‎Ivory Crisis‎

‎, Chatto & Windus, 1983 Hardcover, 184 pages, ENG, 300 x 235 x 20 mm, dustjacket, good condition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780701126339.‎

‎This challenging treatise on African elephants and the ivory trade remains an important and groundbreaking work in its field. Foremost authority on the world's ivory trade, a leading expert on the management of elephants, a former game warden, farmer and hunter, Ian Parker draws on 25 years of field experience in Africa to illuminate the key issues behind conservation today. His conclusions are startling. The traditional villains -- the poachers and the ivory traders -- are not as responsible for the plight of elephants in many African countries as is generally alleged. The fault lies much more with the governments of those countries where game laws are outdated and corruption is commonplace, and with the international conservation bodies which, inept and insufficient as they often are, have much to answer for, no matter how good the cause they are serving. Ian Parker's message is both carefully considered and deeply disturbing. If there is an ivory crisis (and even the pessimists admit that there are over a million elephants in Africa today), it is the activities of the conservationists themselves which constitute the main danger to the survival of the African elephant.‎

‎In the annals of Native American history, there have been some formidable women who fought fearlessly in battle, served as committed leaders, undertook dangerous journeys and saved lives. Here are five of the most powerful and influential Native American women of all time: Nanye-hi (Nancy Ward): Beloved Woman of the Cherokee Nanye-hi was born into the Cherokee Wolf clan circa 1738. In 1755, she stood by her husband during a fight against the Creeks, chewing the lead for bullets in order to provide his ammunition with deadly ridges. When her husband was fatally shot, Nanye-hi grabbed a rifle, rallied her fellow fighters and entered the battle herself. With her on their side, the Cherokee won the day. These actions led to Nanye-hi being named Ghighau (Beloved Woman) of the Cherokee, a powerful position whose duties included leading the Women?s Council and sitting on the Council of Chiefs. Nanye-hi also took part in treaty talks (to the surprise of male colonists when they were on the other side of the bargaining table).‎

‎In een wereld die meer dan ooit aan verandering onderhevig is, laat Max Temmerman in troostrijke en hoopvolle gedichten zien dat er talloze schuilplekken bestaan tegen de ongenadig voortsnellende tijd: in deze bundel worden tuinen evengoed bewoond als huizen, afzonderlijke kamers evenals hele straten, de minieme oppervlakte van een auto tot en met het karkas van een ganse stad. Immers, wie gelooft in de poëzie van kamers, meubels en gereedschappen vindt zowel beschutting in de beslotenheid van een besteklade als in een eindeloze sterrenhemel.‎

‎FERNAND LÉGER : AND THE ROOFTOPS OF PARIS‎

‎, Tijdsbeeld Uitgeverij/ éditeur, 2022 Hardcover, 103 pages, ENG, 305 x 235 x 12 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9789490880408.‎

‎Between 1909 and 1914, Fernand Léger developed into one of the foremost Cubists. An important role in that development was played by a series of paintings he made in 1911-1912, the so-called Fumées sur les toits (Smoke Over Rooftops). These works depict the view from his Paris studio, where he looked out over rooftops with plumes of smoke drifting above. He seized upon the contrast between soft, ever changing clouds of smoke and hard, angular architectural masses as a means of paving the way to a more abstract and radical artistic language. Several years ago a previously unknown painting was discovered on the back of a canvas by Léger in the Triton Collection Foundation. That discovery prompted this publication, which also examines the influence exerted on Léger by such artists as Cézanne, Picasso and Braque. In cooperation with the Triton Collection Foundation and the Kröller-Müller Museum‎

‎Lucinda Devlin :The Omega Suites‎

‎, Steidl Publishers, 2001 Hardcover, 80 pages / seiten , ENG / D, 285 x 255 x 12 mm, New condition ! , images in colour, dustjacket, . ISBN 9783882437591.‎

