Books > Arts & Architecture > The arts: general issues
This co-edited volume offers new insights into the complex
relations between Brussels and Vienna in the turn-of-the-century
period (1880-1930). Through archival research and critical methods
of cultural transfer as a network, it contributes to the study of
Modernism in all its complexity. Seventeen chapters analyse the
interconnections between new developments in literature (Verhaeren,
Musil, Zweig), drama (Maeterlinck, Schnitzler, Hofmannsthal),
visual arts (Minne, Khnopff, Masereel, Child Art), architecture
(Hoffmann, Van de Velde), music (Schoenberg, Ysaye, Kreisler,
Kolisch), as well as psychoanalysis (Varendonck, Anna Freud) and
cafe culture. Austrian and Belgian artists played a crucial role
within the complex, rich, and conflictual international networks of
people, practices, institutions, and metropoles in an era of
political, social and technological change and intense
internationalization. Contributors: Sylvie Arlaud, Norbert

From Eugene Delacroix's interpretation of the 1830 French
revolution to Uli Edel's version of the Baader-Meinhof Gang,
artistic representations of historical subjects are appealing and
pervasive. Movies often adapt imagery from art history, including
paintings of historical events. Films and art shape the past for us
and continue to affect our interpretation of history. While
historical films are often argued over for their adherence to "the
facts," their real problem is realism: how can the past be
convincingly depicted? Realism in the historical film genre is
often nourished and given credibility by its use of painterly
references. This book examines how art-historical images affect
historical films by going beyond period detail and surface design
to look at how profound ideas about history are communicated
through pictures. Art and the Historical Film: Between Realism and
the Sublime is based on case studies that explore the links between
art and cinema, including American independent Western Meek's
Cutoff (Kelly Reichardt, 2010), British heritage film Belle (Amma
Asante, 2013), and Dutch national epic Admiral (Roel Reine, 2014).
The chapters create immersive worlds that communicate distinct
ideas about the past through cinematography, production design, and
direction, as the films adapt, reference, and transpose paintings
by artists such as Rubens, Albert Bierstadt, and Jacques-Louis
David.
As you proceed on your path to personal growth and want to gain
insight into what prevents you from being the husband, wife,
parent, or creative person you were born to be, benefit from this
inspiring and easy-to-use workbook by T.D. Jakes, author of the
"New York Times "bestseller "Let It Go: Forgive So You Can Be

More than a companion piece to "Let It Go, "this is a guide through

your life.

of forgiveness.
This work sets out to consider the fate of creativity and forms of
cultural production as they fall into and between the regimes of
cultural heritage law and intellectual property law. It examines
and challenges the dualisms that ground both regimes, exposing
their (unsurprising) reflection of occidental ways of seeing the
world. The work reflects on the problem of regulating creativity
and cultural production according to Western thought systems in a
world that is not only Western. At the same time, it accepts that
the challenge in taking on the dualisms that hold together the
existing legal regimes regulating creativity and cultural
production lies in a critically nuanced approach to the
geo-political distinction between the West and the rest. Like many
of the distinctions considered in this book, this is one that holds
and does not hold.

In his influential essay "Provisional Painting," Raphael Rubinstein
applied the term "provisional" to contemporary painters whose work
looked intentionally casual, dashed-off, tentative, unfinished or
self-cancelling; who appeared to have deliberately turned away from
"strong" painting for something that seemed to constantly risk
failure or inconsequence. In this collection of essays, Rubinstein
expands the scope of his original article by surveying the
historical and philosophical underpinnings of provisionality in
recent visual art, as well as examining the works of individual
artists in detail. He also engages crucial texts by Samuel Beckett
and philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Re-examining several decades of
painting practices, Rubinstein argues that provisionality, in all
its many forms, has been both a foundational element in the history
of modern art and the encapsulation of an attitude that is
profoundly contemporary.
