‎E. Vanneufville;‎ ‎Heliand. L'evangile de la Mer du Nord,‎ ‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Paperback, 488 pages., 14 x 21 cm.Languages : French. ISBN 9782503528663.‎ ‎Ce poeme germanique de pres de 6000 vers a ete compose entre 822 et 840, vraisemblablement vers 825, dans les premieres annees du regne de Louis le Pieux, par un erudit chretien, sans doute compagnon du Frison Liudger. Ce dernier etait le continuateur de l??uvre, en pays frison et saxon, des evangelisateurs anglo-saxons du VIIIeme siecle, dont Willehad, lequel avait succede a Boniface, tue en 754 a Dokkum alors qu?il poursuivait l?evangelisation entreprise par Willibrord. La langue utilisee, qualifiee de Vieux-Saxon par les specialistes, etait donc tout a fait familiere a son auteur. Celui-ci, soucieux d?assurer le succes de l?Evangile dans les c?urs a la suite de la dure conquete par Charlemagne de la Frise Occidentale et du pays saxon, usa d?une langue connue des peuples riverains de la Mer du Nord au debut du IXeme siecle. Surtout, il apporta au texte de l?Evangile, base sur des manuscrits et travaux provenant de Fulda, abbaye fondee par Boniface, des adaptations d?ordre sociologique propres a susciter l?adhesion des peuples rudes et fiers de ces contrees nordiques. En ce sens, le Heliand n?est pas seulement une reprise de l?Evangile : il est aussi le document particulier par lequel les evangelisateurs des pays riverains de la Mer du Nord font entrer le lecteur dans la societe des nouveaux convertis d?entre Weser, Ems et Lauwers, fraichement vaincus et soumis par les Francs. La presente traduction, en prose, est accompagnee du texte germanique tel qu?edite a Halle en 1878 par Eduard Sievers, et de commentaires et annotations. Elle est precedee d?une introduction historique et d'un lexique de termes empruntes au Heliand et compares a quatre langues germaniques proches, avec traduction en francais.‎ Bookseller reference : 40106	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €55.00 Buy

