Abstract

Within the last decades, the use of lasers in artworks conservation became an important tool for many conservators, scientists, architects and other experts, who are involved in the care of monuments and artefacts or laser technology. For the first time in 1995 Professor Costas Fotakis brought together restorers and scientists to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation. Since then the field of "Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks" has gained enormously in importance. Nowadays restorers and laser scientists work close together in order to develop new fields of applications during the last years. Furthermore a large number of national and international research projects have been carried out by conservator-restorers, architects and scientists. In the last 10 years a number of historical and artistic high quality monuments (e.g. St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna) have been cleaned or measured by laser and brought the laser in the spectra of tools which are useful in the sensible field of artworks. The proceedings of the congress addresses scientists, conservator-restorers, companies, architects, decision-makers and other experts involved in conservation projects or in the research of new laser equipment.

Abstract

Although the creative impulse surges in revolt against everyday reality, breaking through its confines, it makes pacts with that reality’s essential laws and returns to it to modulate its sense. In fact, it is through praxis that imagination and artistic inventiveness transmute the vital concerns of life, giving them human measure. But at the same time art’s inspiration imbues life with aesthetic sense, which lifts human experience to the spiritual. Within these two perspectives art launches messages of specifically human inner propulsions, strivings, ideals, nostalgia, yearnings prosaic and poetic, profane and sacral, practical and ideal, while standing at the fragile borderline of everydayness and imaginative adventure. Art’s creative perduring constructs are intentional marks of the aesthetic significance attributed to the flux of human life and reflect the human quest for repose. They mediate communication and participation in spirit and sustain the relative continuity of culture and history.

Abstract

Since 1995, when Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation, the field has grown enormously in importance, and today restorers and laser scientists work together to develop new applications. This book presents the more than six dozen research papers prepared for LACONA V (Lasers in Art Conservation), held in Osnabrueck/Germany in September 2003. The fifth congress once again gathers restorers, art historians, museum staff, laser scientists and laser manufacturers. The topics include, among others: laser cleaning of artworks (case studies and side effects), removal of former conservation layers, fundamentals of laser-artwork interaction, online monitoring and process control, laser diagnostics, spectroscopy for monitoring and identification, networks and co-operation projects.

Abstract

The Routledge Companion to Performance Practitioners collects the outstanding biographical and production overviews of key theatre practitioners first featured in the popular Routledge Performance Practitioners series of guidebooks. Each of the chapters is written by an expert on a particular figure, from Stanislavsky and Brecht to Laban and Decroux, and places their work in its social and historical context. Summaries and analyses of their key productions indicate how each practitioner's theoretical approaches to performance and the performer were manifested in practice. All 22 practitioners from the original series are represented, with this volume covering those born before the end of the First World War. This is the definitive first step for students, scholars and practitioners hoping to acquaint themselves with the leading names in performance, or deepen their knowledge of these seminal figures.

Abstract

Voor iedereen die fan is van het werk van Thé Tjong-Khing - en voor de vele anderen die dit vanaf nu zeker nog zullen worden - is er heel goed nieuws: het vierde taartenboek is er! In het woordloze kijk- en zoekboek ?Kunst met taart? bewijst mevrouw Hond dat ze meer kan dan alleen maar overheerlijke taarten bakken. Ze schildert het portret van meneer Hond, die fier poseert. Met taart, natuurlijk! Mevrouw Hond vindt boeken over grote kunstenaars heel interessant. Ze heeft er een hele collectie van in haar atelier. Op een keer is ze zo moe dat ze tijdens het lezen in een diepe slaap valt. Ze droomt dat ze haar schilderij in het museum mag tentoonstellen, maar dat het daar gestolen wordt door een [lees meer] dief in een zwart-wit gestreept pak. Daarop zet een groepje vrienden van mevrouw en meneer Hond de achtervolging in. Ze komen van het ene prachtige kunstlandschap in het andere terecht, maar zelf letten ze daar niet op. De dieren willen vooral de boef snel te pakken krijgen, zodat ze het schilderij aan mevrouw Hond kunnen teruggeven. Dat zorgt voor grappige toestanden en veel kijkplezier, want net zoals in de andere taartenboeken werden ook in dit avontuur meerdere kleine verhaaltjes verwerkt.Met dit prachtige kijk-, vertel- en zoekboek heeft topillustrator Thé Tjong-Khing opnieuw een meesterwerk afgeleverd. De prenten zijn bijzonder knap. Ze zitten vol kleine reproducties van en verwijzingen naar bekende werken van wereldberoemde kunstenaars zoals Rodin, Van Gogh, Magritte, Picasso, Mondriaan, Da Vinci, Beckmann, Munch en vele andere. Maar Thé Tjong-Khing heeft er zijn eigen, heel herkenbare toets aan gegeven. Op de schutbladen staan de namen van de kunstenaars vermeld. Ook dit is origineel gedaan: aan de hand van kleine pictogrammen met details uit hun werken heeft Thé deze artiesten ?ingelijst?. ?Kunst met taart? biedt (kleine) kinderen een schitterende allereerste kennismaking met kunst. Iedere keer opnieuw zullen ze het spannend vinden en andere dingen ontdekken en bewonderen in de kleurrijke prenten. Die werden afgedrukt op dubbele pagina?s en zitten boordevol details. Een volwassene kan het kind hier en daar wat meer uitleg geven, wat dan weer ongetwijfeld heerlijke vertelmomenten zal opleveren. Het verhaal begint echter niet binnenin het boek. Wie aandachtig kijkt, die merkt het wel ...Veroniek de VisserPluizer

Abstract

Volume IV of A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings deals uniquely with the self-portraits of Rembrandt. In a clearly written explanatory style the head of the Rembrandt Research Project and Editor of this Volume, Ernst van de Wetering, discusses the full body of work of paintings and etchings portraying Rembrandt. He sets the different parameters for accepting or rejecting a Rembrandt self-portrait as such, whilst also discussing the exact working environment of Rembrandt and his apprentices. This workshop setting created a surroundings where apprentices could be involved in working on Rembrandt paintings making it more difficult to determine the hand of the master. Van de Wetering, who is one of the Rembrandt experts of our day and age, goes down to great detail to explain how the different self-portraits are made and what techniques Rembrandt uses, also giving an overview of which paintings are to be attributed to the Dutch Master and which not. In the additional catalogue the self-portraits are examined in detail. In clear and accessible explanatory text the different paintings are discussed, larded with immaculate images of each painting. Details are shown where possible, as well as the results of modern day technical imaging like X-radiography. This work of art history and art research should be part of every serious art historical institute, university or museum. Nowhere in the art history have all Rembrandt’s self portraits been discussed in such detailed and comparative manner by an authority such as Ernst van de Wetering. This is a standard work for decades to come.
