‎MARCEL DUCHAMP.‎

‎, Koenig Verlag, 2022 hardcover+booklet + slipcase, 330 x 250 mm, 254 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9783906915517.‎

‎Marcel Duchamp, the artist's first legendary monograph and draft catalogue raisonn , was written by art historian and novelist Robert Lebel and published in French in 1959; later that same year, it was translated into English by George Heard Hamilton for Grove Press. The book was a cooperation between Lebel and Duchamp, and beyond Lebel's extensive writing and bibliography, additional chapters were authored by Duchamp, H.P. Roch and Andr Breton. The coupling of these texts with diverse archival photographs and an illustrated compendium of Duchamp's artworks delivered a complex and personal rendering of the artist's life and inner circle. For the first time since its release more than 60 years ago, this landmark publication is back in circulation with Hauser & Wirth Publishers' meticulous facsimile of the English edition, reflecting everything from its hand-tipped images to its recto-verso dust jacket appearing as close to the original as possible. Fully authorized by artist Jean-Jacques Lebel--Robert Lebel's son--and the Association Marcel Duchamp, the facsimile is accompanied by a supplement volume of essays and archival material that tells the story of Duchamp and Lebel's close collaboration, and, as contributor Michael Taylor writes, how the original publication signified a sea change in the artist's receptivity to critical interpretation. The supplement includes texts by both Robert and Jean-Jacques Lebel and a newly discovered note by Man Ray, among a bevy of photographs from the Lebel and Duchamp archives, extending the story presented in the 1959 edition. Robert Lebel's analysis of Duchamp's oeuvre remains fresh to this day, as does the book's design, which was personally supervised by the artist. Hauser & Wirth Publishers reanimated Marcel Duchamp with the curatorial-design firm fluid, who recast the original typefaces as digital fonts, positioning each letter and image exactly as it was in the original. To achieve a near-exact facsimile, fluid consulted with paper conservators and printers to recreate the book with modern materials that match those available in 1959. This precise production quality assures that today's readers will experience this historic book as Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel intended.‎

‎Mapplethorpe - The Complete Flowers‎

‎, teNeues, 2006 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 390 x 285 x 35 mm, dustjacket, in New condition !!, Full Page Photographs in sharp colours and b/w!. ISBN 9783832791681.‎

‎The theme of flowers is woven throughout Robert Mapplethorpe's oeuvre, coming to signify some of his deepest concerns as an artist. The photographs in "Flowers" range from images of the early 1980s to many taken in the months just before his death. The latter, in particular, are astounding in their intensity; here one finds both erotic drama and absolute clarity of composition - Mapplethorpe's gift at its most bold and uncompromising. Only a fraction of Robert Mapplethorpe's color flowers have been published or exhibited. This book, exquisitely designed and produced, is destined to become a crucial part of his legacy.‎

‎Summary Hobrecht and His Singers frames the life of the illustrious composer Jacob Hobrecht (Obrecht) within a single institution, the Church of St. Donatian in Bruges. As a collective biography of the musicians at an important collegiate church in the late fifteenth century, the book will be of interest to readers of ecclesiastical, social, and urban history. Hobrecht twice served as succentor, or master of the choirboys, and twice was forced to leave the city?the first time in the wake of a devastating civil war, the second time in disgrace. The monograph focuses on the social and economic realities for the succentors and polyphonic singers, the Companions of Music, who worked closely together on a daily basis, during the years 1485-1505. Thick description provides a more comprehensive context for the lives of Jacob Hobrecht and seven musicians whose biographies are recounted here for the first time. Conflicts between the singers and the collegiate church to which they were pledged, driven in part by their emerging professional status circa 1500, helped lead to different career trajectories, in one case ending in tragedy. Numerous new documents add uncommon detail, both quotidian and dramatic, to the career of Hobrecht, necessitating original interpretations. Seven representative compositions written during his two periods in Bruges?both Masses and motets?demonstrate the kinds of work he undertook as succentor and the occasions for which he composed them, poised at the intersection of church and urban culture.

