‎Paul Gees ( 1943) neemt een bijzondere plaats in de Belgische kunstsc ne in. Sinds 1980 onderzoekt Gees in zijn werk de relatie natuur-cultuur. Zijn sculpturen belichamen bedacht samengestelde composities waarbij evenwicht, spanning en geraffineerd gevoel voor verhoudingen de boventoon voeren. Daarbij valt het weloverwogen gebruik van hout, metaal en gesteente sterk op. Metaal krijgt een constructieve en ruimte-omschrijvende betekenis, goed gedimensioneerd hout vormt een dynamische component en onbewerkte steen zorgt voor natuurlijke massa. Uit de confrontatie tussen deze traditionele materialen ontstaan spanningsvolle tegenstellingen in een breekbaar evenwicht: ?een hedendaagse alchimist, die energie ontlokt aan de materie? volgens kunstcriticus Eric Rinkhout.‎

‎Augustin ex g te et pr dicateur dans les Sermons sur Matthieu‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 722 pages, Size:165 x 250 mm, Language: French. ISBN 9782851213037.‎

‎Summary In his preaching, does Augustine of Hippo adapt his biblical commentaries and, if so, according to what criteria? To answer this question, this book studies the exegesis of some twenty sermons preached on the Gospel of Matthew. The first chapter places them in their historical, geographical, polemical and liturgical contexts. The following chapters investigate the patristic tradition and the Augustinian works in order to shed light on the specificity of the interpretations; the rhetorical dimension is also taken into account. Through their scriptural interpretations, these sermons assume the concrete situation of the audience and are inserted into the dynamics of the liturgy from which they receive the material for the commentary and the finality that guides it. Their exegesis is situated at the intersection between the Word of God which it extends and implements (chapters 2 to 4) and the responses it seeks to elicit from the listeners (chapters 5 to 7). This desire to edify the listeners, both personally and communally, while aiming at spiritual progress and orthopraxis rooted in the confessed truth, helps to enlighten the preacher's adaptation of the Sermons on Matthew. Dans sa pr dication, Augustin d'Hippone adapte-t-il ses commentaires bibliques et, si oui, selon quels crit res ? Pour r pondre cette question, cet ouvrage tudie l'ex g se d'une vingtaine de sermons pr ch s sur l' vangile de Matthieu. Un premier chapitre les replace dans leurs contextes d' nonciation, historiques, g ographiques, pol miques et liturgiques. Les chapitres suivants proc dent une enqu te dans la tradition patristique et dans l'oeuvre augustinienne pour, le cas ch ant, mettre en lumi re la sp cificit des interpr tations ; la dimension rh torique est aussi prise en compte. Ces sermons assument par leurs interpr tations scripturaires la situation concr te de l'assembl e et s'ins rent dans la dynamique de la liturgie dont ils re oivent la mati re du commentaire et la finalit qui l'oriente. Leur ex g se se situe l'intersection entre la Parole de Dieu qu'elle prolonge et met en oeuvre (chapitres 2 4) et les r ponses qu'elle cherche susciter de la part des auditeurs (chapitres 5 7). Cette volont d' difier les auditeurs, la fois personnellement et communautairement, en visant tout autant un progr s spirituel et une orthopraxie d coulant de la v rit confess e, contribue clairer l'adaptation du pr dicateur dans les Sermons sur Matthieu.

‎Sublime Truth and the Senses: Titian's Poesie for King Philip II of Spain‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, iv + 232 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:71 b/w, 77 col., Languages: English, Italian, Latin. ISBN 9781909400276.‎

