This volume accompanies the exhibition Belle Haleine by German artist Georg Baselitz (1938) - a leading figure in the world of contemporary art - hosted in the splendid setting of the Galleria degli Antichi in Sabbioneta (Mantua), the Ideal City founded by Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna. Among the works presented - chosen from among the most significant in his artistic career - are imposing sculptures, large paintings on canvas, and the ten provocative engravings collectively entitled Belle Haleine in homage to Marcel Duchamp, an artist to whom Baselitz - provocatively - often refers in his work, and first exhibited in 1963. The volume offers a broad view of the multifaceted nature of the pioneer of neo-expressionist art, whose hallmark is to reproduce figures "upside down".

Featuring the latest research commissioned on the occasion of the Bauhaus centenary, this book explores the global influence of the renowned Bauhaus school of arts and its famed artists. Bauhaus Imaginista marks the centennial anniversary of this fascinating and popular school of art, which championed the idea of artists working together as a community. The Bauhaus reconnected art with everyday life and was active in the fields of architecture, performance, design, and visual art. Founded by Walter Gropius, its faculty included such luminaries as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, L szl Moholy-Nagy, and Josef Albers. Placing emphasis on the international dissemination and reception of the Bauhaus, this book expresses the Bauhaus' influence, philosophy, and history beyond Germany. Rethinking the school from an international perspective, it sets its entanglements against a century of geopolitical change, as many of its artists fled World War II Germany. Bauhaus Imaginista takes readers on a global visual tour of Bauhaus influence from art and design museums to campus galleries and art institutes in India, Japan, China, Russia, Brazil, Berlin, and the United States.

'Warheden die eeuwen en eeuwen vastgelegd waren geweest, bleken opeens niet meer geldig te zijn. Men was niet meer afhankelijk van een God die wel of niet in de zeilen blies. Al in het midden van de negentiende eeuw kon de mens zijn eigen snelheidskrachten versterken op de velocipede of fiets. De eerste benzineauto dateert van 1875. En nog voor 1900 werd door Clement Ader de ultieme droom van de mens gerealiseerd: hij kon vliegen. Met behulp van de kracht van het vuur kon de mens over zee, over land en in de lucht gaan: hij had de elementen bedwongen.' Marita Mathijsen maakt al jarenlang de Nederlandse literatuur van de negentiende eeuw toegankelijk. Keer op keer laat ze zien ze dat er heel wat meer te beleven viel dan Multatuli of de Tachtigers. Mathijsen rekent af met het cliche van een jansaliegeest, dat in het collectieve geheugen lijkt gekerfd. Tegelijk legt zij het deuntje het zwijgen op van een romantiek waarin alleen maar artistiek werd gehunkerd naar het graf en louter geweend werd over onvervulbare liefde, die eigenlijk pas het allermooist was als de beminde was gestorven aan de tering. Mathijsen plaatst er een mythe tegenover van de werkelijkheid, waarbij ze laat zien hoe maatschappijbetrokken de letterkundigen van de negentiende eeuw waren. In een aanstekelijke stijl brengt Mathijsen leven en werk van Francois HaverSchmidt (Piet Paaltjens), Aarnout Drost, Hendrik Tollens en Gerrit van de Linde (De Schoolmeester) voor het voetlicht. Ze onthult dat Mulisch'Twee vrouwen al in de negentiende eeuw is geschreven, door een vrouw. Uiteenlopende romans, gedichten, essays, brochures en vertalingen duidt Mathijsen binnen een permanent debat, waarbij spelling de maatschappij al in kampen kon verdelen. In dit bijzonder breed opgezette boek komen alle lijnen uit haar werk samen -een klinkende rehabilitatie van een tijdvak en van een literatuurbeschouwing.

In short, everyone involved in creating this catalogue and the exhibition it records deserves praise. The volume covers a vast terrain, helpfully summarizing the current state of knowledge on a great many objects and providing a road map for further study by scholars and students of the material (and indeed of ?materiality? writ large). In doing so, the catalogue provides a stellar example of the benefits of stepping outside of the intellectual taxonomies that so often constrain scholarship: our assumptions about the firmness of divisions between stylistic periods, geographic regions, and categories of objects. It compellingly demonstrates that those boundaries are far more permeable than they often might seem, and that they can distract us from important commonalities that transcend them.? (Stephen Perkinson, in Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews, 09/2023) BIO Marjan Debaene is Head of Collections at Museum M in Leuven. SUMMARY Alabaster was a popular material in European sculpture, especially from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. Its relative availability and easy to sculpt characteristic made it a highly suitable material for both large monuments and small objects, for mass production and individual works, from England to Spain and France to the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. This material has been the subject of multidisciplinary research in various European countries for several decades. The research combines material analyses with historical and art-historical approaches. This publication, made for the occasion of the large exhibition on the theme at M Leuven opening on October 14th, brings together all renown specialists on the material and sheds light on the many facets of alabaster, such as its physical and chemical properties as well as its translucency, its whiteness, its softness, and its beautiful sheen, all of which made it a popular material used in different types of sculpture from the middle ages to the baroque, all throughout Europe, ranging from bespoke tombs, funerary monuments and commissioned sculptures and altarpieces to commercially interesting formulas such as English or Mechelen alabaster reliefs.

An edited volume reflecting upon the transnational mobility of sculptors and its implications for the artists and their art during the long nineteenth century. This volume analyses the international mobility of sculptors and their work in the nineteenth century. The creation of nation-states at that time coincided with an increasingly international outlook shared by artists, their commissioners, sellers, buyers and critics. Sculptors were encouraged to study abroad, and were recognized for their experience and success overseas. As they were very much dependent on commissions, they had to travel to provide for their revenues. While abroad, they were nonetheless expected to represent their nation and showcase their e essays in this collection reflect upon the theoretical and practical implications of the many aspects of transnationality, travel and (cultural) mobility for nineteenth-century sculptors, their work and their careers, by addressing the role of, among others, education, execution, commissions, exhibitions, art criticism and the art market. The main focus is on French, Belgian and Italian sculptors and their works but other countries are represented too, and well-known as well as lesser-known sculptors, through general articles and case studies. Tom Verschaffel is professor in cultural history at KU Leuven. His research concerns the intellectual and cultural history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and more specifically the history of historical writing, the popular representation of history and cultural nationalism, the history of cultural infrastructure and of cultural transfers. Art historian Marjan Sterckx is associate professor in Art History at Ghent University, where she recently launched the research group ThIS: The Inside Story: Art, Interior design & architecture 1750-1950. Her research concerns the intersections between sculpture, gender, photography and the interior.

Holland was a popular travel destination for artists in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. American artists Gari Melchers and George Hitchcock also visited our country in the 1880s. In 1884, they settled in Egmond aan Zee. The presence of Melchers and Hitchcock in Egmond exerted a great attraction on fellow professionals. Desire for Egmond offers an overview of the developments in the artist colony of Egmond and the key role Hitchcock and Melchers played there.

Summary Around 1600, a new style of sculpture started to evolve and flourish in Central Europe and in the German-speaking lands. Dramatic wood and stone figures peopled the palaces, gardens and churches of Munich, Berlin, Dresden, D sseldorf, Vienna and Prague. These great works of art are little known outside Germany and Austria, partly because their colour and vivacity are so astoundingly different from the sculpture that was being produced in Italy, France and elsewhere in Northern Europe at that time. They are overpowering, and amongst the greatest works of art produced in Europe in the seventeenth century. This groundbreaking book explores their history and conveys their visual power.
