Nederlandstalige catalogus Petrus Christus: Renaissance Master of Bruges, paru a l'occasion de l'exposition organisee au Metropolitan Museum of Art a New York ( 14 avril-31 juillet 1994 ). Etat excellent. prima staat ! Petrus Christus als een kunstenaar met heel eigen gevoeligheden. Anders dan Van Eyck, die in dienst van de Bourgondische hertogen werkte, vond Christus zijn clientèle onder de burgers en de rijke buitenlandse kooplieden die zich in Brugge hadden gevestigd. Om die reden weerspiegelt zijn werk in menig opzicht de artistieke normen van zijn tijd op een veelomvattender wijze dan de kunst van Van Eyck, en is de studie van zijn leven en werk van bijzonder belang voor een beter begrip van de vroege kunst in de Nederlanden.

Essay over de invloed van het cultuurpessimisme van de Duitse filosoof op het werk van de Nederlandse schilder (1900-1983).

"This book is the first to describe the growing convergence during the last decade towards a new classical style - a return to painting and building within the western classical tradition. Often misread as Neo-Conservatism, this style cuts across the socio-political spectrum as a radical departure from Modernism. Like the revolutionary classicism of the 1790s and the Free-Style Classicism of the 1900s, it has social and moral roots and is variable in genre. With his customary style and originality, Jencks places this international movement in a historical context and defines the intentions which inform it, the rules which govern it, and the salient characteristics of its various manifestations. In art, five major trends are distinguished: Metaphysical Classicism, which includes Carlo Maria Mariani, Gerard Garouste and Malcolm Morley; Narrative Classicism, which embraces the work of Hockney and Kitaj; Allegorical Classical as exemplified by the work of, among others, Stone Roberts, Bruno Civitico and Lincoln Perry; Realist Classicism, including artists as diverse as John De Andrea and Ben Johnson; and Classical Sensibility, which covers, among others, Avigdor Arikha, Michael Andrews and Milet Andrejevic. Architecture is split into four major groups - the Fundamentalists, Revivalists, Urbanists and Eclectics - and the work of architects as diverse as Takefumi Aida, Leon Krier, Robert Venturi, James Stirling and Michael Graves is discussed."--BOOK JACKET.

A good hot bath is one of the most sensual pleasures in life. More than a matter of cleanliness, it holds a mirror up to the prevailing culture - a social activity at the Roman baths, an act of purification in the Oriental hammam, contemplative in the Japanese furo and restorative in the Scandinavian sauna. Revealing the secrets of bathrooms from the hedonistic and Epicurean world of the Roman thermae to the simmering warmth of the medieval bathhouses, from the 19th-century cabinet de toilette in its disguise as a boudoir to the comfort and technological efficiency of the modern bathroom, 'The Book of the Bath' is an exceptionally well-documented and beautifully illustrated account of bathing through the ages.

In this book, photography historians Flip Bool and Lienke Moerman extensively describe and document the life and work of the Rotterdam photographer Jan Kamman, a pioneer of New Photography. This modernist movement advocated the most objective use of photographic possibilities while eschewing the artistic interventions and pretentiousness of the 'art photography' in vogue at the time. Kamman specialized in advertising and architectural photography. Kamman's archives were destroyed by the bombardment of Rotterdam in May 1940, which is one of the reasons why his work has not received as much attention as that of his kindred spirits Gerrit Kiljan, Paul Schuitema and Piet Zwart.
