‎Illustration is no longer just illustration. Today, illustrators write and create children's picture books and graphic novels; they structure information through infographics; they design logos, fonts, and other typographical applications; they contribute to the editorial design of newspapers and magazines; they apply their talents to advertising and fashion; and they develop and produce their own products on the basis of their creations. Despite the fact that all of these activities are based on illustration, each of them has its own rules and its own specialists, tasks, and job descriptions to go along with them.‎

‎Daily Life on the Istrian Frontier. Living on a Borderland in the Sixteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardcover with dusjacket, VIII+232 p., 6 b/w ill., 2 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English . ISBN 9782503551869.‎

‎The Istrian peninsula, located at the head of the Adriatic Sea, has long been a land of divisions. Shared today between the modern-day countries of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, the region during the sixteenth century was divided between an urban coastline dominated by the Republic of Venice and a rural inland that fell under the sway of the Austrian Habsburgs. The subject populations of the peninsula - predominantly Slavic Croatians and Slovenians - thus found themselves split between these rival powers, despite their shared cultural background. The result was frequent and violent clashes over boundary markers, pastures, and forests, which, added to the ravages of war, famine, and plague, led to a severe regional depopulation. This volume also explores the arrival and subsequent social impact of a new wave of immigrants to Istria set against the backdrop of these sixteenth-century tensions. The fearsome Morlaks, Slavic speakers who had fled north from the Balkan hinterlands in the face of the Ottoman threat, were invited into Istria by both Venetians and Habsburgs as a way of replenishing the dwindling population. These new arrivals lived an opportunistic lifestyle that often bordered on banditry, creating inevitable tensions with Istria?s existing population. Even so, some were able to integrate fully into their new homeland. Through a careful analysis of the geographically small, but socially and politically dynamic Istrian frontier, this volume sheds new light on to the complexity of life in a border region, and offers a unique insight into what life was like for ordinary people struggling to live everyday lives at the very end of the Middle Ages. Robert Kurelic received his PhD in Medieval Studies from the Central European University in Budapest. He teaches medieval history at the "Juraj Dobrila" University in Pula, Croatia.‎

‎MARCEL DUCHAMP.‎

‎, Koenig Verlag, 2022 hardcover+booklet + slipcase, 330 x 250 mm, 254 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9783906915517.‎

‎Marcel Duchamp, the artist's first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonné, was written by art historian and novelist Robert Lebel and published in French in 1959; later that same year, it was translated into English by George Heard Hamilton for Grove Press. The book was a cooperation between Lebel and Duchamp, and beyond Lebel's extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roché and André Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamp's artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artist's life and inner circle. For the first time since its release more than 60 years ago, this landmark publication is back in circulation with Hauser & Wirth Publishers' meticulous facsimile of the English edition, reflecting everything from its hand-tipped images to its recto-verso dust jacket appearing as close to the original as possible. Fully authorized by artist Jean-Jacques Lebel--Robert Lebel's son--and the Association Marcel Duchamp, the facsimile is accompanied by a supplement volume of essays and archival material that tells the story of Duchamp and Lebel's close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a sea change in the artist's receptivity to critical interpretation. The supplement includes texts by both Robert and Jean-Jacques Lebel and a newly discovered note by Man Ray, among a bevy of photographs from the Lebel and Duchamp archives, extending the story presented in the 1959 edition. Robert Lebel's analysis of Duchamp's oeuvre remains fresh to this day, as does the book's design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimated Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial-design firm fluid, who recast the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as it was in the original. To achieve a near-exact facsimile, fluid consulted with paper conservators and printers to recreate the book with modern materials that match those available in 1959. This precise production quality assures that today's readers will experience this historic book as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel intended.‎

