‎THE ART OF THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK : 700 Years of History and Design‎

‎, Thames and Hudson , 2022 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 300 x 235 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrations in colour and b/w. ISBN 9780500480694.‎

‎The story of the illustrated book from the earliest printed books to the present day, told through the collections of the V&A's National Art Library. Throughout history, images have been used to reflect the meaning of words and to enhance our understanding of texts. With the invention of mechanized printing in Germany in the 15th century, illustrated books were no longer the preserve of the elite and became a source of knowledge, instruction and pleasure for a wider audience. Traditional accounts of the illustrated book survey its history in terms of technological advances, from illumination to hand-drawn illustrations and photography. This study offers a new approach, grouping books by subject - from natural history and travel to art, architecture and fashion. Gathered here are some of the most influential and compelling examples of the illustrated book, all chosen from the collections of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Each chapter starts with a general introduction to the subject, followed by key examples accompanied by narrative captions. The commentaries range beyond the illustrations to consider the whole book, the design, typeface, binding, inks and papers. Many of the books are not on display to the public and have been specially photographed for this volume. Most examples have been chosen for their significance, being innovative and beautiful. But humble books, often overlooked in histories, have also been selected, when particularly effective in their field, or simply memorable. From beautiful printed Psalters and Books of Hours, to striking natural history books such as Audubon's Birds of America, La Fontaine's Fables illustrated by Marc Chagall, Serlio's treatise on architecture and Owen Jones's Grammar of Ornament, this book gives a fascinating overview of some of the finest illustrated books ever created. In the face of recent pronouncements about the death of the printed book, this volume demonstrates the enduring appeal of the illustrated book.‎

‎Rembrandt Studies ‎

‎, Princeton University Press, 1991 Paperback, 212 pages, ENG, 250 x 190 x 23 mm, in very good condition, 177 illustrations in b/w, . ISBN 9780691002828.‎

‎This richly illustrated collection of essays represents the fruit of a life-long occupation with Rembrandt on the part of one of the foremost authorities on Dutch and Flemish art. Concentrating on either a single painting or an iconographically related group of paintings, Julius S. Held examines the processes, some perhaps even unconscious, that underlie Rembrandt's highly personal works. To his previously published essays--"Aristotle," "The "Polish' Rider," "Juno," "Rembrandt and the Book of Tobit," and "Rembrandt: Truth and Legend"--the author adds an essay on the theme of the Beggar, another one on subjects involving words spoken, and a new introduction discussing some current trends in Rembrandt criticism.‎

‎PAINTER'S HOUSE : Marten Melsen 1870-1947‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers , 2022 PB, 300 x 240 mm, 96 p, 80 illustraties, EN-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9789461618344.‎

‎Marten Melsen De kunstschilder Marten Melsen (1870-1947) was van Brusselse afkomst maar woonde heel zijn leven in het landelijke Stabroek. Hij verbouwde er twee aansluitende woningen en kreeg er samen met zijn vrouw 4 kinderen. De twee ongehuwde dochters en n zoon bleven in het huis wonen en hielden het in de staat zoals het was. Aan het atelier van de kunstschilder werd ook na zijn dood niet meer geraakt. In 2002 werd het huis door de familie geschonken aan de vzw Stichting Marten Melsen. 'Het Vosseveld' blijkt een van de weinige nog geheel authentieke kunstenaarshuizen te zijn, samen met bijvoorbeeld het Lijsternest van Stijn Streuvels. Het huis is dringend aan behoud en restauratie toe. Het plan is er om er een museum van te maken. Dit voorjaar werd een dossier ingediend bij de Minister van Erfgoed en werd het huis volledig ge nventariseerd door Monumentenwacht Vlaanderen. Er is echter nog veel nodig en dit mooie fotoboek kan alvast extra aandacht brengen. Een huis met een ziel Karin Borghouts bezocht en fotografeerde het huis voor het eerst in 2017. Een kleine tentoonstelling daarvan was te zien in Galerie De Mijlpaal in Knokke in 2018 en een grote foto uit de reeks was het jaar daarop te zien op het Kunstenfestival Watou. In 2022 kreeg ze de kans om nog meer foto's te maken in het huis. De fotografe werd getroffen door de zeer mooie lichtinval, de kleuren, meubelen en objecten in het huis. Anderzijds deed de woning haar ook denken aan haar ouderlijk huis dat in de vlammen is opgegaan en waarin de verzameling antieke gebruiksvoorwerpen van haar moeder zwartgeblakerde stillevens opleverden, doordrongen van jeugdherinneringen en een verlangen naar een beschermende huiselijke omgeving. Waar Karin Borghouts zich vroeger eerder focuste op publieke ruimtes en gebouwen, zijn het nu vooral persoonlijke interieurs die haar aandacht vragen. Zij brengt ze met een bijzondere gevoeligheid en met een schilderkunstig oog in beeld.‎

‎ Danish Furniture Design in the XXth Century - 2 volumes. ‎

‎, Christian Eljers Forlag/Dansk Mobelkunst , 2007 Hardcover with dusjacket 2 volumes / slipcase; complet.223+ 327 pages, Illustrated. fine condition. ISBN 9787872412511.‎

‎Widely considered as the best assessment of modern Danish furniture available in English and are beautifully illustrated with historic photographs and new photographs of surviving pieces. Many of the photographs of some of the best pieces in museums and public buildings in Copenhagen appear to have been taken specifically for the book. Full-page photographs are set out facing reproductions of original presentation or technical drawings. Karlsen was an architect who worked with Mogens Koch, to whom the volumes are dedicated, and he approaches the subject through his hands-on experience as a furniture designer. The volumes provide a very readable and a very good broad chronological overview but what makes them invaluable is the addition of detailed and critical assessments of the most important and influential examples of chairs, tables and storage furniture produced through the century.‎
