        De Stijl and Dutch modernism

        by Michael White, Marsha Meskimmon, Shearer West, Tim Barringer

        De Stijl was the title of a magazine founded in the Netherlands in 1917 and is now used to identify the abstract art and functional architecture of its major contributors: Mondrian, Van Doesburg, Van der Leck, Oud, Wils and Rietveld. This book is the first to emphasize the local context of De Stijl and explore its relationship to the distinctive character of Dutch modernism. Examines the connection between debates concerning abstraction in painting and spatiality in architecture and contemporary developments in the fields of urban planning, advertising, interior design and exhibition design. Describes the interaction between the world of mass culture and the fine arts. ;

        Raphaels Rückkehr

        Krimi

        by Barbara E. Euler

        „Raphaels Rückkehr“ (Krimi, ca. 460 000 Anschl.) Brügge, Sommer 2015. Nach drei Jahren Rehabilitation kehrt Hauptinspektor Raphael Rozenblad an seinen Arbeitsplatz bei der Ortspolizei im flämischen Brügge zurück – und wird sogleich wieder mit dem Fall konfrontiert, der ihn 2012 seine Beine und fast auch sein Leben gekostet hatte: Er hatte einen Lkw mit Flüchtlingen gestoppt und war mit seiner Harley unter den Zwanzigtonner geraten. Jetzt sitzt er im Rollstuhl.   Kurz nach Raphaels Auftauchen wird einer der Flüchtlinge von damals ermordet. Bald verdächtigt der Hauptinspektor neben dem alkoholkranken Sternekoch, in dessen Küche der Mord geschah, auch Leute aus den eigenen Reihen, insbesondere Dienststellenleiter Dovenhof und Hauptinspektorin Vandamme. Schnell bröckelt der ohnehin schwache Rückhalt, den der ruppige, tablettensüchtige Rollstuhlfahrer in der Dienststelle hat. Er traut niemandem mehr, selbst nicht der aufrechten Kollegin Anna und schon gar nicht Azif, einem Flüchtling von damals, der jetzt als verdeckter Ermittler für die Bundespolizei einem internationalen Menschenschmugglerring hinterherjagt und Raphael als Verbündeten gewinnen möchte. Als die beiden endlich gemeinsame Sache machen, gehen die Ermittlungen voran und Vandamme entpuppt sich als Dovenhofs Komplizin. Aber ein zweiter Flüchtling wird ermordet. Raphael hält beide Mordwaffen für abgeschliffene Armbrustpfeile, behält das aber für sich, um nicht für noch verrückter gehalten zu werden.  Ein Treffen zwischen Azif und einem Mittelsmann, der dem Koch Asylbewerber als willige und billige Arbeitskräfte zuführt, endet in einer Verfolgungsjagd durch die mittelalterliche Stadt, an deren Ende Azif durch den Mittelsmann schwer verletzt wird und dieser sich als ein enger Kollege von Raphael entpuppt. Bei seiner Befragung wird deutlich: Der Chef der Dienststelle ist selbst prominent am Menschenhandel beteiligt. Vandamme sagt aus, dass er sie zur Mittäterschaft angestiftet hat. Ehe Dovenhof selber befragt werden kann, wird er angeschossen, mit einer Armbrust. Jetzt erzählt Raphael seinem Vorgesetzten Piet, dass er auch die Mordwaffen für Armbrustpfeile hielt. Piet sagt daraufhin, dass der Sternekoch Mitglied in einer Armbrustschützengilde ist. Der Koch wird sofort verhaftet. Dabei verletzt er Raphael jedoch lebensgefährlich. Hier endet die Erzählung. Im Nachspann wird kurz skizziert, dass Raphaels Kollegen gemeinsam mit dem genesenen Azif das Geflecht des Menschenschmugglerrings zu entwirren beginnen und der Mörder und die Schuldigen bei der Polizei und anderswo vor Gericht kommen. Ob Raphael überleben wird, bleibt offen.   Herausstellungsmerkmal: Dieser Regionalkrimi spielt im flämischen Brügge, einem Tourismusmagneten, der nach dem Kinoerfolg „Brügge sehen und sterben“ endlich mal wieder krimitechnische Aufmerksamkeit in Deutschland verdient hat. Ein Extra-Pluspunkt sind die aktuellen Themen Inklusion, Diversity und Migration, die mit angenehmer Leichtigkeit und einladender Positivität in die Handlung verwoben sind. Lesergruppe: Frauen und Männer mit Spaß an leichter, spannender Lektüre mit ernstem Hintergrund, an Helden mit Ecken und Kanten und daran, ein beliebtes Reiseziel mal von einer ganz neuen Seite kennen zu lernen.

        Topiary, Knots and Parterres

        by Caroline Foley (author)

        Caroline Foley - with the aid of quotations from diarists, writers, wits, garden designers, gardeners and garden owners - traces the story of topiary, knots and parterres. After a brief survey of Roman topiary, she moves on through the formal parterres of Renaissance Italy and the more elaborate broderies of the royal French gardens (copied in palace gardens throughout Europe), the complicated conceits of the Tudors and the geometry of the Dutch school. She takes a wry look at the eighteenth century, when many fine formal gardens were scrapped in favour of the English landscape school, which, in fact, was no less artificial. In the nineteenth century there was a revival of parterres filled with tender bedding plants. Green architecture returned with the Arts and Crafts movement, became unfashionable in the mid-twentieth century and has had a revival in the last decade or so in a more abstract and sculptural form, inspired somewhat by Japanese 'cloud' topiary. Widening the story beyond the topiary of Europe and the west, she includes chapters on the ancient art of Japanese topiry and on labyrinths and mazes from Minoa. The second half of the book brings us up to date, taking a look at topiary as used by designers such as Jacques Wirtz, Piet Oudolf, Arne Maynard, Tom Stuart-Smith, Fernando Caruncho, as well as talented private garden owners. Finally there is a projection into the future, with the potential for topiary in industrial settings and amenity horticulture and its influence on land art. This highly visual subject is illustrated throughout with paintings, drawings and cartoons. As we move into modern times, photographs take over.

        The Art of Jazz

        A Visual History

        by Alyn Shipton; foreword by John Edward Hasse

        The Art of Jazz celebrates the ways in which the expressionism and spontaneity of jazz – the twentieth century’s most influential of musical art forms – spilled onto its album art, posters, and promotional photography, and even inspired standalone works of art. As John Edward Hasse, curator at the Smithsonian Institution Museum of American History, writes in the introduction: “Jazz appears most directly to the ear but also engages the eye. Yet the visual dimension of jazz is often overlooked.” Internationally renowned broadcaster and writer Alyn Shipton explores how graphic designers, photographers, artists, and illustrators crafted a fresh visual language for the new music. Arranged chronologically, each chapter covers a key period in jazz history, from the earliest days of the twentieth century right up to postmodern jazz and the twenty-first century. Lavishly produced and with over 350 photos and illustrations, The Art of Jazz is both a timely and significant contribution to the literature of this intrepid art form.

        The House as a Garden

        by Xavier Monteys

        A cross between an academic article and ingenious reflection in a journalistic style, in this book the concept of the house is extended to the garden, not only in a literal sense, but also metaphorical: houses with gardens, gardens inside houses, the house understood as a garden. The journey includes well known historical examples as well as rarities from architects such as Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Bernard Rudofsky to popular or anonymous architecture to expand upon the idea of the house and garden.