‎Voici rassemblés pour la première fois tous les articles de Rob Mallet-Stevens écrits entre sa sortie de l'École Spéciale d'Architecture à Paris en 1906 et le début de la guerre, fin juillet 1914. Le jeune architecte commence par écrire dans une revue anglaise, puis dans des publications belges, françaises et autrichiennes. Ses premiers articles sont des reportages sur des édifices parisiens et des comptes rendus des salons d'art. Puis, il s'attache à l'architecture traditionnelle japonaise et à l'art théâtral et à son évolution jusqu'aux créations d'avant-garde des Ballets russes et du Théâtre des Arts de Jacques Rouché. La maison-palais de sa tante, Suzanne Stevens-Stoclet, édifiée de 1905 à 1911, à Bruxelles sur les plans de l'architecte autrichien Josef Hoffmann avec la collaboration de Gustav Klimt et de la Wiener Werkstätte, l'introduit dans l'univers de la Sécession dont il devient le prosélyte. Mais bientôt les rumeurs de guerre l'incitent à prendre ses distances avec ce qu'on appelle en France « le goût munichois ». Il apprécie alors les lignes simples du style Directoire et ses couleurs vives. Ses articles dans Comoedia illustré le font entrer dans le cercle de la mode où il côtoie des créateurs illustres dont certains deviendront ses clients : Jeanne Paquin, Jacques Doucet, Paul Poiret... À travers ses écrits de jeunesse on découvre un plumitif prolixe, cosmopolite et doté d'un oeil critique dans la lignée de ses illustres ascendants, les frères Stevens et sa grand-mère l'écrivain Jeanne Thilda dont le salon parisien a marqué les lettres françaises.‎

‎The theme of flowers is woven throughout Robert Mapplethorpe's oeuvre, coming to signify some of his deepest concerns as an artist. The photographs in "Flowers" range from images of the early 1980s to many taken in the months just before his death. The latter, in particular, are astounding in their intensity; here one finds both erotic drama and absolute clarity of composition - Mapplethorpe's gift at its most bold and uncompromising. Only a fraction of Robert Mapplethorpe's color flowers have been published or exhibited. This book, exquisitely designed and produced, is destined to become a crucial part of his legacy.‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 321 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:9 b/w, 14 col., 27 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, 19 musical examples, Language: English. ISBN 9782503597027.‎

‎Summary Hobrecht and His Singers frames the life of the illustrious composer Jacob Hobrecht (Obrecht) within a single institution, the Church of St. Donatian in Bruges. As a collective biography of the musicians at an important collegiate church in the late fifteenth century, the book will be of interest to readers of ecclesiastical, social, and urban history. Hobrecht twice served as succentor, or master of the choirboys, and twice was forced to leave the city?the first time in the wake of a devastating civil war, the second time in disgrace. The monograph focuses on the social and economic realities for the succentors and polyphonic singers, the Companions of Music, who worked closely together on a daily basis, during the years 1485-1505. Thick description provides a more comprehensive context for the lives of Jacob Hobrecht and seven musicians whose biographies are recounted here for the first time. Conflicts between the singers and the collegiate church to which they were pledged, driven in part by their emerging professional status circa 1500, helped lead to different career trajectories, in one case ending in tragedy. Numerous new documents add uncommon detail, both quotidian and dramatic, to the career of Hobrecht, necessitating original interpretations. Seven representative compositions written during his two periods in Bruges?both Masses and motets?demonstrate the kinds of work he undertook as succentor and the occasions for which he composed them, poised at the intersection of church and urban culture.

‎Na de veroveringen van Caesar drukten de Romeinen een onuitwisbare stempel op het gebied dat nu België en Nederland vormt. Ze organiseerden het bestuur, legden wegen aan, stichtten steden die uitgroeiden tot bakens van Romeinse cultuur en ontwikkelden deze uithoek - met zijn vruchtbare gronden, economische centra en een onmisbaar reservoir aan soldaten - tot een sleutelregio van het West-Romeinse Rijk. Toch had de Romeinse overheersing ook een donkere keerzijde. De verwoestende Gallische oorlogen en opstanden kostten duizenden mensen het leven. De daaropvolgende Pax Romana bracht dan wel welvaart, maar was ook gebaseerd op een gewapende vrede. Finaal luidde een nietsontziende machtsstrijd tussen brute keizers, troonpretendenten en lokale krijgsheren het einde van het Romeinse gezag in het westen in. Al te lang bleven de Lage Landen in de periferie van het Romeinse Rijk. Door onze streken resoluut naar het middelpunt van de aandacht te schuiven, schrijft Robert Nouwen niet alleen het definitieve boek over het leven aan de noordgrens van het Imperium. Hij werpt tegelijk een verrassend nieuw licht op de geschiedenis van het oude Rome zelf.‎

