After One Hundred Years
The exhibition "Meisterwerke muhammedanischer Kunst" that took place in Munich in 1910 marked a turning point in the approach to Islamic Art. The show attempted to break free of Orientalism and exotic fantasies and, in doing so, set a new standard for the reception of Islamic art in Europe. Moreover, naming the Islamic artefacts masterpieces, it layed claim to bestow upon Islamic art “a place equal to that of other cultural periods”. This book is the first comprehensive study on this path-breaking exhibition. It includes a wealth of unpublished material and numerous novel ideas on the subject and addresses the exhibition’s historical context, organization, realization and display as well as its reception in the West and its later influence on the study of Islamic art.
Art of Illusion
To survey art history as a whole was a pressing task for a generation of German scholars around the mid-nineteenth century. Their projections of a historicist chain of artworks ranged from textual narratives without illustrations, to separate picture compendia as well as images of a more allegorical kind. Other means with which to picture art history as part of a virtually all-encompassing cultural history were the museums of art erected in Germany at the time, in Berlin and Munich especially. This book deals with practices of representing art history in various media. This includes post-Hegelian texts and engravings of art history from the 1840s onwards, by Franz Kugler, Julius Schnorr and ...
Counterfactualism in the Fine Arts
Counterfactual thinking has become an established method to evaluate decisions in a range of disciplines, including history, psychology and literature. Elke Reinhuber argues it also has valuable applications in the fine arts and popular media. A fascination with the path not taken is a logical consequence of a world saturated with choices. Art which provokes and explores these tendencies can help to recognise and contextualise the impulse to avoid or endlessly revisit individual or collective decisions. Reinhuber describes the term in broad strokes through the disciplines to show how counterfactualism finds shape in contemporary art forms, especially in photography, film, and immersive and i...
Romantik 5
The articles in this number of Romantik include new research on reverie and dream as the locus of metaphor in Percy Bysshe Shelley's Prometheus Unbound; an enquiry into the Royal Swedish Society for the Publication of Manuscripts Relating to Scandinavian History and the role it played in the construction of national memory and heritage; a discussion of Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg's and John Martin's iconographies of the sublime in the intersection between art and popular visual spectacle; archival discoveries related to the publication of medieval romance in early nineteenth-century Britain; and a reassessment of The Prelude as a formation narrative, arguing that William Wordsworth displays a conflicted attitude to the growth and progress usually found in the Bildungsroman. The journal also contains reviews of new books on the romantic period published in the Nordic countries.

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.
Architektur Alpiner Sicherheit
The use of protective measures against natural hazards is a key factor in alpine culture. It is surprising that discussion of this is conducted internally, but scarcely perceived by the public. A synopsis of the protective architecture, the perceived image of the Alps, and the slow process of adapting public images to the condition of the structures brings together what has been considered separately in the past. That is, the landscapes consumed by tourists must first be stabilised at considerable cost. This book shows how the production of safety zones is effective in the field of tension between aesthetics and technology and offers perspectives on landscape that extend beyond the assumed unspoilt quality of nature. Interdisciplinary study explaining image production relating to safety architectures in the Alps for the cultural exploitation of service-providing landscapes Tapping into a broad field of image documents Instructive contribution to the topic of "political landscape" Look inside
Doppelte Artikulation
Neuere Kunst im Kontext Der Titel der Schriften zur neueren Kunst II ist Claude Lévi-Strauss zu verdanken, dessen Denken eine Generation geprägt hat. Er spricht in Anlehnung an Marcel Proust über das Verfertigen von Malerei, Musik, Literatur und bezeichnet die von Proust beschriebene Technik als „doppelte Artikulation“. Im vorliegenden Band stehen vor allem Werke im Fokus, bei denen die „Einheiten erster Ordnung“ selbst künstlerische Werke sind, die zitiert, neu kombiniert, bearbeitet werden. Von „primären Objekten“ und von „doppelter Artikulation“ zu sprechen vertieft unser Verständnis für die Unterbrechung von Sequenzen und die Störung kultureller Überlieferungen. Die im Buch diskutierten Kunstwerke schreiben sich in einen Überlieferungszusammenhang ein, der für die Erfahrung in der jeweiligen Gegenwart modifiziert und erneuert wird. Band II der Schriften zur neueren Kunst, anknüpfend an Existenz und Form (2015) Diskussion einzelner Kunstwerke und der Funktion von Kunst in der Kultur Von Rembrandt und Sturtevant über Hyun-Sook Song bis zu Latifa Echakhch, Katharina Grosse, Pamela Rosenkranz und Louise Guerra

Jenseits des Illustrativen
English summary: In multidisciplinary approaches and case studies, this volume combines two central fields of recent historical research from antiquity to the twentieth century: the own momentum of visual media and political communication beyond a narrowly institutional notion. The political is thought to be generally characterised by the striving for broad recognition of resources of authority. Political communication, therefore, revolves around regulatory provisions, rules of interaction and power relations and, above all, their collective acknowledgement. From this perspective, a wide variety of pictorial rhetoric about obligation and liability comes into view. Extending the classical can...
