Book Description
Henry James Framed is a cultural history of Henry James as a work of art. Throughout his life, James demonstrated an abiding interest in—some would say an obsession with—the visual arts. In his most influential testaments about the art of fiction, James frequently invoked a deeply felt analogy between imaginative writing and painting. At a time when having a photographic carte de visite was an expected social commonplace, James detested the necessity of replenishing his supply or of distributing his autographed image to well-wishing friends and imploring readers. Yet for a man who set the highest premium on personal privacy, James seems to have had few reservations about serving as a model for artists in other media and sat for his portrait a remarkable number of twenty-four times. Surprisingly few James scholars have brought into primary focus those occasions when the author was not writing about art but instead became art himself, through the creative expression of another’s talent. To better understand the twenty-four occasions he sat for others to represent him, Michael Anesko reconstructs the specific contexts for these works’ coming into being, assesses James’s relationships with his artists and patrons, documents his judgments concerning the objects produced, and, insofar as possible, traces the later provenance of each of them. James’s long-established intimacy with the studio world deepened his understanding of the complex relationship between the artist and his sitter. James insisted above all that a portrait was a revelation of two realities: the man whom it was the artist’s conscious effort to reveal and the artist, or interpreter, expressed in the very quality and temper of that effort. The product offered a double vision—the strongest dose of life that art could give, and the strongest dose of art that life could give.

Book Description
Joseph Haydn wurde bereits zu Lebzeiten als "Orpheus", "Shakespeare" oder "Tintoretto der Musik" bezeichnet. Diese Benennungen aus Musik, Literatur und Bildender Kunst zeigen uns die Wertschätzung, die er bei seinen Zeitgenossen erfuhr. Darüber hinaus geben sie auch den Anstoß, sich den Fragen zu stellen, wie sehr sich Haydn für die anderen Künste interessierte bzw. wie Haydn seinerseits Künstlerinnen und Künstler aller Sparten bis heute inspiriert. In den Jahren 2013, 2015 und 2017 wurden im Rahmen der Haydn Festspiele in Eisenstadt von der Internationalen Joseph Haydn Privatstiftung Eisenstadt gemeinsam mit der Kulturabteilung der Burgenländischen Landesregierung drei musikwissenschaftliche Symposien veranstaltet, die sich diesen Aspekten widmeten. Unter den Tagungsthemen "Joseph Haydn und die Künste", "Aufführungspraxis und Interpretation – Zur Rezeptionsgeschichte von Joseph Haydns Werken" und "Haydn und ,Die Schöpfung' – Zur Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte von Haydns Oratorium" gehaltene Referate wurden für den vorliegenden Band von den Autorinnen und Autoren überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Mit Beiträgen von Ulrich Wilker | Thomas Tolley | Bodo Plachta | Cornelia Szabó-Knotik | Clemens Harasim | Felix Diergarten | Marko Motnik | Christian Moritz-Bauer | Caryl Clark | Clive Brown | Bernadeta Czapraga und Rainer J.