‎Homo, Natura, Mundus: Human Beings and Their Relationships. Proceedings of the XIV International Congress of the Société Internationale pour l'Étude de la Philosophie Médiévale‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xlv + 979 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 1 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, German, Spanish. ISBN 9782503592633.‎

‎Summary The present volumes contain a number of studies first presented at the XIV International Congress of the Société Internationale pour l'Étude de la Philosophie Médiévale, July 24-28, 2017, Porto Alegre, Brazil - which happened to be the first SIEPM Congress in Latin America and the first in the Southern Hemisphere. In 65 essays on current research questions in Latin, Jewish, and Arabic Philosophy, and Early Modern Scholasticism, the contributors explore the general theme of "Homo - Natura - Mundus: Human Beings and their Relationships," and lead us to new perspectives. These essays relate to the following areas of interest: the human being's self-understanding as a rational creature in multiple relationships (with God, the other, the community, the fellow and the different); the human being's place in the natural world and the possibility of relating to nature through knowledge; medieval philosophical traditions and the challenges introduced by the "discovery" of the "New World" (dominium, war, hierarchies, and new areas of concern with respect to justice, the human good, and the law). Thus, these volumes offer a unique sample of scholarly studies that work with the idea of "relationships" in two distinct, but not opposing, directions. Firstly, they explore the ways in which human beings, according to the reach of their soul's powers, construct their self-understanding and existence in relation to God, themselves, others and the natural world. Secondly, they explore the ways in which the philosophical bases for the understanding of these relationships were challenged by the transportation of medieval ideas to the "New World" and by the reception of these ideas in early modern times.

‎Music and the Figurative Arts in the Nineteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols 2020, 2020 Hardcover, .xiv + 527 p., 0 b/w ill., 20 col. ills 210 x 270 mm , English, ISBN 9782503589510.‎

‎This book explores the relationship between music and the figurative arts in the XIX century. In 1795 Friedrich Schiller wrote: «Die bildende Kunst in ihrer höchsten Vollendung muss Musik werden und uns durch unmittelbare sinnliche Gegenwart rühren» (Schiller, Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen, Letter XXII, 1795). This sentence underlines the fundamental aesthetic change that coincided at the onset of the nineteenth century. According to «ut musica pictura», music becomes the model for an art able to express and communicate feelings. Even as music no longer necessarily has to embody order, so does painting move away from pure imitation to encompass emotional affect. Music and painting thus converge in embodying a sensual conception of the arts: music is capable of expressing emotions and arousing them in the audience; painting can do the same through visual perception. The present volume, which brings together 21 essays, focuses on encounters between composers and painters, but also on the relationship between music, literature and the figurative arts, as well as on the concurrence of musical and artistic aesthetics. Sections of the book are devoted to iconography, to the relationship with the theatrical arts (in particular the scenic aspect) and in one instance, to Franz Liszt. ROBERTO ILLIANO is General Secretary of the Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini (Lucca) and President of the Italian National Edition of Muzio Clementi?s Complete Works. He is also a member of the scholarly committee of the Italian National Edition of Luigi Boccherini?s Complete Works. A founder of the journal «Ad Parnassum», he has published a variety of writings on 19th- and 20th-century music, in particular on Luigi Dallapiccola and Italian music under Italian fascism.‎

‎Summary This volume addresses multiple facets of the artistic expression of a live performance, with a particular focus on the technical issues, people, and institutions related to it. Dance, musical theatre, mime, puppetry, and other performing arts are investigated through the lens of their various components, as well as their protagonists ? impresarios, companies, designers, conductors and directors.