‎I. Larsson‎ ‎Pragmatic Literacy and the Medieval Use of the Vernacular The Swedish Example.‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2009 Hardcover. XIV 250 p., 5 b/w ill. 23 colour ill., 2 b/w tables, 2 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Swedish, Old Swedish, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503527475.‎ ‎Between 1150 and 1400 Sweden was transformed from a society which was predominantly reliant on oral communication into a society which increasingly deployed writing. Latin, the traditional language of government and records, was gradually replaced by vernacular Swedish. The watershed moment in this process was the drafting of national and town laws in the 1350s, an event which established Swedish as the language of the judiciary and judicial records. From this period written documentation was gradually integrated into legal procedure.Pragmatic Literacy argues that the Crown, the expanding bureaucracy, the editing of the laws in Swedish, and the laws? demands for written documentation in everyday transactions were the main driving forces behind the development in medieval Sweden of lay literacy for practical purposes. The book demonstrates how the early use of writing by the royal administration and the writing of provincial laws in Swedish created ?centres of literacy? from which literate ways of thinking and acting spread both geographically and socially. It further illustrates how literacy moved beyond the confines of the clerical elite, by exploring how different members of the laity adopted pragmatic literacy for private purposes. Pragmatic Literacy thus traces the history of pragmatic literacy in Sweden through the lens of the judicial and administrative archive.‎ Bookseller reference : 44853	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €117.60 Buy
‎E. Salter, H. Wicker‎ ‎Vernacularity in England and Wales, c. 1300-1550.‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2011 Hardcover. VI 335 p., 11 b/w ill., 1 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503528830.‎ ‎Studies of the vernacular in the period 1300-1550 have tended to focus exclusively upon language, to the exception of the wider vernacular culture within which this was located. In a period when the status of English and ideas of Englishness were transforming in response to a variety of social, political, cultural and economic factors, the changing nature and perception of the vernacular deserves to be explored comprehensively and in detail. Vernacularity in England and Wales examines the vernacular in and across literature, art, and architecture to reach a more inclusive understanding of the nature of late medieval vernacularity. <br>The essays in this collection draw upon a wide range of source material, including buildings, devotional and educational literature, and parliamentary and civic records, in order to expand and elaborate our idea of the vernacular. Each contributor addresses central ideas about the nature and identity of the vernacular and how we appraise it, involving questions about nationhood, popularity, the commonalty, and the conflict and conjunction of the vernacular with the non-vernacular. These notions of vernacularity are situated within studies of reading practices, heresy, translation, gentry identity, seditious speech, and language politics. By considering the nature of vernacularity, these essays explore whether it is possible to perceive a common theory of vernacular use and practice at this time.‎ Bookseller reference : 44856	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €78.40 Buy
‎S. Rankovic, L. Melve, E. Mundal‎ ‎Along the Oral-Written Continuum Types of Texts, Relations and their Implications<br>‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2010 Hardcover. VI 484 p., 34 b/w ill., 17 b/w tables, 3 b/w line art, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503534077.‎ ‎Twenty essays on the continuing and renewed relevance to medieval studies of Ruth Finnegan's concept of the orality-literacy continuum.<br>Ever since its introduction in the 1970s, Ruth Finnegan?s notion of the oral-written, or the oral-literate, continuum has served as one of the most effective means of dispelling the dichotomous understanding of the two principal media of communication in the Middle Ages. However, while often casually invoked, the concept has never been made a focus of study in its own right. The present volume is an attempt to place the oral-written continuum at the heart of discussion as an object of a head-on theoretical investigation, as a backdrop to distinct processes of acquisition of literacy in different European regions, and, indeed, as a tool for navigating the rugged landscape of verbal forms, exploring the complexity of oral-literary interrelationships that they manifest. The articles probe the concept with a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, span diverse texts and genres, and involve a range of European cultural contexts, with special emphasis on Scandinavia and Northern Europe, but also reaching out to various other corners of the continent: from France, the Netherlands and England in the West, over Germany, Bohemia and Poland in the central region, to Serbia and Bosnia in the Southeast.‎ Bookseller reference : 44861	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €117.60 Buy

‎B. van den Abeele‎ ‎litterature cynegetique‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1996 Hardcover. 89 p., 7 ill., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: French, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503360751.‎ ‎Medieval hunting literature contains a rich tradition of didactic texts on falconry and hunting. Treatises on falconry are known since the tenth century, at first in Latin, and since the 13th century onwards mainly in the vernacular. This is also the time when the first treatises on hunting make their appearance, although they are rarer than the treatises on falconry. This publication of the Typologie presents a survey of the medieval literature on falconry and on hunting, in Latin and in the various vernacular languages, points out some directions for future research, and discusses the critical problems. Finally, the historical value of the genre is presented with regard to various fields: knowledge of medieval environment, study of material culture, economic and social history, lexicography, literary history, iconography (seven miniatures are published in an appendix), history of science and technology.<br>La litterature cynegetique medievale forme un ensemble diversifie de textes didactiques relatifs a la chasse. Les traites de fauconnerie, attestes des le Xe siecle en Occident, se diffusent en latin, puis en langue vulgaire a partir du XIIIe siecle. A la meme periode apparaissent les premiers traites de venerie, qui resteront en nombre bien plus limite. Ce fascicule de la Typologie presente un tour d'horizon de la litterature cynegetique medievale, tant latine que vernaculaire, indique quelques directions de recherche et desiderata, reflechit aux problemes critiques qui se posent. Enfin, l'apport historique du genre est evoque: connaissance du milieu naturel, etude de la culture materielle, histoire economique et sociale, lexicographie, histoire litteraire, iconographie (sept illustrations sont jointes au texte), histoire des sciences et des techniques.<br>Die mittelalterliche Jagdliteratur bildet eine komplexe Gattung von didaktischen Texten, die ihre grosste Blute im Spatmittelalter gekannt hat.

