The question of the independence of Byzantine iconography continues to draw attention. Following extensive research on the persistence of Classical motifs in Byzantine art, interest has recently turned to the originality of the latter and its reliability as a historical source. This study examines whether military equipment (armour, weapons, insignia and costume) shown in images of the warrior saints reflects items actually used in the mid-Byzantine Army or merely repeats Classical forms. Such representations are compared with documentary evidence gathered chiefly from Byzantine military manuals. The author demonstrates that military equipment, being a vital branch of material culture subject to constant evolution, provides a good indicator of iconographic innovation in the art of Byzantium.

Ongedwongen, poëtisch en tijdloos. Zo kunnen we de ontwerpen van Jean-François D'Or karakteriseren. De Belgische designer van het jaar 2013 werkt zichzelf niet in de belangstelling met grote spektakelstukken, maar drukt met zijn bijzondere talent vooral een eigen stempel op het domein van de kleinere woon- en interieuraccessoires zoals schalen, lampen, vazen, kapstokken, deurhendels, spiegels, ... Kleine touches die in alle subtiliteit een interieur kleuren en tegelijkertijd ook erg 'democratisch' design dat een groot publiek kan verleiden. Vertrekkend vanuit een analyse van de functionaliteit van een object ontwerpt hij uitgepuurde en ergonomisch geperfectioneerde items zonder daarbij evenwel de esthetiek uit het oog te verliezen. Of zoals hij het zelfs zegt: Ik wil me onderscheiden zonder daarin te veel grenzen te overschrijden, net ver genoeg gaan om de tijdloosheid te bereiken. First solo show by the Belgian designer of the year in Grand-Hornu. In 2003, he set up his own industrial design office : Loudordesign studio. His approach takes account of companies demands as well as users needs and is characterised by its accurateness. Exploring numerous materials, Jean-François D'Or brings out their beauty without ostentation. His simple, unpretentious, logical objects appeal as much for their clearly perceptible design as their discrete poetry. The exhibition "Moodboards" aims primarily to highlight his inspiration and universe characterised by mental rigor and poetry.

In this broadly researched and engagingly written study, historian Michael Allen examines the image of the rodeo cowboy and the role this image has played in popular culture over the past century. He sees rodeo as a significant American folk festival and the rodeo cowboy as the surviving avatar of a nearly vanished authentic figure - the "real cowboy," who embodies the skills and values of traditional western rural culture. Rodeo Cowboys in the North American Imagination explores the evolution of the myth of the rodeo man and its subsequent institutionalization and acculturation into the media of popular culture - movies and television, folklore and literature, country music, and the visual arts.

This volume addresses the cultural, technical and ethical motivations of the history of drawing of machines and its developments step by step. First it treats drawings without any technical character; then the Renaissance with its new forms of drawing; the 18th century, with orthographic projections, immediately used by industry; the 19th century, including the applications of drawing in industry; and the 20th century, with the standardization institutions and the use of the computer. The role of historical drawings and archives in modern design is also examined. This book is of value to all those who are interested in technical drawing, either from an artistic, from a design, or from an engineering point of view.
