ART and the MIND – Ernst H. GOMBRICH
Ernst H. Gombrich, the Art Historian, master of both Continental thought and English language, became one of the world's most well-known representatives of the discipline. Half a century ago his testable theories transformed thinking on how to look at art. After only a few years during which semiotics appeared to render Sir Ernst's common-sense framework outdated, the rise of cognitive approaches has enabled him to recover internationally the status he once had in France as a radical thinker within modern philosophy. This book explores Gombrich's intellectual legacy by analysing some of the concepts and insights in the context of Image Science, the "Steckenpferd". The international contributors are original authorities in their own right, among them some of Gombrich's former students.
Reims on Fire
As the site of royal coronations, Reims cathedral was a monument to French national history and identity. But after German troops bombed the cathedral during World War I, it took on new meaning. The French reimagined it as a martyr of civilization, as the rupture between the warring states. Despite a history of mutual respect, the bombing of the cathedral caused all social, scientific, artistic, and cultural ties between Germany and France to be severed for decades. The resulting battle of words and images stressed the differences between German Kultur and French civilisation. Artists and intelligentsia caricatured this entrenched cultural dichotomy, influencing portrayals of the two nations...
Die gestörte Form
Architektur - ob gezeichnet, gemalt oder tatsächlich gebaut - vermittelt zumeist den Eindruck des Festen und Schützenden. Doch was geschieht, wenn dieses Symbol von Dauer und Beständigkeit ins Wanken gerät oder gar plötzlich zusammenbricht? Tatsächlich entstehen in der Kunst, häufiger als man vermutet, neben dem Bild der Ruine oder dem des intakten Bauwerks spektakuläre Darstellungen einstürzender Architektur. Die fundamentale Störung der Form und der Ordnung dient dabei stets als Vehikel eines elaborierten intellektuellen Konzeptes, das durch Verunsicherung, Belustigung, Irritation, Schock. dem Betrachter vermittelt werden soll. Aber letztendlich sprechen solche Kunstwerke auch immer unser Interesse am Außergewöhnlichen und unsere "Lust am Zerdeppern" an.
The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance
This important and innovative book examines artists' mobility as a critical aspect of Italian Renaissance art. It is well known that many eminent artists such as Cimabue, Giotto, Donatello, Lotto, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian traveled. This book is the first to consider the sixteenth-century literary descriptions of their journeys in relation to the larger Renaissance discourse concerning mobility, geography, the act of creation, and selfhood. David Young Kim carefully explores relevant themes in Giorgio Vasari's monumental Lives of the Artists, in particular how style was understood to register an artist's encounter with place. Through new readings of critical ideas, long-standing regional prejudices, and entire biographies, The Traveling Artist in the Italian Renaissance provides a groundbreaking case for the significance of mobility in the interpretation of art and the wider discipline of art history.
Mediality on Trial
This volume addresses controversies connected to the testing of the capacities and potentials of mediums. Today we commonly associate the term "medium" with the technical communication between transmitters and receivers. Yet this term likewise applies to those who cooperate with agencies that exceed the presumed domain of the material world. Insofar as one presumes a division between distinctly opposed categories of religion and the secular, technical media tend to be associated with the secular and human (trance) mediums tend to be associated with religion after 1900. This volume concerns the ways in which the term medium still marks an overlapping of – and thus problematizes – the afor...

Der Siebdruck und seine Druckträger
Andy Warhol, Victor Vasarely und Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Rupprecht Geiger oder Joseph Beuys sind nur einige der Künstler, in deren Werk der Siebdruck eine zentrale Rolle einnimmt. Warhols Porträt von Mao Zedong mit rotem Gesicht, Geigers leuchtend orange-farbene Punkte oder die Filzpostkarte von Beuys sind längst zu einem vertrauten Anblick geworden. Aber nicht jeder weiß auch, wie diese Bilder entstanden sind. Die vorliegende Arbeit von Uta Sienel kann man mit guten Gründen einen gewichtigen Baustein zur Erforschung des künstlerischen Siebdrucks nennen. Die Autorin bietet in ihrer Arbeit eine genaue Darstellung der zahlreichen beim Siebdruck verwendeten Druckträger und...
