‎, Zwolle, Waanders 2001, 2001 Hardcover, 132 pagina's, NL, 275 x 245 mm, als nieuw !, veel info en illustraties in kleur, . ISBN 9789040095481.‎

‎De Leidse fijnschilders van de Gouden Eeuw genoten al in hun tijd als geen andere schilder een ongekende faam. De minutieus geschilderde kabinetstukjes van Gerrit Dou, Frans van Mieris de Oude en Godfried Schalcken vonden hun weg naar toonaangevende verzamelingen door heel Europa. August de Sterke, keurvorst van Saksen, had een buitengewone voorkeur voor de fijnschilders en bracht een verzameling van meer dan tachtig meesterwerken bijeen. De Gem ldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden bezit hiervan meer dan vijftig werken, verreweg de grootste en belangrijkste verzameling fijnschilders ter wereld. Het Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal heeft de eer deze collectie voor het eerst in zijn geheel te tonen. Ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling verschijnt een publicatie van Annegret Laabs, waarin de collectie volledig wordt beschreven. Alle werken zijn in kleur te bewonderen en Christoph Sch lzel beschrijft in een apart essay de materiaal-technische aspecten van het werk. Leidse fijnschilders is voor alles een perfecte introductie in het onderwerp. De succesvolle en reeds lang uitverkochte voorganger uit 1988 heeft eindelijk een opvolger.‎

‎Leon Spilliaert from the Depths of the Soul.‎

‎, ludion, 2019 Hardback, 290 x 250 mm, 336 pages, 400 illustrations. English edition. **VERY FINE condition !. ISBN 9789491819902.‎

‎Rooted in the Symbolist tradition of the fin-de-siecle and drawn to the avant-garde, Leon Spilliaert (1881-1946), was a loner who never occupied a clear place in the art of his time. He shared not only his home port of Ostend with James Ensor, but also his sense of mockery and irony, non-conformity and an urge to view the world differently. Spilliaert, however, created a spiritual visual language of his own, experimenting with pastels and gouache, playing with purified expanses of colour and elegant lines. The moonlit sea, solitary, vacantly gazing figures, beaches stripped of all human presence, empty rooms and stylized, backlit silhouettes - Spilliaert invariably evoked an atmosphere of mystery, magic and alienation in line and colour. Anne Adriaens-Pannier, former curator at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels, has been working on the catalogue raisonne of his oeuvre since 1995 at the Spilliaert family's request. She pays tribute to the artist with this beautifully illustrated book, in which she describes his drawings and paintings, as well as referring to his book illustrations and lithographs. The author presents Spilliaert as a link between the major art movements in the fascinating era in which he lived and worked. A unique book about an exceptional artist.‎

‎Mastering Nature in the Medieval Arabic and Latin Worlds. Studies in Heritage and Transfer of Arabic Science in Honour of Charles Burnett‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 292 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 9 col., 6 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Latin, Arabic. ISBN 9782503604480.‎

‎Summary Understanding and influencing nature were preeminent aims of medieval Arabic science, and attracted European fascination with its accomplishments. This volume draws together studies on central themes, presenting a world of enquiry into the earth and the heavens, and ways to harness this information for divination and the occult sciences. It gives examples of how Arabic science travelled to Latin Europe through texts and instruments, and how it underwent transformation there as diverse fields were put to use and reinterpreted. The studies introduce a range of learning and perspectives: astrology conducted with planetary lots; a geography where features of the earth's surface move over time; knowledge of the elements and climates which Adelard of Bath learned from Arab masters; Avicenna's meteorology explaining the extremes of fire storms and catastrophic floods; debates about the eternity or creation of the world; evaluations of magic as a rational, intellectual discipline, or alternatively a danger needing censorship and linked to female witchcraft; and a precious astrolabe which in the Renaissance was reused and inspired new theoretical writings. Together these studies sketch a landscape of medieval Arabic science and Latin European engagement with this new frontier. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Ab?

