Eugene Luther Gore Vidal born Eugene Louis Vidal October 3 1925 - July 31 2012 was an American writer and public intellectual known for his epigrammatic wit erudition and patrician manner. Vidal was bisexual and in his novels and essays interrogated the social and cultural sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. As a novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. His style of narration evoked the time and place of his stories and delineated the psychology of his characters. His third novel The City and the Pillar offended the literary political and moral sensibilities of conservative book reviewers the plot being about a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship. In the historical novel genre Vidal recreated the imperial world of Julian the Apostate r. AD 361-363 in Julian. Julian was the Roman emperor who attempted to re-establish Roman polytheism to counter Christianity. In satire Myra Breckinridge explores the mutability of gender roles and sexual orientation as being social constructs established by social mores. Quentin Fiore February 12 1920 - April 13 2019 was a graphic designer who worked mostly in books. Julian is a 1964 novel by Gore Vidal a work of historical fiction written primarily in the first person dealing with the life of the Roman emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus known to Christians as Julian the Apostate who reigned from 360 to 363 A.D. Julian was the last direct relative of Constantine the Great to take up the purple his father being Constantine's half-brother. As emperor he attempted to destroy the influence of the Christian church. His goals were to bring back firstly the worship of the old Roman pantheon secondly other religions including Judaism he attempts to restore the Jewish Temple and thirdly - with special emphasis upon the growing crisis on Rome's frontiers - Mithraism a mystery religion that had been popular among Roman soldiers. The book takes the form of the correspondence between two Hellenistic pagans Libanius who is considering writing a biography of Julian and Priscus who possesses Julian's personal memoir.

rif. 59436Ludion 2022. Hardcover 240 pages 330 x 240 mm NL / ENG / NEW illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9789493039803. Kunstenaar José Vermeersch 1922-1997 staat bekend om zijn keramieken figuren van heterogene figuren. Hij was echter ook schilder wever en ontwerper en creëerde een rijk oeuvre dat doordrongen is van zijn passie voor mensen dieren en het leven. Dit boek is een eerbetoon aan het ontstaan van het figuratieve werk van Vermeersch en laat aan de hand van een honderdtal beelden en schilderijen zien hoe zijn picturale en keramische oeuvre op een bijzondere manier met elkaar zijn verweven. Het boek gaat dieper in op het onbepaalde en non-binaire karakter van Vermeersch' werk - van gender tot soort mens/dier - en op begrippen als duurzaamheid en breekbaarheid. Presences onthult een reeks ongepubliceerde beelden uit het archief van de kunstenaar waarin we hem aan het werk zien in zijn atelier of bij de twee houtovens die hij zelf bouwde. Het gaat om unieke foto's die getuigen van het geduld en de zorg waarmee Vermeersch zijn sculpturen maakte. Hij liet zijn aarden figuren staan liggen of zitten rustig wachtend op het in werking treden van de alchemie van de natuurelementen. Bij Vermeersch vallen een zekere traagheid op alsook een sterke verbondenheid met een welbepaalde plek en met de natuur. Net daarom lijkt zijn werk meer dan ooit aansluiting te vinden bij de huidige aandacht voor duurzame en autonome productieprocessen. Het boek werd samengesteld door Lilou Vidal en bevat twee nieuwe essays van schrijvers-curatoren Laura McLean-Ferris en Dieter Roelstraete en een tekst van kunstenaar-schrijver Rik Vermeersch zoon van José die het werk van zijn vader door en door kent. //// The artist José Vermeersch 19221997 is known for his ceramic sculptures of heterogeneous figures. Yet he was a painter weaver and designer too who created a rich oeuvre imbued with his passion for people animals and life. This book pays tribute to the genesis of Vermeersch figurative work and uses around a hundred sculptures and paintings to show the exceptional way in which his pictorial and his ceramic work are interwoven. The indeterminate and non-binary character of Vermeersch oeuvre from gender to species human/animal is explored in depth along with ideas such as sustainability and fragility. Presences unveils a series of unpublished pictures from the artists archive in which we see him at work in his studio or at the two wood-fired kilns he built for himself. Unique photographs that testify to the patience and care with which Vermeersch created his sculptures. He had his clay figures stand lie or sit waiting quietly for the alchemy of the natural elements to take effect. Vermeersch work displays a certain slowness and a powerful affinity with a specific place and with nature. Precisely because of this his work seems to connect more than ever with the current focus on sustainable and autonomous processes of production. Ludion 2022 hardcover
