The Image Revisited
At the age of nineteen, a young Luc Tuymans saw for the very first time the work of El Greco on a visit to the Szépmvészeti Múzeum in Budapest, an event that sparked his imagination and prompted him to embark on a journey that would lead him to be one of today's most influential artists. Almost forty years later, that life-changing experience is recounted and celebrated in The Image Revisited: Luc Tuymans in conversation with... , a book that acts both as a monograph and a history of art book. Timed to coincide with an exhibition organized by Tuymans at MuHKA, Antwerp, in June 2018, this richly illustrated book includes three conversations Tuymans had with art historians Hans Maria De Wolf, Gottfried Böhm and T.J. Clark in museums in Basel, Brussels and Budapest over the course of three years. What emerges, along with a fascinating discussion on the work of artists such as El Greco, Cézanne, Goya, de la Tour, Titian, Courbet, Mantegna, Hopper, Newman and Richter amongst others, is an insight into Tuymans' own creative process, and how the great art of the past inspired and motivated him.
The Passion of Images
From idolatry to iconoclasm: exploring passionate reactions to imagery across history Images have always elicited passionate responses, triggering reactions of veneration as well as destruction, of idolatry as well as iconoclasm. But what is the origin of their unique power? German art historian Gottfried Boehm (born 1942) seeks to answer this question, tracing the affective potential of images across Western history.

Bernhard Fuchs: Fathom
In Fathom 39 portrait photographs are reproduced on full-page plates. It is Bernhard Fuchs' second series of portraits and, like all of his other series to date, was several years in the making.We see people, photographed in the existent light of interior spaces, who handle the unspoken dialogue with the photographer in an enquiring manner.

«El giro icónico. Una carta. Correspondencia entre Gottfried Boehm y W. J. Thomas Mitchell (I)»
Ideas e imágenes han sido, desde sus orígenes, el material de lo filosófico. Las imágenes son asimismo, y según una de las retóricas comunes, un núcleo central de la comunicación y la cultura actuales y, de esta forma, un enclave básico para comprender e investigar las sociedades en las que nos movemos. Entre estos dos puntos de referencia, el énfasis en la imagen como lugar del pensamiento y como cristalización de la historia de la cultura, se dirime en las últimas dos décadas un importante debate sobre la representación en imágenes. El presente volumen reúne textos clave de este reciente debate e, insistiendo en una perspectiva filosófica sobre el mismo, recoge la obra de ...
Habitus in Habitat II
Which are the aspects of cognition not yet focused on as such by brain research? How can one deal with them? This book sheds light on the other sides of cognition, on what they mean for forms and figurations of subjective, cultural and social understanding. In examining nuances, exceptions, changes, emotions and absence of emotions, automatized actions and meaningful relations, states of minds and states of bodies, the volume searches new approaches to these phenomena in discussing the relation between the habitus - the habits and behavioral attitudes involved in cognition - and its embeddedness in a habitat. By opening a dialogue between artistic knowledge and the sciences, Other Sides of Cognition investigates novel avenues and concepts within science and research. At a Berlin-based conference: Other Sides of Cognition, scholars gathered from various disciplines to discuss these issues. This book broadens perspectives on the interdisciplinary field encompassing perception, action and epistemic formations. It offers a new view on the related field of habitus and cognition.
Metamorphosis
How do we perdure when we and everything around us are caught up in incessant change? But the course of this change does not seem to be haphazard and we may seek the modalities of its Logos in the transformations in which it occurs. The classic term 'Metamorphosis' focuses upon the proportions between the transformed and the retained, the principles of sameness and otherness. Applied to life and its becoming, metamorphosis pinpoints the proportions between the vital and the aesthetic significance of life. Where could this metaphysical in-between territory come better to light than in the Fine Arts? In this collection are investigated the various proportions between the vital significance of ...
Many-Valued Aesthetics
»Yes, No, Perhaps« are the most written words in Mary Bauermeister's artworks. Together they stand for the concept of many-valued aesthetics in the German artist's oeuvre - an aesthetic that Bauermeister developed using many-valued logic. Hauke Ohls brings the artist's central groups of works in context with each other as well as with the neo-avant-garde of the post-war period in Europe and the USA. He shows that the development of Bauermeister's art may appear disparate, but her canvas and relief works, drawings and writing pictures, lens boxes and stone pictures are characterized by a reciprocal relationship of combinations and interconnections. Through the ubiquitous use of meta-references, the entire oeuvre ultimately appears as an interconnected assemblage.
