Item description from seller

Harvey Miller Harvey Miller - Art History (Outside a Series) (HMSTAH) B. Baert From Kairos to Occasio through Fortuna. Text / Image / Afterlife On the Antique Critical Moment, a Grisaille in Mantua (School of Mantegna, 1495-1510), and the Fortunes of Aby Warburg (1866-1929) IV+211 p., 73 b/w ill., 220 x 280 mm, 2021 ISBN: 978-1-912554-62-1 Languages: English Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 132,00 The author discusses the Mantuan fresco’s key position in the iconographic Nachleben of the Kairos/Occasio figure, and the way the theme was accustomed in the Quattrocento and the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The ancient Greeks had a name for the joy as well as the sorrow of an occasion that suddenly presents itself, but disappears just as swiftly: kairos, or in Latin occasio. Using the Mantua grisaille as starting point and leading motif, Barbara Baert guides us in her own intriguing way through the history of the representation of this figure in art. How did the archaic Greek Kairos model survive in the Quattrocento? Which appearances did Kairos take on along the way and how can we explain his mutations? The author shows us how the semantic and rhetorical expansion of the concept kairos/occasio brought about gender switches and conflations with other personifications of time and fate. Grasping the lock of hair of Kairos/Occasio, spinning the wheel of fortune of Tyche/Fortuna, acting as the mast of the ship and holding the billowing sails, she steers us through depictions of the motionlessness of the moment throughout history before dropping anchor in the fascinating vocabulary of Aby Warburg. During this journey, she invites us to go offshore looking for a new critical moment that presents itself as a powerful opening of possibilities. Review “Never coming to rest, Barbara Baert pendulums between time and materiality, text and image, transparency and petrification, object and historiography. She energizes her surprising intellectual moves through a sensibility to language that is an integral aspect of the persuasiveness of her arguments. She is a poet. At a time of intellectual chaos in the field, she is also a scientist. Baert’s profound knowledge of art, texts, history, and theory provides, simultaneously, a radical reading of a paradigmatic Renaissance painting and a paradigm for a new and productive art history. The book is an occasion.” Herbert L. Kessler, Professor Emeritus, History of Art, Johns Hopkins University - Language : English text codice articolo 012808.
