René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works

René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works

Yale University Press
2012
sidottu
René Magritte (1898–1967) was a surrealist artist whose thought-provoking works used ordinary objects to challenge how viewers perceived reality. His extensive oeuvre was documented in a comprehensive five-volume project, led by distinguished art critic and writer David Sylvester. In the years that followed the publication of the final volume in 1997, numerous works purporting to be by Magritte appeared on the art market. Under the auspices of the Fondation Magritte, a committee was established to verify the authenticity of newly discovered works as well as those previously recorded as "whereabouts unknown" or listed as appendix items in the original volumes of the René Magritte Catalogue Raisonné.René Magritte: Newly Discovered Works includes color illustrations of 130 previously unpublished or unknown works authenticated by the committee between September 2000 and March 2010. Like its predecessors, this volume is the culmination of years of research, which synthesizes new discoveries about the artworks and details of the life of Magritte himself. Accompanying text and comparative documentation provide a wealth of complementary information, including the circumstances of a work's discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.Distributed for Mercatorfonds

René Magritte and the Art of Thinking

René Magritte and the Art of Thinking

Lisa Lipinski

Routledge
2020
nidottu
For René Magritte, painting was a form of thinking. Through paintings of ordinary objects rendered with illusionism, Magritte probed the limits of our perception—what we see and cannot see, the nature of representation—as a philosophical system for presenting ideas, and explored perspective as a method of visual argumentation. This book makes the claim that Magritte’s painting is about vision and the act of viewing, of perception itself, and the process of how we see and experience things in the world, including paintings as things.

Rene Girard and Myth

Rene Girard and Myth

Richard Golsan

Routledge
2002
nidottu
In this comprehensive introduction to the work of contemporary French critic Rene Girard, Richard Golsan focuses on Girard's theory of myth and its connections to his broader exploration of the origins of suffering and violence in Western culture. Golsan highlights two of Girard's primary concepts--mimetic desire and the scapegoat--and employs the concepts to illustrate the ways Girardian analysis of violence in biblical, classical, and folk myths has influenced recent work in theology, psychology, literary studies, and anthropology. The book concludes with an interview between Golsan and Girard, who offers his own analysis of the appropriation (and criticism) of his work by a politically and intellectually diverse company of scholars.

René Descartes: Meditations on First Philosophy

René Descartes: Meditations on First Philosophy

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy, published in Latin in 1641, is one of the most widely studied philosophical texts of all time, and inaugurates many of the key themes that have remained central to philosophy ever since. In his original Latin text Descartes expresses himself with great lucidity and elegance, and there is enormous interest, even for those who are not fluent in Latin, in seeing how the famous concepts and arguments of his great masterpiece unfold in the original language. John Cottingham's acclaimed English translation of the work is presented here in a facing-page edition alongside the original Latin text. Students of classical philosophy have long had the benefit of dual-language editions, and the availability of such a resource for the canonical works of the early-modern period is long overdue. This volume now makes available, in an invaluable dual-language format, one of the most seminal texts of Western philosophy.

Rene I Am the Best Artist

Rene I Am the Best Artist

Rene Moncada

Rene Iatba
2021
sidottu
The life and art of Rene Moncada, otherwise known as The Best Artist, covering his early life, philosophy, major exhibitions and performances in both New York and Venezuela, as well as photographs of his art.For 25 years as the owner of a gallery in New York City's SoHo, Rene, best known for a series of murals undertaken between 1979 to 2000 proclaiming I AM THE BEST ARTIST Rene, is also known as Nature's Ambassador. Rene receives messages from Nature in the form of inspiration and it is his duty as her Ambassador to translate those messages into a transcendental language that everyone can understand. That language is ART, and drawing is its written form. Through his fiber art, Rene created unique haute couture fashions. Called Nudismos because in Spanish the word to knot is nudo, Rene also ties wood and wire together into sculptural constructions and creates paintings using the same Nudismo design.Rene noticed a subliminal image embedded within the label of the Mott's apple juice can. The label, showing a detailed rendering of a halved apple, contained an obvious representation of a vulva. Rene painted a replica of the can and held an exhibition showcasing his Mott's painting. This event was written up in numerous magazines of the 80's. Soon thereafter, Mott's redesigned the label, covering the center of the apple. Rene regards the vulva as the purest image in nature and it is a regular part of his art. "The shape is a basic structure, a universal image." Created to liberate art from the dictatorship of religion, his most provocative image, Sex and Violence, depicts a Christian cross with a vulva at its center. Rene has put together the creation of God to give life to his son with the creation of man to kill him, and asks the question, which is more sacred?Rene has created a series of sculptures by recycling Styrofoam, an ecological dilemma because it isn't biodegradable. Just as nature encapsulates toxic materials with vegetation, these sculptures are encapsulated with paper pulp and painted.As a vocal opponent of censorship, hypocrisy and oppression, Rene dedicated his artistic career to bring about the respect women deserve, justifying his actions as a desire to liberate not only the art world but the world at large. It is this attribute that qualifies him as The Best Artist.

