‎One century ago there was a flourishing avant-garde in Brussels. In 1922, Pierre and Victor Bourgeois, Pierre-Louis Flouquet, Karel Maes and Georges Monier launched the periodical 7 Arts, which would turn out to be of major influence on the art scene. The five Brussels residents championed the plastique pure (geometric abstraction) and stood for an synthesis of all art forms: painting, sculpture, decorative art, literature, music and film, all of which where looked at from an architectural and urbanistic point of view. They were swiftly joined by important artists like Magritte, Servranckx, De Boeck, Peeters, Gailliard, Baugniet, Hoste, Jasinski and Gaspard. In 1922, in Brussels, five very young artists ? the poet Pierre Bourgeois, his architect brother Victor Bourgeois, the painters Pierre-Louis Flouquet and Karel Maes and the musician and critic Georges Monier ? assembled a section of the Belgian avant-garde around a weekly magazine, 7 Arts. The publication sought to be multidisciplinary with the key mission of promoting Pure plastic in the sense of a geometric abstraction applied to all the arts. At the same time they took up a social or even political position: Pure plastic must invade the city and create a new relationship between the city-dweller and his or her environment, whether urban or domestic. Two disciplines received particular coverage: cinema, a new art in which everything was possible and, above all, architecture which was totally reinventing itself amid the ruins of the Great War. This juxtaposition of architecture ? with its technical demands and necessary rigour of design ? and the other arts is part of what made the magazine so unique. Among the group members and those close to them it was not unusual for painters to try their hand at architecture, for architects to design furniture or for writers to theorise about architecture or evoke its beauty in their poems. Consisting of between four and eight pages, the magazine format was that of a broadsheet newspaper, in black and white and richly illustrated with reproductions of paintings and photographs of buildings and furniture, architectural plans and even musical scores as well as a great many prints, principally the work of Maes and Flouquet. Every week articles, manifestos, features and reports proposed a revolutionising of the links between architecture, urbanism, literature, cinema, the decorative arts, music and theatre that would be free of any hierarchy while at the same time bringing the latest news from the very active literary and artistic circles in Belgium and Europe. The magazine circulated widely beyond the borders of Belgium and the editors kept up an assiduous correspondence with leading actors in Europe?s avant-garde: De Stijl in the Netherlands, Der Sturm and the Bahaus in Germany, Il Futurismo in Italy and L?Esprit Nouveau in France. 7 Arts ceased publication in 1928, after six seasons and 156 issues. Shortly afterwards, Flouquet described 7 Arts as the most important organ of doctrine and combat of the modern movement in Belgium ‎

‎Ce livre est un voyage passionnant, inedit et abondamment illustre a travers les grands travaux realises en Belgique et a l'etranger principalement par les entreprises membres de l'Association des Entrepreneurs belges de grands travaux (ADEB). L'association, fondee en 1936 au sortir de la crise de 1929, avait pour objectif de mieux structurer la profession et de developper des grands travaux generateurs d'emplois en Belgique et a l'etranger. Quatre-vingts ans apres sa creation, son objectif a ete largement atteint comme en temoignent les milliers de chantiers menes a bien. Le livre, abondamment illustre, est decoupe en 10 sections qui parcourent les epoques depuis sa fondation : du plan du Travail au plan Marshall, la Reconstruction ou le " miracle belge ", l'Expo 58, l'Age d'or des travaux publics, Cent ans de bureaux, l'Ordinateur prend la releve, la Restauration des batiments anciens, le Passage a l 'Euro, l'Ecodurabilite, le Futur. Het boek biedt een rijk geillustreerde reis langs grote bouwwerken in Belgie en in het buitenland, voornamelijk gebouwd door leden van de Vereniging der Belgische Aannemers van Grote Bouwwerken (ADEB-VBA). De Vereniging, opgericht in 1936 (kort na de crisis van 1929), streeft naar een betere beroepsstructuur en naar het stimuleren van belangrijke bouwwerken, als motor voor de werkgelegenheid in Belgie en in het buitenland. Tachtig jaar later getuigen de vele opgeleverde werven ervan dat deze doelstelling gehaald is. Een artikel van Inge Bertels en Jelena Dobbels (VUB) schetst de evolutie van het ADEB-VBA: 'VBA 1936-2016. Van Vereniging voor burgerlijke bouwkunde tot vertegenwoordiger van grote bouwbedrijven' (pp. 10-33). Het boek bestaat verder uit tien min of meer chronologische delen: van het Plan van de Arbeid tot het Marschallplan, de wederopbouw of het 'Belgisch mirakel', Expo 58, het gouden tijdperk van de openbare werken, honderd jaar ontwerptechnologie in de bouwwereld, restauratie van het bouwkundige erfgoed, de overgang naar de euro, duurzaamheid en ecologie en, tot slot, de toekomst. ‎

