Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470-1535/36) Making, Meaning and Patronage of his Works
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback,Pages: 160 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm Illustrations:10 b/w, 105 col.Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503574370.
The book by Anna Koopstra about Jean Bellegambe adds an extremely careful, thorough, and beautifully produced study to the monographs on early Dutch painters. (...) More traditional art historical research?iconographic, stylistic, archival, and historiographic?is combined with modern technical research and a keen eye for drawings and graphics as visual sources for the artist. (?) The beautifully produced and clearly written book represents excellent and versatile art historical research that, through in-depth analysis of a small group of characteristic artworks, offers a new perspective on an important artist, his work and methods, as well as the impact of that distinctive body of work." Drs. Lidewij de Koekkoek (VNK, Frans Hals Museum) - Jury President - 2023 Karel van Manderprijs BIO Anna Koopstra (1980) studied art history at the University of Groningen (MA, 2004) and obtained her doctorate from the Courtauld Institute of Art (PhD, 2016). She has held curatorial positions and research fellowships at the Suermondt-Ludwig Museum (2005-08), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Slifka interdisciplinary Fellow, 2008-10), The National Gallery (2015-17), and the Courtauld (Associate Caroline Villers Research Fellow, 2016/17). Her research focuses on the technical investigation of paintings, and in particular on the making and meaning of early Netherlandish paintings. SUMMARY Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470- 1535/36), whose career as far as we know spanned the first three decades of the sixteenth century, was a successful painter. His patrons included some of the most high-ranking clerics in the Habsburg-Burgundian Netherlands as well as members of the ruling class of Douai, the town where he lived and worked all his life. This is the first study to appear since Dehaisnes' 1890 monograph that is exclusively devoted to the artist. By reassessing primary evidence - archival documents and material evidence from the works of art themselves - it aims to highlight Bellegambe's artistic achievements. Close scrutiny of his paintings and investigation of the artist's working methods will show that Bellegambe visualised the concerns of his patrons by closely linking the physical characteristics of his works to their original imagery, function and use. This volume presents a series of five case studies of his works that were made for a monastic community, two individual clerics, a town hall and a bourgeois layman, thus providing rich evidence of patronage and audiences. The objective here is to examine how Bellegambe met the challenges posed by these commissions, and to gain further insight into the practice of a skilled artist who - rooted in a long line of craftsmanship and artistic tradition and in close collaboration with his colleagues and patrons - produced a body of highly original works.

Tributes to Maryan W. Ainsworth Collaborative Spirit: Essays on Northern European Art, 1350?1650
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, Pages: 346 pages, Size:210 x 275 mm Illustrations:250 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9781912554751.
This volume honors Maryan W. Ainsworth, curator emerita at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and former adjunct professor at Barnard College, whose work as a scholar, curator, and teacher has profoundly impacted the study of early northern European painting. Contributions by leading specialists from museums and academia, including former interns and fellows, reflect Ainsworth?s emphasis on the centrality of the object and on the interdisciplinary methods of technical art history, while also paying homage to the variety of Ainsworth?s research interests as a whole. The essays explore topics such as the working methods of individual artists, workshop practice, artistic collaboration, and patronage across a range of media?mainly painting, but also manuscript illumination, drawing, tapestry, sculpture, and stained glass.