Prolific figure painter and independent LGBT artist. This 158 page full color collection is an overview of artists from 1999-2011. Capone created a body of narrative paintings that succinctly juxtaposes both eroticism and a lurking secrecy commonplace on the covers of childhood Nancy Drew Mystery books. Revealing a fragmented moment of action, his paintings work like incomplete mysteries that inspire us to finish the detailing. Rene Capone's art conveys a sense of wonder, exploration and discovery. Set against a fantastical world of mythical dreamscapes the figures in his work appear to be on a deeply personal quest for identity and their place in the world.

Figure painter Ren Capone returns with his sophomore book, "A Boy Named". This full color paperback features 85 of Capone's paintings and drawings as well as a collection of photos of the artist taken by several photographers over the years. Forewords are included by arts educator Stephen Honicki and musician Lian Fitz.The "A Boy Named" painting series featured in this book were created about metaphorically searching for someone after they had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Examining the core of personality with one word, such as "A Boy Named Truth". It has been said that the characters in Ren Capone's artwork look as if they are on a deeply personal quest for identity and their place in the world. This is still true ... only now that the characters are more comfortable in their skin, the road is not as treacherous and the destination no longer frightens them.

Rene Char

Rene Char

Lawler James R.

Princeton University Press
2015
pokkari
Although Rene Char's distinctive voice has brought him to the forefront of contemporary French writers; his complex poetry has remained virtually inaccessible to the general reader. In this book an eminent authority on French literature describes Char's evolution and, through close readings, offers a clear and rewarding introduction to the poet's /uvre. James Lawler first traces Char's growth by delineating the myth that has guided his poetry for forty years. While the Surrealists exerted an early influence on the writer, his work diverged from theirs as he gave voice to a more personal attitude toward nature and art, to a refashioned poetics and thought. The author shows how Char's development culminates in the visionary symbolism of La Paroi et la Prairie, in which wall and prairie epitomize the unresolved tension of his mature writings. Throughout his readings, Professor Lawler supplements close textual analysis with consideration of thematic, mythological, and moral elements of the poetry, discussing each aspect as it illuminates the nature of Char's sensibility. "The ten short poems [of La Paroi et la Prairie] are typical of their author," he writes, "and paradigmatic of a work that is a summit of French poetry since Valery and Apollinaire." Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

René Burri Photographs

René Burri Photographs

Koetzle Hans-Michael

Phaidon Press Ltd
2012
sidottu
Known the world over, especially for his iconic images of Che Guevara, Swiss-born René Burri (1933-2014) was one of the greatest humanist photographers. Now, for the first time ever and featuring countless previously unpublished images, Burri's remarkable and adventurous work is brought together in this career retrospective of over 400 duotone photographs. Edited and compiled by the distinguished writer Hans-Michael Koetzle, in close collaboration with Burri, this unprecedented retrospective is a historic book of the major political events and key personalities of the twentieth century - as seen through the eyes of one photographer. Nothing like this book on Burri has ever been published before, and it is a real coup for Phaidon to be the first to publish his entire career's work. A member of the prestigious Magnum photo agency, Burri is a photographer whose curiosity and humanity as a photographer have afforded him almost unrestricted access to the major events and personalities of the last 50 years. In this way, René Burri Photographs is a fascinating personal account of the major artists, politicians and personalities that Burri has made a part of his life. First achieving international recognition with the seminal photography book on post-World War II Germany Die Deutschen in 1962, Burri has since become one of the most important figures in the history of photography: he is universally revered by his peers for his sympathetic eye and his capacity to capture larger-than-life personalities on film. René Burri Photographs comprises the culmination of years of scholarly research by distinguished writer Hans Michael Koetzle into Burri's important contribution to reportage photography, resulting in an incisive introduction, a series of in-depth essays at the beginning of each chapter and in extended captions that accompany each image. The book is designed by prominent Swiss graphic designer Werner Jeker of ADN Design, Lausanne. In 21 thematically-organized chapters, we accompany Burri across Europe to the Middle East, Vietnam, Brazil, Cuba and beyond; we visit Picasso, Le Corbusier, Yves Klein and Giacometti in their studios; we witness political figures such as Che Guevara in repose, and Fidel Castro at the helm. A work of epic scope in its own right, this book is a magnificent tour de force.

