Abstract

In the Dutch Republic, in its Baroque forms of art, two aesthetic formal modes, theatre and drama, were dynamically related to two political concepts, event and moment. The Dutch version of the Baroque is characterised by a fascination with this world regarded as one possibility out of a plurality of potential worlds. It is this fascination that explains the coincidence in the Dutch Republic, strange at first sight, of Baroque exuberance, irregularity, paradox, and vertigo with scientific rigor, regularity, mathematical logic, and rational distance. In giving a new historical perspective on the Baroque as a specifically Dutch republican one, this study also offers a new and systematic approach towards the interactions among the notions of theatricality, dramatisation, moment, and event: concepts that are currently at the centre of philosophical and political debates but the modern articulation of which can best be considered in the explorations of history and world in the Dutch Republic.

Abstract

This book offers a new perspective on the art of the Dutch Golden Age by exploring the interaction between the gift's symbolic economy of reciprocity and obligation and the artistic culture of early modern Holland. Gifts of art were pervasive in seventeenth-century Europe and many Dutch artists, like their counterparts elsewhere, embraced gift giving to cultivate relations with patrons, art lovers, and other members of their social networks. Rembrandt also created distinctive works to function within a context of gift exchange, and both Rembrandt and Vermeer engaged the ethics of the gift to identify their creative labor as motivated by what contemporaries called a love of art

Abstract

How do dealers price contemporary art in a world where objective criteria seem absent? Talking Prices is the first book to examine this question from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers in New York and Amsterdam, Olav Velthuis shows how contemporary art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire. For instance, a sharp distinction between a gallery's museumlike front space and its businesslike back space safeguards the separation of art from commerce. Velthuis shows that prices, far from being abstract numbers, convey rich meanings to trading partners that extend well beyond the works of art. A high price may indicate not only the quality of a work but also the identity of collectors who bought it before the artist's reputation was established. Such meanings are far from unequivocal. For some, a high price may be a symbol of status; for others, it is a symbol of fraud. Whereas sociological thought has long viewed prices as reducing qualities to quantities, this pathbreaking and engagingly written book reveals the rich world behind these numerical values. Art dealers distinguish different types of prices and attach moral significance to them. Thus the price mechanism constitutes a symbolic system akin to language.

Abstract

"Images of Miraculous Healing in the Early Modern Netherlands explores the ways in which paintings and prints of biblical miracles shaped viewers' approaches to physical and sensory impairments and bolstered their belief in supernatural healing and charitable behavior. Drawing upon a vast range of sources, Kaminska demonstrates that visual imagery held a central place in premodern disability discourses, and that the exegesis of New Testament miracle stories determined key attitudes toward the sick and the poor. Addressed to middle-class collectors, many of the images analyzed in this study have hitherto been neglected by art historians"--

Abstract

"Picturing Punishment examines representations of criminal bodies as they moved in, out, and through publicly accessible spaces in the city during punishment rituals in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. Once put to death, the criminal cadaver did not come to rest. Its movement through public spaces indicated the potent afterlife of the deviant body, especially its ability to transform civic life. Focusing on material culture associated with key sites of punishment, Anuradha Gobin argues that the circulation of visual media related to criminal punishments was a particularly effective means of generating discourse and formulating public opinion, especially regarding the efficacy of civic authority. Certain types of objects related to criminal punishments served a key role in asserting republican ideals and demonstrating the ability of officials to maintain order and control. Conversely, the circulation of other types of images, especially inexpensive paintings and prints, had the potential to subvert official messages. As Gobin shows, visual culture thus facilitated a space in which potentially dissenting positions could be formulated while also bringing together seemingly disparate groups of people in a quest for new knowledge. Combining a diverse array of sources including architecture, paintings, prints, anatomical illustrations, and preserved body parts, Picturing Punishment demonstrates how the criminal corpse was reactivated, reanimated, and in many ways reintegrated into society."--

