This book examines Roman façades decorated with fresco and sgraffito between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that once enveloped the central rioni of Rome within a web of symbolic social, political, and familial allegiances that transformed a street-side stroll into a visually engaging experience. Today, many of these faces are lost, and our understanding of what they comprised is frighteningly incomplete. This book offers a refreshed look at this often-forgotten facet of Renaissance visual culture to reignite interest in the tradition before its last remnants disappear. In addition to offering a new compilation of these documented façades, this book also places new emphasis on the making and meaning of these "painted faces" to provide new insights into the place of the decorated façade at the intersections of patron identity and painterly innovation in a city working tirelessly to reinvent itself.

Frans Hals (1582/83-1666) is rightfully considered one of the most important seventeenth-century Dutch painters. His portraits are admired for their virtuoso brushwork and their seemingly spontaneous character. This volume, with fourteen contributions by twenty-six specialists on Hals's paintings and his artistic network in Haarlem and beyond, presents a rich palette of new research. The authors introduce subjects such as the artist's clientele - from clergymen and fellow painters to governors of charitable institutions - as well as stylistic and technical aspects of individual paintings. Results of recent restorations are discussed, but also how advanced digital technologies contribute to our understanding of the painter's style and artistic development. A final section is dedicated to the rediscovery of Frans Hals in the second half of the nineteenth century and to the following art historical debate among connoisseurs about the artist's oeuvre. Frans Hals: Iconography - Technique - Reputation is the first volume in the Frans Hals Studies book series and is richly illustrated with close to two hundred colour illustrations.

Wo Worte ihre Kraft und Bedeutung verlieren, kann die Kunst sprechen. Sie hat ihre eigenen Möglichkeiten, um Vielschichtigkeit sichtbar zu machen, Geschehenes zu kommentieren oder Gedanken zu verbinden. Das beweisen die 2024 mit dem Westerwaldpreis prämierten und im Rahmen der Preisvergabe ausgestellten keramischen Arbeiten einmal mehr auf vielfältige Weise.Während Irina Razumovskaya (geb. 1990, 1. Preis) durch ihre berührende Oberflächengestaltung Schmerz und Komplexität verbildlicht, erwachsen auf den skulpturalen Objekten von Nora Arrieta (geb. 1989, 2. Preis) märchenhafte oder gar apokalyptische Bildwelten. Bodil Manz (geb. 1943) erobert die Salzkeramik mit ihrem klaren, geometrisierenden Stil und kann damit den Preis der Stadt Höhr-Grenzhausen erringen. Für ihre mutigen, farbenfrohen Perspektiven in der Keramik wird Beate Gatschelhofer (geb. 1994) der Förderpreis verliehen.

Design for Cultural Commoning explores the role of design-based thinking and practice in the construction of cultural common spaces.Torange Khonsari shows how the commons in the cultural domain can be a driver towards addressing a range of critical community and societal concerns, from citizen apathy and lack of trust, to extractive production of cultural objects exhausting our earth's resources and exacerbating the gap between the powerful and the powerless.