‎Medieval Glossaries from North-Western Europe. Tradition and Innovation‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 762 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 11 col., 16 tables b/w., Language: English.* NEW ISBN 9782503584577.‎

‎Summary Glossaries are the dictionaries of the medieval period. They were created at a time when no comprehensive dictionary of the Latin language existed, but lexicographical resources were urgently needed to engage with the writings of Classical and Late Antiquity as well as near-contemporary texts. In the non-Romance speaking areas in north-western Europe, the compilers of glossaries were quick to have recourse to their vernacular languages. Glossaries are often the places in which these languages were put into writing for the first time. Hence, the effort to explain Latin vocabulary resulted in bilingual lexicography and in the establishment of the vernaculars as written languages in their own right. The negotiation of linguistic and cultural barriers lies at the centre of the glossaries. Consequently, medieval traditions of glossography are highly interconnected. This volume represents the first reference work dedicated to medieval glossaries in English and related traditions, including other languages spoken in the British Isles (Celtic languages, Anglo-Norman) and the Germanic languages (High and Low German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Gothic). As such, it is intended as a vademecum for researchers in order to facilitate modern approaches to medieval glossography, lexicology and lexicography, which often require some familiarity with different traditions. Written by experts in the field, the fifty chapters of this volume highlight important characteristics and themes of medieval glossaries and outline different glossographic traditions; they facilitate access to individual glossaries, or groups of related glossaries, by providing detailed discussions of the texts, their sources, relationships and transmission; they also give an account of the current state of research and highlight important resources.

‎Pierre Culot (1938-2011) tait un c ramiste/sculpteur Belge. Pierre Culot a t form par Antoine de Vinck et le ma tre potier anglais Bernard Leach. Il appartient la g n ration des c ramistes des ann es 1950 qui ont fait de leur m tier une forme d'art. L'argile qu'il a tourn e, fa onn e en plaques, gratt e et vernie est devenue un ustensile quotidien d'une pr sence majestueuse. Tout au long de sa vie, il est rest fid le son exp rience initiale de la poterie et a laiss son travail voluer de la c ramique aux formes basiques (bols, assiettes, carafes) d'autres ?uvres plus audacieuses (vases cruciformes, calebasses, pots composites, encriers). Attach la beaut du geste, qu'il ma trise la perfection, il fait voluer ses pi ces, les faisant voluer dans la taille et l'effet de surface, m lant dans chacune terre crue et gla ure exub rante dans des variations uniques. Son nergie vitale irr sistible s'est nourrie au contact de la nature. Son imagination a transcend la fonctionnalit et il s'est fondu dans le paysage avec des murs sculpt s. A partir de 1967, il collecte des blocs de pierre pour cr er des cicatrices min rales dans les jardins. Le rythme, la solidit et le poids de ces murs de pierre et de b ton surprennent tant par leur audace que par leur humilit . Pierre Culot a laiss la nature le soin d'achever l'?uvre. Il a con u une douzaine de ces murs. Il a conserv cette chelle monumentale pour cr er, parall lement aux murs, de grandes sculptures de pierre, ou un m lange de brique et de granit, de brique et de brique, ou de brique et de gr s. Ils sont install s dans la verdure et invitent le spectateur p n trer dans cet entre-deux, le vide, pour une exp rience exceptionnelle. Les ?uvres de Pierre Culot expriment la dualit , le passage, la compl mentarit des forces, dans un langage architectural librement interpr t d'arcs, de portails et de contreforts.

‎Ponce Pilate. La construction d?une figure dans la litt rature patristique et apocryphe‎

