THE MASTERPIECE BY VICTOR HUGO ALSO REMAINS VERY POPULAR THANKS TO THE MUSICAL VERSION AND THE MANY MOVIES. Over thirty films have been made of ‘Les Miserables’ and Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) is currently shooting a new version with a top cast. In March, it is exactly 150 years since ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo was published. Not in Paris as is often assumed, but in Brussels. The first theatrical performance of ‘Les Misérables’, an adaptation of the book by his son Charles, also took place in Brussels. In addition to these two premieres of ‘Les Misérables’, Brussels played a crucial role in Victor Hugo’s life and his career as a writer and thinker. Closely related to Hugo’s connection with Brussels is also his call for a United States of Europe.

  • Form Vision Hans Theys
    Form Vision Hans Theys Form Vision Artists on Art Tornado Editions 2019 To Tamara Van San In 1983, a fellow student handed me this Banda copy, suggesting it might be interesting for me – as an aficionado of art and literature – to study the writings of Kafka without interpreting them. The origin of the book you are holding now lies within this generous gesture. Thirty years later, when I accidently rediscovered it, I realised that the text quotes a book by Susan Sontag, translated and typewritten by an unknown hand. Everyone has a sort of individual form vision. In all the greatest artists the seeds of this form vision has been present even in their early work, and to some extent their work has been a gradual unfolding of this rhythm throughout. (…) It’s something the artist can’t control – it’s his make up. (…) The less conscious you are of your own individual form rhythm, the more likely it is, I think, to get richer and fuller and develop. Henry Moore, 1941 What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. (…) The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

  • Dr HD CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS
    Dr H. D. CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS COLLECTION Architecture Museum, University of South Australia Dr H. DAVID CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS SERIES 260 HISTORY Dr H. David Chamberlain was born in Adelaide in 1942 and was educated at Highgate Primary and Unley High Schools. He studied medicine at the University of Adelaide and began practising medicine in Kurralta Park in 1969. On his first trip to Europe in 1975 he became fascinated by its architecture and history, and discovered the world of architectural prints and purchase these and architectural books on subsequent trips. The Architecture Museum at the University of South Australia has been pleased to accept many of these. In 1975 Dr Chamberlain purchased and restored a historic home in the Mt Lofty Ranges above Adelaide. COLLECTION DESCRIPTION Over several years Dr H.D. Chamberlain has made a very generous series of donations of prints and books containing prints to the Architecture Museum. The total holding of this collection is over 4000 prints and over 100 books. So far, a preliminary cataloguing has been done for three-quarters of the prints. While the focus of this collection is architecture, it is diverse, and it is also significant as a resource of British and European history and art of the 18th and 19th (and to a lesser extent 17th and 20th) centuries. The main counties of origin are Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Flanders and Holland. The historical aspects of the collection are obvious, but are even more pertinent because a large proportion of the prints show human activity as well as buildings.
