Dem Kouml;nigssohn Apollonius von Tyrland ist ein wechselhaftes Schicksal beschieden: In der Zeit der Trennung von Frau und Tochter bereist er den Orient; begegnet andersartigen Vouml;lkern; exotischen Tieren und Ungeheuern; er erlebt zahlreiche Abenteuer und findet sich als Minneritter an der Seite edler Damen ein; bis er schlieszlig;lich mit seiner Familie wieder vereint wird. Diese Historie; die sich seit spauml;tantiker Zeit verbreitete und die Heinrich von Neustadt in mittelhochdeutscher Sprache ausschmuuml;ckend erzauml;hlte; ist in zwei Papierhandschriften aus der zweiten Hauml;lfte des 15. Jahrhunderts erhalten; die mit zahlreichen Illustrationen ausgestattet wurden. Margit Krenn untersucht das Bildprogramm und dessen Funktionsweise systematisch und zeigt; dass die Bildgestalter eine Deutung der Geschichte lieferten; die zwar der Intention der Textvorlage entspricht; die aber mithilfe gezielter ikonographischer Ruuml;ckgriffe aus christlichem; ritterlichem und heldenepischem Kontext auch eigene Akzente setzt. Damit belegt sie die eigenstauml;ndigen Mouml;glichkeiten des Mediums Bild und bereichert die Bild-Text-Forschung um ein Musterbeispiel spauml;tmittelalterlicher profaner Buchillustration; das sich in besonderer Weise an qualitativ hochwertigen Vorbildern aus dem Bereich der Chronikhandschriften orientiert.

Those new to J.W. are directed to the Frank Book; and the intrepid may proceed from there. A compilation of sketchbook drawings; Problematic is at turns dark and disturbing; hilarious and delightful; enigmatic and ineffable....just like life itself.This high quality hardback book will fascinate and frighten for hours; and should be kept in the same place as the volatile solvents; kitchen knives; and prescription medications. In other words; out of the reach of small children and household pets.We should all give thanks that Jim lives in his head; such that we dont have to. His is a necessary endeavor; not unlike a shaman who ingests sacred plants in order to bring us visions from co-existent universes.Then again; maybe that is exactly who he is.Thank you; Mr. Woodring.I will be careful not to look between these covers when it is too close to bedtime when I am home alone.On the other hand.......2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Reveals the processBy J. PoinskiJim Woodringrsquo;s offerings are usually in lsquo;comic bookrsquo; format; this book brings you a different aspect of the creative nature of the man. Each drawing is a portrait that is produced in a short timeframe. The materials needed are portable; making it possible for the work to be more impulsive and spontaneous. It was well reproduced and the drawings reveal every pencil line and lsquo;first draft ghost imagersquo; that went into the process.I am a fan of his work; and comic art in general; so this was a lsquo;must haversquo; purchase.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A behind-the-scenes type of experienceBy PatrickIf youre a fan of Jim Woodring; this is a must-have. You can get this product on his website for $100.00 with a hand-drawn sketch by Mr.Woodring on the last page; totally worth it to support such an amazing artist. If youre not already a fan; then Id recommend The Frank Book as your introduction...youll be shelling out your hard earned money to support this artist in no time; haha.Problematic: Sketchbook Drawings 2004-2012 is like owning one of Jims own sketchbooks; a rare glimpse into an unfiltered collection of random ideas of his.The only thing I had an issue with is that the entire marketing of this product reads like an advertisement for Moleskine sketchbooks.
