Catalogus over het werk van de Nederlandse schilder, tekenaar en graficus (1930-2001).
Graham Foster's constructions can be seen as both sculpture or wall-based pictures, meditations on morality and virile fertility figures, works of rebellious desperation and self-mocking send-ups. This work shows how the dynamic symmetry of many of them is reminiscent at the same time of both New Guinea tribal make-up and germ warfare mask design.
This interdisciplinary book investigates the various ways in which North American and European modern and contemporary artists, authors, and musicians have returned to earlier works of their own, engaging in inventive revivals and transformations of the past in the present. The book is distinctive in its focus on such revisits, as well as in the diversity of art forms under review: in addition to visual art, the book explores fiction, poetry, literary criticism, film, rock music, and philosophy. This scope, together with the time-span covered in the book, from the 1850s to the twenty-first century, allows for a broad view on retrospection and revision. The case studies presented here offer a multifaceted exploration of the widely different goals to which practitioners of the arts have made retrospection and revision functional against the background of cultural, social, political, and personal forces.

In Margriet Luyten's photo series "Ella", "Stervelingen" and "Insomnia", which are in several respects intimate, it is particularly the way in which the subjects are framed that confronts us, as observer, both literally and figuratively with what Schopenhauer called 'the other side of the mountain'. The gum bichromate technique adds one more important dimension. The fact is that Luyten does not artificially resist the passing of time. In both technical and thematic terms, she subtly interweaves the permanently fleeting. In Margriet Luyten's ingeniously conceived photos, which deliberately incorporate an already long existing tradition into her contemporary work, we actually look twice into the eyes of the mysterious and irrevocable death.
