Přítomnost obrazů. Rozhovor Ivana Folettiho s Hansem Beltingem Obsah této knihy, která představuje dlouhodobý neformální rozhovor, zahrnuje období od jara 2017 do začátku ledna 2023. Byl to rozhovor mezi přáteli, protahovaný telefonáty a návštěvami doma, ale s onou jiskrou elektrizujícího vzrušení živeného společnými zájmy a touhami. Hans Belting, jeden z největších historiků umění vůbec, zde vypráví svou intelektuální parabolu. Při putování z poválečného Německa do Spojených států na konci padesátých let, do Evropy druhé poloviny dvacátého století a na začátek nového tisíciletí čtenáři pomalu odhalí společné nitky jeho životního příběhu: mihotavou funkci obrazů mezi tělem a objektem, otevřenost ke spolupráci a interdisciplinaritě a samozřejmě fascinaci dějinami obrazů od středověku až po současnost.

Now available in a new edition, this book explores Hieronymus Bosch’s masterpiece Garden of Earthly Delights. Few paintings inspire the kind of intense study and speculation as Garden of Earthly Delights, the world-famous triptych by Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch. The painting has been interpreted as a heretical masterpiece, an opulent illustration of the Creation, and a premonition of the end of the world. In this book, renowned art historian Hans Belting offers a radical reinterpretation of the work, which he sees not as apocalyptic but utopian, portraying how the world would exist had the Fall not happened. Taking readers through each panel, Belting discusses various schools of thought and explores Bosch’s life and times. This fascinating study is an important contribution to the literature and theory surrounding one of the world’s most enigmatic artists.

Sabine Hornig Durchs Fenster Das Werk von Sabine Hornig entwickelt sich an den Schnittstellen von Skulptur, Installation und Fotografie. im Zentrum der Ausstellung, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Künstlerin entstanden ist, steht die 2001 begonnene Werkgruppe 'Fenster', die heute mehr als 40 großformatige Fotografien umfasst. Am Beispiel von Schaufenstern leerstehender Ladengeschäfte in Berlin Mitte untersucht die Künstlerin das subtile Verhältnis von Bild und Raum, von Abbild und Wirklichkeit. Hornig fotografiert die Fenster fast maßstabsgerecht als Bilder, die mehrere Ansichten auf der zweidimensionalen Fläche vereinen: Den Blick in den Innenraum, die Spiegelung des Außenraumes auf der Fensterscheibe sowie die Fensterscheibe und die darauf sichtbaren Spuren selbst. In einer präzisen, detailgenauen Bildsprache vereint Hornig dieses vielschichtige visuelle Gefüge aus Blicken, Durchblicken und Spiegelungen und lässt am Beispiel des urbanen Raums und seiner Wahrnehmung neuartige Bildraumvorstellungen entstehen.

This is the third volume in the series on GAM—Global Art and the Museum, a research project initiated by Hans Belting and Peter Weibel of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Technology Karlsruhe. The goal of the project is to analyze how globalization has affected the situation of art museums, the art market, and the field of art criticism. Besides case studies of individual artists and scenes, Global Studies outlines the histories of regional art practices, exhibitions, and “contemporary” ideologies. Numerous essays by international scholars create a foundation for a discussion of interdisciplinary social sciences, humanities, and history. In addition, the richly illustrated volume contains brief analyses of selected art institutions from around the world.

"In this groundbreaking book, renowned art historian Hans Belting proposes a new anthropological theory for interpreting human picture making. Rather than focus exclusively on pictures as they are embodied in various media such as painting, sculpture, or photography, he links pictures to our mental images and therefore, our bodies.: -- Back cover

Max Beckmann is one of the titans of modernism, although he considered himself the last Old Master. This publication examines the artist's landscape paintings, which are less characterized by allegorical layers of meaning than his works in other genres. Their splendid painterly qualities are immediately perceptible. The starting point for these landscapes was a potent experience of nature. Frequently, personal objects appear in the foreground like remnants of still lifes, making the viewer aware of the artist's presence. But the paintings are also realistic representations of places the artist visited, and Beckmann referred to photographs or postcards of these sites as part of his creative process. Further inspirations came from art itself: flashes of Beckmann's immense knowledge of art history can be seen in his citations of other works. Thus, his landscapes can be regarded as a kind of summary of his understanding of the world.

In this lavishly illustrated study, Belting deals with the double history of perspective, as a visual theory based on geometrical abstraction (in the Middle East) and as pictorial theory (in Europe). Florence and Baghdad addresses a provocative question that reaches beyond the realm of aesthetics and mathematics: What happens when Muslims and Christians look upon each other and find their way of viewing the world transformed as a result?

In this new book by Hans Belting, three monographic essays are united by one common problematic—the need for perspective after the end of perspective in modern art. Hans Belting not only opens up new ways of looking at the works of Marcel Duchamp, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, but also deals with the concept of perspective in their work. The door that Marcel Duchamp installed in Philadelphia is a metaphor for a brilliant strategy that redirects the worn out view of perspective back to ones self. Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, two protagonists of photography in contemporary art, both looked through this door as they became artists and have both referenced Duchamp time and again. Belting’s analysis and surprising discoveries also open up a new way of looking at Duchamp—a lifelong experiment, in which art, in the name of perspective, is freely negotiated with the viewer. It was a bout of seasickness on a trip to Buenos Aires that gave Duchamp the impulse for his highly original reflection on horizon, perspective and gravity. Hans Belting’s very knowledgeable and coherent reasoning makes for a highly captivating book, embellished with 79 illustrations to help lead the reader through the pictorial art of perspective.

In this title, Belting examines how art is made, viewed, and interpreted today. Arguing that contemporary art has burst out of the frame that art history had built for it, Belting calls for an entirely new approach to thinking and writing about art. schovat popis
