‎After his family was ruined by the Sack of Prague in the Thirty Years' War, the young Hollar, who had been destined for the legal profession, decided to become an artist. The earliest of his works that have come down to us are dated 1625 and 1626; they are small plates, and one of them is a copy of a "Virgin and Child" by D rer, whose influence upon Hollar's work was always great. In 1627 he was in Frankfurt where he was apprenticed to the renowned engraver Matth us Merian.[1] In 1630 he lived in Strasbourg, Mainz and Koblenz, where Hollar portrayed the towns, castles, and landscapes of the Middle Rhine Valley. In 1633 he moved to Cologne‎

‎Litterature et spiritualite en Scandinavie medievale. La traduction norroise du 'De arrha animae' de Hugues de Saint-Victor.Etude historique et edition critique,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 1995 Paperback, 284 p., + 6 ill., 160 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503503158.‎

‎Although Victorine influence in Scandinavia has already received a certain amount of scholarly attention, this is the first study consecrated to the Old Norse-Icelandic translation of De arrha animae, a spiritual work of Hugh of Saint-Victor. This translation is preserved in three Icelandic manuscripts from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The first part of the book examines the translation and its context, particularly in connection with the transmission of Victorine thought and spirituality. Retracing Scandinavian ecclesiastical history, Victorine influence is seen to have been of particular importance in the Norwegian ecclesiastical milieu of the twelfth century and also to some extent in the milieu of the Norwegian royal court in the thirteenth century. An examination of the manuscript tradition allows the manuscript of the translation to be connected with other manuscripts containing texts written for the Norwegian court during the thirteenth century. Even if the translation respects the main divisions of the original Latin text, it is interspersed with interpolations and glosses that modify to some extent the content of the original. An examination of the vocabulary of the translation reveals unexpected juridical connotations and, in addition, brings out affinities with other Old Norse texts, original texts as well as translations, such as Agrip, Barlaams ok Josaphats saga and the Konungs skuggsja or Speculum regale. In order to deepen the reader's appreciation of the literary and social background of the translation, the life and works of the Icelandic magistrate Haukr Erlendsson are examined against the background of the cultural history of thirteenth century Norway. Haukr Erlendsson made himself a career at the Norwegian court in the beginning of the fourteenth century, and it is to him that we owe the principal manuscript of the translation. The second part consists of a critical edition of the Old Norse text accompanied by a Latin text prepared by the Hugo-von-Sankt-Viktor-Institut at Frankfurt. The epilogue of the Old Norse translation is included in an appendix. This epilogue contains passages which are apparently borrowed from the Didascalion of Hugh of Saint-Victor. The appendix also includes a letter addressed by the Victorine archbishop Thorir to a number of Icelandic chieftains in 1211, among them the celebrated poet and historian Snorri Sturluson, author of the Edda and of Heimskringla. Si l'influence victorine en Scandinavie a deja recu l'attention des chercheurs, voici la premiere etude consacree a la traduction norroise (ancien-norvegienne / ancien-islandaise) d'un opuscule spirituel de Hugues de Saint-Victor, le De arrha animae, conservee dans trois manuscrits islandais du 14e et 15e siecles. Dans la premiere partie du livre, l'auteur se consacre a l'etude de la traduction et de son contexte du point de vue de la transmission de la pensee et de la spiritualite victorine. Retracant d'abord les grandes lignes de l'histoire ecclesiastique scandinave, il determine les manifestations de l'influence victorine dans le milieu ecclesiastique du 12e siecle et dans le milieu royal du 13e siecle. L'examen de la tradition manuscrite permet de rapprocher les manuscrits de la traduction a d'autres manuscrits contenant des textes ecrits pour la cour norvegienne au 13e siecle. Si la traduction, bien que souvent condensee, respecte les grandes divisions du texte latin, elle se trouve entrecoupee d'interpolations et de gloses, modifiant dans certains aspects le contenu de l'original. L'examen du vocabulaire de la traduction revele des connotations juridiques inattendues et montre en outre des affinites avec d'autres textes norrois, traduits et originaux, comme l'Agrip, la Barlaams ok Josaphats saga, et le Konungs skuggsja ou Speculum regale. Sur le fond du mouvement culturel dans la monarchie norvegienne du 13e siecle, qui englobe egalement la vie et l'oeuvre du magistrat islandais Haukur Erlendsson qui fit carriere a la cour norvegienne au debut du 14e siecle et auquel on doit le manuscrit principal de la traduction, l'etude du contexte litteraire et social de la traduction est developpee et approfondie. Dans la seconde partie on trouve l'edition critique de la traduction norroise, accompagnee d'un texte latin semi-critique prepare par le 'Hugo-von-Sankt-Viktor-Institut' a Francfort. En appendice sont publies l'epilogue de la traduction norroise, comportant des passages empruntes au Didascalicon de Hugues de Saint-Victor et une lettre que l'archeveque victorin Thore adressa a quelques chefs islandais en 1211 parmi lesquels figure le celebre poete et historien Snorri Sturluson, auteur de l'Edda et de la Heimskringla.

