Oer : De wortels van Vlaanderen : Vlaamse kunst tussen 1880 en 1930
, Lannoo, 2025 Hardcover, 432 pag., 29 x 25 cm,, illustraties in kleur / z/w.* nieuw. ISBN 9789464666960.
Referentiewerk over de wortels van de Vlaamse culturele geschiedenis, van Emile Claus tot L on Spilliaert OER is een boek over wortels. Over wat het betekent om Vlaming te zijn. Over hoe kunstenaars als Emile Claus, Valerius De Saedeleer, George Minne en Gustave Van de Woestyne al aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw heimwee koesterden naar het Vlaanderen van hun dromen. Ook de werken van James Ensor, Rik Wouters en L on Spilliaert konden nergens anders ter wereld tot stand komen dan hier, in ?le plat pays?. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog brengen Constant Permeke, Gust. De Smet, Frits Van den Berghe en Edgard Tytgat de kijk van kunstenaars ?van hier? op de wereld ?van hier?. Zo is dit boek een zoektocht naar wat Vlaanderen is, was, of kan zijn. Aan de hand van rijk ge llustreerde essays wekt OER de brede culturele context van de Vlaamse belle poque en het interbellum weer tot leven. Het is een verkenning van de eigen wortels, van wat blijft groeien uit wat ooit was. Dat maakt het verleden springlevend. OER is een boek over toen en nu, over u en mij.
Politics as painting
Tielt, Lannoo, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket, 416 pages, 30 x 26 x 4 cm, English, Richly illustrated. ISBN 9789401432399.
Apart from a handful of art historians no sane person has ever heard of the Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630). Nevertheless, De Clerck was a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and like Rubens he worked for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. But while Rubens has gone down in history as an artistic trailblazer and painting powerhouse, Hendrick De Clerck has quietly faded into oblivion. Yet the subtly coded, vibrantly coloured pictures that De Clerck paints for Albert and Isabella are political propaganda of the highest order. In creating a mode of archducal representation that could help to gain an empire, the sky is quite literally the limit. De Clerck represents Isabella as wise Minerva, chaste Diana, the Virgin Mary. And that's nothing compared to her husband, for in De Clerck's paintings Albert is transformed into the sun god Apollo or even into Jesus Christ himself. Hendrick De Clerck's mastery of ingenious pictorial strategy made him a leading player in one of the most ambitious projects history has ever seen. For those who know how to read them, his paintings tell a story of power, political promises, and grandiose ambition. Most of all, they are supreme examples of image-building. For as the Archdukes were well aware, even as a monarch you're only as important as you make yourself.
Susanna and the Elders. MeToo in the Time of Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630)
, Phoebus Focus XXX, 2023 Softcover, 152 pag. ENG, 21 x 14,8 cm, ill., Phoebus Focus XXX ENG ISBN 9789464666342.
The Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630) was a celebrated artist in his day. He worked regularly for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella and those in their European network. De Clerck and his workshop also painted hundreds of pictures for the rest of the great and the good in the Spanish Netherlands, including moralizing biblical episodes such as the painting of Susanna and the Elders that is the subject of this edition of Phoebus Focus. Susanna?s story has been represented in the visual arts since the early centuries of Christianity. But its greatest popularity comes in the sixteenth century. Under the safe umbrella of a moralizing life lesson, it provides the perfect excuse for a spot of titillating nudity. Although Hendrick De Clerck covers Susanna with elegant yet suggestive drapery, she still reveals all in this edition of Phoebus Focus.
Suzanna en de ouderlingen. MeToo in de tijd van Hendrick De Clerck (ca. 1560-1630)
, Phoebus Focus XXX, 2023 Softcover, 152 pag. NL, 21 x 14,8 cm , ill. Phoebus Focus XXX NL ISBN 9789464666144.
De Brusselse schilder Hendrick De Clerck (ca. 1560-1630) was in zijn dagen een gevierd kunstenaar. Met de regelmaat van de klok werkte hij voor de aartshertogen Albrecht en Isabella en hun Europese netwerk. Ook voor de rest van de beau monde in de Spaanse Nederlanden penseelden De Clerck en zijn atelier honderden taferelen bij elkaar, waaronder moraliserende Bijbelse voorstellingen zoals de Suzanna en de ouderlingen die centraal staat in deze editie van Phoebus Focus. Het thema van Suzanna komt al voor in de beeldende kunst sinds de eerste eeuwen van het christendom. Pas in de zestiende eeuw krijgt Suzanna artistiek echt vleugels. Onder de veilige paraplu van een moraliserende levensles, biedt haar verhaal het perfecte excuus voor een tafereel in het teken van zinnenprikkelend naakt. Hoewel Hendrick De Clerck sierlijke maar suggestieve gewaden over zijn Suzanna drapeert, geeft ze in deze editie van Phoebus Focus alsnog alles bloot.

