1960-1975 : Années Pop, Années Choc / Pop Years, Shock Years
Snoeck Publishers (France), 2023. 1. PB, 297 x 210 mm, 176 p, 140 illustraties, EN-FR edition, ISBN: 9789461617828
The Fondation Gandur pour l'Art and the Mémorial de Caen present Pop Years, Shock Years, 1960-1975 their second exhibition combining art and history. Placed under the joint curatorship of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art and the Mémorial de Caen, this exhibition continues the artistic and historical exploration initiated in 2020 with The Liberation of Painting, 1945-1962. This first collaboration recalled how abstract art imposed itself immediately after the war, faced with the impossibility for artists like Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung or Pierre Soulages to continue to represent the world with the traditional means of paint. This second cycle allows us to understand how, at the turn of the 1960s young artists turned away from the then dominant abstraction to propose a return to the image and the figure. Through cross-examinations between works of art, archives and period objects, the exhibition invites the public to immerse themselves in this period of history as complex as it is striking. *** La Fondation Gandur pour l'Art et le Mémorial de Caen présentent Années pop, années choc, 1960-1975 leur seconde exposition croisant art et histoire. Placée sous le commissariat conjoint de la Fondation Gandur pour l'Art et du Mémorial de Caen, cette exposition poursuit l'exploration artistique et historique initiée en 2020 avec La libération de la peinture, 1945-1962. Cette première collaboration rappelait comment l'art abstrait s'est imposé dans l'immédiat après-guerre, face à l'impossibilité pour des artistes comme Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung ou Pierre Soulages de continuer à représenter le monde avec les moyens traditionnels de la peinture. Ce second cycle permet quant à lui de comprendre comment, au tournant des années 1960 en France, de jeunes artistes se sont détournés de l'abstraction alors dominante pour proposer un retour à l'image et à la figure. Au travers de regards croisés entre oeuvres d'art, archives et objets d'époque, l'exposition invite le public à une immersion dans cette période de l'histoire aussi complexe que marquante.

ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE! Les drôles d'histoires de l'école de Bristol
Snoeck Publishers, 2021. PB+, 280 x 230 mm, 280 p, 170 illustraties, Texte en Francais. ISBN: 9789461616173
A l'occasion de sa saison consacre´e a l'art britannique, le muse´e des Beaux- Arts souhaite mettre en lumiere cet aspect particulier de la peinture anglaise en pre´sentant, du 28 mai au 20 septembre 2020 a la Galerie des Beaux-Arts, une exposition intitule´e « Absolutely Bizarre. Les dro^les d'histoires de l'Ecole de Bristol» en collaboration avec le Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Le musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux se distingue parmi les musées de région par la qualité de son fonds d'art britannique (peintures, dessins, estampes et sculptures). Ce corpus de diverses provenances (Musée Nationaux Récupération, legs ou achats), essentiellement composé de portraits et de tableaux d'Histoire, compte des oeuvres de Sir Joshua Reynolds ou de Sir Thomas Lawrence, ainsi que d'artistes plus rares en France comme Benjamin West et Johan Zoffany. Le public n'a que rarement l'occasion d'admirer ces trésors dans leur ensemble. L'événement Une belle saison britannique organisé au musée des Beaux-Arts et à la galerie des beaux-arts de Bordeaux propose de remédier à cela au travers de deux expositions qui rythmeront simultanément le printemps et l'été 2020. Les collections d'art britannique du musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, l'un des rares musées de région riche de ce patrimoine, forment un corpus cohérent d'une trentaine de tableaux, dessins, estampes et sculptures. L'occasion de les découvrir au sein d'une exposition inédite, aux côtés d'oeuvres prêtées exceptionnellement par le musée du Louvre, partenaire de notre belle saison britannique, constitue un événement majeur du printemps - été 2020. Une part importante de cette exposition est consacrée à l'art du portrait, domaine dans lequel excellaient les peintres britanniques depuis le XVIe siècle. Les maîtres du genre sont tous représentés, à commencer par Sir Anton van Dyck qui contribua au renouvellement des codes de l'art du portrait comme en atteste le modello de son Double portrait de Charles-Louis de Simmeren et du prince Rupert de Palatinat, neveux du roi (musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux). Suivent ensuite Sir Joshua Reynolds, représenté par son célèbre Master Hare (musée du Louvre) et par plusieurs portraits saisissants (dont Richard Robinson, évêque d'Armargh, musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux), mais aussi Allan Ramsay et Gilbert Stuart, auteurs de merveilleux portraits féminins. Ce tour d'horizon du portrait britannique culmine avec celui de John Hunter, par Sir Thomas Lawrence (musée des Beaux-Arts, Bordeaux). Dans le domaine de la peinture d'Histoire, l'exposition réserve une belle place à des artistes peu représentés en France : James Ward, avec un superbe Baptême du Christ (musée du Louvre), Benjamin West et Johan Zoffany, représentés par de grands tableaux à thématiques mythologiques. Notons également la représentation du genre typiquement anglo-saxon de la « conversation piece » (portrait narratif de groupe) ainsi que celle du paysage, incarné par des oeuvres atypiques conçues en réaction au courant du Sublime (John Martin, Macbeth et les trois sorcières, musée des Beaux-Arts). C'est donc un voyage captivant au gré d'oeuvres novatrices et audacieuses qu'offre le musée des Beaux-Arts, avec la complicité du musée du Louvre, en guise de première partie de la Belle Saison britannique.