Bronze Coins of Eastern Mount Ossa in the Thessalian Perioikic Region of Magnesia. Homolion, Eureai, Eurymenai, and Meliboia
, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xxviii + 232 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:226 b/w, 7 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9780897223959.
Summary This monograph examines the Late Classical and Hellenistic bronze coinages of five mints in the Thessalian perioikic region of Magnesia. At the core of this work lies a new die-study of the coins produced by the strategically and economically important coastal cities of Homolion and Meliboia as well as the lesser-known mints of Eureai, Eurymenai, and Rhizous. Combining this die-study with a close examination of the cities' topographical context in a border region between Thessaly and Macedon and drawing on archaeological data from Magnesia and beyond, the monograph addresses key questions concerning the chronology, denominations, and circulation patterns of the bronze issues minted on eastern Mount Ossa. This analysis not only throws new light on coin production in Late Classical and Hellenistic Magnesia, but also allows a discussion of the possible military and non-military functions of the region's different bronze issues. Placing the coins of Eureai, Eurymenai, Homolion, Meliboia, and Rhizous in their wider context, this monograph furthermore addresses broader issues in the history of Thessalian coinage. In particular, the monograph's regional approach offers an unusual opportunity to examine to what extent Thessaly's Late Classical and Hellenistic civic coins were genuinely local in design, production, and function. The monograph thus both explores the coins of Mount Ossa and contributes towards a better understanding of the introduction and development of bronze coinages in the wider Thessalian region and beyond.

Collective Wisdom. Collecting in the Early Modern Academy
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 325 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:51 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503588063.
Summary This volume analyses how and why members of scholarly societies such as the Royal Society, the Society of Antiquaries of London, and the Leopoldina collected specimens of the natural world, art, and archaeology in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These scholarly societies, founded before knowledge became subspecialised, had many common members. We focus upon how their exploration of natural philosophy, antiquarianism, and medicine were reflected in collecting practice, the organisation of specimens and how knowledge was classified and disseminated. The overall shift from curiosity cabinets with objects playfully crossing the domains of art and nature, to their well-ordered Enlightenment museums is well known. Collective Wisdom analyses the process through which this transformation occurred, and the role of members of these academies in developing new techniques of classifying and organising objects and new uses of these objects for experimental and pedagogical purposes.