Blind Date Portretten met Blikken en Blozen
, Hannibal Books, 2020 HARDCOVER 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, NL edition met prachtige illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789463887397.
Mannen in statig zwart, vrouwen met molensteenkragen, kinderen met gouden rammelaars, oude besjes en zelfgenoegzame kunstenaars? Ze zijn de hoofdrolspelers op zowat ieder portret dat ooit werd geschilderd in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Van de vijftiende tot de zeventiende eeuw is het kleine lapje grond dat vandaag ?Vlaanderen? heet het economische en culturele, intellectuele en financi le hart van Europa. En geld moet rollen: iedereen die het zich kan veroorloven, investeert in een portret. Vandaag hebben de gekoesterde statussymbolen van weleer hun oorspronkelijke betekenis grotendeels verloren. Van functioneel en emotioneel transformeerden de portretten tot toegangspoortjes tot het verleden. Aan de hand van topstukken uit de collectie van The Phoebus Foundation schetst dit boek de brede context waarin ze tot stand kwamen. Het pelt de betekenislagen van de voorstellingen, als waren het rokken van een ui. Want of het nu gaat om een indrukwekkende Rubens of Van Dyck, of om een intiem portret door een vergeten kunstenaar: ooit waren de mensen op deze schilderijen van vlees en bloed. Ze hadden eigenaardigheden en verborgen agenda?s, ambities en hogere doelen. Soms zijn die hoogstpersoonlijk en hyperindividueel. Soms ligt er een laagje stof op, en zijn de dames en heren kinderen van hun tijd. Meestal echter, zijn hun dromen en pretenties verrassend tijdloos en ontnuchterend herkenbaar. Blind Date is een afspraak met de geschiedenis: een ontmoeting met geportretteerde mannen en vrouwen uit vervlogen eeuwen. Maar voor wie bereid is om goed te kijken, blijkt de grens tussen heden en verleden flinterdun. HET VERHAAL VAN DE VLAAMSE PORTRETKUNST VERTELD AAN DE HAND VAN TOPSTUKKEN UIT DE COLLECTIE VAN THE PHOEBUS FOUNDATION De gelijknamige tentoonstelling Blind Date. Portretten met blikken en blozen loopt van 14 maart tot 31 december 2020 in het Snijders&Rockoxhuis Antwerpen, gecureerd door dr. Katharina Van Cauteren & Hildegard Van de Velde en in een scenografie van Walter Van Beirendonck.

