Lee Miller. Man Ray
Model, photographer, muse, the first female war correspondent to report the horrors of the concentration camps liberated by American troops, and twentieth-century icon. Lee Miller was all this and much more. She went through life with passion and determination and life repaid her with love and friends, but also with pain and posthumous, or at least tardy, acknowledgement. Through approximately 140 photographs by Lee Miller and Man Ray, some objects d'art and video documents, loaned by Lee Miller Archives and Fondazione Marconi, Lee Miller. Man Ray. Fashion - Love - War intends to do justice to this woman as beautiful as she was clever and talented, taking her out of Man Ray's overpowering sh...
Giorgio de Chirico
An innovative analysis of the artistic poetics of the master of metaphysical painting. Through a selection of important works made during this master's career, this volume aims to conduct a critical revision of the artist's complex practice for the centenary of his so-called volte-face in 1919, the year he was criticised for leaving metaphysical painting (1910-1918) in favour of styles and techniques inspired by Classicism and the grand masters. Edited by the most important experts of De Chirico, The Face of Metaphysics promotes an innovative interpretation of the artist's oeuvre (both metaphysical, where the traditional confines of linear time and space are replaced by the doctrine of cycli...
De Chirico and the United Kingdom (c. 1916-1978)
De Chirico and the United Kingdom (c. 1916-1978) constitutes the first in-depth study into de Chirico?s lifelong relationship with the country. Detailing over 60 years? worth of activity through c. 550 documents, this publication establishes the fundamental importance that the UK played in the artist?s career with his work appearing in no less than 85 exhibitions, 49 of which are documented here for the first time. The recent discovery of extensive correspondence, press reviews and other documentation has enabled a thorough examination of three solo exhibitions held in London (Alex. Reid & Lefevre Ltd., 1938, Royal Society of British Artists, 1949, and Wildenstein Gallery, 1976); successful and failed acquisition bids for de Chirico?s artwork in the public sector, as well as the 1962-1964 controversy involving the Tate?s display of three paintings (on long-term loan from Edward James) that the artist denounced as fake.
Dark Toys
A wide-ranging look at surrealist and postsurrealist engagements with the culture and imagery of childhood We all have memories of the object-world of childhood. For many of us, playthings and images from those days continue to resonate. Rereading a swathe of modern and contemporary artistic production through the lens of its engagement with childhood, this book blends in-depth art historical analysis with sustained theoretical exploration of topics such as surrealist temporality, toys, play, nostalgia, memory, and 20th-century constructions of the child. The result is an entirely new approach to the surrealist tradition via its engagement with "childish things." Providing what the author describes as a "long history of surrealism," this book plots a trajectory from surrealism itself to the art of the 1980s and 1990s, through to the present day. It addresses a range of figures from Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Hans Bellmer, Joseph Cornell, and Helen Levitt, at one end of the spectrum, to Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Paolozzi, Claes Oldenburg, Susan Hiller, Martin Sharp, Helen Chadwick, Mike Kelley, and Jeff Koons, at the other.
The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenologies and Organization Studies
Phenomenological approaches to Management and Organization Studies offer a means to problematize 'appearances' in the field, allowing us to 'see' things in a different light and uncover what is hidden from our consideration by our theoretical or ideological assumptions. This handbook aims at showing the unexpected richness and diversity of phenomenological and post-phenomenological thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Arendt, or Scheler, as well as others belonging to the French new phenomenology (Marion, Henry) or the German neo-phenomenology (Schmitz). It also details the contributions of thinkers like Bachelard, Deleuze, or Foucault whose inscription and departures from phe...
Joan Miro
Behind the seemingly childish and innocent nature of Joan Miró's work lies a deep connection with Catalan tradition and the art of the past.0From his academic training through his first wild landscapes or still lifes to the influence of primitivism, Romanesque art or even Japanese calligraphy, "Joan Miró. The essence of things past and present" travels through over half a century of raw, sometimes wild, but always unexpected experimentation.0Around a hundred original works will be presented (paintings, gouaches, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, etc.), from prestigious international public and private collections, including the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró (Palma de Mallorca), the Fundació Joan Miró ( Barcelona), the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the Picasso-Paris National Museum, the Maeght Foundation or the LaM.00Exhibition: BAM, Mons, Belgium (08.10.2022 - 08.01.2023).

PIXELS & PAINTINGS “The discussion is firmly grounded in established art historical practices, such as close visual analysis and an understanding of artists’ working methods, and real-world examples demonstrate how computer-assisted techniques can complement traditional approaches.” —Dr. Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Van Gogh Museum The pioneering presentation of computer-based image analysis of fine art, forging a dialog between art scholars and the computer vision community In recent years, sophisticated computer vision, graphics, and artificial intelligence algorithms have proven to be increasingly powerful tools in the study of fine art. These methods—some adapted from fore...
The Walker
From Charles Dickens’ London to today’s megacities, a fascinating exploration of what urban walking tells us about modern life—for fans of Rebecca Solnit, Olivia Laing’s The Lonely City, and literary history. “A labyrinthine journey into the literature of walking and thinking,” as seen in the lives and works of Edgar Allan Poe, Virginia Woolf, Ray Bradbury, and other literary greats (Guardian). There is no such thing as a false step. Every time we walk we are going somewhere. Especially if we are going nowhere. Moving around the modern city is not a way of getting from A to B, but of understanding who and where we are. In a series of riveting intellectual rambles, Matthew Beaumon...
Curating Fascism
On the centenary of the fascist party's ascent to power in Italy, Curating Fascism examines the ways in which exhibitions organized from the fall of Benito Mussolini's regime to the present day have shaped collective memory, historical narratives, and political discourse around the Italian ventennio. It charts how shows on fascism have evolved since the postwar period in Italy, explores representations of Italian fascism in exhibitions across the world, and highlights blindspots in art and cultural history, as well as in exhibition practices. Featuring contributions from an international group of art, architectural, design, and cultural historians, as well as journalists and curators, this b...