RÊVES DE BONHEUR : Le Mythe de L'Age d'or de Brueghel à Matisse
IT-SILVF, 2023. 1. HB, 270 x 210 mm, 160 p, 110 illustrations, FR edition, Publication date: Aug. 23. ISBN: 9788836655199
L'âge d'or : sans doute le mythe antique qui a le plus inspiré philosophes, poètes et artistes. Relaté par Hésiode et Ovide, iI raconte ce moment suspendu, à l'aube de l'humanité, quand les humains vivaient en paix avec eux-mêmes, en parfaite harmonie avec les dieux et la nature. Une nature encore bienfaisante et abondante. Ce rêve de bonheur s'incarne différemment selon les époques et les sociétés. Après sa pleine vitalité durant l'Antiquité, le mythe traverse le Moyen Âge. Puis, à partir de la fin du XVe siècle jusqu'au XVIIe siècle, il connaît un véritable retour en grâce : invoqué par les princes, représenté par les artistes, il est cité à profusion dans les textes tant poétiques qu'apologétiques. Mais à partir du XVIIIe siècle, le mythe de l'âge d'or va connaître une sorte de déclin. De cet « appauvrissement », qui pouvait laisser craindre un abandon de toute référence à ce récit antique et mythologique, va ressurgir au XIXe siècle une véritable réappropriation. Ce mythe des origines de l'humanité va présenter cependant un nouveau visage, ouvrant une nouvelle tradition de figuration. Le mythe se transforme : de projet théogonique et poétique - avec Hésiode et Ovide, célébrés par Ingres ou Maurice Denis - il devient projet politique, social, voire utopique. Dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, il va cristalliser les espoirs d'un monde meilleur en réponse directe aux difficultés, crises et bouleversements que connaît l'Europe à cette époque.

The Making and Meaning of the Liber Floridus : A Study of the Original Manuscript, Ghent, University Library, MS 92
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2015. IV+355 p., 22 b/w ill. + 98 colour ill., 148 b/w line art, 240 x 280 mm , English, Hardcover, dustjacket ISBN: 9781909400221
The Liber Floridus (1121), composed, written and illustrated by Canon Lambert of Saint-Omer, is the earliest illustrated encyclopedic compilation of the Latin West. Its autograph (Ghent, University Library, MS 92), a masterpiece of Romanesque book art and one of the most complicated manuscripts ever made, has been studied by the author for almost half a century. The present book is the culmination of this research and provides a detailed codicological and textual analysis, showing how this wonderful book was put together and which are the hidden ideas Lambert sought to develop in its hundreds of texts and pictures dealing with astronomy, geography, natural history, history, religion and countless other subjects. The book is illustrated with some 100 colour reproductions and numerous diagrams of quire structures. Three tables help the reader to understand the author?s argument, and full indices give access to the text and provide the basis for further investigation of individual chapters and pictures.

Viva la Frida!
Life and Art of Frida Kahlo
Uitgeverij Wbooks 2021, 2021. 1e druk. Hardcover, 216 pages, English, 295 x 240 mm, many illustrations in colour, . ISBN: 9789462584594
For over more than four decades, Frida Kahlo has become the world's most renowned Mexican artist. Since recent years, the collection of clothing and personal artifacts from the Frida Kahlo Museum - known colloquially as the Blue House - has also been exhibited outside of Mexico with overwhelming success. Much has been written about Frida Kahlo. WBOOKS wanted to create a book that would be different from existing publications, not only in terms of content but also in terms of design. It contains some 50 of Frida Kahlo's paintings and drawings, as well as personal attributes such as clothing, her sunglasses, her Revlon lipstick and the corsets and prostheses that she had to wear due to a serious accident at a young age. This publication is a fascinating extension of the exhibition Viva la Frida! in The Netherlands. It not only celebrates and delves into Kahlo's life and art by colourfully displaying her photographs and home; her self-expression and self-fashioning and her artistic influences. It also goes beyond the artist, acknowledging the pop culture icon she is today, by exploring her undeniable impact on art, fashion and music

