‎Francis Picabia : Catalogue Raisonné Vol. III (1927-1939) English / Francais ‎

‎, Exhib Intern/ Mercator 2019, 2019 Hardcover, 424 pages, English/Francais, 305 x 260 mm, with illustrations, book in perfect order, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9789462302488.‎

‎This third in a planned four-volume catalogue raisonné of works by the French avant-garde artist Francis Picabia (1879-1953) includes paintings and selected drawings dating from mid-1927 through 1939. Innovative collage-paintings and flamboyant figural compositions known as "monsters" that dominated Picabia's output in the mid-1920s gave way, during 1927, to new artistic directions. The most important of these was an exploration of the concept of transparency in many forms, first through the addition of new elements to his own pre-existing works, then through the elaboration of tangled compositions, the so-called "transparencies," superimposing outlined figures, animals, plants, and other motifs of various origins. Picabia's characteristic refusal of consistency of style endured, however, and his production during the period also encompassed imposing representational compositions with firmly contoured and solidly colored forms, thickly painted topographical landscapes, curvilinear abstractions, and, toward the end, photo-based figural paintings foreshadowing his notorious painted nudes of the early 1940s.‎

‎Pascasius Justus Turcq: On Gambling‎

‎, LYSA Publishers, 2022 Hardcover, 284 pages, English & Latin , 240 x 170 mm, NEW, rounded spine, sewn, dust jacket, reading ribbon. ISBN 9789464447668.‎

‎Pascasius Justus Turcq was born in the Flemish town of Eeklo. As a young man, he travelled through Spain before devoting himself to the study of philosophy and medicine in Italy. On gaining his doctorate, he returned north and settled in Bergen-op-Zoom, where he worked as a physician and eventually became the city?s mayor. He attended to William the Silent as one of the physicians who worked to save the Prince?s life after the assassination attempt of 1582. Alongside tales of gambling princes and perceptive accounts of the mental suffering experienced by problem gamblers, Pascasius? De alea is remarkable for its singular insights into 16th-century medical science. Basing himself on the authority of the ancient, late-antique and mediaeval traditions, Pascasius first fuses discrete theoretical systems into an innovative framework, allowing him to propose a novel description of compulsive gambling as a psychological disorder. Secondly, Pascasius articulates a series of pioneering cures. He describes this therapy in cognitive terms reminiscent of approaches to non-substance addiction in use today. On Gambling was routinely referenced in scholarship on gambling into the 18th century before disappearing almost entirely from view. Newly available here, with a critical Latin text and English translation, On Gambling epitomises the creative potential of 16th-century medical humanism.‎

‎William Wegman : Polaroids‎

‎, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2005 Softcover, 232 pages, ENG, 250 x 220 x 20 mm, in Perfect condition!, coloured photographs about the most loyal best friend of man, with some folding pages. ISBN 9780810992429.‎

‎Man Ray, William Wegman's first Weimaraner, became a central figure in Wegman's photographs and videotapes, known in the art world and beyond for his endearing deadpan presence. In 1978, Wegman was invited by Polaroid Corporation to try out its mammoth 20 x 24" camera, and he began a series of photographs featuring Man Ray that were published in Abrams' Man's Best Friend. In 1986 a new dog, Fay Ray, came into Wegman's life and soon thereafter another famous collaboration began. After Man Ray died in 1982, Wegman continued his exploration of the medium with non-canine subjects, and he also began to work with the expanding universe of Fay Ray's progeny. Throughout the years, Wegman has maintained an extraordinary level of creativity, capturing his versatile subjects in a seemingly limitless variety of poses and guises. This book gathers together the best of his work - hundreds of unique, large-format photographs - with an insightful and candid essay by the artist exploring his experiences with the camera and his exceptional models. Though many of these images have become well known through exhibitions, books, and his best-selling calendars, some of the best had never been published when this book was originally‎

‎Tim Van Steenbergen (?°1977) studeert met grote onderscheiding af aan de Antwerpse Modeacademie. Hij wordt de eerste assistent van Olivier Theyskens, alvorens zelf faam te verwerven met zijn collecties die draaien rond uitgesproken vrouwelijke elegantie en algemene lichamelijkheid. Ondertussen is hij aan zijn achttiende collectie toe. Maar Van Steenbergens talenten beperken zich niet tot mode in de strikte zin. Hij ontwerpt kledij voor theater, opera en dans, o.a. voor internationale producties van Guy Cassiers en Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Met andere performances staat hij in het Groeningemuseum in Brugge, in het Louvre in Parijs en op de Biennale van Venetie. Hij ontwerpt juwelen, schoenen, jeans, tassen, uniformen (voor het Vlaams Parlement), zonnebrillen, Barbie-outfits en zoveel meer. Hij was artistiek directeur van modehuis Donaldson, en nu van Chine. Eerder verscheen over hem het boekje 'Le Petit Livre Blanc'. 'Act(e)' toont beelden van creaties van Tim Van Steenbergen zelf, aangevuld met een essay van modejournaliste Veerle Windels.‎

‎Jacquie Maria Wessels :GARAGE STILLS & FRINGE NATURE ‎

‎, Ludion , 2022 Hardcover, 176 pages, ENG, 310 x 235 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrations in colours and b/w. ISBN 9789493039841.‎

‎Artist Jacquie Maria Wessels (1959) studied photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and social psychology at the Free University. Her work is related to documentary photography and is usually the result of a long-term study of a specific subject. The work presented in this book arises when Wessels discovers the wonderful universe of traditional garages: she becomes fascinated by the shapes and colors of the mysterious and unknown objects she finds there. Wessels then travels the world to create poetic still lifes in exotic garages with her analog camera. At first glance, the interiors of garages in Cambodia, Cuba, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Russia, South Africa, Japan and Sri Lanka seem to contain the same elements, but small details - only visible to a patient and trained eye - pointing out cultural differences. Wessels then points her camera outwards, towards the immediate vicinity of the old garages. There she is struck by the nature that she finds in the rough, industrial landscapes on the outskirts of the cities. In some cases, rampant nature takes over from industry, overgrowing the garages that try to survive. The photographic result is picturesque images with a surprising color palette. At the same time, they testify to a disappearing, mainly male world that is gradually being supplanted by new, sterile technologies.‎
