‎MODERNISEREN EN CONFORMEREN. BIOGRAFIE VAN EEN TWEELUIK : DE KAPELLEKENSBAAN EN ZOMER TE TER - MUREN VAN LOUIS PAUL BOON.‎

‎Nijmegen, Vantilt, 2000 Paperback, originele kartonnen uitgeversomslag, 21.1x12.9 cm., 303 pp. ISBN 9075697066.‎

‎ In Moderniseren en conformeren vertelt Boon-kenner Jos Muyres het verhaal van de twee belangrijkste Vlaamse naoorlogse romans, De Kapellekensbaan en Zomer te Ter-Muren. Minutieus, maar zeer toegankelijk, brengt hij de spannende ontstaansgeschiedenis van dit tweeluik in beeld. In het tweede deel komt Muyres tot een vernuftige nieuwe interpretatie van beide werken. Daarbij staat centraal dat ze allebei over het schrijven van romans gaan, dat zij dus handelen over hun eigen ontstaan. De Kapellekensbaan en Zomer te Ter-Muren, concludeert Muyres, zijn modernistische romans, maar in tal van opzichten kunnen ze ?? onder andere vanwege de problematische relatie tussen literatuur en werkelijkheid ?? ook als postmodernistisch worden beschouwd.‎

‎Ottoman Silk Textiles of the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, 146 pages., 16 colour ill., ills., 297 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503511863.‎

‎The aim of this catalogue is to publish the 43 Ottoman textiles which are preserved in the Royal Museums of Art and History. Except two for which we are nor sure, these specimens were woven in the major metropolitan weaving centres of the Ottoman Empire namely Bursa, Istanbul and their environs. All date from the period between the late 15th to the early 19th century. Two types of weaves are represented. Firstly the velvets of which the collection counts 25 examples, one of them being an important catma, probably the earliest preserved in the world. Follow the kemha or lampas fabrics, of which we preserve 16 specimens, 6 of them bearing inscriptions, the others decorated with various patterns. The third main type of Ottoman weaves, the seraser or cloth of gold and silver, rare in Western collections, is not represented here. Finally, the collection contains two silks in a distinctive weave, an extended tabby, of which one is a military banner. Although these fall slightly out of the otherwise homogeneous group, they where not excluded from this study because certainly produced within the Ottoman realm. This publication puts on record a status quaestionis of the knowledge we gathered the last ten years on the account of this group of silks and to place it at the disposal of other museum curators and researchers. Since the scrutiny of the weaving technology and of the natural dye analyses can lead to a better understanding of the silk industry and offers at the same time concrete elements to delimit groups of textiles and of -who knows in the future- workshops or production centres, special focus is laid on these aspects.

‎Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna: Transformations and Memory,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Paperback, 343 p., 82 b/w ill. + 16 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503541150.‎

‎The provincial town of Ravenna in Northern Italy is famous for its Early Christian cultural heritage: churches and chapels, decorated with mosaics, which seem to have survived in their original state. However, these religious buildings, with famous examples like San Vitale, Sant'Apollinare in Classe and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, underwent many changes in the course of fifteen centuries of continuous use. This study takes the transformations of the monuments of Ravenna as a starting point to explore the city's attitude towards its religious cultural heritage throughout the centuries. Together with the local historiographical sources, dating from Medieval and the Early Modern times, they provide a picture of the manner in which Ravenna experienced, appropriated and imagined its past. The findings are elaborated in seven chapters, addressing respectively the cult of saints; the relationship with Rome and with Constantinople; the alleged controversy between Orthodoxy and Arianism; the post-Tridentine period; the lost monuments and the restorations at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. By considering Early Christian Ravenna from the context of cultural memory, involving both material and written sources, new insights are yielded on a frequently researched subject. New.‎

‎Otto Pacht. Venetian Painting in the Fifteenth Century. Jacopo, Gentile and Giovanni Bellini and Andrea Mantegna‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2004 paperback, 260 p., 219 b/w ill. 41 colour ill., 210 x 280 mm English. ISBN 9781872501239.‎

‎Otto Pacht, one of the most significant art-historians of the ?Vienna School?, and well known for his analyses of Early Netherlandish art, turns his attention in this publication to the humanist circle of Early Renaissance painters in Venice, dominated by Jacopo Bellini, his sons Gentile and Giovanni, and also his son-in-law Andrea Mantegna. It was a period of newly awakened interest in the Antique, of studies made directly from nature, and of trial and error in the technique of perspective. And in addition, a new awareness of the role of light and colour in the devotional and often monumental images of the Madonna, of altarpieces and of allegories contributed to the founding of what we now recognise as the hall-mark of Venetian painting, that culminated with Titian. Of the Bellini family, it has been Giovanni who was generally regarded as the major figure of the dynasty. Pacht, however, devotes particular attention to Jacopo?s work, interpreting it as the basis for his sons? later development. He analyses Jacopo?s London and Paris Sketchbook drawings, demonstrating where Late Gothic elements can be seen to be overtaken by the need to give perspective depth to the image, and how subsequent painting took account of these changes. This is also the essence of Pacht?s examination of Mantegna?s work, where the construction of space and depth is the key to our understanding of Mantegna?s creative process. Turning to the next generation of the Bellini family, Pachts guides our eyes to appreciate the refinement and perception of Gentile?s portraits, and finally takes us step by step through the works of Giovanni, where fantasy combines with the play of colour and light in creating compositions, devotional images, and landscape settings of perfect harmony and beauty. !Winner of the Apollo Magazine Book of the Year 2003 Award!