Abstract

L’histoire de la chinoiserie est celle d’une ambition économique qui chercha à donner une nouvelle extension, maritime, aux anciennes routes de la soie afin de capter au profit des nombreuses Compagnies des Indes orientales, créées à cet effet, une partie des parts de marché qu’impliquait ce commerce avec l’Extrême-Orient. Ainsi envahirent l’Europe une foule de « produits de la Chine » – porcelaines, textiles, laques, objets de luxe – dont la possession a le plus souvent été un marqueur de distinction sociale. Le développement de la chinoiserie et du goût chinois au XVIIIe siècle est un phénomène européen, qui s’inscrit dans la dynamique même instaurée par la Pensée des Lumières, où l’on détecte un courant utopique fondé à la fois sur l’idée de la reconstitution d’un Éden perdu, et sur celle d’une communauté politique et sociale restaurée. Sur le plan stylistique, l’influence de la Chine s’est trouvée en phase avec les grandes tendances du goût régnant entre 1720-1770, dominé par la confusion des figures et de l’ornement ; les effets de surface dus à la découverte de matières nouvelles comme la porcelaine et la laque ; et l’imbrication des formes. Il est clair que l’appropriation du goût chinois en Europe s’est exprimée à travers une démarche dont il convient d’apprécier le caractère subversif, puisque l’art rocaille apparaît incontestablement comme une tentative de mettre entre parenthèses certains des principes de la représentation classique. Le déni du système perspectif, le refus d’utilisation du système proportionnel des ordres, l’expérimentation systématique de l’asymétrie, de fréquentes propositions pour des compositions non centrées, comme la légitimité reconnue à des variations non proportionnelles d’échelle sont autant d’éléments qui participent à la proposition d’un système de composition alternatif au système classique. Devant l’impossibilité évidente de proposer ici un aperçu complet de cette histoire d’influences, d’appropriations et de réinterprétations, les éditeurs ont choisi de privilégier certains pans de cette histoire, moins récemment investigués ou laissés parfois en friche. Ils ont pris l’option de centrer ce volume sur deux axes particuliers : privilégier, d’une part, l’étude des vecteurs de transmission de cette séduction ainsi que l’appréciation de la manière dont ces agents ont contribué à « colorer » les éléments transmis ; et attirer, d’autre part, l’attention sur l’intérêt et la qualité, souvent mésestimés, des « chinoiseries » réalisées dans nos régions au XVIIIe siècle.Des questionnements fondamentaux sont ici esquissés : sur le degré d’extension du concept (par rapport, notamment, à l’expression littéraire) ; sur le degré d’adéquation de ses formes et de ses expressions par rapport à la réalité chinoise ; sur la place occupée par la chinoiserie dans le discours et la culture globale des Lumières, sur les agents de la diffusion – en particulier les missionnaires – et les modalités de celle-ci. Dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (1715-1792), la chinoiserie et le goût chinois ont beaucoup contribué à créer, dans les habitudes de vie et l’environnement familier des classes aristocratiques, une sociabilité élégante et distinguée. En ce sens, l’architecture pavillonnaire des jardins anglo-chinois - à Kew comme à Potsdam ou à Drottningholm par exemple, ou, dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux, à Enghien, Belœil ou Boekenberg -, matérialise des lieux de plaisance, voire de « libertinage » – au sens intellectuel – liés à de nouvelles formes de sensibilité, et même à de nouvelles formes de pensée, axées sur la discontinuité, la diversité et l’esthétique du fragment. Mais, surtout, au-delà, dans un pays d’étendue réduite, de tradition intellectuelle relativement conformiste, elle a incontestablement constitué un élément d’ouverture vers le mouvement des Lumières, et elle a sans aucun doute contribué à forger la prescience d’une certaine forme de cosmopolitisme et d’appréciation de l’altérité.

Abstract

Images of the Tropics critically examines Dutch colonial culture in the Netherlands Indies through the prism of landscape art. Susie Protschky contends that visual representations of nature and landscape were core elements of how Europeans understood the tropics, justified their territorial claims in the region, and understood their place both in imperial Europe and in colonized Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her book thus makes a significant contribution to studies of empire, art and environment, as well as to histories of Indonesia and Europe. Surveying a rich visual culture developed over a period of some 350 years of Dutch colonial engagement with Indonesia Susie Protschky demonstrates how views of the archipelago’s environment were far from simple topographical souvenirs. Rather, this book reveals how images of the tropics visually articulated colonial attempts to legitimize and historicize what were in fact continually changing and contested claims to Dutch territorial sovereignty in the Indies. Further, colonial images of nature were routinely inflected with diverse cultural preoccupations, among them the constitution of gender, class and racial boundaries in Indies society; the tenor of sexual mores in the tropics; and the political role of religion in the archipelago. Landscape art thus indexed colonial views on a range of pressing social and political concerns.
