‎, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 296 pagina's, met prachtige illustraties, 27c29cm, Nederlandstalige editie. ISBN 9789464941098.‎

‎Blik op een vernieuwd Bokrijk, een architecturale heropleving van eeuwenoud vakmanschap Bokrijk is klaar voor de toekomst. Wat begon als een gedurfde visie groeide uit tot een ambitieus project: de restauratie van 124 historische gebouwen in het Openluchtmuseum. Dit boek markeert het hoogtepunt van acht intense jaren van vakmanschap en research. Fotograaf Luc Daelemans brengt het gerestaureerde Bokrijk in beeld in de iconische Becher-stijl. De gebouwen kijken recht in de lens, steeds in dezelfde tonaliteit. Van vierkantshoeve tot zwingelkot of grenssteen, alle bouwwerken en objecten worden als evenwaardige protagonisten verbeeld. Ze komen tot leven in boeiende verhalen over de gebouwen zelf, hun bewoners en de gebruikte restauratietechnieken. Dat alles dankzij nieuw onderzoek met de hulp van lokale erfgoedcommunities uit heel Vlaanderen. De meerjarige restauratiecampagne vormde een uitgelezen kans om de interne expertise en het vakmanschap aan te scherpen en te delen. Het dynamische museum Bokrijk wil zo zijn interne expertise doorgeven aan volgende generaties en zijn rol als kenniscentrum bekrachtigen. Deze publicatie viert de voltooiing van de meerjarige restauratiecampagne van de erfgoedcollectie van Bokrijk in 2024.‎

‎Aujourd'hui m connu, Am d e de La Patelli re (1890-1932) est une des figures marquantes de l'art fran ais de l'entre-deux guerres. Son oeuvre s' labore sur peine dix ann es. Durant cette courte p riode, il r alise plus de neuf cents tableaux et tudes et s'impose comme l'un des peintres majeurs de sa g n ration, aux c t s d'Andr Dunoyer de Segonzac, Yves Alix, Henry de Waroquier ou Andr Favory. Ces artistes sont marqu s par le r alisme qui est alors la tendance pr dominante dans l'art fran ais. Ils refusent l'acad misme et ont int gr le souci d'ordre et de construction du cubisme. Ils ne forment pas un groupe homog ne mais tous s'affirment comme des ind pendants. Dans cette floraison d'individualit s, La Patelli re occupe une place singuli re. Homme d'une profonde spiritualit , son esth tique est faite de "la coexistence d' l ments contraires - mais non contradictoires" o se m lent ainsi soucis de construction et lyrisme, onirisme et ancrage dans le r el, attachement la figure de Delacroix et attention port e Picasso et Matisse... L'objectif de La Patelli re est de "transposer la nature par des moyens plastiques pour la situer dans un plan spirituel". Refusant tout esprit de syst me, il a d velopp une oeuvre qui se laisse difficilement enfermer dans une cat gorie tant elle appara t vari e dans ses th mes, sa forme et ses ambitions. L'ouvrage Am d e de La Patelli re, Les clats de l'ombre accompagne l'exposition organis e par les mus es de Roubaix, Bergues, Nantes et Beauvais et explore l'ensemble des facettes de cette production foisonnante. Des oeuvres r alis es durant la Premi re Guerre, aux premi res r ussites ancr es dans un r alisme onirique jusqu'aux derniers tableaux, au lyrisme exacerb .‎

‎Abraham and Rol‎

‎, Norma,Editions 2017, 2017 Hardcover, 176 pages, English, 305 x 235 mm, new book, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9782915542905.‎

‎It is a rare species, but it exists, as '60s art critic Pascal Renous pointed out on the subject of artistic couples. This designer-decorator duo of Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol met at Jacques Dumond's studio in 1955. The couple shares the same love of precision, line and plain colours. Their earliest joint creations were first exhibited at the Salon des artistes decorateurs, in Paris. Their furniture, made of wicker, wood and aluminium, twice won prizes at the Salon des artistes decorateurs (a sideboard in 1956 and an armchair in 1958), garnering notice from the public and professionals alike. Jean Royere did not hesitate to use their emblematic Soleil armchair (gold medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair) in the decoration of the palace of the Shah of Iran, in Teheran. Their light and functional designs are available today, re-edited by Yota Design. Abraham & Rol were also interior designers and intervened in this capacity for both individual clients and large corporate clients, such as Yves Rocher and Saint-Gobain, with the same precision and sense of composition that define their furniture pieces. Finally, the couple also expressed their creativity through architecture, their mastery of this discipline enabling them to design some twenty houses from the 1960s through the 2000s in the Ile-de-France region. Their homes are genuine inhabited sculptures, of which certain have become truly emblematic.‎

‎Original Man : The Tautz Compendium of Less Ordinary Gentlemen ‎

‎, Die Gestalten Verlag 2014, 2014 Hardcover, 240 pages, English, 265 x 220 mm, in fine condition, . ISBN 9783899555523.‎

