Review Questions of Perception: Phenomenology of Architecture / William K Stout Pub:This new edition of Questions of Perception brings back into print one of the most important architectural theory treatise of recent years. Authored by noted architectural scholars Alberto Pérez-Gómez and Juhani Pallasmaa as well as the preeminent architect Steven Holl, the three separate essays are thematically linked: each one tries to explain the role human perception and phenomenological experience play in architecture. In particular, Holl - who was named by Time magazine as the most important architect of his generation and the designer of the much-lauded Chapel of St. Ignatius at Seattle University and the highly anticipated Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art addition - lucidly explicates the importance of intuition in the construction and experience of built space. Holl explains his search for phenomenological experience thus: "To open architecture to questions of perception, we must suspend disbelief, disengage the rational half of the mind, and simply play and explore. Reason and skepticism must yield to a horizon of discovery. ".

Review Charles Bargue et Jean-Leon Gerome : Cours de dessin:Présentation de l'éditeur Le Cours de dessin de Bargue-Gérôme est la réimpression intégrale d'un célèbre cours de dessin de la fin du XIXe siècle. II se compose d'un ensemble de près de deux cents lithographies magistrales, qui étaient autant de sujets destinés à être copiés par des élèves dessinateurs avant que ceux-ci n'abordent le dessin d'après nature. C'est un ouvrage qui intéressera par conséquent les artistes, les étudiants en art et les historiens de l'art, mais aussi les amateurs et collectionneurs de dessins. Le lecteur y découvrira également l'uvre et la vie d'un maître jusqu'à présent négligé : Charles Bargue. Le Cours de dessin est divisé en trois sections. La première regroupe des planches dessinées d'après des moulages, habituellement réalisés sur des exemples de la statuaire antique. Les différentes parties du corps sont étudiées par ordre de difficulté croissant avant d'aborder les figures complètes. La deuxième section rend hommage à l'école occidentale de peinture, avec des lithographies réalisées d'après des dessins exemplaires de la Renaissance et des maîtres modernes La troisième partie comporte près de soixante académies ou dessins de nus masculins, toutes des créations originales de Bargue, le lithographe.

Review Japanese Art: The Great European Collections : Rijksmuseum Voor Volkenkunde, Leiden / Kodansha, Limited:The Japanese art collections of Europe have long been a subject for conjecture among art connoisseurs. The sheer size of the collections, combined with their incomplete documentation, has meant that many of the works have never been appraised, and extensive publication on them has been difficult - until now. Fielding a team of expert critics and photographers, Kodansha set out to catalog the collections of the great European museums and, working with specialists and museum curators, authenticated and photographed thousands of works. Hundreds of "new" pieces reemerged in the process, among them picture scrolls (emakimono), hanging-scroll pictures (kakemono), and painted screens (byobu). A number of these rediscovered masterworks are of national treasure quality, increasing the value of the series as a whole and making it an indispensable work for serious collectors, libraries, and museums. Volume 11 contains the first thorough research ever undertaken of selected museums in Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. Rare paintings, ivory carvings, lacquerware, and pieces from early European collections are among the featured works. Volume 12 highlights pieces from museums in Hamburg, Dresden, Amsterdam, and other European cities. The international edition of each of these volumes, originally published for the Japanese reader, contains a 15,000-word English text.

Review Sigmar Polke: Daphne / Snoeck Publishers, Ghent:In Greek mythology, Daphne is the nymph who runs from Apollo's love, determined not to marry. She ends up a Laurel tree. In contemporary art mythology, Sigmar Polke is a magician who transforms seemingly unrelated imagery and techniques into whirlwind, idiosyncratic collages that astonish the expectant eye. And then there is this object, Daphne, an artist's book created by Sigmar Polke. An oversize anthology of sources of visual inspiration, a photocopied book that paradoxically reveals the artist's hand, a sketchbook for the machine age-Daphne runs and runs, is caught by the photocopier, and runs some more, only to be bound in the end. ~Created directly by Polke himself, Daphne is a book with 23 chapters illustrated in large-format photocopies. Each "copy" of the book differs, as each has been photocopied and manipulated individually, pulled from the machine by the hand and watchful eye of the artist. Process is revealed, over and over again. Motifs accumulate page after page, as do small graphic cycles. The printed dot, the resolution, the subject, and the speed all determine and are determined by the apparently unpredictable and often impenetrable secret of a picture whose drafts are akin to the waste products of a copying machine. [+]Even if the motifs in this book provide but a brief insight into the artist's hitherto secret files and archives, it is still a significant one. For the first time, we witness an artist's book with such an aura of authenticity that Walter Benjamin's seminal essay, Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, bears consequent re-reading. ~Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 "copies," each of which has been numbered and signed by Sigmar Polke. Essay by Reiner Speck. Clothbound, 16. 25 x 11. 5 in. /440 pgs / 400 b&w.