‎Het oeuvre van de Belgische kunstenaar Robert Devriendt is onlosmakelijk verbonden met film: zijn schilderijen zijn klein en kunnen bekeken worden als een reeks stills. De samenhang van deze ?filmische montages? is vaak enigmatisch - er is geen vastomlijnd script. De toeschouwer ervaart de schilderijenreeksen als onopgeloste zaken, waarbij de personages op het schilderij de rol spelen van acteurs: een man kijkt ons aan, een meisje blijkt net vermoord te zijn ? of ligt ze te slapen? De kijker wordt automatisch getransformeerd in coregisseur en cre ert zijn eigen verhaal. De series van Robert Devriendt zijn als gebroken verhalen, waarbij de interpretatie van de toeschouwer centraal staat. Broken Stories biedt een overzicht van de carri re van Robert Devriendt, met de nadruk op zijn recente werk.‎

‎, Arnoldsche, 2022 softcover 392 pages ,300 X 210 X 27 mm , 390 illustrations, Text in Deutsch / Englisch. ISBN 9783897906815.‎

‎BESESSEN Die geheime Kunst des Polsterns Upholstered seating is familiar to all of us as a more or less constant companion in everyday life. Upholstery conveys a sense of security and promises comfort, suggests or creates status, and tells a (hi)story. We barely give a thought to its interior. Yet a glimpse inside the chairs and armchairs is a journey into secrets, of lashed and sprung constructions, which prove to be unknown masterpieces of craftsmanship. DEEP-SEATED: The Secret Art of Upholstery traces pieces of furniture and their inner details and illustrates why upholstery is a constant constituent of cultural and social history. From the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classicism, Historicism, and Art Nouveau to designs by Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto, the history of upholstered furniture is traced up to the present day. It also includes a closer examination of the corresponding tools, textiles, braiding, tassels, and cushions. All this accumulated knowledge is summarized at the end in an extensive glossary for reference.‎

‎Born to be Glorified. Assumptionist Altarpieces in the Final Phase of the Spanish 'Reconquista'‎

‎BE - , Peeters leuven,, 2023 Hardcover with dusjacket, 147 pages, 245 x 245 x 16 mm, Illustrated. FINE. ISBN 9789042949706.‎

‎Hans Memling's altarpiece for the high altar of Santa Mar a la Real in N jera (1483-1494) must have been one of the most spectacular Flemish art works in the Iberian Peninsula. Only three panels survive in the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts : God surrounded by singing and music-making angels. The retable?s central theme was the mystery of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. The iconography of the whole has been described by Jovellanos at the end of the 18th century. From c. 1482 on, dozens of monumental altarpieces dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin in conjunction with Christological themes have been created throughout Spain. They focus on the complex role of the Holy Virgin, her triumph and glorification. It was a common belief that she was the only human to have borne up bodily into heaven. Although ?Maryam? was held in very high esteem by Muslims too ?and as such, she was a interreligious ?bridge?--, her role as Theotokos or Mother of God was a point of conflict. During the last phase of the Reconquista, to Iberian Christians, the Assumption served as an image of the Church/Faith Triumphant, not as a conciliatory belief.‎

