Rauschenberg Robert
Robert Rauschenberg. Un ritratto
Artista fra i più innovativi e influenti della sua generazione, Robert Rauschenberg è figura chiave nei cambiamenti radicali che animano l'arte visiva americana dalla fine degli anni cinquanta. Rauschenberg compie i suoi primi passi nel mondo dell'arte sfidando con audacia ogni presupposto. Dal primo soggiorno-studio a Parigi all'esperienza formativa di Black Mountain College fino al Leone d'oro alla Biennale di Venezia del 1964 che lo consacra come artista riconosciuto a livello internazionale, il suo percorso esce dai tracciati convenzionali e si colloca nel campo di una sperimentazione che infrange ogni regola, trasformando lo spazio bidimensionale del dipinto in un ricettacolo di materiali eterogenei. Ritagli di giornale, pezzi di stoffa, fotografie, objets trouvés, nulla è escluso dai combine paintings, creazioni ibride a metà strada fra pittura e scultura, che coniugano l'amore per l'oggetto di rifiuto, ereditato dal collage dadaista, con la pennellata astratto-informale. Calvin Tomkins ci offre uno spaccato della rivoluzione che ha visto l'arte uscire da musei e gallerie per proiettarsi al centro dello scenario sociale; ce ne presenta i protagonisti: Pollock e de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella e Andy Warhol; documenta l'ascesa che ha portato ai vertici dell'arte e del successo l'artista che più di ogni altro, in questo contesto, ha mirato a un'arte cumulativa. — Testi: Tomkins Calvin. F.to: 15,5x23; pagg. 300; rileg. brossura. Editore: Johan & Levi, Monza, 2008.

Rauwolf, Leonhard [auch: Rauwolff]
[Orient:] Leonharti Rauwolfen, der Artzney Doctorn, und bestelten Medici zu Augspurg Aigentgliche beschreibung der Raiß, so er vor dieser zeit gegen Auffgang inn die Morgenländer, fürnemlich Syriam, Iudaeam, Arabiam, Mesopotamiam, Babyloniam, Assyriam, Armeniam etc. nicht ohne geringe mühe unnd große gefahr selbs volbracht: neben vermeldung etlicher mehr gar schön frembden und außländischen Gewächsen, sampt iren mit angehenckten lebendigen contrafacturen, unnd auch anderer denckwürdiger sachen, die alle er auff solcher erkundiget, gesehen und obseruiert hat. Alles in Vier underschidliche Thail mit sonderem fleiß abgethailet, unnd ein jeden weitter in seine sondere Capitel, wie dero jnnhalt in zü: end gesetztem Register züfinden.
Laugingen (d. i. Lauingen), Leonhart Reinmichel für Georg Willers, 1583. 8 Blatt, 487 S., 27 Blatt, 1 unbedrucktes Blatt. Alter Pergamentband mit umgeschlagenen Vorderkanten. 4 Teile in einem Band. Mit 2 Titelvignetten in Holzschnitt und 42 ganzseitigen Pflanzenholzschnitten. Deutschsprachige Beschreibung von Rauwolfs Reise ins Heilige Land und den Vorderen Orient mit zahlreichen authentischen und zuverlässigen Beobachtungen. Graesse VI, 39; Brunet IV, 1122f.; Pritzel 7430; VD16: R 431; Short-Title Catalogue of German Books in the British Museum, p. 727. Die hier vorliegende zweite Auflage enthält erstmals den wichtigen vierten Teil mit den Pflanzenholzschnitten zuvor teils unbekannter orientalischer Gewächse (Nissen: Die botanische Buchillustration, Nr. 1587). Dem Autor zu Ehren wurde später die Gattung "Rauvolfia" der Pflanzenfamilie der Hundsgiftgewächse (Apocynaceae) benannt. "Mit besonderer Vorliebe hat Rauwolf alle medicinischen Dinge, Krankheiten, Heilmittel, Bäder, Speisen und Getränke und alle Industrien besprochen, nicht ohne daß durch Leichtgläubigkeit, wie sie der Zeit gegenüber den Erzählungen von fremden Ländern eigen war, auch manches Fabelhafte (s. die Schilderung des Greifes im 8. Capitel des 2. Buches) mit unterläuft. Rauwolf muß ein genaues Tagebuch geführt haben, er würde sonst nicht im Stande gewesen sein, eine solche Fülle einzelner genauer Angaben zu bieten" (F. Ratzel in ADB 27). In der Schilderung seiner dramatisch verlaufenen Reise gibt der Autor außerdem die erste Beschreibung des Kaffees und eines Kaffeehauses: "Under andern habens ein gut getränck / welliches sie hoch halten / Chaube von jnen genennet / das ist gar nahe wie Dinten so schwartz / vnnd in gebresten / sonderlich des Magens / gar dienstlich. Dises pflegens am Morgen frü / auch an offnen orten / vor jedermenigklich one alles abscheuen zutrincken / auß jrdinen vnnd Porcellanischen tieffen Schälein / so warm / alß sies können erleiden." (S. 102f.). Zwischen die 4 Teile des Textes hat der Buchbinder jeweils mehrere unbedruckte Leerseiten eingebunden. Der Vorderdeckel innen und das Titelblatt am oberen Rand mit handschriftlichen Vermerken von alter Hand zur Bedeutung des Buches. Der Rücken nachgedunkelt und der Vorderdeckel etwas fleckig, insgesamt handelt es sich jedoch um ein ordentliches, breitrandiges und weitgehend fleckenfreies Exemplar.
