ISBN 9783777442327.‎

‎Examines the art and passion of Käthe Kollwitz, who used art to bring a voice to political issues. Raw, unprettified, and decried in conservative circles as "gutter art," Käthe Kollwitz employed her art uncompromisingly as a political voice for the social and human misery of her time. Her focus always lay on the dignity of humankind. Taking a Stand provides wide-ranging insight into the commitment and creative work of the artist, whose achievements are more topical than ever. It covers the entire spectrum of Kollwitz's creative work, including the world-famous cycles of the graphic works A Weavers' Revolt and Peasants' War, rare proofs, moving drawings, and sculptures, each of which showcases all facets of her masterful skills. The political dimension of Kollwitz's art becomes tangible in a particularly impressive manner through her posters. The unbroken validity of her work is demonstrated in a juxtaposition with the interventions by the contemporary artist Mona Hatoum, which revolve around topics such as vulnerability, persecution, and the experience of conflict.‎

‎Mona Kuhn : Private‎

‎, Steidl, 2014 Hardcover, 110 pages, ENG, 315 x 305 x 18 mm, dustjacket, in NEW condition ! illustrated in soft colours. ISBN 9783869307091.‎

‎For a new monograph, Private, Kuhn's fifth publication for Steidl, the photographer focused her gaze on the bleached tones and broad expanses of light that bathe the Mojave Desert, a few hours drive from her Los Angeles home. In a series of thoughtful and intimate compositions, Kuhn catalogs flora and fauna, most of it coarse-grained and engineered for survival. Landscapes are windswept and invite introspection. Hard light falls on no-nonsense structures that are built to last. Punctuated throughout these pages are female nudes, bathed in the same supple light and shadow, their faces mostly serene. As in previous series by Kuhn, the artist employs glass as a secondary lens and means of filtration and dissolution of identity, shooting her subjects from outside of structures, allowing their features to soften and meld with the reflections of the surrounding terrain. The sequencing of the images in Private is expertly tuned to tease out the complex relationship between the vulnerability of the nude female form and the rugged natural context which Kuhn employs as a backdrop. Kuhn's models are mostly supine, the softness of their luminous skin a foil and a complement to the jagged, indomitable geology of the landscape in which they find themselves. Against this backdrop, the self is by turns magnified and diminished into a dreamy, sensual phenomenology.--Kevin Greenberg "The Last Magazine "‎

‎Pieter Cornelis (Piet) Mondriaan (Amersfoort, 7 maart 1872 ? New York, 1 februari 1944) was een Nederlandse kunstschilder en kunsttheoreticus, die op latere leeftijd in het buitenland woonde en werkte. Mondriaan wordt algemeen gezien als een pionier van de abstracte en non-figuratieve kunst. Vooral zijn latere geometrisch-abstracte werk, met de kenmerkende horizontale en verticale zwarte lijnen en primaire kleuren, is wereldberoemd en dient als inspiratiebron voor vele architecten en ontwerpers van toegepaste kunst. Hij was een van de belangrijkste medewerkers van het tijdschrift De Stijl en ontwikkelde een eigen kunsttheorie, die hij nieuwe beelding of neoplasticisme noemde. Hij is in het buitenland beter bekend als Mondrian, een wijziging die hij zelf invoerde nadat hij in Parijs was gaan wonen. In 1908 werd hij lid van de Theosofische Vereniging.‎

‎Philosophical Psychology in Late-Medieval Commentaries on Peter Lombard's Sentences. Acts of the XIVth Annual Colloquium of the Société Internationale pour l'Étude de la Philosophie Médiévale, Radboud Universiteit, 28-30 October 2009‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xxii + 445 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589091.‎

