Als der Krieg kam … / When the war came …: Neue Beiträge zur Kunst in der Ukraine / New studies into art in Ukraine
The volume comprises seven contributions of the Ukraine Forum, which was organized at short notice in response to the Russian aggression within the framework of the 36th German Art Historians’ Day in Stuttgart on March 24–25, 2022. The methodologically differently profiled papers by authors from Ukraine, Poland and Germany deal with selected aspects of architecture and visual arts in Ukraine from the 19th century to the present day. What they have in common is that they all deal with the topic of war and its impact on Ukrainian art and culture in different ways. At the same time, the contributions not only explore Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage, but also seek to make it better known outside the country.
Con bella maniera: Festgabe für Peter Seiler zum 65. Geburtstag
Con bella maniera... under this motto the authors of the present volume pay tribute to the art historian Peter Seiler. Their contributions not only reflect the scholar's cross-genre and cross-epoch research interests and interdisciplinary approach, but also bear witness to friendships that have survived from all phases of his academic vita - from his student days in Heidelberg to his formative time as a fellow at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome and his career at the art history institutes of Freie Universität and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as research assistant, associate professor, head of the Census and adjunct professor. His bella maniera transcends the art historical terminus technicus and combines the „time-honoured learnable practices“ of art history with innovative research approaches and the delicate nature of human interaction.