BLIND DATE, The Bold and The Beautiful in Flemish Portraits
, Hannibal / Kannibaal , 2020 Hardcover, 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, English edition. ISBN 9789463887403.
Portraits from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, what should we do with those long forgotten people from centuries ago? They stare at us, sometimes with a little monk, or ignore us completely. Without saying a word. Yet they have so much to tell us. About their fascinating lives, who they were or hoped to be. This book wants to offer the reader an appointment with history, or rather, a blind date with portrayed men and women from days gone by. Blind Date shows an exceptional sample of portraiture from the past. The Phoebus Foundation possesses a wealth of such portraits, so many and diverse that they could compile an exhibition and a book that illuminate the genre of portrait painting in all its facets, from selfie to group portrait.
WIJ: VAN ZALIG TOT ZOT: VLAAMSE MEESTERS
, Hannibal Publishing, 2021 Hardcover , 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, NL edition. ISBN 9789463887434.
Wij - Van zalig tot zot is een unieke rollercoaster ride door drie eeuwen kunst- en cultuurgeschiedenis. Honderd adembenemende topstukken uit de collectie van The Phoebus Foun dation, van onder meer Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens en Antoon Van Dyck, nemen de lezer mee langs een wereld vol zotheid en zonde, fascinatie en ambitie. Ze vertellen over rijke burgers en arme heiligen, over kunstenaars en wijnkelders, en over Antwerpen als Hollywood aan de Schelde. Dit boek is een meeslepend verhaal over het beeld en zijn betekenis, en over de band tussen cultuur en maatschappij. Want bovenal gaat dit over ons en over wie wij vandaag zijn - als mensen. Publicatie bij de grote tentoonstelling From Memling to Rubens - The Golden Age of Flanders in het Kadriorg Art Museum in Tallinn, Estland, en in het MAS in Antwerpen.
De Memling Rubens L' ge d'or de la Flandre.
, Hannibal, 2024 Hardcover, HB+, 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, FR edition. ISBN 9789464666823.
Pourquoi Hans Memling peignait-il tout avec une telle minutie dans le d tail? Comment Rubens cr ait-il, en quelques coups de pinceau, des effets sp ciaux qui feraient p lir d'envie Steven Spielberg? Et pourquoi les Pays-Bas m ridionaux ont-ils t le centre artistique du monde durant trois si cles? De Memling Rubens : l' ge d'or de la Flandre raconte l'histoire de l'art flamand des quinzi me, seizi me et dix-septi me si cles comme vous ne l'avez jamais lue auparavant. Un v ritable tour de montagnes russes travers 300 ans d'histoire culturelle. Les chefs-d'oeuvre poustouflants de la collection de The Phoebus Foundation, des joyaux inconnus de Hans Memling, Quentin Metsys, Pierre Paul Rubens et Antoine Van Dyck, vous plongent dans un monde de folie et de p ch , de fascination et d'ambition. En chemin, vous croiserez des ducs et des empereurs, des citoyens riches et des saints pauvres, des galeries d'art comme des caves vin, et Anvers comme Hollywood sur l'Escaut. Il s'agit d'un r cit passionnant sur l'image et sa signification, et sur le lien entre culture et soci t . L'ouvrage parle surtout de nous et de ce que nous sommes, aujourd'hui, en tant que personnes.
Goed bewaarde winkelinterieurs sinds 1851
, Luster Publishing, 2023 hardcover, 191 pagina's, illustr. 24.7 x 17.7 cm. ISBN 9789460583544.
Na het succes van de eerste "Goed bewaarde winkelinterieurs" (2014), verzamelde erfgoedkundige Katherine Ennekens in dit boek opnieuw een reeks prachtig geconserveerde winkelinterieurs verspreid over heel Belgi . Winkelinterieurs worden vaak in een nieuw jasje gestoken, om de mode van de tijd te volgen of om te voldoen aan nieuwe opgelegde normen. Maar soms blijft de tijd stilstaan en wordt het interieur lange tijd bewaard. Gelukkig maar, want vaak barsten deze winkels van de charme en brengen ze klanten in verwondering. Daarover gaat dit boek. Het is een ode aan de winkeliers die hun interieur lang niet verbouwd hebben en zo, soms zonder uitgestippeld plan, een heerlijk vintage interieur hebben vandaag. Sommige winkelinterieurs hebben een bijzonder ontwerp, in andere werden materialen gebruikt die vandaag zeldzaam zijn. Allemaal zijn ze uniek en op maat van de ruimte gemaakt. De interieurs overleefden vele generaties en zijn zo tot ons erfgoed gaan behoren. Het is pas wanneer een vertrouwd waardevol interieur verdwijnt, dat buurtbewoners het gemis voelen. Auteur en onderzoekster Katherine Ennekens is interieurarchitecte gespecialiseerd in erfgoed. In 2014 schreef ze een eerste boek over dit onderwerp. Na lang zoeken vond ze opnieuw veertig waardevolle interieurs in Belgi . Ze sprak met de winkeliers en werkte samen met fotograaf Bart Kiggen om ze in beeld te brengen. Dit boek is een oproep aan eigenaars, klanten en de overheid om dit kwetsbare erfgoed te koesteren n te bewaren
Riemenschneider in Situ.

Summary Riemenschneider in Situ presents the newest research on the work of one of the most famous late medieval and early Renaissance sculptors, Tilman Riemenschneider. Moving beyond questions of style, date, and workshop practice, this volume investigates the sculptor's programs across the south German region of Franconia that survive in situ, within the particular contexts for which they were designed and in which they were originally experienced. In shifting the focus from fragmentary pieces in museum collections to extant installations in their original church settings, the volume contributes to a wave of scholarship interested in reanimating medieval artistic ensembles by considering them as complex visual environments. Together, the authors?conservators, museum professionals, and art historians?provide an essential and overdue study of Riemenschneider's best-preserved pieces, while also making an important, collaborative addition to the broader discipline of pre-modern art history.