KUNST VERSUS SCHOONHEID : Wanneer stenen met eieren dansen
Ludion, 2022. 1. Paperback, 111 pagina's, NL, 240 x 170 mm, NIEUW, illustraties in kleur / z/w. ISBN: 9789493039711
We leven in een tijd waarin het kunstaanbod groter is dan ooit, grote groepen mensen in aanraking komen met hedendaagse kunst, kunst meer en meer online verhandeld wordt, er ieder jaar nieuwe kunstmusea en foundations geopend worden. Er gaat geen zomer voorbij of ieder dorp in Vlaanderen organiseert zijn kunstroute. De kunstscholen leveren jaarlijks honderden kunstenaars af. De overheid blijft niet achter en subsidieert met gulle hand een lappendeken aan musea, evenementen en kunsthalletjes. In de media worden kunstenaars opgevoerd als flink renderende aandelen En toch werkt hedendaagse kunst vaak verwarrend en ondergaat het publiek nogal kritiekloos wat het voorgeschoteld krijgt. Dat komt, volgens auteur Adrian David, omdat we eigenlijk met verouderde ideeën de moderne kunst tegemoet treden. Begrippen als ''schoonheid' of 'verbeelding' zijn volstrekt achterhaald en zetten ons op het verkeerde been wanneer we oog in oog staan met werk van El Greco, Goya, Manet, Schiele, Bacon of Banksy. Het avontuur van de kunst stopt niet zoals de voorbije dertig jaar werd aangetoond hoe de Chinese School die sedert 1991 de anarchie omarmde. Aan de hand van deze en andere voorbeelden denkt Adrian David na over kunst en, bij uitbreiding, over het mens-zijn. Een toegankelijk, vlijmscherp en rijk geïllustreerd boek, geschreven door een gepassioneerde kenner en oprechte kunstliefhebber. Maar bovenal een noodzakelijk boek.

Adrian Ghenie: The Fear of Now
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, 2023. 1. Hardcover, 96 pages, ENG, 305 x 284 x 15 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN: 9781739651626
New oil paintings and charcoal drawings fusing autobiographical reverie and histories of trauma Romanian-born, Berlin-based painter Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) merges art historical and contemporary cultural references--the art of Otto Dix and Philip Guston fused with the hybrid, monstrous aliens in the animated series Rick and Morty, for example. The Fear of Now follows this method, interrogating the intrusive influence of technology on everyday life while experimenting with technical processes that evoke both the heavily lined figures of Egon Schiele as well as the sensuality of the Baroque greats. This catalog presents this new body of oil paintings alongside their corresponding charcoal preparatory drawings. Contorted, amorphous self-portraits rendered in dusky pink, taupe, gray and blue share space with six large-scale paintings of Marilyn Monroe that reconceive Warhol's iconic silkscreen prints. An interview between the artist and curator Nicholas Cullinan also features.

The book ?Paulo Climachuska?, from the series Arte e Tecnologia, sponsored by Oi Futuro, presents the work of artist Paulo Climachuska, with texts by Alberto Saraiva, Fernando AQ Mota and Tales Ab'Sáber. The book is part of the "Paulo Climachuska Re-subtractions" project, which included the Oi Futuro Flamengo exhibition and marked a new stage in the artist's career, in which the use of subtraction beads as a line - a feature that has become an icon has become his work ? has been replaced by references to games and clocks. In these works, Climachauska deepens her exploration of rationalism and mathematical precision, incorporating chance and time into her conceptual universe. In it he returns to numerical systems, which he sees as order and regulation of the world, but without clear figures.

Curiosa : La bibliothèque érotique
Editions de la Martinière] 2012, 2012. 1. Hardcover, 254 pages, Texte en Francais, 290 x 260 x 27 mm, belle exemplaire, beaucoup photos et illustrations. ISBN: 9782732452746
Curiosa, tel est le nom donné à la section d'une bibliothèque privée consacrée aux ouvrages sur l'érotisme, la pornographie, la sexualité. Et collectionner des livres érotiques, telle est l'une des passions du célèbre bibliophile italien Alessandro Bertolotti. Ce livre est le fruit de son travail de collectionneur. Les plus importants et les plus rares de ces erotica y sont présentés, avec leur couverture et quelques pages intérieures. Ils ne sont pas présentés dans un ordre chronologique, mais suivent un classement thématique : l'héroïne libertine, le couvent bordélique, l'école d'amour ou le sado-masochisme sont quelques-unes des catégories établies par l'auteur pour présenter environ 130 livres, du XVIIe siècle à nos jours, illustrés de gravures, peintures, dessins, photographies ou bandes dessinées.De Sade à Guido Crepax, de Leonor Fini à Robert Mappelthorpe, de Jean de la Fontaine à Georges Bataille, cet ouvrage nous fera parcourir l'infinie variété du désir et du plaisir, et de l'imagination humaine. Né en 1960, Alessandro Bertolotti est metteur en scène pour la télévision italienne (la Rai) depuis 30 ans.

