‎Aujourd'hui m connu, Am d e de La Patelli re (1890-1932) est une des figures marquantes de l'art fran ais de l'entre-deux guerres. Son oeuvre s' labore sur peine dix ann es. Durant cette courte p riode, il r alise plus de neuf cents tableaux et tudes et s'impose comme l'un des peintres majeurs de sa g n ration, aux c t s d'Andr Dunoyer de Segonzac, Yves Alix, Henry de Waroquier ou Andr Favory. Ces artistes sont marqu s par le r alisme qui est alors la tendance pr dominante dans l'art fran ais. Ils refusent l'acad misme et ont int gr le souci d'ordre et de construction du cubisme. Ils ne forment pas un groupe homog ne mais tous s'affirment comme des ind pendants. Dans cette floraison d'individualit s, La Patelli re occupe une place singuli re. Homme d'une profonde spiritualit , son esth tique est faite de "la coexistence d' l ments contraires - mais non contradictoires" o se m lent ainsi soucis de construction et lyrisme, onirisme et ancrage dans le r el, attachement la figure de Delacroix et attention port e Picasso et Matisse... L'objectif de La Patelli re est de "transposer la nature par des moyens plastiques pour la situer dans un plan spirituel". Refusant tout esprit de syst me, il a d velopp une oeuvre qui se laisse difficilement enfermer dans une cat gorie tant elle appara t vari e dans ses th mes, sa forme et ses ambitions. L'ouvrage Am d e de La Patelli re, Les clats de l'ombre accompagne l'exposition organis e par les mus es de Roubaix, Bergues, Nantes et Beauvais et explore l'ensemble des facettes de cette production foisonnante. Des oeuvres r alis es durant la Premi re Guerre, aux premi res r ussites ancr es dans un r alisme onirique jusqu'aux derniers tableaux, au lyrisme exacerb .‎

‎Abraham and Rol‎

‎, Norma,Editions 2017, 2017 Hardcover, 176 pages, English, 305 x 235 mm, new book, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9782915542905.‎

‎It is a rare species, but it exists, as '60s art critic Pascal Renous pointed out on the subject of artistic couples. This designer-decorator duo of Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol met at Jacques Dumond's studio in 1955. The couple shares the same love of precision, line and plain colours. Their earliest joint creations were first exhibited at the Salon des artistes decorateurs, in Paris. Their furniture, made of wicker, wood and aluminium, twice won prizes at the Salon des artistes decorateurs (a sideboard in 1956 and an armchair in 1958), garnering notice from the public and professionals alike. Jean Royere did not hesitate to use their emblematic Soleil armchair (gold medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair) in the decoration of the palace of the Shah of Iran, in Teheran. Their light and functional designs are available today, re-edited by Yota Design. Abraham & Rol were also interior designers and intervened in this capacity for both individual clients and large corporate clients, such as Yves Rocher and Saint-Gobain, with the same precision and sense of composition that define their furniture pieces. Finally, the couple also expressed their creativity through architecture, their mastery of this discipline enabling them to design some twenty houses from the 1960s through the 2000s in the Ile-de-France region. Their homes are genuine inhabited sculptures, of which certain have become truly emblematic.‎

‎L'oeuvre des freres Cloutier occupe une place singuliere dans la ceramique francaise de la seconde moitie du xxe siecle. Tout a la fois fascinante et deroutante, la production des jumeaux, s?appuyant sur une grande maitrise des savoir-faire, acquise notamment chez Pol Chambost ou Georges Jouve, mele depuis l?ouverture de leur atelier en 1955 necessite interieure, impertinence et humour.

‎Original Man : The Tautz Compendium of Less Ordinary Gentlemen ‎

‎, Die Gestalten Verlag 2014, 2014 Hardcover, 240 pages, English, 265 x 220 mm, in fine condition, . ISBN 9783899555523.‎