Aus der gleichen Zeit stammen die ersten Traktate uber Grosswild, deren Zahl aber vergleichsweise immer gering bleibt. Diese Lieferung der Typologie bietet einen uberblick uber die mittelalterliche Jagdliteratur in den verschiedenen Sprachen, deutet einige Forschungsrichtungen und Desiderata an, bespricht die Probleme der Textkritik und der Auswertung. Schliesslich wird der historiche Gehalt der Gattung nach verschiedenen Gebieten behandelt: Kenntnis der Natur, Realienkunde, Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, Lexicographie, Literatur, Ikonographie (sieben Farbbilder sind dem Text beigefugt), Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften und der Technik.‎ Bookseller reference : 45006	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €28.34 Buy
‎A. Barratt‎ ‎Anne Bulkeley and her Book, Fashioning Female Piety in Early Tudor England‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2009 Hardcover. XII 276 p., 6 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Latin, Middle English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503520711.‎ ‎This study is focused on BL MS Harley 494, a small manuscript book which can be dated between 1532 and 1535 and which has many of the features of a preces privatae volume, or private prayer book. It contains prayers in English and Latin but also a number of brief devotional treatises in English. MS Harley 494 possesses two more features of interest: it belonged to a Hampshire widow, Anne Bulkeley (and possibly later to her daughter Anne, a nun at Amesbury Priory); and it emerged from a Birgittine textual community. Barratt edits and annotates the complete manuscript to provide an accessible and informative edition of this little known manuscript. However, Anne Bulkeley and her Book is not a conventional edition of a late Middle English text. Rather, Barratt carefully contextualizes the manuscript within its historical background just before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and meticulously investigates the varied, and often unusual, sources of many of the individual items in the book. In addition, the discussion encompasses several related manuscripts (principally Lambeth Palace MS 3600 and the so-called Burnet Psalter (Aberdeen University Library MS 25)). This broad focus enables the volume to examine not only the evolution of the manuscript as a whole, but also to answer wider questions of its owner?s identity, her family connections, and her (and her book?s) place in literary, cultural, and religious history.‎ Bookseller reference : 45174	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €95.20 Buy
‎R. L. Schoff‎ ‎Reformations, Three Medieval Authors in Manuscript and Movable Type‎ ‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2007 Hardcover. XVI 231 p., 4 b/w ill., 1 b/w tables, 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503523163.‎ ‎This volume discusses the key shift from manuscript to print culture in the history of books, taking The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman as models of the way in which a medieval text's unique tradition influenced its transition from manuscript to print. The forces of the Reformation era did not produce the same effect across the varied textual legacy of the Middle Ages. Every text that made the transition from manuscript to print brought with it a set of concerns, a tendency to address a particular readership in particular ways, a physical presence developed in manuscript culture, all of which might shape the pathways by which a text might arrive in print, and what it might look like when it got there. This study follows The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman from their circulation in manuscript to their presentation in print, in order to track how each of them survived the metamorphosis of the relationship between writers and readers as the new technology was introduced. Taken together, the three case studies demonstrate to scholars of any medieval literature the variety of possible impacts made when texts composed in manuscript culture were prepared for printing. The great force exerted by the technological and cultural developments of the English Reformation, not least the more centralized legislative regulation of the press, has long been central to the study of the history of books. This volume takes into account the ways in which individual textual traditions pushed back or accelerated the forces of early modern reform, producing their own plural reformations.‎ Bookseller reference : 45176	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €78.40 Buy