‎Summary This monograph is the first study to highlight the plasticity of the figure of Pilate across Christian literature of the first millennium, as transmitted in Greek, Latin, Coptic, Syriac, Ge'ez, Armenian, Georgian, Slavic and Arabic. The name of the person Pilate is present in the memoirs and in the confessions of faith for the role of this Roman praefectus of Judea in the central event of Christianity which is the death sentence of Jesus of Nazareth. However, we only know his character as it was constructed by the authors of the first century - the Jewish writers, the authors of the Gospels which have become canonical or of the texts called apocrypha. It is from these sources that the authors of the patristic period elaborate figures of Pilate based on their analysis of his role in the Passion. Like the emperor depicted in the apocryphal texts, they in turn put Pilate on trial: how could the human judge judge the Judge of the universe? Who is responsible for the death of Jesus? Even though it is very largely sullied in the medieval West, the triune figure of Pilate as governor, judge and Roman is enriched with the features of the informant, of the evangelizer of the emperor, and even of the martyr and the saint. Cette monographie est la premi re tude mettant en vidence la plasticit de la figure de Pilate travers la litt rature chr tienne du premier mill naire, transmise en grec, latin, copte, syriaque, gu ze, arm nien, g orgien, slave et arabe. Le nom de la personne Pilate est pr sent dans les m moires et dans les confessions de foi pour le r le de ce pr fet romain de Jud e dans l' v nement central du christianisme qu'est la condamnation mort de J sus de Nazareth. On ne conna t pourtant de lui que le personnage construit par les auteurs du Ier si cle - les crivains juifs, les auteurs des vangiles devenus canoniques ou des textes appel s apocryphes. C'est partir de ces sources que les auteurs de la p riode patristique laborent des figures de Pilate fond es sur leur analyse de son r le dans la Passion. Tels l'empereur mis en sc ne dans les textes apocryphes, ils font leur tour le proc s de Pilate : comment le juge humain a-t-il pu juger le Juge de l'univers ? Qui est responsable de la mort de J sus ? Alors m me qu'elle est tr s largement noircie dans l'Occident m di val, la figure trine de Pilate comme gouverneur, juge et Romain s'enrichit des traits de l'informateur, voire de l' vang lisateur de l'empereur, et m me du martyr et du saint.

‎Over the centuries, craftsmen have applied their creativity and technical skills to exploit the generous resources of Nature to marvelous effect. In this case they have employed seeds, leaves, flowers and fibers from the plant world, along with feathers, plain or iridescent shells, teeth, and fur from the animal kingdom to fashion objects of astonishing beauty, enhanced with the addition of elements in iron, copper, silver, and gold. Such materials have always provided the basis for magnificent headdresses of all varieties, including hats, caps, crowns, and headbands. In time, as the conditions of trade and pilgrimage routes improved, rare materials and manufactured products spread all over the globe, as well as new knowledge, techniques, and methods of fabrication. Each class of individual sported a distinct type of headdress: initiates and adults, hunters and warriors, religious dignitaries and healers, rulers and notables; unmarried girls, married women, and young mothers. In each case the author explains their opulence and symbolism to the reader.‎

‎Ritual, Gender, and Narrative in Late Medieval Italy. Fina Buzzacarini and the Baptistery of Padua‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:225 x 280 mm, Illustrations:188 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503579689.‎

