Abstract

This fascinating book presents the first cultural history and anthropology of the face across centuries, continents, and media. Ranging from funerary masks and masks in drama to the figural work of contemporary artists including Cindy Sherman and Nam June Paik, renowned art historian Hans Belting emphasizes that while the face plays a critical role in human communication, it defies attempts at visual representation. Belting divides his book into three parts: faces as masks of the self, portraiture as a constantly evolving mask in Western culture, and the fate of the face in the age of mass media. Referencing a vast array of sources, Belting's insights draw on art history, philosophy, theories of visual culture, and cognitive science. He demonstrates that Western efforts to portray the face have repeatedly failed, even with the developments of new media such as photography and film, which promise ever-greater degrees of verisimilitude. In spite of sitting at the heart of human expression, the face resists possession, and creative endeavors to capture it inevitably result in masks--hollow signifiers of the humanity they're meant to embody. From creations by Van Eyck and August Sander to works by Francis Bacon, Ingmar Bergman, and Chuck Close, "Face and Mask" takes a remarkable look at how, through the centuries, the physical visage has inspired and evaded artistic interpretation.

Abstract

Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions - monstrosities even - that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a sense of agitation undermines structures of statuesque control or erupts into wild, unruly displays of constant genesis. The monstrosity of ornament is brought into play through strategies of hybridity and metamorphosis, or by the handling of scale, proportion, and space in ambiguous and discomforting ways that break with the laws of physical reality. An interest in strange exaggeration and curious artifice allows for such colossal ornamental attitude to thrive within early modern art.

Abstract

Wo der Mensch die Kirche betritt, erfindet er monumentale Bilder. Seit dem Ende des 11. Jahrhunderts zieht der Kircheneingang zunehmend die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Wo ursprünglich die Künste zusammenwirkten, sind es heute die Wissenschaftler: Das mittelalterliche Kirchenportal ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsfeld. Dieser Band ist aus dem wissenschaftlichen Dialog zwischen Kunstgeschichte, Bauforschung und Restaurierungswissenschaft entstanden: Wie sind die mittelalterlichen Portale geplant, wie praktisch ausgeführt? Welche theologischen, geistesgeschichtlichen, logistischen und konstruktiven Ideen kommen hier zum Ausdruck? In den versammelten 25 Aufsätzen präsentieren Wissenschaftler aus Belgien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Israel, Italien, Österreich, der Schweiz, Skandinavien und Spanien neue methodische Herangehensweisen und Forschungsergebnisse.
