Eingehende kunsthistorische Reflexion über Werturteile in der Kunst von einem der führenden Kuratoren Europas"Dies ist ein notwendiges Buch. Der Begriff der Qualität ist ein Schlüsselbegriff in der Kunstgeschichte, der oft wenig verstanden wird."- Miguel Falomir, Direktor, Museo del Prado"Dass dies eine legitime, ja sogar eine notwendige Frage ist, diskutiert Vergara auf angenehme Weise, mit dem Tempo und der Haltung eines peripatetischen Denkers. Es gibt hier etwas, das an Montaigne oder Stendhal erinnert.- Antonio Muñoz Molina, El País"Dieses wunderbare und weise Buch hat mich dazu gebracht, Kunst ohne Einschüchterung oder Verwirrung zu betrachten. Es ist ein großes Vergnügen, von dem erfahrenen Auge von Alejandro Vergara geführt zu werden."- Olga Tokarczuk, Trägerin des Nobelpreises für LiteraturIm Laufe der Geschichte haben sich Menschen darin überboten, Kunst von höchster Qualität zu schaffen. Aristoteles schrieb, dass Homer "alle anderen übertroffen" habe, während Plinius der Älteste auf "Meisterwerke, die wir nie müde werden zu bewundern" bezog. Velázquez unterschied zwischen "mit Kunst gemachten" Porträts und denen, die dies nicht waren. Was meinten sie alle genau? Und was meinen wir, wenn wir sagen, dass ein Kunstwerk gut ist, von hoher Qualität? Dieses Buch ist ein Versuch, diese zentrale Frage zu klären, die bislang überraschend unerforscht geblieben ist.Alejandro Vergara-sharp argumentiert, dass "ein tiefes Wissen über die Kunstgeschichte uns die Werkzeuge verleiht, um dieses Thema objektiv zu erreichen". Anschließend lädt er den Leser ein, mit ihm auf eine sokratische Entdeckungsreise zu gehen und enthüllt nach und nach Argumente, die uns dabei helfen können, dieses schwer fassbare und entscheidende Konzept zu verstehen. Alejandro Vergara-sharp (geb. 1960, Washington DC) ist leitender Kurator für flämische und nordeuropäische Gemälde im Museo Nacional Del Prado in Madrid.

- Werner Mantz - The Perfect Eye is the publication accompanying the retrospective exhibition of Werner Mantz at the Bonnefanten in Maastricht from 25 September 2022 to 26 February 2023Werner Mantz (1901-1983) was a prominent architectural and industrial photographer who began his career in the 1920s. His work occupies a unique historical position thanks to his visual language, technical prowess and use of natural light. As one of the most important photographers of the New Building movement, Mantz's oeuvre bridges the gap between the often-anonymous nature of commissioned photography and the modernist, artistic avant-garde movements of the interwar years, such as the Bauhaus. In the 1970s, Mantz was even hailed as the 'missing link' in the history of international photography. To date, only thematic selections from Mantz's wide-ranging oeuvre have been exhibited. This monograph sets the record straight by showcasing, for the very first time, his immense versatility. Werner Mantz - The Perfect Eye contains over 300 predominantly vintage images, ranging from architectural photography, advertising shots and portraits of adults and children, to views of industry and mines, religious subjects, shops, restaurants and interiors, as well as roads, public spaces, landscapes and travel photographs. That Mantz's oeuvre belongs to the canon of international photography is indisputable. With text contributions by Frits Gierstberg, Stijn Huijts, Huub Smeets, Charlotte Mantz and Clément Mantz. Werner Mantz - The Perfect Eye is the publication accompanying the retrospective exhibition of Werner Mantz at the Bonnefanten in Maastricht from 25 September 2022 to 26 February 2023.
