Med Gennembrud – Kvinder i dansk kunst fra 1600-tallet til i dag kommer den første samlede fremstilling af kvindelige kunstnere i Danmark fra 1600-tallet til i dag.Interessen for kvinder i kunsten er de senere år intensiveret, og 2020 blev bl.a. året, hvor SMK slog dørene op til en omfattende udstilling med Anna Ancher. Vejen hertil har ikke været uden udfordringer. Siden de første generationer, som bogen belyser, er de kvindelige kunstnere blevet mødt af ringe uddannelsesmuligheder, manglende accept og tøvende, distanceret og ofte fordomsfuld modtagelse.Gennembrud byder på talrige kunstnerportrætter og belyser centrale kunstneriske motiver og temaer, kunstneriske nybrud, kunstnergrupperinger og fællesskaber gennem hele kunsthistorien. Herigennem skildrer den rigt illustrerede bog en lang række kvindelige, danske kunstnere, som ikke tidligere har været belyst i en større sammenhæng.

I samarbejde med Ny Carlsbergfondet lancerer Informations Forlag serien Bibliotek for ny kunstteori - en række oversættelser af international kunst- og kulturteori.Grænserne mellem kunstarterne er blevet lige så porøse som grænserne mellem kunst og ikke-kunst. Det stiller kunstteorien over for en enorm udfordring. For hvad definerer kunsten, når den ikke længere bestemmes af de gamle genrer? Hvordan kan man stadig foretage en fornuftig sammenligning mellem værker og bedømme deres kvalitet? Og hvad betyder alt dette for kunsthistorien? Hvad følger af destabiliseringen af grænsen mellem kunst og virkelighed?Og kan man tale om en kunstens politik? Disse og mange flere spørgsmål udfolder og besvarer Juliane Rebentisch i denne indføring i samtidskunstens teorier.Juliane Rebentisch (f. 1970) er professor i filosofi og æstetik og forfatter til flere bøger, hvoraf Samtidskunstens teori er den første i dansk oversættelse. I 2017 modtog hun Lessing-prisen som den første kvinde, siden den blev givet til Hannah Arendt i 1959.ANMELDELSER:”Enhver, der ønsker at deltage i diskussionen om nutidens kunst, skal tage Juliane Rebentischs holdninger til efterretning” - Neue Zürcher ZeitungRebentischs tilgang (...)

Jørgen Johansen inviterer læseren med på pilgrimsfærd i sporene på den berømte helgen, digter, prædikant, dyreven og miljøforkæmper Frans af Assisi (1181-1226).Rejsen begynder i Assisi, middelalderens blomstrende handelsby, hvor Frans af Assisi blev født ind i en købmandsfamilie, hvis penge og forbindelser gjorde det muligt for ham at rejse i store dele af Italien.Med Johansen som kyndigguide til epokens kultur, kunst og historie følger vi Frans’ rejser i Umbrien, men også til Venedig i nord og til Rom i syd. Områder, som Johansen beskriver så levende, at lyde, stemning og dufte kommer helt tæt på. Samtidig betyder Johansens store viden og kulturhistoriske overblik, at Frans’ egen epoke føles nærværende.PÅ FRANS AF ASSISIS VEJE fortæller den fascinerende historie om købmandsarvingen, der gav alt væk til de fattige, omgikkes spedalske, stiftede en munkeorden med fattigdom og ydmyghed som idealer og levede sit liv i pagt og harmoni med dyre- og planteverdenen. Arven efter Frans forvaltes i nutidens Assisi, som er blevet et centrum for spiritualitet og bæredygtig omgang med naturen.Bogen er rigt illustreret og gennemgår de største hovedværker i kunstnernes behandlinger af Frans af Assisi – fra middelalderen over renæssancen til moderne tid.PÅ FRANS AF ASSISIS VEJE er på én gang den ideelle ledsager til Italiensrejsen og i sig selv en Italiensrejse, som man kan nyde og varmes ved under de nordligere himmelstrøg.Om forfatterenJørgen Johansen, født 1941, er forfatter og journalist.