‎Summary The proceedings of the SIEPM Colloquium at Nijmegen published in this volume bring together new evidence for how the corpus of late-medieval commentaries on the Sentences, especially from the second half of the fourteenth century, contributed to the development of philosophical psychology within the discipline of theology. The relation among the faculties of the soul, the limits of knowledge, hylomorphism and the union of soul and body, intuitive and abstractive cognition, the immortality of the soul, the experience of the beatific vision, divine foreknowledge and the knowability of species are some of the topics involving psychological issues that are examined in this volume. The wealth of new information presented in this volume results from the interpretation of previously unexplored sources. The essays in this volume demonstrate that the various parts and Books of Peter Lombard's Sentences, the standard textbook of theology in the Middle Ages, provided lecturers and commentators with a variety of loci for the discussion of philosophical topics, from the principia (Denys of Montina), the Prologue (Alfonsus Vargas of Toledo, Hugolino of Orvieto, John Regis, Francis Toti of Perugia), Book I (Gregory of Rimini, John of Mirecourt, Pierre Ceffons, Hugolino of Orvieto, Pierre d'Ailly, Peter of Candia, the Vienna Group, John Capreolus, Henry of Gorkum, Denys the Carthusian), Book II (Pierre Ceffons, Peter of Candia, Guillaume de Vaurouillon, Gabriel Biel, Denys the Carthusian), and Book III (Heymericus de Campo). This diversity, within large works on theology conceived broadly, constitutes a tradition parallel to that found in commentaries on Aristotle's De anima in the late Middle Ages.

‎Summary The Philosopher, the Master of Those Who Know, was the dominant pagan authority in all four of the main traditions of medieval philosophy: Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. Yet we now know that a number of works attributed to Aristotle were in fact spurious, authored by others who claimed to be, or whom others claimed to be, the Stagirite, for example, the Secretum secretorum, the Liber de causis, De mundo, De proprietatibus elementorum, De pomo, and De plantis. These writings strongly impacted medieval thought in various and fascinating ways, both in the original language, be it Arabic, Greek, Hebrew or Latin, and in translation. The mechanisms of their production, dissemination, and translation are themselves worthy of attention. Many of these works spawned commentary traditions of their own, parallel to those involving the classic texts of Peripatetic philosophy. Apparent contradictions between ideas expressed in these treatises and those found in what we consider to be authentic works, for instance ideas that appeared to derive more from the Academy than from the Lyceum, provoked questions about authenticity and about the possible evolution of Aristotle's thought. Finally, these texts were employed in one way or another in many genres of philosophical literature in the Middle Ages, including metaphysics, natural and moral philosophy, theology, and even more exotic disciplines like chiromancy and alchemy. This volume aims to shed new light on various aspects of the history of Pseudo-Aristotelian texts in the Middle Ages.

‎Principia on the Sentences of Peter Lombard. Exploring an Uncharted Scholastic Philosophical Genre Across Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 1204 pages, Illustrations:1 b/w, 25 tables b/w., Language(s):English, French, Latin. ISBN 9782503612089.‎

‎Summary Principia were an obligatory step on the medieval university path to becoming a master of theology. As inaugural lectures on the four books of the Sentences of Peter Lombard, they provided the first opportunity for a scholastic to defend a philosophical-theological worldview. These lectures were also a way for the theologian, now a sententiarius, to present himself and to make a name for himself, initially by delivering in a speech an introduction to the course and by debating with his fellows. The present book takes a collective approach to offer a survey of the evolution of the genre, mapping the dissemination of this exercise during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries across Europe. As an academic exercise, principia bridge ideas, texts, authors, and institutions across time. Exploring the corpus of surviving principia illuminates the philosophical creativity cultivated in the faculties of theology. The papers in these volumes thus not only discuss the structural aspects of principia, but also treat the philosophical and theological ideas defended and attacked during the principial debates and the topics and imagery used in the speeches. The various chapters delve into the surviving material in a common attempt, firstly, to assemble pieces of evidence from Paris and Oxford into an image portraying how, when, and by whom the principia were performed in the first European universities. The second part illustrates the spread of the genre to the new faculties of theology in Central Europe and Italy, with case studies from Bologna, Cracow, Florence, Heidelberg, Prague, and Vienna, highlighting the pan-European diffusion of the practice.

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, xi + 697 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:15 col., Language(s):English, French, Latin. ISBN 9782503601021.‎

