Nadia Naveau – Let's Play It By Ear
2022 || Hardcover || Hannibal Books || met inkijkexemplaar
Nadia Naveau combineert in haar werk ernst met speelsheid. Als geen ander weet de beeldhouwster de toeschouwer te verleiden en een gevoel van vervreemding op te roepen.
Let’s Play it by Ear is niet alleen een terugblik op twintig jaar kunstpraktijk maar ook, net zoals haar sculpturen, een visuele puzzel van materialen en referenties aan vroeger en nu.
Publicatie bij de expo Nadia Naveau – Bringer Together in de Warande in Turnhout van 12 december 2021 tot 3 april 2022.

Jan De Vliegher
2021 || Hardcover || Els Wuyts || MER || met inkijkexemplaar
Jan De Vliegher’s (°1964, BE) paintings are a meeting of Abstract Expressionism and Impressionistic joie de vivre, joie de peindre pur sang.

De Vliegher paints in series that have a fast, almost ob...

Another History of Art
2022 || Hardcover || Koenraad Jonckheere || Hannibal books
Reference work by Koenraad Jonckheere offers a new vision on the history of art
“There are many stories of western art that have been written, almost all of them focused on artists, nations, and traditions. But Jonckheere's daring book is a learned and eminently readable story of the art itself, about the questions that works of art try and often fail to answer, and about what they do to us in the process. It's a catalyst for teaching and thinking anew.”
– Marisa Anne Bass, Yale University
“No other history of art comes close to Jonckheere’s. It’s as engagingly written as Gombrich’s classic The Story of Art. It’s neither pedestrian nor a survey of an out-of-date canon. It’s the most ambitious and original general history of art we have ever had. Vigorous, up-to-date, unprejudiced and lively, it’s a history of art of our time and for our time....