‎Summary Ritual, Gender, and Narrative in Late Medieval Italy is the first English-language study of the baptistery of Padua and its extraordinarily rich fresco program, which opens with Genesis and closes with the Apocalypse. Remarkably, when the building was refashioned and frescoed by Giusto de' Menabuoi in the 1370s, it was a woman, Fina Buzzacarini, who funded the enterprise. In late medieval Italy, baptisteries were potent symbols of civic identity, solidarity, and pride, and towns spent lavishly on them - but no other baptistery was so radically reworked at the behest of a woman. Remarkably, too, though the building continued to function as Padua's baptismal church, the renovations transformed it into the mausoleum of Fina Buzzacarini and her family. This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach, using close visual analysis to argue that to a surprising degree, Fina exerted control over the images. The author argues too that ritual is equally important in understanding the frescoes: that in multiple ways that have rarely been considered, the images respond to and participate in the ritual enacted in this sacred space. The prayers intoned at the font, the actions of the officiant, the hymns chanted in procession and inside the baptistery, and even details of the rite all find visual echoes on the baptistery's walls. Ultimately, gender and ritual intersect in the multilayered frescoes of the Padua baptistery. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1 Fina Buzzacarini in Carrara Padua Local chroniclers say little about Fina, but recount one salient aspect of her life: after marrying Francesco I Carrara in 1345, she failed for over a decade to produce the requisite son and heir. After crises at court over succession, in 1359 she gave birth to a son. Though the couple's marriage was strained by her husband's blatant philandering, previously overlooked records show that Fina, a very wealthy woman, gradually emerged as a powerful presence at court. While some have minimized the degree of Fina's responsibility for the baptistery's program, I cite a number of documents from the later trecento that attest to a woman's ability to shape the subject matter of a work that she funded. I next discuss Fina's tomb monument, which emulates those of earlier Carrara lords but outshines them, and her votive portrait, which places her on the dexter side, as sole donor, and excludes her husband. Finally, I consider the extraordinary small portraits of Fina inserted into several of the narratives and interpret them as assertions of her authority, overt claims of agency, injected through the program. Chapter 2 Baptistery as Mausoleum: Ambitions and Motivations Why would Fina have sought the baptistery as a burial site, and why did Francesco and the local bishop, whose approval would have been required, agree? The sacred space of a baptistery had long been understood as a desirable funerary site. For Francesco, the project meant the embellishment of one of the most important buildings in the city, burnishing the stature of the regime; co-opting the preeminent symbol of civic harmony; and creating a prestigious-and presumably spiritually advantageous-setting for his own tomb. For the bishop, given the brief tenures of his predecessors who dared to cross Francesco, attempting to thwart the project was not a viable option. Fina likely had reasons of her own, which I consider further in Chapter 6, for choosing the baptistery as her burial place. Here I note that baptisteries were uncommonly welcoming to women. The rite offered them a rare opportunity to participate in the liturgy: women took their place at the font next to men. Finally, in electing her burial in the baptistery, Fina insured that her tomb would be seen, and her memory preserved, by future generations. Chapter 3 Narrative, Ritual, Exegesis: The Genesis Cycle This chapter opens with an account of the baptismal ritual as performed in late medieval Italy- the choreography of prayers, chants, readings, ritual actions, and attendant customs for both the solemn rite and the individual rite. The rest of chapter 3, and chapters 4 and 5, analyze the frescoes in the narrative cycles, arguing that they are as carefully choreographed as the rite, and work in concert with it. They respond as well to baptismal theology, depicting themes that offer pictorial glosses on the rite, echoing typological parallels drawn by medieval exegetes. The Genesis cycle in the drum of the dome includes narratives both familiar and more obscure (the Death of Adam; Lamech Slaying Cain; Jacob's Prayer after his Dream; Jacob's Rods; the Reunion of Jacob and Esau). The obscure episodes are distinctly baptismal, and even the familiar ones are rendered in unusual ways that heighten their baptismal resonance. Chapter 4: Narrative, Ritual, Exegesis: The New Testament Cycle The baptismal themes introduced in the drum continue below, in the New Testament cycle, where the frescoes are often strategically sited to respond to others, each accruing meaning from those nearby. Because of these pictorial and thematic correspondences, it is most productive to analyze the frescoes spatially, wall by wall, rather than purely chronologically. While most of the New Testament episodes depicted here are commonly seen in trecento visual narrative, almost all have been adapted in ways that make them singularly appropriate to the site. For instance, in the Massacre of the Innocents, the slain babies, normally shown nude in trecento painting, wear white tunics that evoke the white garments given to infants after baptism; the jugs in the Marriage of Cana are enlarged versions of the ewer used in the baptismal rite. Chapter 5: Narrative, Ritual, Exegesis: The Apocalypse Cycle In the baptistery's apse is a remarkably detailed depiction of the book of Revelation, a subject seldom seen in trecento painting and never on this scale. The choice was well considered: from late antiquity into late medieval Italy, exegetes found in the text repeated allusions to the sacrament. Again, uncommon narrative inclusions, such as the opening of the fifth seal, with the giving of white garments to the souls under the altar, or idiosyncratic features, like the setting of scenes in dramatic seascapes that attest to the salvific potency of water, highlight the relationship between the images and the rite enacted here. Chapter 6: Gender Matters: Maternity, Sexuality, and Visual Rhetoric If the Padua baptistery is a site for the celebration of the liturgy, it is also a site for the celebration, and commemoration, of its patron. Chapter 6 returns to the visual evidence to examine Fina's role in the baptistery more closely. The gender symmetry of the dome, where women and men appear in equal numbers in the largest circle of Paradise, is suggestive. So is the Genesis cycle's insertion of women into the narrative, at times almost rewriting sacred history to insist on their active participation at critical junctures. Moreover, many of the women featured in the dome and the drum are, unlike most women in the Christian pantheon, mothers - significantly, mothers of sons. Several (Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Elizabeth) conceived and delivered sons only after a long delay. Important, too, is the Apocalyptic Woman of Rev. 12, prominently depicted in the apse, who gave birth to a son born to rule. All of these women serve as Fina's exemplars - and as reminders of her success in delivering her own long-awaited son. Finally, the frescoes also feature malevolent, and specifically sexually transgressive, women: Herodias, the wife of Lot, and the Whore of Babylon; all are visually juxtaposed with virtuous mothers, and Herodias, who had an adulterous relationship with a ruler, with Fina herself.‎