‎Michael Sweerts (1618-1664): Shaping the Artist and the Academy in Rome and Brussels ‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2015 Hardcover with dusjacket, 340 p., 58 b/w ill. + 42 colour ill., 216 x 280 mm, 2015 Languages: English. FINE CONDITION . ISBN 9782503555300.‎

‎This book examines the career of the Brussels artist Michael Sweerts through an examination of the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts that shaped his work and academy in the Netherlands and Italy in the seventeenth century. The Flemish artist Michael Sweerts has long been considered one of the most fascinating and enigmatic painters of the seventeenth century. His peripatetic career, which stretched from his native Brussels to Rome, and later Amsterdam and the Far East, included work for the papal family and the foundation of a drawing academy in the Southern Netherlands. Despite this rich and varied career, Sweerts has yet to be fully examined within the artistic, intellectual and cultural contexts of Brussels and Rome in the seventeenth century. This book aims to retrace the artistic traditions that shaped Sweerts? development and evolution as a painter, etcher and teacher, firmly situating him at the crossroads of artistic exchange between the Netherlands and Italy. The author demonstrates how Sweerts responded to contemporary notions of artistic practice and pedagogy in his work, and how he played a critical role in the formation of a Netherlandish academic tradition. Approaching Sweerts from these new perspectives, this book examines the classicizing and artistic contexts of Brussels as a center of tapestry production, and reconstructs Sweerts? familial and social networks in the Netherlands and Rome. The artist emerges as a sophisticated figure amongst his contemporaries, including the French painter Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665), his patron, Camillo Pamphilj (1622-1666), nephew of Pope Innocent X, and the Flemish sculptor Francois Duquesnoy (1597-1643). Alongside a consideration of his sensitive scenes of peasants and artists in Rome?s urban landscape and strikingly life-like portraits and head studies, Sweerts? remarkable depictions of artists learning and practicing their profession are contextualized within the evolving conceptions of the academy in the early modern period. The author provides the first inclusive investigation of the artistic and socioeconomic frameworks that surrounded Sweerts? establishment of a drawing academy for artists and tapestry designers in Brussels in the 1650s. She brings to light the academy?s significance as a site of artistic learning and innovation, and the importance of working directly from life, while ultimately redefining Sweerts? place in the history of Flemish art. ‎

‎Pursuit of Happiness in Medieval Jewish and Islamic Thought. Studies Dedicated to Steven Harvey‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 432 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503591438.‎

‎Summary The articles in this volume explore the teachings on happiness by a range of thinkers from antiquity through Spinoza, most of whom held human happiness to comprise intellectual knowledge of that which is Good in itself, namely God. These thinkers were from Greek pagan, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian backgrounds and wrote their works in Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin. Still, they shared similar philosophical views of what constitutes the Highest Good, and of the intellectual activities to be undertaken in pursuit of that Good. Yet, they differed, often greatly, in the role they assigned to deeds and practical activities in the pursuit of this happiness. These differences were, at times, not only along religious lines, but also along political and ethical lines. Other differences treated the relationship between the body and intellectual happiness and the various ways in which bodily health and well-being can contribute to intellectual health and true happiness.

‎p re du si cle: The Early Modern Reception of Jean Gerson (1363-1429). Theological Authority between Middle Ages and Early Modern Era‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 522 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 2 tables b/w., Language(s): English. ISBN 9782503602257.‎

‎Summary This volume provides the first wide-ranging investigation of the post-fifteenth-century reception of Jean Gerson (1363-1429), chancellor of the University of Paris, guiding light of the Council of Constance, and arguably the most influential of late medieval theologians. His impact on early modern movements and thinkers paved the way for many developments still shaping our existence today. Besides his well-known influence in theology and church history, the chancellor left a significant impact in jurisprudence, human rights, art, music, education, literature, and even medicine; there is hardly an area of the humanities that did not pay at least some tribute to his authority, and there was almost no early modern political or religious movement in the West that neglected his name. Nearly all of the most prominent early modern intellectuals perceived him as an authority and father figure; an illustrious cohort of celebrities, including Thomas More, Martin Luther, King James I, Ignatius of Loyola, Girolamo Savonarola, Christopher Columbus, Bartholomew de Las Casas, and many others, relied on his writings and ideas. The geography of his late-fifteenth- and sixteenth-century reception reflects his pre-eminence, reaching from Spain to Scandinavia. TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1.