‎Celebrating style, individuality, and joie de vivre, this book showcases 80 original men who will inspire readers to lead a less ordinary life. Original Man is a compendium of the stories of extraordinary men. From household names including Andy Warhol, Freddie Mercury, and Yves Saint-Laurent to lesser-known personalities, the 80 men presented here are incredibly diverse, yet all share entirely original lives. Featuring famous hell-raisers such as Iggy Pop, indomitable explorers including Ernest Shackleton, visionaries like Federico Fellini, and some less mainstream personalities such as Quentin Crisp or Takeshi Kitano, these biographies are as gripping as any fiction. This book is the brainchild of UK men's fashion maven Patrick Grant. As set about re-awakening the traditional Saile Row tailoring house of E. Tautz after a thirty-year slumber, he wanted to define the kind of man he aspired to clothe. Original Man is the compelling result of his musings--a collection of portraits of men who go beyond a veneer of stylish attire to wring every last drop out of life with their actions, thoughs, or words in a manner scarcely seen nowadays. These are not the biographies of those the world considers to be the best writers, thinkers, or adventurers (though undoubtedly some arguably are). Rather, this book celebrates those that have lived lives that are genuinely different. Whether in the life of a stylist, a libertine, an artist, or a hero, originality and historical precedence trumps prowess; the manner of their endeavors is what counts, not the end result. Reflecting Grant's personal background and experiences approximately half of the book's notable men come from the UK, a quarter from the US, and most of the remainder from Western Europe. Explaining his strong British bias, Grant states ''we seem to breed original characters (or celebrate them more vocally) at a rate which belies our relatively small population.'' Because a claim to inclusion requires sustained effort, not just a brief burst of activity, few of the men featured in Original Man are young. Some, such as Malcolm X and Ayrton Senna, died young, but had a lasting impact. The book also contains a few men well known for their hedonistic lifestyles such as Ozzy Osbourne and Oliver Reed, but it does not celebrate those who simply fritter their lives away at play unless it is done with the greatest sense of style. Often their tales are rather sad ones, like that of snooker player Alex Higgins, and are included in the hope that they are as precautionary as they are laudatory. Aware that there do not seem to be many equivalents to these stories today, Grant wishes to share these portraits to inspire readers--men and women alike--to try to live more interesting and original lives themselves.‎

‎Jusepe de Ribera (Valencian: 1591 ? 1652) was a Spanish painter and printmaker. Ribera, Francisco de Zurbar n, Bartolom Esteban Murillo, and the singular Diego Vel zquez, are regarded as the major artists of Spanish Baroque painting. Referring to a series of Ribera exhibitions held in the late 20th century, Philippe de Montebello wrote "If Ribera's status as the undisputed protagonist of Neapolitan painting had ever been in doubt, it was no longer. Indeed, to many it seemed that Ribera emerged from these exhibitions as not simply the greatest Neapolitan artist of his age but one of the outstanding European masters of the seventeenth century."[1]:?vii p.? Jusepe de Ribera has also been referred to as Jos de Ribera, Josep de Ribera, and Lo Spagnoletto ("the Little Spaniard") by his contemporaries, early historians, and biographers.‎

‎Kesling Modern Structures Popularizing Modern Design in Southern California 1934-1962‎

‎, Balcony Press, ISBN 9781890449131.‎

‎Practically unknown today, William Kesling and his design/build firm, Kesling Modern Structures, played an important role in the development and acceptance of modern architecture in Southern California. For one year, beginning in November 1935, William Kesling was by far Los Angeles's most prolific and successful practitioner of Streamline Moderne design, breaking ground on more than 20 projects. His better-known peers, Schindler, Neutra, and other modernists could not so easily desert the principles of economy and austerity. The unschooled Kesling was not bound by such dogma but nevertheless was driven by the noble goal of bringing high-quality modern design within easy reach of the everyday home-buying public. Today his houses and small-apartment buildings are considered collectors items for Los Angeles's cognoscenti and while many have been ruthlessly remodelled, many others are being carefully restored to their original elegance. This is an exploration of Kesling's work. Kesling was one of Julius Shulman's first clients, and the images in this volume were taken with Shulman's first vest-pocket camera.‎

‎Naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling "Fragile" kwam dit gelijknamige kunstenaarsboek tot stand. Met deze expo richt PARCUM de aandacht volledig op Van Caeckenberghs Horebeekse periode (1997-2017). In 1997 vestigde de kunstenaar zich met zijn gezin in dit piepkleine dorpje in de Vlaamse Ardennen. De verhuis van de voortrazende maatschappij naar deze voortkabbelende microkosmos betekende de ontdekking van een nieuwe wereld. In het huldeboek ?Groeten uit St. Kornelis Horebeke? schrijft Van Caeckenbergh dat hij er in een schatkamer aan beelden en verhalen belandde, "onzichtbaar op het eerste gezicht, maar oh! zo teer in zijn bestaan". Dit nieuwe boek geeft toegang tot een verstilde wereld waarin de sprakeloze verwondering bewaard is gebleven. Hoogst fragiel.‎