‎ROA is het pseudoniem van een anonieme, hedendaagse street art kunstenaar uit Gent. Men vermoedt dat hij is geboren in 1976. Zijn werken zijn aangebracht op gebouwen in diverse steden in Europa, de Verenigde Staten, Zuid-Amerika, Afrika, Azi en Australi . Hij neemt regelmatig deel aan street art-festivals en werkt van tijd tot tijd samen met galerijen wereldwijd. Verder is er zeer weinig geweten over deze anonieme kunstenaar. Zelf vindt hij dat zijn werk immers voor zich spreekt. Hij mijdt steevast elke vorm van contact met de media en laat zich nauwelijks strikken voor interviews. Zo houdt hij naar eigen zeggen zijn werk en geest vrij. Gefascineerd door de natuur laat de anonieme ROA zich graag inspireren door de schoonheid ervan. Al schuwt hij ook de keerzijde van de brute dierenwereld niet, wat meteen voer voor discussie biedt onder kunstliefhebbers. Vereenzaamde vossen, copulerende ratten, verstilde kraaien met gesloten ogen, waarvan je niet weet of ze vredig aan het slapen zijn of allang gestorven zijn? Met veel zin voor detail brengt hij overal ter wereld zijn zwart-witte signatuurtekeningen van met uitsterven bedreigde inheemse diersoorten aan op gebouwen. ROA is the pseudonym of an anonymous, contemporary street art artist from Ghent. He is believed to have been born in 1976. His works have been installed on buildings in various cities in Europe, the United States, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. He regularly participates in street art festivals and from time to time collaborates with galleries worldwide. Furthermore, very little is known about this anonymous artist. He himself believes that his work speaks for itself. He consistently avoids any form of contact with the media and hardly allows himself to be roped in for interviews. This is how he says he keeps his work and mind free. Fascinated by nature, the anonymous ROA likes to be inspired by its beauty. Although he does not shy away from the downside of the brutal animal world, which immediately provides fodder for discussion among art lovers. Lonely foxes, copulating rats, silent crows with closed eyes, of which you do not know whether they are sleeping peacefully or have long since died... With great attention to detail, he applies his black and white signature drawings of endangered native animal species all over the world. on buildings.‎

‎Dans ce livre, Anne de Sta l, fille a n e du peintre, rassemble ses souvenirs d'enfant augment s d'une r flexion originale sur le rapport du dessin au tableau. Les moments de vie voqu s taient toujours m l s l'urgence et l'intensit de l'expression picturale. Il ne s'agit donc pas ici d'une analyse d'historienne de l'art, mais du regard d'une enfant qui a grandi aupr s de cette peinture et qui, devenue adulte, a cherch d nouer le myst re de la cr ation dont elle a t en partie t moin. Jusqu'ici, le lien entre le trait du dessin - encre de Chine, fusain, mine de plomb - et la densit de la couleur n'avait jamais t aussi clairement tabli. Dans une langue toujours po tique, l'auteur a voulu montrer comment le travail du dessin dans l'oeuvre de Nicolas de Sta l sous-tend la couleur. Le peintre est en effet l'un des plus grands coloristes de la peinture du XXe si cle, et nous d couvrons ici l'importance de son travail de dessinateur. L'entrelacement des noirs et des blancs a aussi permis d'exalter la lumi re au coeur du pigment. Devant un tableau, Anne de Sta l fait surgir ses souvenirs, cons quence de l' motion esth tique re ue. L'ouvrage est richement illustr , et la fille de l'artiste nous livre un texte la fois po tique et personnel enrichi de lettres et d' crits du peintre, nous permettant de red couvrir l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de Nicolas de Sta l.‎

