Studying the effects of light, climate, and the seasons, Camille Pisarro experimented with art theory and technique, and fused a distinctive style that remained his own within the larger style of Impressionism. This publication presents Pisarro's oeuvre in all its thematic and artistic diversity. It is a spectrum which extends from the coloristic masterpieces of his early years, especially his landscapes, through to his later, equally famous views of Rouen and Paris, and includes a diversity of subject matter as seen in his portraits, still lifes, market scenes and representations of everyday peasant life.

How we can enact meaningful change in computing to meet the urgent need for sustainability and justice. The deep entanglement of information technology with our societies has raised hope for a transition to more sustainable and just communities—those that phase out fossil fuels, distribute public goods fairly, allow free access to information, and waste less. In principle, computing should be able to help. But in practice, we live in a world in which opaque algorithms steer us toward misinformation and unsustainable consumerism. Insolvent shows why computing’s dominant frame of thinking is conceptually insufficient to address our current challenges, and why computing continues to incur societal debts it cannot pay back. Christoph Becker shows how we can reorient design perspectives in computer science to better align with the values of sustainability and justice. Becker positions the role of information technology and computing in environmental sustainability, social justice, and the intersection of the two, and explains why designing IT for just sustainability is both technically and ethically challenging . Becker goes on to argue that computing could be aided by critical friends—disciplines that draw on critical social theory, feminist thought, and systems thinking—to make better sense of its role in society. Finally, Becker demonstrates that it is possible to fuse critical perspectives with work in computer science, showing new and fruitful directions for computing professionals and researchers to pursue.

How to Reorient Computing for Just Sustainability

Insolvent

Die Juristische Gesellschaft Augsburg, im Jahre 1988 mit der Zielsetzung eines Gedankenaustauschs zu rechtlichen Fragen jeglicher Art gegründet, nahm im Jahre 1989 ihren Veranstaltungsbetrieb auf. Drei Jahrzehnte später weisen mehrere hundert durchgeführte Vortragsabende, Diskussionen, Mittagsgespräche und andere Veranstaltungen die Gesellschaft mit ihren Damen und Herren Referenten, Diskutanten und Gästen als Zeitzeugin aus. Der Herausgeber ließ in zwei Seminaren der Wintersemester 2017/2018 und 2018/2019 die nachwachsende Generation sich mit Themen der zurückgelegten Zeit und ihren Akteuren auseinandersetzen. Daraus entstand der vorliegende Band als Dokumentation jüngster Rechtsgeschichte und ihrer Reflexion. Der Herausgeber hält den Lehrstuhl für Bürgerliches Recht und Zivilverfahrensrecht, Römisches Recht und Europäische Rechtsgeschichte der Universität Augsburg inne und ist Vorsitzender der Juristischen Gesellschaft Augsburg.

Painter Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) produced his main body of work within the space of ten years. His famous nudes probed unwaveringly the existential core of human experience. This paintings of Jenny Saville are no less intensely physical and confrontational than Schiele's. This catalogue brings together the works of these two artists for the first time, revealing stylistic and thematic affinities in their body-landscapes and portraits - despite the decades separating their work and the difference in their brushwork. The paintings and drawings of both artists lend the body an insistent corporeality. In Schiele's usually small-format self-portraits, the pose, the accentuated view from below and gestural style give the images an impact equal to the forceful punch of Saville's giant forms.

Shows Henry Fuseli as a highly educated and sophisticated inventor of powerful and idiosyncratic images and surprising interpretations of the great texts of world literature. This book presents little known aspects of Fuseli's work: portraits of fashionably dressed women with extravagant hairdos and erotic drawings.

Georges Seurat

Julia Burckhardt Bild

Known as "the notary" by his contemporaries for his very proper disposition, Georges Seurat (1859-1891), was nonetheless a trailblazing artist, who devised mesmerizing effects in paint, creating what Museum of Modern Art, New York director Alfred Barr described as a "strange, almost breathless poise." Seurat's most famous painting, "La Grande Jatte" (1884), exemplifies the airy suspension of which "Pointillism" (as his style of painting-by-dabs was named) is uniquely capable, a sensation well suited to evoking in paint the sedate pace of Paris' new leisure class. For Seurat, Pointillism was also a way to attain for painting the mathematically explicable harmony of music: "Art is Harmony. Harmony is the analogy of the contrary and of similar elements of tone, of color and of line, considered according to their dominance and under the influence of light, in gay, calm or sad combinations," he declared in a letter to a friend. Seurat's style lent itself especially well to the portrayal of figures in space, and the endowing of those figures with volume and atmosphere. No other visual theme so well illustrates the tremendous innovations in Seurat's paintings and drawings as this handling of the figure, a theme which is at the heart of this new appraisal.
