    Hardcover. Condition: VG. Bw-illustrated boards with white lettering. 306 pp. with illustrations throughout. "The editors of this exhibition catalog thoughtfully expand the key subject of an exhibit mounted at the M-Museum in Leuven, Belgium, marking the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I and the deliberate destruction by German troops of Leuven University Library in 1914. Founded in 1425, Leuven University shone during the sixteenth century attracting renowned humanists, Erasmus among them. Fittingly, the allegory of Mars and Minerva introduces the theme of artistic response to the destruction of art and culture during times of social conflict. The short essays circle about the human and material losses suffered by Leuven and other Belgian towns during the Great War and then spin to contemplate perceptions of the calamities brought about by religious, military, and political clashes exemplified by disparate events such as reformist fury in sixteenth-century Amsterdam; the incineration of Hiroshima; and the radicalization of Mao's China. The editors divide the essays into nine blocks organizing the movement of 400 years of artistic and literary expressions about the destructiveness of war from "Allegory" to "Modern Propaganda" and beyond. Topics include the lasting effects of damage caused by widespread destructive frenzies; the relationship between despoliation of cultural artifacts and the dehumanization of entire communities; the impetus for looting, iconoclasm, libricide, and genocide; the ethical, moral, and legal deliberation necessary to reduce the destruction of creative production that attends social cataclysms; the countervailing notions of cultural preservation and conservation; or the need to refresh classical allegories of intransigent gods, and more. The catalog includes over fifty reproductions of works exhibited at the M-Museum and 115 sourced images that illustrate the texts collected in the book. Brief author biographies appear at the end of the book and corresponding references follow each essay." - from the ARLIS/NA web site.

    Hardback. Condition: New. The year 2014 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and the beginning of the conflict that would become known as World War I. In addition to the devastating loss of human life, the Great War was also responsible for the destruction of historic buildings and monuments, the theft of precious artworks, and the burning of untold numbers of books. Ravaged uses this anniversary as a poignant gateway to a greater discussion of the effect of war on artistic heritage. Beginning with the Trojan War and weaving a compelling cross-cultural narrative that ends in the 21st-century Middle East, this affecting publication explores how cultural treasures often became silent victims of armed conflict. Illustrations highlight over two hundred artworks and relics, which are often featured alongside complementary written reflections from contemporary artists. This thoughtful book is a graceful homage to centuries of lost artistic treasures.Distributed for MercatorfondsExhibition Schedule:M-Museum, Leuven(03/19/14-09/01/14).

    Hardback, 305x255mm, 352p, 230 bw and col. illustrations Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9789462300422. een tentoonstelling met als centraal thema het lot van het artistieke en culturele erfgoed in tijden van conflict. De herdenking van het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en de brand van de universiteitsbibliotheek van Leuven in 1914 vormen hiervoor een uitstekend uitgangspunt. De gebeurtenissen in Leuven zijn de perfecte illustratie van het feit dat cultuurgoederen, al evenzeer als soldaten en onschuldige burgers, in tijden van conflict het slachtoffer van het oorlogsgeweld worden. Zo speelden, nog lang voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog, vernielde steden, beschadigde gebouwen en monumenten, gestolen kunstwerken en boekverbrandingen een dramatische rol in conflictperiodes. Ook vandaag nog blijven misdaden tegen de kunst meer dan ooit een realiteit. Daarom wil deze tentoonstelling de bespiegelingen van hedendaagse kunstenaars confronteren met die van kunstenaars uit het verleden. Ook vandaag nog blijven misdaden tegen de kunst meer dan ooit een realiteit. Het werk wil de impact van gewapende conflicten op het artistieke werelderfgoed volgen, vanaf de Trojaanse Oorlog tot de recente conflicten in het Midden-Oosten. Zo kunnen bespiegelingen van hedendaagse kunstenaars worden geconfronteerd met die van kunstenaars uit het verleden. 0 g.

Summary; The year 2014 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and the beginning of the conflict that would become known as World War I. In addition to the devastating loss of human life, the Great War was also responsible for the destruction of historic buildings and monuments, the theft of precious artworks, and the burning of untold numbers of books. Ravaged uses this anniversary as a poignant gateway to a greater discussion of the effect of war on artistic heritage. Beginning with the Trojan War and weaving a compelling cross-cultural narrative that ends in the 21st-century Middle East, this affecting publication explores how cultural treasures often became silent victims of armed conflict. Illustrations highlight over two hundred artworks and relics, which are often featured alongside complementary written reflections from contemporary artists. This thoughtful book is a graceful homage to centuries of lost artistic treasures. Subjects; Art and war - Exhibitions. War in art - Exhibitions. Art treasures in war - Exhibitions.