‎Celebrating style, individuality, and joie de vivre, this book showcases 80 original men who will inspire readers to lead a less ordinary life. Original Man is a compendium of the stories of extraordinary men. From household names including Andy Warhol, Freddie Mercury, and Yves Saint-Laurent to lesser-known personalities, the 80 men presented here are incredibly diverse, yet all share entirely original lives. Featuring famous hell-raisers such as Iggy Pop, indomitable explorers including Ernest Shackleton, visionaries like Federico Fellini, and some less mainstream personalities such as Quentin Crisp or Takeshi Kitano, these biographies are as gripping as any fiction. This book is the brainchild of UK men's fashion maven Patrick Grant. As set about re-awakening the traditional Saile Row tailoring house of E. Tautz after a thirty-year slumber, he wanted to define the kind of man he aspired to clothe. Original Man is the compelling result of his musings--a collection of portraits of men who go beyond a veneer of stylish attire to wring every last drop out of life with their actions, thoughs, or words in a manner scarcely seen nowadays. These are not the biographies of those the world considers to be the best writers, thinkers, or adventurers (though undoubtedly some arguably are). Rather, this book celebrates those that have lived lives that are genuinely different. Whether in the life of a stylist, a libertine, an artist, or a hero, originality and historical precedence trumps prowess; the manner of their endeavors is what counts, not the end result. Reflecting Grant's personal background and experiences approximately half of the book's notable men come from the UK, a quarter from the US, and most of the remainder from Western Europe. Explaining his strong British bias, Grant states ''we seem to breed original characters (or celebrate them more vocally) at a rate which belies our relatively small population.'' Because a claim to inclusion requires sustained effort, not just a brief burst of activity, few of the men featured in Original Man are young. Some, such as Malcolm X and Ayrton Senna, died young, but had a lasting impact. The book also contains a few men well known for their hedonistic lifestyles such as Ozzy Osbourne and Oliver Reed, but it does not celebrate those who simply fritter their lives away at play unless it is done with the greatest sense of style. Often their tales are rather sad ones, like that of snooker player Alex Higgins, and are included in the hope that they are as precautionary as they are laudatory. Aware that there do not seem to be many equivalents to these stories today, Grant wishes to share these portraits to inspire readers--men and women alike--to try to live more interesting and original lives themselves.‎

‎ Odile Jacob, 1996, in/8 broché, 238 pages.‎

‎"L'illusion en médecine porte le joli nom de placebo. Elle soigne, guérit parfois. Elle fait disparaître l'eczéma du chien ou dormir le nourrisson insomniaque. Elle calme la toux, apaise l'anxiété ou soulage la douleur. Comment diable une substance inactive, sans effet pharmacologique prouvé, peut-elle avoir un tel pouvoir ? Et pourquoi donc les médecins exploitent-ils si peu, ou avec tant de mauvaise conscience, le phénomène ? C'est une passionnante enquête dans le monde de la maladie et des médicaments que nous propose Patrick Lemoine. Médecin, psychiatre spécialisé dans l'exploration et la prise en charge des troubles du sommeil et de la dépression, Patrick Lemoine est actuellement chef de service à Lyon où il se consacre au problème de la surconsommation des médicaments psychotropes, en France." ‎

‎Summary The Liber floridus is an encyclopedic compilation written in the first quarter of the twelfth century by a canon of Saint-Omer named Lambert. The work was conceived as an illustrated edition combining texts with images, with Lambert collecting earlier sources as well as contemporary literature in his attempt at synthesis and innovation. Time plays an important role, manifested in the liturgical calendar, the idea of the end of time, the movements of planets, the divisions of time in ages and years, local and universal history. Approached from a range of perspectives and from different disciplines, this volume investigates the reception of scientific ideas and the many concepts of time in the Liber floridus, conveyed in its images, texts, and diagrams, while also taking into account the various exegetical and philosophical contexts. The manuscript tradition of the Liber floridus is likewise considered, with particular attention given to the autograph manuscript, now held at the Ghent University Library, and to the oldest and most accurate copy of Lambert's autograph, now at the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenb ttel.

‎Peter Swinnen, Johan Anrys and Freek Persyn call themselves 51N4E, a name that refers to the geographic coordinates of their place of business, located in Brussels, Belgium. The somewhat immodest subtitle that underscores their cryptic collective moniker--Space Producers--has been justified by their transformations of dwelling spaces, their recent renovation of the Groeninge Museum in Bruges, and their most important commission to date, the conversion of an old brewery in Mechelen into a cultural center. One of the most talented and promising architecture bureaus in northern Europe, their collective has recently been awarded the prestigious Maaskant Prize for young architects, the most important prize in the Netherlands. Recent winners include Liesbeth van der Pol, Neutelings Rietdijk, and Adriaan Geuze--all Dutch, as you can see. 51N4E are the first non-Dutch winners ever. In recognition of this honor, 51N4E is being treated to a first monograph; Space Production will present a complete overview of the bureau's work, accompanied by essays about their distinctive design ideas.‎