The Book of Colour Concepts : 1686-1963 :
Taschen, 2024. 1. Hardcover, two vols. in slipcase, 24.3 x 30.4 cm, 846 pages, Multilingual (English, French, German, Spanish).²²²²²²²² ISBN: 9783836595650
The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity ? in carvings, markings, and cave paintings ? bear witness to humanity?s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton?s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ?dictionary? of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.

THE FANTASTIC GUSTAVE DORÉ
Prestel Publishing, 2023. 1. HB, 260 x 205 mm, 480 p, 23 Kleurenillustraties, 380 z/w illustraties, ENg edition , ISBN: 9783791379630
This glorious, authoritative, and unprecedented retrospective of Doré's prints and paintings, drawn from an oeuvre of more than 10,000 works, comes in a spectacularly ornate package that reflects the artist's own dramatic style. If you were a consumer of literature in the nineteenth century, chances are the volumes in your library featured the illustrations of Gustave Doré. From the Bible to Shakespeare, Balzac to Milton, Cervantes to Poe, Doré's intricate, romantic, and exuberant drawings brought great works to life, and were as treasured as the stories and poetry they depicted. Furthermore, as this magnificent book reveals, he was also a skilled sculptor, painter, and cartoonist. This book spans Doré's entire career, with chapters dedicated to specific works such as The Divine Comedy, Don Quixote, Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and medieval fairy tales-each featuring exquisite full-page reproductions that allow Doré's genius for line, shading, and texture to shine through. The authors also provide a background on the techniques that Doré employed to achieve his exquisite works. Fans of Doré will appreciate this volume's spectacular production, which features quarter binding, gold foil stamping, embossing on the cover and spine, a belly band, and silkscreen printing on three edges. Filled with incisive analysis and expert historical perspectives, this book is the consummate collector's item-a volume as expansive and sensational as the artist himself.

T, 2014. With black edged pages, Hardback, 267x222mm, 448p, English edition, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN: 9780500517482
Design touches every aspect of our lives and has become one of the most exciting and fast-moving industries, enlivening businesses, stimulating economies and solving humanitys most pressing problems. Increasingly connected to the developments in technology, design has also become one of the most dynamic areas of exploration, with design schools and professions exploding across the globe. It is difficult to keep pace with the most relevant innovations, to detect the signal from the noise of product releases and marketing campaigns, but one arbiter of the profession has been presenting the design worlds best work since 1995: Core77, a platform that some consider one of the very first online magazines, sponsoring reviews, lectures and exhibitions, and working with many of the leading design agencies and design-led companies, such as Apple, Nike, Philips, DuPont, Braun and many others. For the past several years, it has hosted a unique set of design awards, juried by the worlds design experts, which has attracted a dazzling spectrum of international practices. From consumer products to speculative ventures, from transportation to visual communication, from design writing to food design, the entrants and winners of the Core77 Design Awards capture the spirit and preoccupations of the design industry, and the best work chosen by panels of jury members that include design luminaries from the U.S., Europe, India and China. Designing Here/Now is no ordinary survey of the current state of design: it offers a large- scale overview of how design can change our personal and professional lives in fresh and often unexpected ways.

It's not every day that you hold such a beautiful and graphically appealing volume of poetry in your hands. See and read, that's what Arne Rautenberg says on almost 100 pages of collages and poems, with lyrical harlequinades and well thought-out pictorial poetry. The title says it all: Whoever hears it, hears the word "increase". Anyone who reads it reads a linguistically creative ?vermeeren?. Anyone who sees art as the focus thinks of Vermeer.

Lukas Roth : " Episode One"

When confronted with Lukas Roth´s photography one is immediately struck by its variety of subject, because the work doesn´t follow a single unified theme. The photos present urban scenes, isolated architecture and housing blocks as well as landscapes. People move about within these spaces but they could just as well be empty. It isn´t the objective documentation of an object or a situation that is the focus of interest here in the sense of an ?industrial archaeology?, but rather the opposite.

Susanne Rottenbacher studied stage design at Barnard College[1] from 1988 to 1991 in New York (B.A.) and then (1991-1992) completed a degree in light (MSc) at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning in London. She worked as a set designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a light designer for the "LichtKunstLicht" planning office. In this context, among other things, she designed the lighting design for the Federal Chancellery and the new government buildings. She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2007. Susanne Rottenbacher creates expansive installations from sculptural elements that can best be described as light-colored bodies. Her sculptures are characterised by great lightness and transparency and change in dialogue with the surrounding space and times of day. They penetrate the surrounding space like three-dimensional drawings and thus reinterpret it. The organically curved forms seem to be in dynamic motion and at the same time frozen in time and space