‎Romeinse heerbaan de oudste weg door de Lage Landen‎

‎, Sterck & De Vreese, 2023 softcover, 138 pagina's, afbeeldingen, 23cm. ISBN 9789056157449.‎

‎Van west naar oost, dwars door Vlaanderen, liep vroeger de Romeinse heerbaan van Kassel naar Tongeren. Hij verbond de kuststad Boulogne-sur-Mer met de Rijnstad Keulen en maakte deel uit van een groot en complex netwerk van (water)wegen dat Rome verbond met de verste uithoeken van het Romeinse Rijk. Men spreekt in dat verband trouwens terecht van militaire wegen, De Romeinen slaagden erin om uiteindelijk een voor die tijd schitterend wegennet te realiseren van nagenoeg 120.000 kilometer. Hoe werden die wegen aangelegd? En hoe bouwden ze bruggen over rivieren en beken? Wie stapten of reden met hun karren over die wegen? Hoe ontstonden de steden? Hoe verliep de bevoorrading? Van de Romeinse weg Maastricht-Tongeren-Tienen-Kassel zijn maar weinig stuken in hun 'oorspronkelijke' landschappelijke toestand bewaard gebleven. De mooist bewaarde segmenten liggen tussen Tienen en Maastricht. Zij vormen samen een min om meer aaneensluitend archeologisch relict. Daarom is dit boek specifiek aan de geschiedenis van dit stuk van de heerbaan gewijd.‎

‎Homo, Natura, Mundus: Human Beings and Their Relationships. Proceedings of the XIV International Congress of the Soci t Internationale pour l' tude de la Philosophie M di vale‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xlv + 979 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 1 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, German, Spanish. ISBN 9782503592633.‎

‎Summary The present volumes contain a number of studies first presented at the XIV International Congress of the Soci t Internationale pour l' tude de la Philosophie M di vale, July 24-28, 2017, Porto Alegre, Brazil - which happened to be the first SIEPM Congress in Latin America and the first in the Southern Hemisphere. In 65 essays on current research questions in Latin, Jewish, and Arabic Philosophy, and Early Modern Scholasticism, the contributors explore the general theme of "Homo - Natura - Mundus: Human Beings and their Relationships," and lead us to new perspectives. These essays relate to the following areas of interest: the human being's self-understanding as a rational creature in multiple relationships (with God, the other, the community, the fellow and the different); the human being's place in the natural world and the possibility of relating to nature through knowledge; medieval philosophical traditions and the challenges introduced by the "discovery" of the "New World" (dominium, war, hierarchies, and new areas of concern with respect to justice, the human good, and the law). Thus, these volumes offer a unique sample of scholarly studies that work with the idea of "relationships" in two distinct, but not opposing, directions. Firstly, they explore the ways in which human beings, according to the reach of their soul's powers, construct their self-understanding and existence in relation to God, themselves, others and the natural world. Secondly, they explore the ways in which the philosophical bases for the understanding of these relationships were challenged by the transportation of medieval ideas to the "New World" and by the reception of these ideas in early modern times.

‎Music and the Figurative Arts in the Nineteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols 2020, 2020 Hardcover, .xiv + 527 p., 0 b/w ill., 20 col. ills 210 x 270 mm , English, ISBN 9782503589510.‎

‎This book explores the relationship between music and the figurative arts in the XIX century. In 1795 Friedrich Schiller wrote: Die bildende Kunst in ihrer h chsten Vollendung muss Musik werden und uns durch unmittelbare sinnliche Gegenwart r hren (Schiller, ber die sthetische Erziehung des Menschen, Letter XXII, 1795). This sentence underlines the fundamental aesthetic change that coincided at the onset of the nineteenth century. According to ut musica pictura , music becomes the model for an art able to express and communicate feelings. Even as music no longer necessarily has to embody order, so does painting move away from pure imitation to encompass emotional affect. Music and painting thus converge in embodying a sensual conception of the arts: music is capable of expressing emotions and arousing them in the audience; painting can do the same through visual perception. The present volume, which brings together 21 essays, focuses on encounters between composers and painters, but also on the relationship between music, literature and the figurative arts, as well as on the concurrence of musical and artistic aesthetics. Sections of the book are devoted to iconography, to the relationship with the theatrical arts (in particular the scenic aspect) and in one instance, to Franz Liszt. ROBERTO ILLIANO is General Secretary of the Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini (Lucca) and President of the Italian National Edition of Muzio Clementi?s Complete Works. He is also a member of the scholarly committee of the Italian National Edition of Luigi Boccherini?s Complete Works. A founder of the journal Ad Parnassum , he has published a variety of writings on 19th- and 20th-century music, in particular on Luigi Dallapiccola and Italian music under Italian fascism.‎