Imagining the Miraculous: Miraculous Images of the Virgin Mary in French Illuminated Manuscripts, ca. 1250-ca. 1450
, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xvii + 194 pages, Size:205 x 255 mm, Illustrations:94 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442154.
Summary This is not a book about miraculous images of the Virgin Mary (be they icons, sculptures, altarpieces, or reliquaries) but about their representations in French illuminated manuscripts from ca. 1250 to ca. 1450. Most of these depictions of the Virgin Mary cannot be identified even tangentially with particular surviving images (such as the Virgins of Rocamadour, Soissons, Chartres, and Laon). Rather, these illustrations point to the ubiquity of local miraculous Marian images in devotional practices from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century in French-speaking regions. This book analyzes depictions of material images and the animated miracles they perform, and traces their evolution from the earliest narratives of Marian miracles written in Old French to texts and images produced at the Burgundian court of the late Middle Ages. Beginning with the most extensive compilation of Gautier de Coinci's Miracles de Nostre Dame, the study then examines lesser-known anonymous works such as the Vie des P res and encyclopedic collections including the French version of Vincent of Beauvais' Speculum historiale and the Ci nous dit, as well as a theatrical production of the Miracles de Nostre Dame par personnages, before concluding with the prose rendering of the Miracles by Jean Mi lot. Imagining the Miraculous explores the ways in which these works depict physical images, such as panel paintings and sculptures, on the manuscript page. Each chapter provides a detailed iconographical analysis of the miniatures and the diverse techniques of visual narrative they harness, serving also to show how attentive reading of their reception can help us understand how the miniatures themselves might have led viewers to imagine the miraculous moment when an image comes to life.
FRANS HALS : Oog in oog met Rembrandt, Rubens en Titiaan
, Nai010 Uitgevers/Publishers 2013, 2013 Softcover, 160 pagina's, Nederlands, 285 x 235 mm, boek in prima staat, met veel illustraties in kleur, . ISBN 9789462080522.
2013 is uitgeroepen tot Frans Hals Jaar. Het is dan precies 100 jaar geleden dat het Frans Hals Museum zijn deuren opende. De belangrijkste tentoonstelling in dit jubileumjaar is 'Frans Hals. Oog in oog met Rembrandt, Rubens en Titiaan', waarin sleutelstukken van Frans Hals worden gepresenteerd te midden van schilderijen van beroemde collega's onder wie Titiaan, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Jordaens en Rubens. In de gelijknamige publicatie worden alle werken uit de tentoonstelling zij aan zij gepresenteerd, zodat de lezer de meesterwerken kan vergelijken en kan zien hoe de kunstenaars elkaar inspireerden. Deze bijzondere confrontaties van meesterschilders zijn essentieel om zeventiende-eeuwse kunst te begrijpen. Beroemde schilders maakten hun werken immers vaak in reactie op elkaar, met de bedoeling de ander te overtreffen en iets bijzonders neer te zetten. Internationale specialisten werpen een nieuw licht op Hals' virtuositeit, zijn rol in de zeventiende eeuw en zijn artistieke relatie met zijn collega's uit Antwerpen (Rubens, Van Dyck) en Amsterdam (Rembrandt).
Architectures of Belonging Inhabiting Worlds in Rural West Africa
, BAI, paperback, 240 pages, ill. 24,6 x 17,1 x 2 cm English text. fine condition. ISBN 9789085865902.
What is a house? What is dwelling? How can a house be a body? What does ''being modern'' mean in rural Africa? How are local and global worlds intertwined through material culture? This book reflects on the meanings of housing in West Africa by analysing vernacular architectural traditions and the related ideas and worldviews grounding these building traditions. In the West, much attention is paid to the quality of housing in terms of material comfort and durability. However, houses no longer grow organically, and are no longer layered by time, or embedded in a social community and intertwined with the natural environment. The house, and even more the interior of the house, has become an expression of the individuality of the inhabitant (witness the whole marketing of lifestyle, design, interior decoration, cocooning, etcetera). Paradoxically, though, this goes hand in hand with the erosion of the house as a signifier. Houses are becoming almost generic realities, without a memory or a past, the anonymous results of mass-production, or the interchangeable, standardized products of a globalised Ikea and turnkey culture. Many of the important phases of the lifecycles of the inhabitants no longer unfold within the house, but are evacuated to spaces external to it (hospitals, restaurants, hotels, party rooms, funeral homes, banquet halls). In contrast to the poor signifier that the Western house has become, the chapters in this book analyse the rich meanings embedded in the processes of dwelling in rural West African worlds, with a specific emphasis on Ghana and Burkina Faso. At the same time, the authors document the changes that are manifest in the material and social structures of these houses, and show the flexibility and responsiveness of traditional practices of building and dwelling when confronted with the influences of urban modernity. As such, this reflection on local architectural forms also deals with many of the challenges and issues currently facing Africa.

Kati Heck.
, Kannibaal, 2016 Gebonden, Hardcover. 29 x 24,7 cm,144 bladzijden, Quadrichromie,Tweetalige editie Nederlands-Frans . ISBN 9789492081544.
Kati Heck wordt beschouwd als een erfgename van het Duitse expressionisme. Haar werk doet denken aan de bars, dansers en acteurs van Otto Dix en George Grosz, net als aan de oude meesters. Ze synthetiseert stijlen en is net zo goed een abstracte expressionist als een realist. Delen van haar schilderijen zijn minutieus weergegeven op gestikte doeken, met een unieke virtuositeit en acute aandacht voor detail, terwijl andere delen abstracter weergegeven of zelfs gebeeldhouwd worden. De manier waarop ze niet-traditionele materialen en alledaagse objecten in innovatieve en eigenzinnige combinaties verwerkt, herinnert aan Robert Rauschenberg. Hecks portretten belichamen een diepe, overtuigende en sociale visie, en zijn tegelijk ondoorgrondelijk persoonlijk. De weergegeven onderwerpen zijn meer dan enkel acteurs, het zijn meestal zelfportretten en personen uit haar directe omgeving. Haar werk werd onlangs geexposeerd in CAC Malaga en Mary Boone Gallery New York, en wordt de komende maanden getoond in Expo Chicago en het Antwerpse M HKA. Met tekstbijdragen van onder meer Ann Demeester (Frans Hals Museum/De Hallen Haarlem) en wijlen Jan Hoet, een verhaal door Woody Allen en een gesprek met Luc Tuymans.

