‎Summary Scribes played complex, often overlooked roles in the production of hand-written texts across Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. Some scribes simply copied the exemplar; other scribes participated with authors and decorators in establishing the mise-en-page and overall appearance of a text. Many decisions needed to be made regarding the selection of text script; the style of rubrication, display scripts, and initials; the placement and execution of potentially elaborate illuminated images. What was the role of the scribe in contributing to the decision-making process or in determining the final format and material appearance of a document, scroll or codex? This volume explores many of the choices that a single scribe or groups of scribes would need to make when writing and presenting a text, whether in a monastic, cathedral or lay setting. The articles in the volume range from case studies of a single artifact to the analysis of multiple copies and versions of a particular text. The authors include eminent specialists in the field of manuscript studies as well as mid- and early career scholars.

De schilder laat zich inspireren door de vormentaal van dans, televisie, films en billboards. Hij is een belangrijk wegbereider voor de pop art en wordt gezien als n van de belangrijkste Amerikaanse kunstschilders van de 20ste eeuw.

He has been painting American culture and modern society for nearly eight decades. Like no other, Katz knows how to capture the 'immediate now', as he calls it. The painter is inspired by the formal language of dance, television, films and billboards. He is an important pioneer of pop art and is regarded as one of the most important American painters of the 20th century. His work is praised for its unique style and technique and can be seen in museums all over the world - and until October 1, 2023 in Voorlinden.‎

‎The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a living encyclopedia of world art. Cultures from every part of the world - from Florence to Thebes, from Pennsylvania to Papua, New Guinea - from the ancient world to the present, and in every medium, are represented, frequently at the highest levels of quality. This book presents over 250 of the finest masterpieces in the Metropolitan's collection, drawn from more than three million works in eighteen different curatorial departments. Some of these splendid objects, such as the Temple of Dendur, Botticelli's Annunciation, Rembrandt's Aristotle with a Bust of Homer, and Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware, are very famous; others, including a rare Chinese scroll, a drawing by Michelangelo, and an ornate Turkish sword, are less well known. All are remarkable and unique. The works have been arranged in a generally chronological order by culture, beginning with ancient Egypt and ending with the twentieth century in Europe and America. Each reproduction is accompanied by a text that includes pertinent information about the work.‎

‎Monastic Performance - The Mystic Contract - The Ecstatic Recording Jan Fabre in St Augustine's Church in Antwerp‎

‎, mercaterfonds - fondsmercator, 2018 Softcover, 124 pages ill. 24,1 x 17 x 1,1 cm. ISBN 9789462302433.‎

‎As part of the city-wide 'Antwerp Baroque 2018' festival, artist Jan Fabre has been invited to create three new altarpieces for Antwerp's Church of St Augustine, now the home of the international cultural and music centre AMUZ. In fulfilling this prestigious commission Fabre is following in the illustrious footsteps of Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens and Anthony van Dyck, who were asked to produce an altarpiece each in 1628. This handsomely illustrated book brings to life the origin, history and richness of these works of art in all their subtlety. Fabre's extraordinary triptych, The Monastic Performance, The Mystic Contract and The Ecstatic Recording is truly breathtaking. Specially conceived, the works form an apotheosis of core elements from his oeuvre, including the lamb, fire, woman, spirituality, and his love of Antwerp, represented by the diamond motif. In this sumptuous Mercatorfonds publication, Barbara De Coninck, Joanna De Vos, Jenke Van den Akkerveken and Els Wuyts take an investigative trip through the iconography and meaning of the individual altarpieces. Starting from Fabre's preparatory collage drawings we follow the construction and metamorphosis of the mosaics. Paul Huvenne's connective essay makes a detailed comparison between Fabre's contemporary interpretations and the Baroque originals, with reference to the particular history of St Augustine's Church. And Joost Vander Auwera discovers surprising parallels between Fabre, Jordaens and Van Dyck.‎

‎Armed with pencil, eraser and breaker knife, FabArmed with pencil, eraser and breaker knife, Fabrice Souvereyns ( 1995 Tongeren) creates a detailed world from intense observations and perceptions. Souvereyns's young oeuvre draws inspiration from the physical world, from fauna and flora and from what is visible to humankind in the skies. In addition, more 'invisible' themes also play a substantial role in the work. The influence of, for example, science cannot be denied, while art history also serves as inspiration for the artist's eccentric plant world. Vegetal scenes in art reflect how humans relate to subjects such as nature, religion, philosophy or science at the time. Souvereyns makes use of this frame of reference but also leaves room for his personal formal language. As a result, a certain universality and restraint always hangs around his drawings: although they are based on centuries-old natural landscapes, we cannot exactly find them in reality. The line between reality and the (sub)consciousness blurs. While working, he is guided by spontaneity yet the drawings are not simply the result of automatism. Each movement, whether adding or omitting, leaves a unique trace, and is a deliberate choice by the artist. Posture Editions N 50 brings together these diverse landscapes, making the book function as the young artist's first survey work. rice Souvereyns ( 1995 Tongeren) creates a detailed world from intense observations and perceptions.