Ainsworth, curator emerita at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and former adjunct professor at Barnard College, whose work as a scholar, curator, and teacher has profoundly impacted the study of early northern European painting. Contributions by leading specialists from museums and academia, including former interns and fellows, reflect Ainsworth?s emphasis on the centrality of the object and on the interdisciplinary methods of technical art history, while also paying homage to the variety of Ainsworth?s research interests as a whole. The essays explore topics such as the working methods of individual artists, workshop practice, artistic collaboration, and patronage across a range of media?mainly painting, but also manuscript illumination, drawing, tapestry, sculpture, and stained glass.

‎UITBUNDIG VERLEDEN De Bourgondi rs door Romantische ogen‎

‎, Snoeck Publishers , 2021 PB+, 280 x 250 mm, 160 pages , 132 illustraties. NL edition. fine. ISBN 9789461616777.‎

‎Teruggrijpen naar het verleden, het is iets van alle tijden. Net als vandaag was geschiedenis ook in de negentiende eeuw populair. Het is de eeuw waarin verschillende nieuwe naties ontstaan en andere zich sterker gaan profileren op het internationale toneel. Tijdens de Romantiek groeit een hernieuwde belangstelling voor de Bourgondische hertogen, van Filips de Stoute tot de roemrijke keizer Karel. Zo treden de vijftiende- en zestiende-eeuwse Bourgondische vorsten in verschillende Europese landen opnieuw op de voorgrond. Als de aartsvaders van de Lage Landen verschijnen ze op schilderijen, in de literatuur en beeldhouwkunst. Maar het beeld van de vorsten verschilt sterk van land tot land: wat vertellen ze ons over de negentiende-eeuwse visie op het verleden? En over de manier waarop wij vandaag omgaan met onze geschiedenis? In Uitbundig Verleden. De Bourgondi rs door Romantische ogen kijk je vanuit een hedendaagse context, met een kritische blik en een veranderend perspectief naar het verleden. De ondergrondse exporuimte van Museum Hof van Busleyden doet aan als eennegentiende-eeuws monumentaal museum en toont met een veertigtal werken het verlangen naar de grootsheid van weleer. Museum Hof van Busleyden - 27.11.2021 - 27.02.2022. Uitbundig Verleden is een samenwerking tussen Museum Hof van Busleyden en het Monast re royal de Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse (Frankrijk).‎

‎Urban Practices. Repopulating the Ancient City‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xii + 172 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, 1 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503584614.‎

‎Summary Cities in the ancient world, much like in the modern era, were not simply a locus for population and a hub for social, cultural, and economic activity, but were themselves the products of urban practices. This volume draws together two often disparate fields - urban space and human practice - to explore the actors and actions that underpinned ancient cities and to offer unique insights into the lives of those who dwelt there. Placing particular emphasis on social practice theory, the contributions gathered together in this book seek to analyse the development of the city, especially public urban spaces, from the archaic period up to Roman Imperial times. A key focus is on infrastructure, public spaces used for politics (particularly the Forum Romanum), and the role of sanctuaries and the way in which they were shaped by cult activity. Through this unique approach, this volume is able, for the first time, to bring the inhabitants of ancient cities to the fore, and in doing so, to offer key insights into the development of spatial routines, the interaction of these routines with the material setting of a city, and the way in which cities themselves played an important role in shaping the people and practices within them.

‎A full-career retrospective on the work of Vivian Maier, bringing together a selection of key works from throughout her life and career. When Vivian Maier's archive was discovered in Chicago in 2007, the photography community gained an immense and singular talent. Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009, but is now the subject of films and books, and recognized as one of the great American photographers of the 20th century. Born in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life. It was during her years as a nanny that she took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously famous. Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films. Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel Meyerowitz. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's work. With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Bl mlinger, this thorough look at Maier's entire archive is organized thematically in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits, gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms. A valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier's work, this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images.‎