, Hatje Cantz, 2016 Hardcover. 29 x 24,7 cm,144 pages , Quadrichromie, Text in English / German *New book! ISBN 9783775741316.
German Expressionism and New Objectivity shine forth in the paintings by Kati Heck (*1979 in D sseldorf). Her monumental paintings impress viewers with their humorous blend of styles, consisting of photorealistic figures together with graphic elements. Some sections of the collage-like works are meticulously painted in, while others are quickly executed. Like Robert Rauschenberg, Heck joins nontraditional materials and everyday objects to develop highly unusual pictorial creations. ?She clearly, convincingly, and permanently questions the art of painting,? says Jan Hoet about her oeuvre. The volume on Kati Heck focuses primarily on the painting of one of the most interesting aspiring artists of today.

Leon Spilliaert from the Depths of the Soul.
, ludion, 2019 Hardback, 290 x 250 mm, 336 pages, 400 illustrations. English edition. **VERY FINE condition !. ISBN 9789491819902.
Rooted in the Symbolist tradition of the fin-de-siecle and drawn to the avant-garde, Leon Spilliaert (1881-1946), was a loner who never occupied a clear place in the art of his time. He shared not only his home port of Ostend with James Ensor, but also his sense of mockery and irony, non-conformity and an urge to view the world differently. Spilliaert, however, created a spiritual visual language of his own, experimenting with pastels and gouache, playing with purified expanses of colour and elegant lines. The moonlit sea, solitary, vacantly gazing figures, beaches stripped of all human presence, empty rooms and stylized, backlit silhouettes - Spilliaert invariably evoked an atmosphere of mystery, magic and alienation in line and colour. Anne Adriaens-Pannier, former curator at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels, has been working on the catalogue raisonne of his oeuvre since 1995 at the Spilliaert family's request. She pays tribute to the artist with this beautifully illustrated book, in which she describes his drawings and paintings, as well as referring to his book illustrations and lithographs. The author presents Spilliaert as a link between the major art movements in the fascinating era in which he lived and worked. A unique book about an exceptional artist.

L ON SPILLIAERT. DE DROOM VAN ANDEREN
, Van de Wiele, hardcover, 290 x 215 mm, 240 pagina's, throughout illustrations NL edition. ISBN 9789076297712.
Bij de meeste kunstliefhebbers zijn ze vrijwel onbekend: de illustraties van L on Spilliaert (1881-1946) in uitgaven van het werk van Belgische schrijvers als Emile Verhaeren, Maurice Maeterlinck, Franz Hellens, Paul Neuhuys en vele anderen. Spilliaert illustreerde hun dichtbundels en theaterstukken, en zelfs een kinderboek, met tekeningen in Oost-Indische inkt en aquarelverf, of liet zijn inspiratie de vrije loop bij het visualiseren van de droomwereld van de auteurs. Dit rijke deelgebied van zijn kunst wordt door Spilliaertspecialiste Anne Adriaens-Pannier eindelijk voor het publiek ontsloten. Dit boek begeleidt de tentoonstelling De droom van anderen in Het Spilliaert Huis in Oostende (van 19 november 2017 t.e.m. 2 april 2018), waar de uitgaven met originele tekeningen of gedrukte illustraties en aanverwante autonome werken samen te zien zijn. De stukken, uit openbare en particuliere collecties, bieden voor het eerst, en waarschijnlijk eenmalig, een volledig beeld van Spilliaerts literair ge nspireerde creaties.

