Istanbul: Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture / Scala Publishing, 2010. Soft cover. New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 160 p., color ills. Mosques of Istanbul including the mosques of Bursa and Edirne. The mosques of Istanbul represent the splendour of Islamic architecture. Their central domes, rising above the skyline of the city, convey both the ideals and ambitions of powerful Ottoman sultans and the brilliance of the architects who created them. This book places these buildings in their historical, religious and social context. It traces the evolution of the Ottoman mosque from smaal, fourteenth-century examples in the first Ottoman capitals, Bursa and Edirne to those built after the capture of Constantinople in 1453, and to the vast centralised structures commissioned by Suleyman the Magnificent in the sixteenth century. The daring experiments in space, light ans structure devised by Michelangelo's. Ottoman contemporary Mimar Sinan constitute a high point of the book, but the innovations of the Baroque and Neoclassical eras which followed are also fascinating., Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture / Scala Publishing, 2010, 6, Berlin: Reimer, 2013. Hardcover. NF. Color-illus. boards; bw lettering. 280 pp. followed by 500 color and bw thumbnail images. Text in German. "Wolfgang Hildesheimer - known for his extensive literary work, his great Mozart book and the fictional biography Marbot - was also an artist. His work includes around 700 drawings, paintings and collages. They have so far been regarded as insufficiently as an important element of his artistic work. In this book Hilde Stobl examines the author and the artist in his relationship to the visual arts. In this book, the author sets the methodological methods of procedure in the literary and artistic categories analogously. The focus is on the motivic text-image relationships. It is undisputed that images are bearers of perception and recollection history - traditional evidence of a cultural memory. Wolfgang Hildesheimer questioned the relationship between the artist and the work of art, the history of the work and the historical environment. He distorts the all-too-familiar, by eliminating it and reassembling it in a different context, in order to make the work and the artist differently readable, perceptible and receptive. The question of the possibilities of language and image reception runs like a common thread through his entire work: the commonality of reception and reproduction, the emergence of something new from already given, becomes the template, the concept of his diverse artistic expressions. Hilde Strobl is a model of interdisciplinary research." - Google Translate from German., Reimer, 2013, 4<