‎During the early 1990s, Lucinda Devlin systematically took photographs of gas chambers, injection rooms, electric chairs, and death row cells in the rural United States. She entitled the resulting series The Omega Suites, alluding to the final letter of the Greek alphabet as a metaphor for the finality of execution. More than just a critique of the death penalty, Devlin's austere, haunting images extend that critique to an American society in which 70 percent of the citizens support the death penalty. In her photographs, death row and the death chambers are symbolic of American culture and the American psyche. An electric chair in one image, placed in the center of a room amid emptiness and clinical sterility, resembles nothing so much as a throne. Elsewhere, the somber cross-like stretcher used for lethal injections invokes the execution as religious ritual, complete with a captivated audience. Icy and compelling, these photographs paint a clearly defined picture of a world we often choose not to see.‎

‎Portrait in the Renaissance‎

‎, Princeton University Press, 1979 Paperback, 348 pages, ENG, 255 x 190 x 20 mm, in good condition, illustrated in b/w, some spots on the outside ( tracks of time). ISBN 9780691018256.‎

‎A major account of Renaissance portraiture by one of the twentieth century's most eminent art historians The Portrait in the Renaissance provides an unprecedented look at two centuries of experiment in portraiture during the Renaissance. In this compelling book, John Pope-Hennessy shows how the Renaissance cult of individuality brought with it a demand that the features of the individual be perpetuated. This concept was first manifested in the portraits that fill the great Florentine fresco cycles and led, later in the fifteenth century, to the creation of the independent portrait by such artists as Botticelli, Antonio Pollaiuolo, Giovanni Bellini, and Antonello da Messina. Pope-Hennessy goes on to describe the process by which Titian and the great artists of the High Renaissance transformed the portrait from a record of appearance into an analysis of character.‎

‎Rédigés par des spécialistes français, anglais et vietnamiens, cet ouvrage traite des arts anciens du Viêt-Nam, de l'apogée de Dông Son - aux alentours des Ve-IIIe siècles avant notre ère - aux céramiques de la dynastie Lê (1428-1527). Le riche ensemble des bronzes de Dông Son dresse un panorama représentatif de l'âge du bronze au nord du Viêt-Nam et en périphérie, tandis que les belles pièces de l'époque Gao Chi témoignent de l'intense activité artistique sous l'occupation chinoise du Ier siècle avant notre ère au IIIe siècle de notre ère. Un choix de céramiques diversifiées permet de suivre l'essor de cet art sur plus de 1 500 ans et illustre à merveille l'épanouissement culturel et le raffinement atteints sous les dynasties nationales Ly (1009-1225), Trân (1226-1400) et Lê. Influencés par les formes, les décors et les techniques de la Chine, les potiers vietnamiens sauront créer une tradition originale au charme empreint de douceur. Cet ouvrage, qui réunit les ?uvres des collections du musée national des Arts asiatiques - Guimet à Paris, du musée Barbier-Mueller de Genève et des pièces issues de collections. privées suisses, est un instrument de référence et de plaisir pour tous ceux qui veulent découvrir la culture de l'ancien Viêt-Nam‎

‎, Yale, 2016 Hardcover, 108 pages, ENG, 230 x 230 x 19 mm, New edition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780300223736.‎

‎This revelatory publication features a selection of beautifully reproduced images from the sketchbooks of Lucian Freud (1922-2011), one of the world?s greatest realist painters. Most of the sketches ? which include works in pencil, pastel, and watercolor from across the artist?s long career ? are published here for the first time. These fascinating images extend our understanding of Freud?s work and demonstrate the scrutiny he brought to his subjects. The sketchbooks, now in the archive of the National Portrait Gallery, London, include portraits of Freud?s family members, friends, and lovers. Designs for book covers, images of his beloved dogs and horses, landscapes, and interiors appear among nudes, still lifes, and several sketches that relate to major works. Around and between the drawings are Freud?s annotations and jottings ? appointments, racing tips, notes, musings ? which, with startling immediacy, provide a glimpse into the working life of one of the 20th century?s most important artists. The book includes an insightful essay by Martin Gayford, who sat for portraits by Freud and knew him well, and an illustrated chronology of the artist?s life.

