Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Versuchung Der Schonen Form: Spannungen in
Book SynopsisThe question of tensions in medieval 'edification' concepts leads to far-reaching problem dimensions in the historical pragmatics and aesthetics of religious art. The anthology demonstrates from an interdisciplinary perspective how important it is for the reconstruction of building in the Middle Ages to relate the history of words and concepts, the history of processes and functions to one another in a differentiated manner. Instead of starting from the semantics of modern times, the edification reduced to inwardness, discursive simplicity and pure positivity, the present volume aims at ambivalent semantization strategies with which very differentiated concepts of edification are designed and implemented in the Middle Ages. Their historical conciseness can only be revealed if the tension between metaphor and concept is taken into account for the edification semantics, and for the edification poetics the competition between different aesthetic calculations.

IRSA Malewicz: Beyond Censorship
Book SynopsisA leading scholar of the Russian avant-garde reevaluates its most iconic artist Kazimir Malewicz (Malevich; 1879–1935) is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, famed for his Suprematist works such as the so-called “Black Square” and White on White. Incredibly, his art only received its due in the West in the late 1950s; three more decades passed before it could be accessible to the Russian public. In this critical study, Andrei Nakov dissembles some foundational myths about the artist’s ethnic background, such as his Polish origins (hence the rendering of the artist’s name here as “Malewicz”), his affinity for the religious iconography of Russia and his place in modern European art. The artist’s concept of Suprematist forms is central to Nakov’s study, which interrogates certain anti-modernist visual and cultural prejudices. Andrei Nakov (born 1941) has published numerous theoretical studies, monographs and exhibition catalogs on the Russian avant-garde, Futurism, Dada, Constructivism, contemporary art and European abstract art.