Ingenious Italians, Immigrant Artists in Eighteenth-century Britain
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024 Hardback, 344 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 165 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9781915487179.
Summary This book fills a significant gap in the literature on eighteenth-century art in Britain. Although immigrant Italian artists played a crucial role in the development of Britain's expanding art world over the course of that century, they have been largely overlooked in books on both British and Italian art. When mentioned in works on eighteenth-century British art, Italian artists are regarded as bit players who were tangential to the art world. Ingenious Italians seeks to correct this view, demonstrating the critical role played by immigrants who brought their skills and talents to a new country. In Britain, they established networks of Italian and British colleagues, cultivated new patrons and created innovative works for a growing market. In doing so, they influenced the development of art in British society. This little-explored facet of art history in Britain presents readers with a new perspective from which to consider the art of the era, highlighting the important work contributed by Italian artists in Britain. The book also contains an appendix of biographical information on the Italian artists working in Britain throughout the eighteenth century.

Crusading and Ideas of the Holy Land in Medieval Britain

Summary Crusading and western interaction with the Holy Land is often a contentious topic, not least because modern popular perception of medieval east-west contact is that it was defined by violence, conquest, and religious persecution. Building on recent scholarship, this collection of essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to the role of crusading and contact with the Holy Land in medieval Britain in order to investigate the myriad ways in which these contacts influenced artistic, literary, visual, and social culture in medieval Britain. By looking at new material and focusing on the domestic response to crusading and the Holy Land, the contributions gathered here offer new insights into the influence of these contacts on the medieval British world view, as well as their impact on topics such as ideals about masculinity and kingship, geographical perception, and aspirational codes of conduct for the medieval British elite.

, Hannibal / Kannibaal , 2020 HARDCOVER, 29 X 24,5 CM 216 PAGINA'S ENGLISH / DUTCH EDITION . ISBN 9789463887458.
The highly original universe of artist Kati Heck As we grow older, we filter out of our perception the details that we have been conditioned to believe are unimportant. It takes an exceptionally talented painter to pierce that veil and capture the essential richness and strangeness of the world. This, it seems to me, is Kati Heck?s gift.? ? Ben Eastham, editor-in-chief of art-agenda Over the years, Kati Heck (b. 1979) has developed a highly personal vision of the everyday. Her works resemble fictitious projections from her own universe, and she uses the diversity that is inherent in painting to create a link with the potential of the imagination. Heck is principally known as a painter, but also seeks expression in other media such as photography, sculpture and performances. Her colourful oeuvre is consistently characterised by irony, drama and a highly original sense of the grotesque. Hauruck, which is being published to accompany Heck?s solo show in Kunstmuseum Den Haag (from 6 June to 8 November 2020), contains some 75 works that were created between 2013 and 2020, as well as a graphic short story written specially for this book. With a textual contribution from Ben Eastham, editor-in-chief of art-agenda. ?If we say painting is a language, then Kati Heck speaks it in all dialects. The twentieth century saw painting analysed and deconstructed until we declared it dead. In her intuitive manner, Kati Heck revives and reconstructs painting into a new form, entirely her own, to create a universe that captivates us. Don?t let her fool you. Kati Heck may appear to be lounging with a cat on her lap, but, as always, in the back of her mind, she is patiently plotting the moment when women, for the benefit of the world, take it over. She is the motherly embodiment of nature vs. nurture. She?ll roast you a chicken, invite you for dinner, and sit across from you with that particular smile of hers, examining the way your teeth come together while you chew. She will join you while you drink yourself under the table and then hold a magnifying glass to the dribble coming off your chin. Heck keeps us on our toes. Her paintings, like her presence, hold us accountable for existing.? ? Makeal Flammini, artist ?This work is characterised by an absurdist view of the world and art. Make acquaintance with her large, figurative paintings and step into the wondrous world of Kati Heck.?

