50 Art Berlinde de Bruyckere, Cripplewood © Mirjam Devriendt August 92 pp. 254x216mm. 50 colour illus. HB ISBN 978-0-300-19657-3 £20.00* Trilingual edition: Dutch, English, French Cripplewood Berlinde De Bruyckere at the Biennale di Venezia J. M. Coetzee and Herman Parret Berlinde De Bruyckere is a Belgian artist who specialises in sculpture using various media, including wax, wood, wool, and horse skin and hair. Published to coincide with De Bruyckere’s participation in the 2013 Venice Biennale, this richly illustrated catalogue traces her work from conception to installation, providing a multifaceted introduction to the artist’s complex and compelling work. Struck by the passion and fierce beauty in the writings of J. M. Coetzee, De Bruyckere asked the acclaimed writer to curate the Belgian Pavilion’s exhibition. A previously unpublished text by Coetzee is included in this volume, as well as correspondence that the two exchanged throughout their collaborative process. The book is also enriched by writings by Herman Parret, who explores Saint Sebastian – the dual incarnation of sensuality and mystical suffering, and Venice’s quintessential symbol – and his particular significance to De Bruyckere’s oeuvre. J. M. Coetzee is a novelist, essayist, linguist, translator and recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. Herman Parret is professor emeritus at the Higher Institute of Philosophy of Leuven <strong>University</strong> (Belgium). Printmaking in Paris The Rage for Prints at the Fin de Siècle Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho and Marije Vellekoop In the years between 1890 and 1905, Paris witnessed a revolution in printmaking. Before this time, prints had primarily served reproductive or political ends, but, as the century came to a close, artistic quality became paramount, and printmaking blossomed into an autonomous art form. This gorgeously illustrated and accessibly written book looks at the circumstances in which this terrific new enthusiasm for prints unfolded; the principal players in its development; and the various printmaking techniques being used. Featuring highlights from the Van Gogh Museum, which houses a superb collection of prints from fin-de-siècle Paris, this enlightening volume shows how the most influential artists of the day turned their hands to making beautiful ‘impressions’ – prints that were works of art in themselves. Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho is curator of prints and drawings and Marije Vellekoop is head of collections, research and exhibitions, both at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. July 184 pp. 267x203mm. 205 colour + 5 b/w illus. HB ISBN 978-0-300-19730-3 £40.00* En Atendant and Cesena A Choreographer’s Score Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Bojana Cvejić Record book by Michel François Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is one of the most prominent choreographers in contemporary dance. Her 1982 debut with Fase immediately attracted the attention of the international dance scene; since then De Keersmaeker and her company, Rosas, have created an impressive series of choreographic works that have been described as ‘pure writing with movement in time and space’. In these two volumes and accompanying set of 3 DVDs, De Keersmaeker offers wide-ranging insights into choreography and into the making of her two most recent large-scale works: En Atendant and Cesena. In addition to sketches, notes and photographs, interviews with De Keersmaeker, as well as dance demonstrations and extensive video clips, are featured. A second volume is a book of photographs by Michel François. Bojana Cvejić is performance theorist and maker, working in contemporary dance and performance also as dramaturge and performer.

© Munch Museum / Munch-Ellingsen Group / BONO, Oslo 2013 Exhibition Munch Museet, Oslo, 01/11/13 – 02/02/14 November 288 pp. 248x279mm. 130 colour illus. HB ISBN 978-0-300-19731-0 £45.00* Edvard Munch Works on Paper Edited by Magne Bruteig and Ute Kuhlemann Falck Art 51 This superb book is dedicated to Edvard Munch’s vast and fascinating oeuvre of works on paper. Featured in beautiful colour reproductions are key images related to well-known prints and drawings, as well as lesser known works, such as childhood drawings and caricatures. Essays by critically acclaimed art historians examine, among other things, the various techniques that Munch used for his prints and drawings; charming examples of childhood drawings featuring his family and their daily life; his interaction with contemporary artists and the intellectual milieu of the so-called ‘Kristiania Bohemia’ and Oslo’s night life; and the impact of his volatile romantic relationship with Tulla Larsen. In sum, this invaluable book reveals many new insights into the life and work of one of the world’s best-known yet enigmatic artists. With contributions by Michelle Bonnefoy, Magne Bruteig, Dieter Buchhart, Arne Eggum, Hans-Martin Frydenberg Flaatten, Magdalena Godzimirska, Sidsel Helliesen, Stein Olav Henrichsen, Frank Høifødt, Lasse Jacobsen, Ute Kuhlemann Falck, Gry Landro, Erik Mørstad, Atle Næss, Petra Pettersen, Stefan Pucks, Sivert Thue and Gerd Woll.

Birger Stichelbaut is a postdoc researcher based in the department of archaeology, Ghent <strong>University</strong>, Belgium. January 396 pp. 254x298mm. 532 b/w illus. HB ISBN 978-0-300-19658-0 £40.00* In Flanders Fields The Great War Seen from the Air, 1914–1918 Birger Stichelbaut Aerial photography was a relatively new technology at the onset of the First World War and was embraced as an indispensable tool of wartime intelligence by all nations involved in the conflict. As a result, thousands of photographs taken from the air over the battlefields of the Great War have survived in archives throughout Europe, Australia and the United States. These pictures present the war from a unique perspective, clearly showing the developing trench system, artillery batteries, bunkers, railway lines, airfields, medical evacuation routes and more. They reveal the expanding war in Flanders Fields as the hostilities spread, kilometer by kilometer, devastating the environment and resulting in the complete destruction of the landscape at the front. This illuminating volume, the results of a collaboration between the In Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres, the Imperial War Museum, London and the Royal Army Museum, Brussels, features hundreds of photographic case studies, illustrating in unprecedented detail the physical extent of the First World War and the shocking environmental damage it left in its wake. Supplementing aerial images with maps, documents and photos taken from the ground, this one-of-a-kind visual record stands as an important contribution to First World War history, revealing the wartime landscape of Flanders Fields as rarely seen before.
