‎Questioning Pictorial Genres in Dutch Seventeenth-Century Art. Definitions, Artistic Practices, Market & Society‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 402 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:130 col., 19 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503596242.‎

‎Summary Church interiors, cortegaerdjes, scenes of everyday life, tronies, landscapes, spoockerijen, group portraits, bambocciate, hunting scenes, history paintings, sottoboschi, still lives and many other subjects: the wide variety of pictorial genres and sub-genres in which Dutch artists specialized is a key component in our perception of Dutch seventeenth-century art. Yet the epistemological framework constituted by genre definitions, conventions and hierarchies is far from self-evident, nor does it necessarily reflect how people in the seventeenth-century thought about artworks. In fact, art literature of the period is largely silent on these matters and artists do not appear to have followed an established set of principles. This volume examines the way pictorial genres can be, and have been, defined by artists, theorists, audiences and art historians; how individual artists conceived the subject matter of their artworks; and how society and the art market contributed to the development of certain subjects. As such, it embraces the complex and often messy reality of pictorial genres in seventeenth-century Dutch art.

‎Philippe Van Snick (1946-2019) is een Belgisch kunstenaar die woonde en werkte in Brussel, waar hij jarenlang lesgaf aan de kunsthogeschool Sint Lukas.Hij was in de jaren 60 en 70 actief als een conceptueel en minimalistisch kunstenaar en werkte met diverse materialen zoals film, fotografie, en installaties. Weerkerende thema's zijn de ellips, het dualisme, en het decimaal systeem. Vanaf 1979 en vooral in de jaren 80 en 90 zal hij zich vooral wijden aan de abstracte minimalistische schilderkunst. Bekende motieven van Philippe Van Snick zijn dan het dag-nacht motief, gesymboliseerd in de kleuren blauw en zwart, en het tiendelige kleurenpalet met de kleuren rood, geel en blauw (als hoofdkleuren),oranje, groen en violet (als secundaire kleuren), goud en zilver (als kleuren met fysische waarde) en wit en zwart(als niet-kleuren). Aan dit boek werd heel geconcentreerd samengewerkt door de reeds terminaal zieke kunstenaar en grafisch ontwerpster Inge Ketelers. Helaas heeft hij de gedrukte publicatie niet meer in handen kunnen nemen.‎

‎Boeken kan je niet alleen lezen, je kan er ook mee pronken. De schitterendste boekbanden zijn de geborduurde, gemaakt van zijde, goud, zilver en parels afkomstig uit de hele wereld. Pure luxe, maar ook stille getuigen van een maatschappij in beweging. Meer dan dertig geborduurde boekbanden uit de periode 1585-1670 hebben de tand des tijds doorstaan. Ze liggen zorgvuldig opgeslagen in musea en bibliotheken in de hele wereld. Dit was d bloeiperiode van de borduurkunst, maar er is bijzonder weinig werk bewaard gebleven. Textiel versleet, goud en parels werden hergebruikt. Samen met de vele portretten van mannen en vrouwen in rijkelijke kleding met fijn geborduurde lijfjes en handschoenen vertellen de boekbanden een uitzonderlijk verhaal. De eigenaars van deze pronkstukjes, veelal kerkboeken, lijken te zeggen: Kijk mij! Ik ben rijk, ik verkeer in de beste kringen, maar ik ben ook een goed christen. MARIKE VAN ROON is sinds 2022 zelfstandig kunsthistoricus, gespecialiseerd in textielgeschiedenis. Als hoofdconservator bij het Allard Pierson, de erfgoedinstelling van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, ontdekte zij de betekenis van de geborduurde boekband.‎

‎This Land Is Your Land : Across America by Air‎

‎, Aperture Book 1997, 1997 Hardcover, 106 pages, English, 325 x 290 mm, book in fine condition, with pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9780893816049.‎

‎This Land Is Your Land offers a unique perspective on the American landscape, making the familiar fantastic, as well as an aesthetic experience of dizzying proportions. Marilyn Bridges takes us on an inspiring journey, as we look down together on the fleeting moments and lasting signatures of the United States that are etched on our continent. An aerial photographer who has explored ancient cultures around the world for more than a decade, Bridges has now focused her attention on a subject no less intriguing: the grandeur of America. By flying and photographing at low altitudes, and by maintaining a sensuous closeness with her subject, Bridges avoids the simplistic representation of landscape as mere design. Divided regionally, This Land Is Your Land accents the variety of America, but follows civilization's uneasy interaction with the environment as a common thread. We see the earth shaped and reshaped to service humanity. Monuments rise to celebrate our achievements even as nature wards off intrusion. Fledgling communities spring up among lava and sand. Scars left by clear-cutting, mining, and nuclear waste raise concerns for the future. Yet here, too, there is ironic wit. The towering presidential portraits at Mount Rushmore appear dwarfed by surrounding mountains. The Statue of Liberty hides in plain sight, completely swathed in scaffolding. From the intimacy of a farmhouse to the majesty of the Grand Canyon, Bridges's original vision provides an unequaled perspective on the land in which we live. In the Book's Essay by acclaimed writer William Least Heat-Moon, and the Afterword by Bridges, we are given insight into the photographer's working process and the inspiration behind her images. Certainly, This Land Is Your Land contains an urgent environmental message; in every photograph we sense a longing for a purer time, before humanity dismissed the land's indigenous curves and flow in favor of the urban grid. Still, Bridges offers no facile solutions or sentimental appeals. Faced with the jumble of American progress, we look for a vision of nature as idyllic--only to be awed by the savage forces unleashed by Mount St. Helens and the Kilauea volcano. Never what you expect, This Land Is Your Land provides page after page of visual surprises. The book inspires in us a haunting and profound admiration for a vibrant land which will prevail long after our civilization has gone.‎

‎Parmi les nabis, douard Vuillard (1868-1940), le nabi la barbe rousse , est certainement celui qui poss da le plus grand nombre d'estampes ukiyo-e. Il en r unit jusqu' cent quatre-vingt. Inspir es des paysages du Japon, de geishas ou d'acteurs de kabuki, elles sont sign es des ma tres de la gravure sur bois. C'est vraisemblablement la grande exposition consacr e l'art du Japon par l' cole des Beaux- Arts en 1890 qui a d cid Vuillard s'int resser une esth tique jusqu'alors ne glig e par les circuits acad miques. Pas plus que les ma tres de l'ukiyo-e, Vuillard ne pr tend d livrer d'autre message que la c l bration de la vie quotidienne et de la nature. De 1890 la Premi re Guerre mondiale, les r f rences l'art japonais impr gnent profond ment son oeuvre de peintre, de dessinateur et de lithographe. Sans faire de concession un exotisme tr s galvaud , il enrichit son art en adoptant librement les codes mis l'honneur au pays du Soleil-Levant.‎