ISBN 9782503530468.‎ ‎The Vernon Manuscript, the largest and arguably the most important Middle English anthology, is examined in its entirety in this ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study. This volume addresses important questions in late medieval book production and the history of the medieval book through original and substantial studies of one of the most remarkable surviving examples. The Vernon Manuscript, carefully copied and lavishly decorated around 1390-1400 for pious users, is famous as the largest and arguably the most important Middle English anthology. Its sheer size and conservation concerns mean that up to now it has been little studied as a book. The essays in this volume exploit for the first time the mass of new data generated by the Vernon Manuscript Project. Specialists in art history, bibliography, codicology, historical linguistics, and palaeography have been commissioned to interrogate this material from their various disciplinary perspectives. The result is a ground-breaking interdisciplinary volume which sheds new light on an iconic medieval book and on a transitional period of innovation and experimentation in vernacular book production.‎ Bookseller reference : 45177	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €123.20 Buy

ISBN 9782503536835.‎ ‎How do the best editorial procedures of the past get transmitted to the future? In this volume a distinguished line-up of hugely experienced editors, and younger scholars actively grapple with these issues. Editing as an academic mode of work has had a variable ?press? - it is often seen as just plumbing. But without editions no historian of whatever critical persuasion could operate. Texts that are not edited are effectively invisible. The advent of electronic means of text production has also raised new possibilities and new problems that need to be openly considered rather than ignored. The papers in this volume reflect those concerns, and explore the ways forward. How do the best editorial procedures of the past get transmitted to the future? A distinguished line-up of experienced editors and younger scholars actively grappling with these issues reflect on their engagement with the challenges of textual theory and editorial practice. No single solution emerges as applicable to all texts and for all editions; the individual characteristics of each text and its transmission, together with the intended audience of each edition, emerge as primary areas for consideration.‎ Bookseller reference : 45178	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €151.20 Buy

ISBN 9782503528984.‎ ‎This book is a collection of medieval English culinary recipes which have not been edited before. Some of them come from brief collections which have not been previously published, or are found in isolation or very small groups in manuscripts which do not contain such collections. Others come from collections which have been used, or viewed, primarily for collation, but which contain other recipes which had not yet been noted. It was the author's object to gather together all the recipes which had not been edited and published, or are not currently being edited by others, to make the record of English recipes of this period as complete as possible. The volume concludes with a supplement to the recently published Concordance of English Recipes: Thirteenth Through Fifteenth Centuries, adding all the "new" recipes to that Concordance, except for a few which are so fragmentary as not to deserve listing.‎ Bookseller reference : 45181	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €67.20 Buy

ISBN 9782503540825.‎ ‎This book offers the reader a textual comparison of the 14th-century French Second Lucidaire and the late Middle English translation Lucydarye. The Lucydarye is a late Middle English manual of popular instruction, largely religious in its orientation, though including lengthy discussions of witchcraft, demonology, and meteorological phenomena. There is a strong interest in pastoral instruction. Set in the form of a dialogue between a magister and his discipulus, it is an over-literal translation of a fourteenth-century French text known as the Second Lucidaire, itself a free adaptation of the Latin Elucidarium, traditionally attributed to Honorius Augustodunensis (Honorius of Autun). The translation is the work of one Andrew Chertsey. The Middle English text, edited here for the first time (from a Wynkyn de Worde print), bears striking similarities to other, popular works of an encyclopaedic nature, notably Sydrak and Bokkus and the Pricke of Conscience. Equally, there are many points in common with the sermon literature of the time. The Lucydarye is printed alongside the French source so as to allow the reader both to appreciate points of obscurity in the text and to observe Chertsey's translation technique. A discussion of the relationship between the Lucydarye and the various versions of the Second Lucidaire throws some light on the complicated textual tradition of the French prints‎ Bookseller reference : 45188	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €66.80 Buy