‎Summary Henry of Rheinfelden, a Dominican from Basel, spent the last decade of the fourteenth century at the University of Vienna studying theology. During this time he took notes on the academic activities of the first rectors of the university and deans of the Faculties of Arts and Theology. This volume explores Rheinfelden's contribution to our understanding of the doctrinal, curricular, administrative, and prosopographical history of the early University of Vienna. Deciphering Rheinfelden's surviving notebooks in the Universitätsbibliothek Basel sheds new light on the rise of an academic elite in Vienna. His manuscripts reveal a network of scholars sharing a passion for knowledge and supply a gallery of intellectual profiles, starting with the mentors of the group, Henry of Langenstein and Henry Totting of Oyta, and continuing with the lesser-known figures Stephen of Enzersdorf, Gerhard Vischpekch of Osnabrück, Paul (Fabri) of Geldern, Andreas of Langenstein, Rutger Dole of Roermond, Nicholas of Hönhartzkirchen, Nicholas of Dinkelsbühl, John Berwart of Villingen, John Stadel of Russbach, Peter de Treysa, Michael Suchenschatz of Hausleiten, Peter Schad of Walse, Thomas of Cleves, and Leonhard of Dorffen. The papers gathered in this volume highlight the intricate relationship between a commitment to administrative duty and an appetite for the creation of a doctrinal tradition via debating, forging arguments, defending and attacking positions, commenting on authorities, and adopting and adapting academic practices imported from Paris, since the majority of the authors in our gallery were educated in Paris and built their careers in Vienna. Through Rheinfelden's notebooks, this volume provides access to unique and previously unknown texts that together offer a new image of the medieval University of Vienna.

‎Kijk als een kunstenaar Van theedoek tot terpentine: hoe schildertechnieken en materialen de kunstgeschiedenis beïnvloeden‎

‎Kijk als een kunstenaar Van theedoek tot terpentine: hoe schildertechnieken en materialen de kunstgeschiedenis beïnvloeden Monica de Ruiter vertelt over beroemde Nederlandse schilderijen en hoe ze gemaakt zijn ? een verfrissende en inspirerende invalshoek om naar schilderkunst te kijken en erover te praten Als je naar een schilderij kijkt, vraag je je vast ook wel eens af hoe het gemaakt werd. Het is een vraag die Monica de Ruiter vaak krijgt wanneer ze rondleidingen geeft in het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Maar over het algemeen vind je in de gangbare kunstboeken opvallend weinig antwoorden op die vraag. Daarom is Kijk als een kunstenaar niet zomaar een boek over kunst; het laat zien welke uitdagingen kunstenaars tegenkomen bij het maken van een werk, welke stappen ze moeten zetten en welke beslissingen ze moeten nemen. De Ruiter laat via onderzoek en gesprekken met schilders en restauratoren oude en nieuwe meesters aan het woord over hoe ze werken en waarom precies op die manier. De betekenis van een werk, zo blijkt, hangt nauw samen met de techniek. Zo laat De Ruiter zien hoe het gebruik van de verf in de loop der eeuwen veranderde. In de middeleeuwen is het fijnschilderen in zwang, Rembrandt smeert zijn verf al dikker en bij Van Gogh liggen de verfklodders, en daarmee de directe emotie, op het doek. Over Van Gogh gesproken: door de uitvinding van de tube kon hij buiten in de natuur schilderen. Zijn voorgangers moesten hun verf ter plekke maken van pigmentpoeder, die natuurlijk bij elk zuchtje wind zou wegwaaien. Ze bleven dus in hun studio. Kortom: zonder tube geen Van Gogh. Onze oude en nieuwe schilderijen (en hun makers) zitten vol dergelijke verrassende verhalen die ons de kunstgeschiedenis op een andere en bijzondere manier vertellen. Zo wordt naar kunst kijken nog leuker.‎

‎With an ironic and brazen look, Lisette Model was able to capture in her shots the most grotesque aspects of postwar American society. Published on the occasion of the first Italian anthological exhibition dedicated to her, the volume retraces the successful work of Lisette Model, an artist of Austrian origin who had great importance in the development of photography in the Fifties and Sixties. Parallel to her teaching activity - she had among her students authors who later became famous such as Diane Arbus and Larry Fink - Lisette Model was an ironic and irreverent photographer, able to capture in her shots the most grotesque aspects of post-war American society. Alongside the most famous series - such as Promenade des Anglais, created in Nice, or the photographs dedicated to New Yorkers or the very suggestive ones made in jazz clubs - the book also proposes lesser-known projects, which account for her personal and sardonic photographic language. The close-up shots, the recurring use of the flash, the exasperated contrasts are the expedients that the author resorts to in order to accentuate the imperfections of the bodies and the coarse gestures of her subjects, transformed into the characters of a sneering human comedy: an approach to reality which made Lisette Model the forerunner of a way of using photography that would find full realization only in the following decades.‎
