‎Antiquarian Book Trade in Switzerland Sir Thomas Phillipps's Acquisitions in the 1820s and their Later Dispersal‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 430 p., 216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 7 col., 3 tables b/w, .Language(s):English *New . ISBN 9782503616209.‎

‎In 1822?1823, the obsessive British collector Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792?1872) spent a year in Switzerland planning to reduce his spending on books. Yet, by the time he returned to England, he had bought some 850 manuscripts and printed volumes. The historical context of these acquisitions offers a unique case study of the workings of the Swiss market in rare books in the first half of the nineteenth century. The Antiquarian Book Trade in Switzerland shows how this market was organised, how booksellers gathered and sold their stock, what kinds of books were available for sale, and the repercussions of Phillipps?s purchases on the formation of libraries in the twentieth century. Combining archival research, the survey of sale and library catalogues, and the material analysis of books, this monograph argues that the Swiss book trade was a thriving business led by professional and amateur dealers who sold rare and modern volumes in shops, private houses, and religious institutions. Phillipps?s motives for obtaining these items (and those of the owners who bought them after his death) also indicate that books were acquired for their aesthetic quality and prestige, historical and literary research, and political purposes. Illustrating the changing values assigned to books, this study demonstrates how many of these volumes became treasures of the world?s cultural heritage.‎

‎KEES VAN DONGEN De Weg Naar Succes‎

‎, Waanders Uitgevers, 2023 HB, 280 x 230 mm, 192 pagina's, 125 Kleurenillustraties , NL edition nieuw. ISBN 9789462624597.‎

‎Hoe lukt het de jonge kunstenaar Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) om door te breken in Parijs en in korte tijd uit te groeien tot n van de meest beroemde kunstenaars van de twintigste eeuw? Deze vraag staat centraal in dit boek. Van Dongen behoorde tot de voorhoede van Nederlandse kunstenaars die rond 1900 vernieuwing zochten in Parijs. Daar omarmde hij de avant-garde en in 1905 nodigde Picasso hem uit om in atelier Le Bateau-Lavoir, in Montmartre, een ruimte te betrekken. In deze omgeving ontwikkelde hij zich tot schilder van figuur en vernieuwer door kleur en toets. Dit boek toont hoogtepunten en sleutelstukken uit het oeuvre van Van Dongen: in totaal 75 schilderijen en 30 tekeningen. De focus ligt op de periode die zou leiden tot de wereldfaam van Kees van Dongen.‎

‎Honderd jaar na zijn geboorte eert Museum Prinsenhof Delft de internationaal gerenommeerde Delftse kunstenaar Bram Bogart (1921-2012) met een overzichtstentoonstelling en een boek. Bogart is als abstract expressionistisch materieschilder, de grondlegger van de Nederlandse informele schilderkunst en inspiratiebron voor Delftse kunstenaars als Jan Schoonhoven en Jan Henderikse. Bogarts eigenzinnige oeuvre is in de publicatie kleurrijk verbeeld en verwoord. Van zijn vroege figuratieve stillevens en landschappen tot zijn late abstracte werk waarin hij op steeds groter formaat gaat werken en de verf zwaarder, dikker en bonter van kleur wordt. Een persoonlijk interview met zoon Bram van den Boogaart jr. en foto's uit het priv archief van de familie, geven een uniek en intiem kijkje in de wereld van deze schilder van formaat..‎

‎Daniel Colin, expostition Boycott art Gallery,‎

‎Bruxelles, Boycott gallery, 1991 cartonnage illustre de l'editeur, 332 pages Illustrated.couleur.‎

‎Daniel Colin was born in 1963 and was primarily influenced creatively by the 1980s growing up. The 1980s were a tumultuous period culturally, and were marked by growing global capitalism, global mass media, significant discrepancies in wealth, alongside a distinctive sense of music and fashion, epitomised by electronic pop music and hip hop. Artists growing up during this time were heavily influenced by this cultural atmosphere. The 1980s were a significant decade politically, marked by the African Famine and the end of the Cold War, which was signified by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Neo Geo and The Pictures Generation became leading art movements during the decade, alongside Neo-Expressionism which became well-known in Germany, France and Italy (where it was known as Transavanguardia). Artists such as Anselm Kiefer, J rg Immendorf, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente and Julian Schnabel were leading artists of the era, alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, who established the street art and graffiti movements.‎

‎Summary Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), descendant of a wealthy and well-known family of bankers, inherited quite young, through a series of unpredictable circumstances, the enormous fortune of Thomas Coutts, her maternal grand-father. She spent most of her long life in London, where she occupied a prominent position in society, becoming well-known not only for her splendid life-style and her important literary and political acquaintances, as, for instance, Charles Dickens and Admiral Nelson, but also for her active role as a philanthropist. This book explores a little-known side of her life; although she did not know Greek, she became the owner of ca. 100 Greek manuscripts, mostly theological, datable between the tenth and the sixteenth century, a part of which she donated to Highgate School. The manuscripts, with all the Baroness's possessions, were dispersed at auction in 1921 and in 1987 and are now mainly divided between American and European University Libraries. This book has identified for the first time the Baroness's Greek manuscripts, located and described them in detail, with special attention to their script style and their origin, adding to their description one or two plates of each codex.

‎From Gypsy to Bohemian: A Study of the Musical Rhapsody‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xxii + 247 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 13 musical examples, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594873.‎

‎Summary This volume examines the concept of rhapsody through a broad lens. Beginning with a discussion of the meaning(s) of the term itself, it then traces the history and reception of the genre and its significance in European culture. It argues for a close relationship between the idea of rhapsody and the concept of Gypsiness by demonstrating that 'rhapsody' and 'Gypsiness' can be seen as manifestations of the same types of influence and preferences for certain aesthetic categories. The book pays special attention to the seminal role of Franz Liszt in its discussion of the instrumental rhapsody. Ultimately, it reveals the consequences of historiographical representations of the rhapsody (e.g. the ossification of the image of the European Gypsy musician as a bard/rhapsode, the fossilization of presumptions concerning the nature of so-called 'Gypsies') as well as unexpected similarities and differences between the rhapsody and the ballad as romantic genres with national implications.