ISBN 9782503528465.‎ ‎Nella letteratura tedesca medievale la figura di Pietro assume un ruolo primario per tutto il medioevo fin dalle origini. Gli stretti rapporti che univano la Chiesa tedesca a Roma ed ai suoi pontefici, il riconoscimento del primato petrino e papale avevano portato a considerare il patrocinio di san Pietro superiore a quello di qualsiasi altro santo, all?affermazione ed espansione del culto dell?apostolo, alla sua celebrazione in una molteplicita di testi di vario genere. Questa monografia si propone di ricostruire l?immagine di Pietro attraverso l?analisi di testimonianze letterarie in volgare ?tedesco?, composte nell?arco di tempo compreso tra i secoli IX-XIV. Nei testi della fase piu antica, il tentativo di conciliare i due sistemi di valori, cristiano e germanico, indusse a connotare le prerogative con elementi che descrivono il rapporto fra Gesu e i discepoli secondo i termini della Gefolgschaft germanica. Nei testi del periodo medio si mettono in rilievo la funzione ecclesiale e la trasmissione del potere di legare e sciogliere da Pietro al papa, ai vescovi ed ai sacerdoti tutti. Permane la tendenza a giustificare i rinnegamenti di Pietro, ?necessari? per mostrare il legame inscindibile tra perdono e pentimento, per dare speranza all?uomo circa l?incommensurabilita della misericordia divina. Si affianca, inoltre, la figura del discepolo con quelle dell?apostolo, del taumaturgo e del martire. Il libro fornisce un contributo essenziale alla ricostruzione delle modalita con cui la complessa figura di san Pietro venne recepita in area tedesca, mettendo cosi in luce aspetti della sua personalita finora trascurati.‎ Bookseller reference : 45613	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €48.16 Buy

ISBN 9781859842171.‎ ‎Terry Eagleton is one of the most important - and most radical - theorists writing today. His witty and acerbic attacks on contemporary culture and society are read and enjoyed by many, and his studies of literature are regarded as classics of contemporary criticism. In this new edition of his groundbreaking treatise on literary theory, Eagleton seeks to develop a sophisticated relationship between Marxism and literary criticism. Ranging across the key works of Raymond Williams, Lenin, Trostsky, Brecht, Adorno, Benjamin, Lukacs and Sartre, he develops a nuanced critique of traditional literary criticism, while producing a compelling theoretical account of ideology. Eagleton uses this perspective to offer fascinating analyses of canonical writers, including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence. However, he distances himself from a simplistic application of Marxist categories and shows how ideology can play a productive and subversive role in their work.‎ Bookseller reference : 60688	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €12.50 Buy

Mecca is at the centre and a highly sophisticated longitude and latitude grid enables the user to determine the direction and distance to Mecca for anywhere in the world between Andalusia and China. Prior to the discovery of these maps it was thought that such cartographic grids were conceived in Europe ca. 1910. This richly-illustrated book presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes the two world-maps in detail. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad.‎ Bookseller reference : 61421	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €375.00 Buy

ISBN 9780691039121.‎ ‎This large room is one of the most famous of the Uffizi, being displayed some of the greatest works by Sandro Botticelli. Among the many paintings, two have entered the collective visual imagination as the essence of the Renaissance: The Birth of Venus (c. 1484) and The Spring (c. 1482). These masterpieces are permeated by mysterious associations not completely deciphered yet. Botticelli moved in the Neo-Platonic Academy where Lorenzo de? Medici, called the Magnificient, had brought together the intellectual elite of the late XV century Florence. The Greek philosopher Plato came back to the fore during the Renaissance, thanks to the numerous translations of ancient books. Neoplatonism tried to blend Plato?s philosophy with Christianity. According to this new way of conceiving reality, man is free to choose God and matter and spiritual uplifting can only be achieved through love, harmony and ideal beauty. During these years, Botticelli ?translated? the ideals of the Neoplatonic circle, with his distinctive refined and elegant style, in his paintings. Below is a beautiful and original composition by Thomas Schoenberger and vocal rendition by Marnie Breckenridge dedicated to Botticelli?s Annunciation, which you will also be able to admire in this large room.‎ Bookseller reference : 61451	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €35.00 Buy