‎Marrakech is much more than a thousand-year-old city with a rich and eventful past. For Marrakech has an incomparable aura and, above all, a unique atmosphere that offers a real delight to the senses. What particularly characterizes the city is the pungent scent of spices rising from the souk. And the hurly-burly of people pressing their way through the streets and alleys of the medina, seemingly imprisoned between the walls of clay and straw, which are the colour of the setting sun and have given Marrakech the sonorous nickname 'El Hamra', the Red City. In El Hamra people gladly cast aside all kinds of rules and conventions, and the city receives with open arms all those who do not shirk a challenge and are prepared to share its beauty with others: architects, interior decorators and designers, or the inspired individual who for a shorter or longer period can call himself 'Marrakechi' - resident of Marrakech - and make a long-cherished, personal dream come true. Those who fall for the magical charm of Marrakech find a neglected riad or abandoned palace, and have the courage to rescue it from the ravages of time. They reinvest the buildings with their former glory and in so doing rediscover long-forgotten materials and methods. It is partly thanks to these committed people that we have been able to evoke in this book, using both text and images, the enchanting character of Marrakech. ‎

‎Summary As the forerunners to the Paris Opera, the Acad mie d'op ras (1669-1672) and the Acad mie royale de musique (1672-1791) inspired first historical then aesthetic research, research that appeared very steadily through the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, researchers and performers alike began to change their perspective on the institution and its legacy, shifting away from the Acad mie's image as a tool used in the propaganda machine and towards a focus on aspects of performance practice. However, despite the scale and diversity of the current body of scholarship, many facets of the Acad mie royale de musique remain unexplored. It was first and foremost a cultural institution, one that developed its own identity and savoir-faire, some aspects of which still need to be uncovered. ? This study aims to reconsider the institution from a new angle, thanks to an interdisciplinary approach and three sustained motivations: questioning the institution's very nature, as well as its place and status in the French academic network; highlighting practical, logistical, and material questions as yet unexplored; and reevaluating not only its interactions with other theaters in Paris, at court, and in the provinces, but also the ways its repertoire spread in general. For once, poets and composers are not the main subject. We choose to concentrate instead on those who helped the pieces to exist and to come to life: directors and administrators, performers, teachers, and craftsmen. The papers focus on their hierarchical relationships, their decision-making authority, and their respective responsibilities, in order to better understand all that the fashioning of operas entails. Le d veloppement de l'op ra en France est intrins quement li l'histoire de l'Acad mie royale de musique de Paris?: le genre et l'institution naissent et voluent en parall le, se nourrissant l'un de l'autre. L'institution en tant que telle reste cependant moins tudi e?: son administration, son mod le conomique, sa gestion des carri res et des comp tences, son personnel (artistes, artisans, ma tres de chant et de danse, employ s), ses fournisseurs, son organisation quotidienne, l'interaction entre les corps de m tier qui la composent (et notamment la notion de responsabilit , de droit ou de fait, incombant chacun), son volution dans le temps, la diffusion de son r pertoire et de son image fournissent autant de pistes explorer. Ces aspects sont d terminants pour comprendre la nature de l'institution, mais aussi celle de son r pertoire. la diff rence des autres acad mies tablies par Louis XIV, l'Acad mie royale de musique est en effet avant tout une entreprise culturelle, qui ?fabrique du spectacle? avec des contraintes de production, de rentabilit et d'attractivit . Unique th tre de r pertoire en Europe l' poque, elle entretient des forces artistiques permanentes (orchestre, ballet, troupe) et g re des fonds consid rables (musique, d cors, costumes). Le succ s public d pend tout autant de la qualit du spectacle et de l'interpr tation que de la valeur intrins que du po me et de la musique. Ce fonctionnement particulier place l'?uvre au croisement de multiples consid rations pragmatiques, dont l' tude permet de r valuer le geste cr ateur et la notion d'?uvre elle-m me. C'est ce que le CMBV a souhait mettre en valeur dans un ouvrage collectif interdisciplinaire.‎
