Thursday, 5 July 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b549 V/1962 Date: The letter must date from early July: Van Gogh refers to the consignment of painting supplies from Tasset (ll. 26-27) which he had received at the end of June (see letter 635).

  • É an Installation by JR #Aupanth·On Ê
    Press release, 25 February 2014 The CM N is inviting JR to create a participatory work at the Pantheon çTo the Pantheon!é an installation by JR #AuPanth·on ê www.au-pantheon.fr Press officer: Camille Boneu ê +33 (0)1 44 61 21 86 ê camille.boneu@ monuments-nationaux.fr çTo the Pantheon!é An installation by JR The restoration work currently being carried out on the Pantheon is one of the largest projects in Europe. The purpose of the current phase is to consolidate and fully restore the dome. A vast self-supporting scaffolding system ê a great technical feat ê has been built around the dome and will remain in place for two years. Last October the President of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, Philippe Bélaval, presented the President of the French Republic with a report on the role of the Pantheon in promoting the values of the Republic. The title of this public report was “Pour faire entrer le peuple au Panthéon” (Getting people into the Pantheon), and it contains suggestions on how to make the monument more attractive, encourage French people to truly identify with it, and give it a greater role in Republican ceremonies. In order to give concrete form to these proposals, which have since been approved by the public authorities, the CMN has chosen to ask a contemporary artist to carry out a worldwide project embodying the values of this monument, which is so emblematic of the French Republic. Hence for the first tim e the worksite hoardings installed around a national m onum ent will be used to present a contem porary artistic venture instead of a lucrative advertising cam paign.

  • Stereotomy and the Mediterranean: Notes Toward an Architectural History*
    STEREOTOMY AND THE MEDITERRANEAN: * NOTES TOWARD AN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY SARA GALLETTI DUKE UNIVERSITY Abstract Stereotomy, the art of cutting stones into particular shapes for the construction of vaulted structures, is an ancient art that has been practiced over a wide chronological and geographical span, from Hellenistic Greece to contemporary Apulia and across the Mediterranean Basin. Yet the history of ancient and medieval stereotomy is little understood, and nineteenth- century theories about the art’s Syrian origins, its introduction into Europe via France and the crusaders, and the intrinsic Frenchness of medieval stereotomy are still largely accepted. In this essay, I question these theories with the help of a work-in-progress database and database-driven maps that consolidate evidence of stereotomic practice from the third century BCE through the eleventh century CE and across the Mediterranean region. I argue that the history of stereotomy is far more complex than what historians have assumed so far and that, for the most part, it has yet to be written. Key Words Stereotomy, stone vaulting, applied geometry, history of construction techniques. * I am very grateful to John Jeffries Martin and Jörn Karhausen for reading drafts of this essay and providing important suggestions. I am also indebted to the faculty and students of the Centre Chastel (INHA, Paris), where I presented an early version of this essay in April 2016, for helping me clarify aspects of my research. Philippe Cabrit, a maître tailleur of the Compagnons du devoir de France, helped me immensely by generously sharing his knowledge of the practice of stereotomy. This essay is dedicated to Maître Cabrit as a token of my gratitude.

  • Cv/Cvma Newsletter Index
    CV/CVMA NEWSLETTER INDEX Author Indexes Two author indexes appeared in the Newsletter, as follows. 25 (pp. 12Ŕ13): ‘Author Index to News Letters Nos 1Ŕ25’ 35/36 (pp. 27Ŕ30): ‘author index to news letters nos. 25-35/36’ These consisted in the main of the authors of the works abstracted in the numbered abstracts; these authors are now available and searchable in the separate concordance of abstracts. Although Roy Newton acted as Editor and compiler of the Newsletter up to and including issue 26, he often included material submitted by others. From issue 27 onwards however, articles with named authors appeared in the Newsletter, and there are separate entries in the index for references to individuals and articles by those individuals (see for example Ferrazzini, J. C.). General Indexes Five general indexes appeared in the Newsletter, as follows. 10 (pp. 5Ŕ6): ‘Cumulative Index to News Letters 1Ŕ10’ 15 (pp. 16Ŕ18): ‘Cumulative Index to News Letters 1Ŕ15’ 20 (pp. 12Ŕ15): ‘Index to News Letters 11Ŕ20’ 25 (pp. 14Ŕ18): ‘Index to News Letters Nos 16Ŕ25’ 35/36 (pp. 30Ŕ32): ‘subject index to news letters nos 25-35/36’ There are variations in the ways in which bibliographic items are presented throughout the Newsletter, which differ again from the methods used in the Occasional Papers. Some obvious errors in the citations have been corrected here, but the author and title listings given here should not be used as a guide to citation in future work. References in the Index Up to and including issue 39/40, references are made to sections of individual Newsletters, as with the older indexes of the Newsletter, so 15 (1.2) is section 1.2 in Newsletter 15; occasionally a page number is added for clarification, of a section is particularly long.