ISBN 9783858817112.‎ ‎Salvador Dal 's surrealist masterworks are admired worldwide for their eccentric metaphors. Far lesser known, though, are his fascinating writings, where he occupies himself with verve and in bewilderingly unrefined style with the human body and sexuality. The French art critic and writer Catherine Millet has studied Dal 's artistic oeuvre and his writings for years. Her essay is the expression of a very personal reading of his self-reflecting texts. This pivotal book explains Dal 's influence on his contemporary artist colleagues and reveals the narcissism, the constraints and the visual inventiveness of the most famous - and the most notorious - of the surrealists. The text is completed by rarely published photographs and paintings by Dal and others that illustrate Millet's ideas.‎ Bookseller reference : 61585	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €8.00 Buy

ISBN 9783829604864.‎ ‎Volume 2 of "Cy Twombly Catalogue Raisonn of Drawings" covers the very fruitful years between 1956 and 1960. Still a resident of New York in 1956, Twombly moves to Italy in early 1957 where he will stay, with intervals, until the end of his life. His first shows in Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome, Galleria del Cavallino, Venice, and Galleria del Naviglio, Milan, make him well-known in European avant-garde circles. In the summer of 1959 he rents an apartment in the village of Sperlonga at the Tyrrhenian Sea between Rome and Naples. Here he creates his sequence "Poems to the Sea" influenced by Mallarm 's poetry. The year 1959 is also marked by the artist's marriage and the birth of his son Alessandro in December. His work is increasingly dealing with color, yielding most beautiful colored drawings. The influence of street graffiti, too, is evident in his work incorporating explicit sexual allusions and jokes. At the end of 1960 Cy Twombly has his first solo exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York.‎ Bookseller reference : 61695	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €150.00 Buy

The title paraphrases American artist James McNeill Whistler, who said, "Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the the surface of a pane of glass." Catalog is accompanied by these articles: Painting Softly, An Introduction / Marc Simpson -- Whistler, Modernism, and the Creative Afflatus / Marc Simpson -- George Inness, Softness, and the Vapor Barrier / Leo G. Mazow -- True Illusions in Soft Paintings / Cody Hartley -- Materials for Immateriality / Joyce Hill Stoner -- The "Inaction Painters" and Their Moment / Michael J. Lewis -- Reflections on "The Color of Mood" / Wanda M. Corn. Simply stated, an exquisite book, and one that is worthy of any coffee table or personal library. Through an innovative manner of handling paint, a group of American artists around 1900 created deceptively simple canvases that convey images of shimmering transience, visions suggested rather than delineated. Focusing on this singular aesthetic characteristic, this catalogue explores this painterly phenomenon. This copy was once owned by interior and garden designer Henriette Suhr and carries her bookplate at front.‎ Bookseller reference : 61745	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €295.00 Buy

ISBN 9783775741644.‎ ‎Sean Scully (born 1945) is among the greatest abstract painters of our age. He is also one of the most outspoken. Since the late 1960s, Scully's visual expressiveness has been matched by a verbal dynamism that is no less arresting than his art. Varying widely in form from brief reflections to essay-length meditations on artists such as Van Gogh, Morandi and Rothko, Scully's writings are distinguished by a brutal lyricism and an effortlessly aphoristic turn of phrase. The nearly 200 texts that comprise this collection provide a unique perspective on one of the most engaging artistic imaginations of the past half-century. Here, readers will discover the effusions of a mind tirelessly wrestling with the profoundest issues of art, cultural history and what it means to be a creator in the contemporary world. The texts are illustrated by images including facsimile reproductions of handwritten pages which also feature drawings.‎ Bookseller reference : 61746	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €50.00 Buy

