ISBN 9789061534815. Kunst in Belgi na 1975 is het langverwacht en monumentaal vervolg op het in 1983 door het Mercatorfonds gepubliceerde Kunst in Belgi na 1945 onder leiding van Karel J. Geirlandt. Veel is sindsdien veranderd: een nieuwe generatie kunstenaars heeft zich aangemeld en heeft, meer nog dan haar voorgangers, de weg gevonden naar de internationale kunstsc ne. Gezien het korte tijdsbestek en het sinds het einde van de jaren 1970 heersende stijlpluralisme, opteerde Florent Bex ervoor in 'Kunst in Belgi na 1975' verschillende specialisten - waaronder Michel Baudson, Michel Draguet, Johan Pas, Katrien Laenen en Lieven Van den Abeele - vanuit diverse visies en oogpunten thematische bijdragen te laten schrijven. De uitgebreide chronologie die achteraan in het boek is opgenomen biedt voor deze bijdragen het onontbeerlijke referentiekader. 'Kunst in Belgi na 1975' is een uiterst relevant boek dat een ware aanwinst betekent voor al wie ge nteresseerd is in de hedendaagse kunst. 3200 g.

Hardcover, 472 pages, ENG. edition, 295 x 235 nx 45 mm, illustrated dustjacket, NEW , with illustrations in color / b/w. ISBN 9780300267525. A radical re-examination of 2,500 years of European art, deconstructing and demystifying its long history from ancient to present How has art evolved from the pursuit of the ?ideal? human form to a black square on a white canvas? Why is a banana duct-taped to a wall worth more on the art market than a beautiful seventeenth-century landscape? By taking art for what it actually is ? a piece of stone or wood, a sheet of paper with some lines drawn on it, a painted canvas ? this lively and accessible account shows how seemingly meaningless objects can be transformed into celebrated works of art. Breaking with conventional notions of artistic genius, Koenraad Jonckheere explores how stories and emotions give meaning to objects, and why changing historical circumstances result in such shifting opinions over time. Tracing its story from ancient times to present, A New History of Western Art reframes the evolution of European art and radically reshapes our understanding of art history. 2650 g.

Over the course of his life, Arnout Balis (d. 2021) did a lot of thinking about and around Rubens. A principal beneficiary of this was the Corpus Rubenianum, that multi-volume catalogue of the work of the artist to which he devoted so much of his scholarly endeavour ? as author, and, still more, as the most generous of editors. But he also produced wide-ranging, as well as more closely detailed, studies on the artist that were written for a variety of contexts. Arnout Balis was an artist before he was an art historian, and the question of how Rubens channelled his ideas into visual form constantly attracted and intrigued him. He was fascinated, too, by the practicalities of the artist?s method of production, given the enormous output of Rubens?s studio. Not only did he rigorously assemble and analyse every scrap of information about pupils or associates of the master, but he made himself an expert in the work of each of Rubens?s artistic contemporaries. In all his investigations, whether involving the attribution of a painting, an iconographic puzzle or the solution to a historical problem, he took nothing for granted, treating any received idea or initial intuition with due scepticism until it could be shown to stand the test of the evidence, documentary and visual. The present volume shows the Balis method in action. It includes several studies already acclaimed as exemplary, and others which deserve to be more widely known. Five of them are made available here for the first time in English translation.