‎Summary The paintings for Philip II, known as the Poesie, are among the most frequently discussed works of art that address a favored Renaissance theme, the influence of the pagan gods on human actions. The commission is traceable to 1549, when Emperor Charles V summoned the artist to Augsburg following Prince Philip's triumphal parade through the empire as his father's heir apparent. The cycle that took shape comprises Danae and Venus and Adonis (Madrid, Prado); Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Callisto (Edinburgh, National Gallery of Scotland); Perseus and Andromeda (London, Wallace Collection) and Europa (Boston, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum). These masterpieces of the artist's mature period can be considered the most important Renaissance grouping of mythological paintings executed by a single artist. The author proposes that Philip's expected elevation prompted the commission and that the subjects form a cohesive program of Hapsburg ethical views and political concerns, and that Titian created new visual idioms to represent the complex issues which the subjects address in part by engaging themes with a significant prior history in family patronage. While Titian's Poesie for Philip II are well known monuments of western culture, they have never before been investigated with this focus. The dispersal of the pictures' in the seventeenth century resulted in a scholarly focus on the single pictures and a concentration on their sensual aspects. In Aretino, a Venetian dialogue on painting, Titian's friend and apologist Lodovico Dolce is a spokesman for art that following poetry, entices through beauty, while hiding important truths beneath the veil of allegory. This study analyzes the ways in which Titian incorporates new concepts of sensuality and spirituality in a Venetian vernacular to create masterpieces whose originality and ravishing beauty belie their didactic content.‎

‎Jews and Muslims under the Fourth Lateran Council. Papers Commemorating the Octocentenary of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215)‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 280 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581514.‎

‎Summary The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) was groundbreaking for having introduced to medieval Europe a series of canons that sought to regulate encounters between Christians and Jews and Muslims. Its canon 68 demanded that Jews and Muslims wear distinguishing dress, in order to prevent Christians from entering into illicit sexual relations with them, restricted the movement of Jews in public spaces during Holy Week, and exhorted secular authorities to punish Jews who in any way "insult" or blaspheme against Christ himself. Other canons sought to exercise greater control over moneylending, to provide relief to Christian borrowers, to extract tithes from Jews who held Christian properties as pledges, and prohibited Jews from exercising power as public officials over Christians. The canons condemned converts who preserved elements from their former religion, promoted a fifth Crusade to the East, exempted Crusaders from taxes and from interest payments to Jewish moneylenders, restricted trade with Muslims or Saracens, and condemned Christians who provided arms or assistance to Saracens. The Council's canons affected the missionary efforts of the late medieval Church and its attempts to convert Jewish and Muslim minorities, and established essential guidance on minority relations not to be surpassed until Vatican II in the 1960s.

‎ Baga, Visions of Africa‎

‎, 5 Continents, 2019 softcover, 148 pages, 72 ills. 16,5 x 24 cm., test in English, *new. ISBN 9788874398201.‎

‎The Baga, along with the Nalu and the Landuma, are a small rice-growing community living along the coast of Guinea, in West Africa. They became famous following the discovery of their extraordinary sculptures by explorers, colonial administrators, ethnologists, collectors, and art dealers towards the end of the nineteenth century. Nowadays, the art of the Baga is admired in the public and private collections of northern European countries. Their works consist mainly of different types of wooden masks and statues of various sizes, as well as wonderful percussion instruments, chiefs' seats, and other skillfully carved utilitarian objects. All these sacred objects were once created and used as important features in their ritual behavior based on the manifestation of their divinities, ancestor worship, rites of passage, secret brotherhoods, and the performance of important social ceremonies like weddings, funerals, and harvesting. But more recently they have also included entirely new sculpted works created by talented, highly skilled craftsmen who were influenced by colonization and newly introduced religions, while at the same time finding inspiration in traditional myths and legends. Fascinating examples of this eclecticism are the figures of colonists depicted standing, on horseback, or riding birds, the many different kinds of female busts representing Mami Wata, the sea goddess, winged figures, bestiaries associated with tales and legends, and the personifications of the heroic founders of their villages.‎

‎Questioning Pictorial Genres in Dutch Seventeenth-Century Art. Definitions, Artistic Practices, Market & Society‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 402 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:130 col., 19 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503596242.‎