ISBN 9783933807359.‎ ‎The Irish-born artist Sean Scully has created a painterly oeuvre that, in this volume, reveals itself as vitally important in the ongoing dialogue about painting. Horizontal and vertical stripes are the sole motif in his work. He alternately groups strips of paint together and lays multiple stripes of color over one another, which produce visually irritating clashes. It is a working method that is revealed in the works themselves, in the places where these dueling lines meet; edges tell the story of process. The seemingly endless number of neutral stripes leave these paintings open to a variety of interpretations; they allow the viewers freedom to imprint their own visions on them. Usually in a large format, they recall landscapes, facades, buildings, and ornaments. Along with 254 color reproductions, this book includes a complete biography, several critical essays, and an illuminating interview with the artist. Sean Scully was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1945. Since moving to the United States in the mid-1970s, Scully has taught at major institutions including Princeton University, received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and been the subject of a major touring exhibition organized by the High Museum in Atlanta in 1996. He is represented in virtually every major public collection of 20th-century art.‎ Bookseller reference : 61747	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €110.00 Buy

ISBN 9780500093351.‎ ‎Dramatic depictions of human forms ? writhing painfully, dissolving, wrestling or engulfing one another, seated or in motion ? are ubiquitous in the work of Francis Bacon (1909-1992), one of the most eminent painters of the 20th century. Bacon portrayed the ordeal of the vulnerable, defencelessly exposed body like no other artist of his generation. His individuals are usually alone, isolated from their surroundings, trapped in empty, windowless rooms or behind the bars of cages. Bacon?s figures act on stage-like platforms, doubled over in torment, sliding into formlessness. By wiping, scratching and erasures, Bacon converted the picture surface into a field of perpetual activity ? and in the process, created images of great forcefulness, sensibility and beauty. Bacon found his models not only in the history of art, but also in photographs of athletes, soccer players, or boxers in combat. He also betrayed a strong interest in the photographic sequences through which Eadweard Muybridge, in the later 19th century, registered the phases of a path of animal movement. Such instinctively performed motions disclosed to Bacon actions of an original sensuality which he strove to capture in his pictures.‎ Bookseller reference : 62054	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €39.95 Buy

ISBN 9789493039759.‎ ‎Best known as a painter, Kerry James Marshall has also produced a vast graphic oeuvre that has been seldom seen and rarely documented. This catalog raisonn offers the first public account of his graphic work and is also the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole. One of the most important American contemporary artists, Kerry James Marshall is known for artworks that address the 'crisis of under-representation' of the black figure in the pictorial traditions of the Western world, from museums to comic books. His work has been widely celebrated in major museum retrospectives such as Kerry James Marshall: Painting and Other Stuff (Antwerp, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Madrid) in 2014 and Mastry (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles) in 2017, and through numerous awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. An assiduous worker, he spent his youth acquiring time-honored skills of art - drawing and painting, but also wood engraving and printing. By his mid-twenties, he recalls, 'I could paint in egg tempera... I was good at printmaking. I could do woodcuts, etchings, aquatints. I knew all of those techniques.' Most of his prints have been produced not in professional print workshops, but by the artist, working alone in his studio. They range from images the size of postcards to his 50-foot-long, 12 panel woodcut Untitled (1998-99), to iterations of his ongoing magnum opus, Rythm Mastr. And while some have entered prominent museum collections, many exist only in private collections or the artist's archive and are unknown to the public. This catalog raisonn offers the first public account of these important works and the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole.‎ Bookseller reference : 62336	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €80.00 Buy

ISBN 9781910807576.‎ ‎Britain's industrial age is often perceived through a black-and-white filter as the 'funereal' age of coal pollution and bleak working class slums. This catalogue will dispel that perception, demonstrating how the industrial revolution transformed colour, and focus on the central role it played in art, culture and technology As opposed to approaches favouring a long history of colour, the catalogue focuses on the second half of the 19th century and argues that this was a crucial chromatic turn, which has been significantly ignored by prominent historians of colour and previous publications Several essays in the catalogue offer new research into key chromatic events of the period including the 1862 International Exhibition Accompanies an exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum from 21 September 2023 to 18 February 2024 Contrary to the monochrome vision of Queen Victoria's mourning dresses and the coal-polluted streets of Charles Dickens' London, Victorian Britain was, in fact, a period of new and vivid colours. The Industrial Revolution had transformed the Victorians' perception of colour and, over the course of the second half of the 19th century, it became the key signifier of modern life. Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design charts the Victorians' new attitudes to colour through a multidisciplinary exploration of culture, technology, art and literature. The catalogue explores key 'chromatic' moments that inspired Victorian artists and writers to think anew about the materiality of colour. Rebelling against the bleakness of the industrial present, these figures learned from the sacred colours of the past, the sumptuous colours of the Middle East and Japan and looked forward towards the decadent colours that defined the end of the century.‎ Bookseller reference : 62614	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €32.50 Buy

