The book consists of five clusters reflecting upon a cent...

Aan de hand van beelden van vrouwen en mannen uit de hoogtijdagen van de Japanse prentkunst (1765–1865) gaat dit boek dieper in op de subtiele iconografie en de complexe symbolen die eigen zijn aan deze traditie. De intrigerende elementen verwijzen naar de Japanse geschiedenis, literatuur, mythologie, mode, folklore en roddels uit de Edo-periode en zijn soms moeilijk te onderscheiden, laat staan te vatten, zonder de juiste kennis.

But it was only after his death that interest in his creations as a painter took hold. This catalogue comprises roughly 60 paintings an...

Significant underlying themes expressed in the Amsterdam-based, Swiss artist’s practice are the “iconification” and “immunogenicity” of old images, and the circumstances by which they assume or beco...

Usually found on the puzzle box's exterior, they are exact duplicates of the completed game - the perfect version of the puzz...