Met gevoel voor humor en absurditeit ontleedt Kati Heck (1979, D sseldorf) de wereld om zich heen en herschept een geheel eigen universum. Wie probeert een duidelijk verhaal te ontdekken in haar raadselachtig schilderijen, sculpturen, films en collages komt bedrogen uit. Heck biedt geen houvast maar stuurt aan op de verbeeldingskracht. Hauruck d?Orange is haar eerste grote museale solotentoonstelling in Nederland. Het werk van Kati Heck is een virtuoze kakofonie van kleur, beeld en taal. In figuratieve, vaak omvangrijke schilderijen en sculpturen brengt zij twee werelden samen: de ene herkenbaar en te herleiden naar gebeurtenissen en personen uit de dagelijkse omgeving van de kunstenaar, de andere ontregelend of ronduit verontrustend als een koortsachtige droom. Personages worden op theatrale wijze opgevoerd ? poserend of uitbundig verkleed - en ook Heck zelf is een regelmatige passant in haar eigen werk. Steeds verschijnt ze in een andere bijna allegorische gedaante, als haar eigen muze. Van raadselachtig realisme tot cartooneske schetsen De tentoonstelling in GEM brengt meer dan twintig nieuwe en recente werken samen. Heck plaatst ze in een bijzondere enscenering die de bezoeker uitnodigt om niet alleen de ogen te gebruiken, maar ook het lichaam, de herinnering en het onderbewustzijn. Hauruck d?Orange laat goed zien hoe Heck diverse media en beeldtalen naast en door elkaar gebruikt, vol verwijzingen naar zowel de kunstgeschiedenis en literatuur als folklore, populaire cultuur en autobiografie. Van raadselachtig realisme tot cartooneske schetsen: Heck schept een parallelle wereld waarin categorie n en betekenissen vloeibaar zijn. Naast schilderijen, tekeningen, collages en sculpturen presenteert de tentoonstelling de video Der springende Punkt case II: O (2017). Dit tweede deel uit een nog onvoltooide filmtrilogie komt voort uit de Babydetektivclub, een onvaste groep van bevriende makers met wie Heck samenwerkt. De film speelt op humoristische wijze met clich s uit het detective-genre en vertegenwoordigt een bepaalde democratische do it yourself mentaliteit. Dit blijkt ook uit het enorme handgemaakte ?manifest? dat de bezoeker verwelkomt bij binnenkomst in GEM: alles mag en niets is wat het lijkt. Metamorfose Het ?Hauruck? uit de tentoonstellingstitel Hauruck d?Orange is een veelvoorkomend woord in Hecks schilderijen. Het is Duitse spreektaal voor een aansporing: komaan! ?Orange? refereert daarbij natuurlijk aan de nationale kleur van het land waar zij zichzelf met deze tentoonstelling op de kaart zet. In de tentoonstellingsruimte spelen drie andere kleuren de hoofdrol. Samen vormen ze een ?verwassen? versie van de Duitse en Belgische vlag, wat voor Heck verwijst naar het vervagen van identiteit. Het idee van metamorfose ? het overgaan van het een in het ander ? komt vaker terug in haar werk, bijvoorbeeld in tweekoppige wezens of hybride mensfiguren. Kati Heck woont en werkt in Pulle, Belgi . Ze volgde de opleiding schilderen aan de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerpen. Haar werk was recent onder meer te zien in de Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, CAC Malaga en het M HKA in Antwerpen.

Albert the Great and his Arabic Sources. Medieval Science between Inheritance and Emergence
, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 473 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503609379.
Summary Albert the Great created a new programme of science in the thirteenth-century Latin world by extensively commenting upon Aristotle's philosophical corpus and supplementing that corpus with works of his own wherever he saw gaps. What were the preconditions for the emergence of such a comprehensively new scientific agenda and its centuries of success at the University of Paris and Dominican study houses across Europe? One answer is found in the rich Arabic sources that Albert had at his disposal in Latin translation, including Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes, as well as Isaac Israeli, Maimonides, and more. Never before in the history of Albert scholarship has there been a collected volume that examines this inheritance from the Arabic-speaking lands in its role as a major condition for the emergence of Albert's scientific programme. In the present volume, twelve leading scholars in the field offer studies that range from Albert's early theological works to his late philosophical writings. The volume focuses on the teachings that Albert actively inherited from the Arabic sources, the ways in which he creatively implemented those teachings into his scientific corpus, and the effects that these implementations had on his own programmatic take on scientia.

RAPHAEL GOLD & SILK : The Revolution of Tapestry Design.
, Hannibal Books, 2023 HB, 305x x285 x 25 mm ENG edition, 232, p, illustrated in colour / b/w., NEW, ISBN 9789464666595.
In the autumn of 2023, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna showcases a medium that played a central role in the public celebrations of princely power and magnificence during the Renaissance: monumental tapestries. The most exquisite products fashioned from delicate silks and precious metal threads were produced in Brussels, including the series of tapestries depicting the story of the Apostles, commissioned by Pope Leo X (1475-1521) for the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The cartoons, which led to a stylistic revolution in Flemish tapestry design, are by the celebrated Italian artist Raffaele Santi (1483-1520). Taking Raphael's designs as a starting point, the exhibition explores the evolution of the art of tapestries in the sixteenth century, and presents a selection of masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum's rich holdings of tapestries