ISBN 9780192893277.‎ ‎Britain under the reign of the Tudors and Stuarts was a country marked by extraordinary and dramatic change. These were the centuries of the Reformation, civil wars, and two revolutions; a time of upheaval that saw the trials and executions of two monarchs, two wives of a king, and two Archbishops of Canterbury; and a time of religious controversy that resulted in the torture or burning of hundreds of ordinary people. But this was also the time that saw an explosion of literacy and the printed word, transformations in landscapes and townscapes, new forms of wealth, new structures of power, and new forms of political participation that freed minds and broadened horizons in the generations from 1485 to 1689. In this exciting and richly illustrated new work, eighteen leading scholars explore the political, social, religious, and cultural history of this tumultuous time. From the maneuverings of rulers and powerbrokers, both religious and secular, to the profound social and cultural changes that affected the lives of ordinary men and women throughout Britain--indeed, throughout the world--The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor and Stuart Britain offers the most authoritative history of this great age ever published.‎ Bookseller reference : 62633	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €30.00 Buy
‎Murad Ali Baig‎ ‎80 Questions to Understand India : History - Mythology - Religion.‎ ‎, Jaico Publishing House, 2011 Paperback, 224 pages, ENG.,215 x 140 x 20 mm, in Fine Condition. ISBN 9788184952858.‎ ‎Murad Ali Baig questions, not the importance of faith, but the capturing of all religions by the vested interests of professional priests claiming to be God?s sole selling agents leading to distortions, superstitions and religiosity that the founding sages would have abhorred. He analyzes the patrons of religion ? the founding prophets, apostles, priests, rulers and the rich ? and the common people whose offerings make the places of worship so rich. Murad provides interesting insights into how people the world over, especially in India, have been influenced by geography, sources of food, technological change, trade and by political and religious forces. He presents provocative questions and answers allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Writing on religion can be volatile but fortunately he cannot be accused of prejudice when his answers equally impact Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs and others.‎ Bookseller reference : 62736	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €20.00 Buy
‎Duncan Thomson‎ ‎Nicolas Lanier (1588 - 1666) : A Portrait Revealed‎ ‎, The Weiss Gallery, 2010 Paperback, 107 pages, ENG., 305 x 250 x 10 mm, NEW condition ! illustrated in colour / b/w, in a sturdy case. ISBN X.‎ ‎The various essays in this book, which commences with a concise synopsis of Lanier's life by his biographer Michael Wilson, offer many differing and fascinating insights and interpretations of one of the most remarkable paintings ever to be produced in Jacobean England. For an English portrait dated 1613, it is truly without precedent both in its quality and composition and for the window that it opens upon the culture and connoisseurship of the day. Both Sir Roy Strong and Dr Duncan Thomson in their respective essays propose alternative attributions, but as yet a question mark must still remain as to the painting's authorship. Thomson also discusses Lanier's surprisingly extensive iconography, which convincingly confirms the identification that was perceptively first proposed for our portrait by the late Sir Oliver Millar. Further essays by Jeremy Woods, Tim Wilks and Benjamin Hebbert explore the intriguing ancillary elements that give this painting so much of its extraordinary allure, whilst the respective essays of Peter Walls and Katherine Ara explain Lanier's influence on Jacobean court music and the actual painting's techincal construction and preservation.‎ Bookseller reference : 62748	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €45.00 Buy
