Special Issue "New Directions in Neo-Impressionism"
2012
Articles 0041-0048

Scholarly literature has much privileged Georges Seurat's oeuvre to "explain" neo-impressionism, not least its technique, the point (pointillism) or divided facture (divisionism). While Seurat's production is indisputably key to the history of neo-impressionism, critically analyzing the movement beyond the celebrity of Seurat – its developments after the artist's untimely early death in 1891, its diverse practitioners, and the origins of that very narrative – opens up fresh interpretations with new insights.
Special Issue "Vincenzo Scamozzi: Lektüren eines gelehrten Architekten"

These papers derive from a colloquium held at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich (ZI). The occasion was a new acquisition for the ZI's library: a volume of the first complete edition of Sebastiano Serlio's "Books on Architecture" (Venice 1551) annotated by Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616). The copy is one of the very few surviving annotated books from Scamozzi, who is known for his broad erudition. It is a first-rate art-historical source that has remained unknown until now and provides direct insight into Scamozzi's working methods.
