Résumé:
Le volume Science et tradition hermétique se compose de trois textes de Frances Yates encore inédits en français, qui portent sur un des sujets de prédilection de la grande historienne anglaise:le rôle joué par la tradition hermétique et la pensée magique dans l'histoire des idées, en Europe, à la charnière de la Renaissance et du XVIIe siècle. On s'imagine volontiers que l'hermétisme a constitué un obstacle au développement de la pensée scientifique : contre cette idée reçue, Frances Yates montre que sur certains points essentiels, la tradition hermétique a au contraire amorcé le changement dans les mentalités qui a rendu possible l'émergence de la science moderne.

Résumé:
This book is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present. The authors have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to websites, this book features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways—curving, crossing, branching—defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a protective box. Another timeline uses the different parts of the human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony.

Résumé:
Ernst Haas is most associated with a vibrant colour photography which, for decades, was much in demand by the illustrated press. This colour work, published in the most influential magazines in Europe and America, also fed a constant stream of books, and these too enjoyed great popularity. But although his colour work earned him fame around the world, in recent decades it has often been derided by critics and curators as “overly commercial”, and too easily accessible – or in the language of curators, not sufficiently “serious”. As a result, his reputation has suffered in comparison with a younger generation of colour photographers, notably Eggleston, Shore and Meyerowitz.

Résumé:
Despite attempts to promote the aesthetics of ruins in Russia - from Catherine the Great's construction of fake ruins in imperial parks to Josef Brodsky's elegiac meditations - ruins have never achieved the status they enjoy in Western Europe. While the Soviet Union was notorious for leveling churches, post-Soviet Russia has only intensified the practice of massive destruction and reconstruction. "Architecture of Oblivion "examines the role of ruins in the development of Russia's historical consciousness from the 18th century to the present. This original work from a leading authority on the subject will appeal to historians of Russian culture and thought, literature and art scholars, and general readers interested in ruins.

Résumé:
The end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes that were exchanged by lovers or family members. Worn as brooches or pendants, these minuscule eyes served the same emotional need as more conventional mementoes, such as lockets containing a coil of a loved one’s hair. The fashion lasted only a few decades, and by the(...)

Résumé:
The end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes that were exchanged by lovers or family members. Worn as brooches or pendants, these minuscule eyes served the same emotional need as more conventional mementoes, such as lockets containing a coil of a loved one’s hair. The fashion lasted only a few decades, and by the early 1800s eye miniatures had faded into oblivion. Unearthing these portraits in Treasuring the Gaze, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes that the rage for eye miniatures—and their abrupt disappearance—reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision.

Shu’s design process always begins with an intense study of the location. The architect spends as long as possible on the site, absorbing its atmosphere.

Résumé:
Shu’s design process always begins with an intense study of the location. The architect spends as long as possible on the site, absorbing its atmosphere. He then produces drafts in the form of hand-drawn sketches, creating them in relatively quick succession. Imagining the House follows this process in various buildings. Photographic documentation of the locations elucidate Shu’s on-site research. The reproductions of drawings in this book demonstrate how the designs change and become more concrete over the course of the process. The book provides unique insights into the work of an architect who has hitherto received little attention in Europe, thereby addressing a considerable omission in the publishing world.

The Dutch office of Strootman Landscape Architects is extensively profiled in this gorgeous monographic publication by C3.

Résumé:
Though she’s been cast as a quirky, shadowy figure, moving on the outskirts, these eye-to-eye portraits reveal a deeper Maier. These pictures show that she yearned to connect with people around her. That she often stopped them, talked to them, and always watched closely. These inspirational pictures teach us that around every corner is a chance encounter. Somebody new. But only if we notice. Here we travel the world with Maier, visiting more than a dozen countries in Asia, Europe, and South America. We take trips with her through the United States and get to tag along as she walks around the block.