‎Summary This book traces the relationship between sound, music and architecture from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. The first part of this volume deals with the physical relationship between music and architecture, focussing on the intersection between rite, sound and architecture in ecclesiastical spaces such as the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, the churches of medieval Sicily, the liturgical spaces of 15th-17th-century France and the Roman churches in the Baroque era. A substantial article by Richard B sel presents a comprehensive panorama of music rooms and concert halls, starting from the archetypes conceived in the Early Modern Age and concluding with their present-day configurations. The last article of this section is dedicated to the Festspielhaus located in Hellerau (Dresden), based on the documentary sources and the writing of the protagonists, in particular mile Jaques-Dalcroze and Adolphe Appia. The theme continues in the second part of the book with the examination of the historical relationship between architecture and acoustic knowledge in the age of modernity. Moreover, the following chapter explores the architectural idea of designing for musical tone as it found expression in the early decades of the twentieth century. The last two articles of this section explore Leo Beranek's research regarding the quality of musical spaces in the history of modern science, and the experimentations of the architect Bernard Leitner with his Soundcube. The last part of the book will focus on Music as an 'art of space', exploring installations and musical experimentations by composers such as Xenakis, Jean-Luc Herv and John Chowning.

‎Summary Music and mathematics have been connected since ancient times. During the twentieth century, however, many composers consciously started using many mathematical concepts, algebraic operations and theorems as bases for their creative processes. The first part of this volume deals with the relationship between music and mathematics in the music of composers such as Olivier Messiaen, Iannis Xenakis, Franco Evangelisti, Pierre Boulez, Arvo P rt, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. A chapter is then dedicated to Spanish composers of the last forty years (Francisco Guerrero, Alberto Posadas, Jos Mar a S nchez-Verd , Iluminada P rez Frutos, Nur a Gimenez Comas, Helga Arias and Jos L pez Montes). The theme continues in the second part of the book through the examination of prominent theories (Neo-Riemannian theory, diatonic set theory, theory of musical kaleidocycles), the use of diagrams and charts in music, the algorithmic evolution of music, contemporary compositional practices inspired by mathematical concepts; it arrives at studies on double canons and trichords. We publish a philosophical study in order to ask what the future of the relationship between music and mathematics will be at the beginning of the 21st century. Includes an introduction by Massimiliano Locanto.

‎Summary In the 1920s and 1930s, the entire process of renovation of the cultural institutions conducted by the Fascists, implemented through the Ministry of National Education, imposed a strong concentration of power on the Italian school administrations, especially the universities, and created new national institutions. At the same time, the Fascist Cultural Institute (IFC), which under the leadership of Giovanni Gentile aspired to be a charitable organisation for the promotion of the culture typical of pre-Fascist associations, was placed after 1937 directly under the National Fascist Party, which changed its name to the National Institute of Fascist Culture (INCF), with the aim of giving the party itself the task of educating the new leadership. The relationship between intellectuals and power under Fascism was aligned into a perspective of orientation that attributed the party with the role of educator of homo novus, summarised in a phrase from Mussolini himself: Fascism is a great orchestra, where everyone plays a different instrument . A particular concern of the ruling class was to develop a production-fruition process involving all social classes, in order to offer them the feeling of being part of a solid, free and fair system. However, this conception was not explicit in the artistic expressions of the regime: the construction of a social apparatus proceeded underground through the channels of the productive and hierarchical apparatus of the institutions, rather than through the creation of a tangible aesthetic of the regime. In summary: culture had to be the expression of a common heritage belonging both to the people and to the intellectuals; it bore the task of providing a fascist conception of the world.

‎Music Criticism 1950-2000‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxiv + 420 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, Languages: English, Italian, Spanish. ISBN 9782503584423.‎

‎Summary This book addresses the complex world of music criticism during the second half of the twentieth century, with particular emphasis on the relationship between music criticism and pivotal changes in politics, society, technology, and economics. The focus on music criticism should be understood in a very broad sense, as one of the various forms of communication and expression that contributes both to the formulation of judgments, and to a broader discourse on the constructions of music. In addition, the book deepens the topic of music criticism by addressing some defining aspects of the period, such as the development of music for the cinema, the growth of the music industry, and the new media that characterized the turn of the century. The articles are divided into five sections: 'Music Criticism and its Roles', 'Music Criticism and Italian Film Music', 'Music Criticism and Ideology', 'Music Criticism and the Web', and 'Case Studies' (Amiri Baraka, Astor Piazzolla, Louis Andriessen, Dieter Roth, John Cage, and Stravinsky).