‎The 80s vibrate with energy. In their whirlwind, a generation of creators has emerged, carrying arts of living different from those of the past: Mark Brazier-Jones, Franck Evennou, Elizabeth Garouste, Marco de Gueltzl, Hubert Le Gall, Thierry Peltrault, Laurence Picot, Andrea Salvetti or even Claude de Wulf. In order to give flesh to this period in France, this book has collected the words of a witness of its actors, Elisabeth Delacarte whose Avant-Sc ne gallery is one of the few to have survived until today. For almost 40 years, it has defended singular artists who have become essential in their field. From France to England, Italy or Russia, the elaborate portraits dedicated to them evoke the atmosphere and the news that accompany them. Each embodies the importance of artistic craftsmanship, and all take particular paths in order to express universal emotions in their own way. The great subjects of today are declined along their course. We discover upcycling ahead of time with the fiery Marco de Gueltzl and the beginnings of the libertine punk Mark Brazier-Jones, the vital need for nature in the works of Frank Evennou or the sculptor chef Andrea Salvetti, the romanticism advocated by Laurence Picot, the joyful poetry of Elizabeth Garouste, the humorous fantasy of Hubert Le Gall. They have in common to have changed their lives to devote themselves to art furniture. This is also the case of Elisabeth Delacarte. His personal point of view illuminates from the inside the changes in the decorative arts at the end of the 20th century. Staging the productions of each artist, decoration projects punctuate the book and leave room for contemplation.‎

‎Piet Mondrian behind his easel, Igor Stravinsky at his piano, Max Ernst sitting smoking on his throne-like chair: Arnold Newman's photographs are classics of portraiture. His subtle arrangements constituted the foundations of "environmental portraiture." His photographs integrate the respective artist's characteristic equipment and surroundings, thus indicating his or her field of activity. The enormous fame of Newman's portraits can be ascribed to their daring compositions and sometimes astounding spatial structures. The photographer's beginnings, on the other hand, were none too promising. During the Great Depression Newman had to abandon his art studies for financial reasons. Between 1938 and 1942 he concentrated on socio-documentary photography in the ghettos of West Palm Beach, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. One might think that being forced to earn his living in a photography studio would have stifled his artistic potential: Newman portrayed up to 70 clients a day. Yet he still succeeded in developing a very personal touch and establishing himself in the New York art scene of the early 1940s. His subjects included Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Marc Chagall, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Alexander Calder. With his unmistakable style, Newman became the star photographer of artists, writers and musicians.‎

‎, Ludion, 2023 HB, 315 x 240 x 20 mm, ENG , 176 pages, Nice green velvet cover, photographs in colour, . ISBN 9789493039841.‎

‎Kunstenaar Jacquie Maria Wessels (1959) studeerde fotografie aan de Gerrit Rietveld Academie en sociale psychologie aan de Vrije Universiteit. Haar werk is gerelateerd aan de documentairefotografie en is meestal het resultaat van een langdurige verdieping in een welbepaald onderwerp. Het werk dat in dit boek aan bod komt ontstaat wanneer Wessels het wonderlijke universum van traditionele garages ontdekt: ze raakt gefascineerd door de vormen en kleuren van de mysterieuze en onbekende voorwerpen die ze er aantreft. Wessels trekt vervolgens de wereld rond om in exotische garages po tische stillevens te cre eren met haar analoge camera. De interieurs van garages in Cambodia, Cuba, Itali , Marokko, Nederland, Polen, Turkije, Rusland, Zuid-Afrika, Japan en Sri Lanka, lijken op het eerste gezicht dezelfde elementen te bevatten, maar kleine details - enkel zichtbaar voor een geduldig en getraind oog - wijzen op culturele verschillen. Wessels richt haar camera vervolgens naar buiten, naar de rechtstreekse omgeving van de oude garages. Daar wordt ze getroffen door de natuur die ze terugvindt in de ruwe, industri le landschappen aan de rand van de steden. In sommige gevallen neemt de woekerende natuur het over van de industrie, en overgroeit ze de garages die er stand proberen houden. Het fotografisch resultaat zijn schilderachtige beelden met een verrassend kleurenpalet. Tegelijkertijd getuigen ze van een verdwijnende, hoofdzakelijk mannelijke wereld die stilaan verdrongen wordt door nieuwe, steriele technologie n.‎