‎In Tableaux Vivants, this genre master takes us through an elaborate series of conceptual and imaginative mise en scene, drawing the viewer into a fantasy-meets-reality dreamworld of theatrical environments where the perception of taboo is turned on its head. In his foreword, Rick Wester writes: "Tony Ward's photographs are nearly apolitical, but thrive on liberty. In a world seemingly overobsessed with sex, Ward's imagery is a dream pool, reflecting not only the deep-seated fantasies of the auteur but also the narcissistic and mischievous wanderings of his players." Witty, ironic, irreverent, sly or outrageous, these grandly staged, surreal settings are luxuriantly indulgent scenes of erotica. With his playfully daring and cleverly satirical nods to social, religious, cultural, and historical ideas and icons, Ward has created a boldly fabulous montage of erotic tableaux.‎

‎Voor de tentoonstelling Vrij belangrijke foto's hebben twee Hermans-kenners uit de bijna 15.000 foto's een selectie van tientallen foto's gemaakt, waarvan het merendeel niet eerder is getoond. Sommige foto's zijn zelfs door Hermans nooit gezien, omdat ze zijn gereproduceerd van negatieven die hij zelf niet afdrukte. In de tentoonstelling is een mix van vintages afdrukken en nieuwe prints te zien. De titel van de tentoonstelling verwijst naar Hermans' archief. In het mapje Vrij belangrijke foto's zat een bonte verzameling van 57 afdrukken: portretten van Hermans zelf, zijn ouders en andere familieleden, vrienden plus foto's van affiches, de Arc de Triomphe, huizen in Wenen en het geboortehuis van Nietzsche. *** Als afsluiting van het 'Hermansjaar' 2021-2022, waarin wordt gevierd dat de Nederlandse schrijver Willem Frederik Hermans honderd jaar geleden werd geboren, presenteert het Fotomuseum Den Haag een expositie ingericht met door hem gemaakte foto's. Gelijktijdig verschijnt Willem Frederik Hermans - Vrij belangrijke foto's met een verse selectie uit zijn fotografische oeuvre. Het boek en de tentoonstelling kwamen tot stand onder auspiciën van het Willem Frederik Hermans Instituut en met in-stemming van de Erven Hermans. Het in principe gesloten archief-Hermans is daarvoor eenmalig opengesteld voor de gastconservatoren. In 1957, toen zijn roman De donkere kamer van Damokles niet wilde vlotten, heeft Hermans overwogen zich om te scholen tot fotograaf. Hij kocht een professionele camera, mat zich de firmanaam 'Persfotobedrijf W.F. Hermans' aan en ging in de leer bij Nico Jesse, van wie hij ook een oude Leica overnam. Daarmee sloeg hij fanatiek aan het fotograferen in Groningen, Amsterdam en Parijs. Uiteindelijk kreeg de Leica een sleutelrol in zijn roman. Piet Schreuders en Bram Oostveen bekeken alle 4.500 zwartwitfoto's en 9.829 kleurendia's in het archief-Hermans en maakten een selectie waarvan het merendeel niet eerder is gepubliceerd. Sommige foto's zijn zelfs door Hermans nooit gezien, omdat ze zijn gereproduceerd van negatieven die hij zelf niet afdrukte. Met tekstbijdragen van Wim van Sinderen, conservator van het Fotomuseum Den Haag, Piet Schreuders en W.F. Hermans. In zijn inleiding plaatst Wim van Sinderen W.F. Hermans in de traditie van de Nederlandse fotografie. Piet Schreuders geeft achtergrondinformatie over de gekozen foto's in het essay 'De verlegen fotograaf' en W.F. Hermans geeft een inkijk in zijn visie op fotografie. Bram Oostveen werkt bij het onderzoeksinstituut Huygens ING en was nauw betrokken bij de totstandkoming van de 24-delige Volledige Werken van Willem Frederik Hermans.‎
