Frantisek Kupka. Catalogue Raisonné
Frantisek Kupka was a man of unusual breadth and versatility - a brilliant painter, intellectual, philosopher and visionary. After years of neglect, his work has finally started to attract the attention of the academic and the general public. Yet, there is still a palpable need to continue uncovering and learning more about his artistic journey. This aim is behind the publication of this catalogue raisonné of Frantisek Kupka's oil paintings developed by Adolf Loos Apartment and Gallery in cooperation with the National Gallery in Prague and the Austrian National Gallery Belvedere in Vienna. It is the first coherent catalogue raisonné of this artist, comprising 359 oil paintings.
The Jewish Persona in the European Imagination
This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers—Christian, secular, and Jewish—based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture.