Manchester University Press

René Magritte: Beyond painting offers a rethinking of Magritte’s art from a position informed by contemporary developments in art theory.The book employs a wide range of literary and philosophical/cultural theoretical frameworks to analyse Magritte’s art. It offers close readings of specific images, paying attention to neglected aspects of Magritte’s work, discussing the significance of cabinets of curiosities and encyclopaedias, trompe l’oeil, framing and forgeries. It addresses a range of intertextual relations between Magritte’s work and that of other Surrealist artists and the art-historical tradition. This book explores how Magritte’s art challenges conventional notions of originality, canonicity and coherence, revealing his work as being shaped by co-operations and co-options. It demonstrates that uncertainty, incoherence and negation lie at the core of Magritte’s oeuvre.

René Girard and Creative Mimesis

René Girard and Creative Mimesis

Lexington Books
2013
sidottu
For half a century René Girard’s theories of mimetic desire and scapegoating have captivated the imagination of thinkers and doers in many fields as an incisive look into the human condition, particularly the roots of violence. In a 1993 interview with Rebecca Adams, he highlighted the positive dimensions of mimetic phenomena without expanding on what they might be. Now, two decades later, this groundbreaking book systematically explores the positive side of mimetic theory in the context of the multi-faceted world of creativity. Several authors build on Adams’ insight that loving mimesis can be understood as desiring the subjectivity of the other, particularly when the other may be young or wounded. With highly nuanced arguments authors show how mimetic theory can be used to address child and adult development, including the growth of consciousness and a capacity to handle complexity. Mimetic theory is brought to bear on big questions about creativity in nature, evolutionary development, originality, and religious intrusion into politics.

René Girard and Creative Reconciliation

René Girard and Creative Reconciliation

Lexington Books
2014
sidottu
The contribution of this book to the field of reconciliation is both theoretical and practical, recognizing that good theory guides effective practice and practice is the ground for compelling theory. Using a Girardian hermeneutic as a starting point, a new conceptual Gestalt emerges in these essays, one not fully integrated in a formal way but showing a clear understanding of some of the challenges and possibilities for dealing with the deep divisions, enmity, hatred, and other effects of violence. By situating discourse about reconciliation within the context of Girardian thought, it becomes clear that—like Peter who vowed he would never deny Jesus but ended up doing it three times—any of us is susceptible to the siren call of angry resentment and retaliation. It is with a profound awareness of the power of violence that the emergence of mimetic discourse around reconciliation takes on particular urgency.

Rene Girard

Chris Fleming

Polity Press
2004
sidottu
In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the work of Rene Girard, thought by many to be one of the most important, if controversial, cultural theorists of the twentieth century. Girard's work is extraordinarily innovative and wide-ranging, cutting across central concerns in philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary theory, anthropology, theology, and sociology. In this much-needed introduction, Chris Fleming traces the development of Girard's thought over forty years, describing the context in which he worked and his influence on a number of disciplines. He unpacks the hypotheses at the centre of Girard's thought - mimetic desire, surrogate victimage and scapegoating, myth, ritual, and the sacred - and provides an assessment of Girard's place in the contemporary academy. Comprehensive and clearly written, this book constitutes an excellent overview of Girard's work and is essential reading for students and researchers in continental philosophy, theology, literary studies, French studies, and cultural studies.