L ON SPILLIAERT : Dwalen door de stilte
, Snoeck Publishers (Belgium), HB, 260 x 215 mm, 48 pages, 30 Kleurenillustraties Nieuw NL edition. ISBN 9789461618948.
In de werken van L on Spilliaert (Oostende 1881-Brussel 1946) schuilt achter de beelden een mysterie dat fascineert. Steeds terugkerende motieven in zijn tekeningen zijn de eenzaamheid van de mens en de onmetelijkheid van de zee. Spilliaert gaat op zoek naar de ziel van voorwerpen uit zijn dagelijks leven en van plaatsen in zijn geboortestad Oostende. Uit zijn aangrijpende zelfportretten spreekt een huiver die door het afdalen in zijn diepste zelf teweeg wordt gebracht. Zijn werken geven blijk van een op reflectie en spirituele meditatie gerichte geest en getuigen van een verlangen om de symbolen van tijdloosheid van de natuur te doorgronden. Deze tentoonstelling presenteert eenentwintig werken die nauw aansluiten bij Spilliaerts artistieke zoeken en die rechtstreeks uit het familiebezit komen.

L ON SPILLIAERT : Wandering through Silence
, Snoeck Publishers, 2024 HB, 260 x 215 mm, 48 pages, 30 illustration color. ENG edition. ISBN 9789461618962.
The works of Spilliaert (Ostend 1881-Brussels 1946) fascinate for the mystery of their images. His drawings explore the solitude of human beings and of the sea's immensity. He evokes the life of various locations around his hometown of Ostend, and of objects drawn from his everyday life. His striking self-portraits translate the anguished plumbing of his deepest depths. His creations reflect a spirit of reflection and spiritual meditation, which he exercises by surveying the symbols of nature's timelessness. This exhibition presents twentyone works, intimately revealing his searches and studies, and directly provided by his family. The publication of a catalogue, in three languages, accompanying the exhibition provides an overview of the history of the discovery of Spilliaert's oeuvre in Belgium and abroad, and situates his body of work within a wider context of the art of his time. It presents a unique interview with his grandson, as well as brief chapters retracing the singular artistic contributions of the presented works. With texts by (the Spilliaert specialist) Anne Adriaens-Pannier, Edouard Derom and Jeffery Howe, as well as an interview with Spilliaert's grandson, Johan van Rossum.
Guy Leclercq : recente werken 2006-2017
, Lannoo 2018, 2018 Hardcover, 160 pagina's, NL/FR, 305 x 250 x 20 mm, in prima staat, illustr. in kleur ISBN 9789401449335.
Schuwde Guy Leclercq zich aanvankelijk niet om aan zijn schilderijen een narratieve inhoud toe te kennen, vaak met citaten ontleend aan tribale culturen en symbolen uit de etnografie, vanaf 1990 is daarvan nog weinig van te merken. In zijn meest recente creaties beperkt de kunstenaar zich vaak tot een geometrisch ge nspireerd vormenarsenaal, dat doorgaans wordt ondersteund door een rudimentair kleurenpalet van zwarte, grijze en witte tonen. De compositievlakken zijn geenszins egaal maar opgebouwd met onderlagen waardoor ze licht gaan vibreren.

L on Spilliaert: Lumi re et solitude (Mus e d'Orsay & Grand Palais) aantalIn winkelwagen L on Spilliaert is considered to be one of the most important Belgian painters, alongside R. Magritte, J. Ensor, P. Delvaux?. However, he is less well known? A man of disquieting solitudes and infinite perspectives, Spilliaert (1881-1946) surprised and disconcerted by unclassifiable works, inventing a singular symbolism of the inner night. Spilliaert was born in Oostende. His night walks in the deserted city were a source of inspiration for his work. He is almost entirely self-taught. It is influenced by the artistic currents of the end of the century: symbolism and expressionism. Spilliaert is an explorer of the unconscious and existential anxieties at a time when the human sciences are advancing in their understanding of the psyche. He is passionate about Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Chateaubriand and Lautr amont. The catalogue focuses on the years 1896 to 1919, the most intense years in the artist?s career, and presents his most radical works. Exhibition from October 13, 2020 to January 10, 2021 at the Mus e d?Orsay. IN FRENCH!
