  A New Issue of Matèria is been published.

   

  This double issue of Matèria is published in memory of Joaquim Garriga, a strong personality who influenced the configuration of our Department. He will be missed both for his personal contributions and his proven ability to revitalize our studies to a wider scope, which transcended his own research work. Besides the in memoriam dedications, here we present no less explicit dedications in the form of articles, which have come together to adress art of the modern period, despite facing at the same time aspects related to contemporary art that, as we well know, had intrigued and interested him, in the same way as good cinema or good literature.

  2018-12-20

  Matèria. Revista internacional d'Art offers in this 13th issue a series of contributions, seven in total, that will lead us through different historical stages, from the end of the Middle Ages to the most recent art production. These contributions, carefully addressed, allow us once again to reflect on our study subjects, on the ideas and the trends that record their interpretation in front of the real and virtual world in which we can see them -or see ourselves- installed.

  This issue of Matèria can be obtained in print format from the Universitat de Barcelona’s Editions website and in bookshops.

  This double issue of Matèria was published to mark the international symposium “Bosch al país de l’art”, which was held in Barcelona in April 2016. It featured 17 contributions on Hieronymus Bosch and the reach, effects and possible interpretations of his work. The issue introduced us to the extraordinary universe of the man that art historian Rosa Alcoy has described as “a true troubadour of painting”: a man who depicted his and other people’s worlds in numerous works, who shook up the 15th- and 16th-century panorama of painting and who continues to arouse immense interest today.