‎Summary Church interiors, cortegaerdjes, scenes of everyday life, tronies, landscapes, spoockerijen, group portraits, bambocciate, hunting scenes, history paintings, sottoboschi, still lives and many other subjects: the wide variety of pictorial genres and sub-genres in which Dutch artists specialized is a key component in our perception of Dutch seventeenth-century art. Yet the epistemological framework constituted by genre definitions, conventions and hierarchies is far from self-evident, nor does it necessarily reflect how people in the seventeenth-century thought about artworks. In fact, art literature of the period is largely silent on these matters and artists do not appear to have followed an established set of principles. This volume examines the way pictorial genres can be, and have been, defined by artists, theorists, audiences and art historians; how individual artists conceived the subject matter of their artworks; and how society and the art market contributed to the development of certain subjects. As such, it embraces the complex and often messy reality of pictorial genres in seventeenth-century Dutch art.

‎Philippe Van Snick (1946-2019) is een Belgisch kunstenaar die woonde en werkte in Brussel, waar hij jarenlang lesgaf aan de kunsthogeschool Sint Lukas.Hij was in de jaren 60 en 70 actief als een conceptueel en minimalistisch kunstenaar en werkte met diverse materialen zoals film, fotografie, en installaties. Weerkerende thema's zijn de ellips, het dualisme, en het decimaal systeem. Vanaf 1979 en vooral in de jaren 80 en 90 zal hij zich vooral wijden aan de abstracte minimalistische schilderkunst. Bekende motieven van Philippe Van Snick zijn dan het dag-nacht motief, gesymboliseerd in de kleuren blauw en zwart, en het tiendelige kleurenpalet met de kleuren rood, geel en blauw (als hoofdkleuren),oranje, groen en violet (als secundaire kleuren), goud en zilver (als kleuren met fysische waarde) en wit en zwart(als niet-kleuren). Aan dit boek werd heel geconcentreerd samengewerkt door de reeds terminaal zieke kunstenaar en grafisch ontwerpster Inge Ketelers.

‎This Land Is Your Land offers a unique perspective on the American landscape, making the familiar fantastic, as well as an aesthetic experience of dizzying proportions. Marilyn Bridges takes us on an inspiring journey, as we look down together on the fleeting moments and lasting signatures of the United States that are etched on our continent. An aerial photographer who has explored ancient cultures around the world for more than a decade, Bridges has now focused her attention on a subject no less intriguing: the grandeur of America. By flying and photographing at low altitudes, and by maintaining a sensuous closeness with her subject, Bridges avoids the simplistic representation of landscape as mere design. Divided regionally, This Land Is Your Land accents the variety of America, but follows civilization's uneasy interaction with the environment as a common thread. We see the earth shaped and reshaped to service humanity. Monuments rise to celebrate our achievements even as nature wards off intrusion. Fledgling communities spring up among lava and sand. Scars left by clear-cutting, mining, and nuclear waste raise concerns for the future. Yet here, too, there is ironic wit. The towering presidential portraits at Mount Rushmore appear dwarfed by surrounding mountains. The Statue of Liberty hides in plain sight, completely swathed in scaffolding. From the intimacy of a farmhouse to the majesty of the Grand Canyon, Bridges's original vision provides an unequaled perspective on the land in which we live. In the Book's Essay by acclaimed writer William Least Heat-Moon, and the Afterword by Bridges, we are given insight into the photographer's working process and the inspiration behind her images. Certainly, This Land Is Your Land contains an urgent environmental message; in every photograph we sense a longing for a purer time, before humanity dismissed the land's indigenous curves and flow in favor of the urban grid. Still, Bridges offers no facile solutions or sentimental appeals. Faced with the jumble of American progress, we look for a vision of nature as idyllic--only to be awed by the savage forces unleashed by Mount St. Helens and the Kilauea volcano. Never what you expect, This Land Is Your Land provides page after page of visual surprises. The book inspires in us a haunting and profound admiration for a vibrant land which will prevail long after our civilization has gone.‎