‎More than 37 years ago, the French artist Bernar Venet designed the Arc Majeur, a monumental work more than 60m high which was to be the first work visible only in movement. It was not until 2017 that the Belgian group John Cockerill and its foundation agreed to participate in the financing of this masterful work. For more than 2 years, the Meta-Morphosis team followed the artist, the workers, engineers, welders and experts who allowed this work to exist. From the first sketches to the transport of sections weighing several tons to arrive at the installation, each step was a real technological and human challenge. Photographer Charles Paulicevich took thousands of art photographs in the Cockerill workshops and on the E411 when it was installed. This Art book celebrates the know-how of all those who made this crazy dream a reality. The book retraces the adventure of the Arc which waited 37 years before standing proudly in Wallonia: plans, sketches, photos of the making of, archive images and photos of the work in situ. The preface is by Jack Lang.‎

‎The world-renowned British sculptor Tony Cragg is an intriguing combination of artist and scientist, chemist and alchemist, believer and sceptic, whose work has had an immense influence on a whole younger generation of post-formalist sculptors. Born in Liverpool in 1949, Cragg abandoned his scientific background to pursue a career as an artist, and has, over the course of some twenty-five years, evolved a prodigious oeuvre, exhibiting widely and earning international acclaim. His remarkable and extensive body of sculpture, astonishingly diverse, ranges from early works in natural elements to large-scale plastic and wood assemblages, from metal-spiked pieces to smooth, sensual bronzes. This exceptional study of Cragg's sculpture, the fullest and most comprehensive to date, provides a thorough visual survey of work dating from the early 1970s to the present day, tracing the artist's development from his formative years at the Wimbledon School of Art through his conceptual, rather than stylistic, evolution of a sculptural vernacular. Following an introductory critique from Germano Celant, there is an extensive plates section focusing on individual works, bringing out the unique shape, colour and texture of each piece. Interwoven with the photographs are reflections from the artist himself, lending insight and understanding to his methods and motivations. A full reference section, with a short biography, a list of works, an exhibition history and select bibliography, concludes the monograph.‎

‎Jan Lievens : Friend and rival of the young Rembrandt with a catalogue raisonn e of his early Leiden work 1623-1632‎

‎, Michael Imhof Verlag, 2016 Hardcover; 320 x 250 x 40 mm, 488 pages, NEW ! , 477 colour / 52 b/w illustrations, ISBN 9783731903338.‎

‎Jan Lievens (1607-1674), Rembrandt's boyhood friend, who embarked on an artistic career even earlier than his companion, once again is as highly regarded as during his lifetime, thanks to numerous recent publications and several exhibitions. The present monograph and catalogue raisonn discuss and analyze for the first time the extensive output of his early Leiden years: his paintings, drawings, and etchings from 1623 to 1632. Besides the book?s comprehensiveness and consideration of the artist's work in the context of his Netherlandish contemporaries from Haarlem, Utrecht, and Antwerp, special emphasis is placed on establishing the chronology of his ?uvre. Only a solid foundation such as this would make it possible to determine more precisely than before Lievens?s much discussed relationship to Rembrandt. What transpired was a most lively give and take between two young artists intensely searching for new ways of artistic expression whose later development after their respective move from Leiden took very different paths. Consequently, the careful examination of Lievens's early oeuvre sheds new light on Rembrandt's Leiden work‎
