Mit ihrer Video-Skulptur »Les larmes d'acier« (Stählerne Tränen) schuf die Belgierin Marie Jo Lafontaine 1987 eine Arbeit für die documenta 8 in Kassel, die weit über das übliche Maß Aufsehen erregte und im Gedächtnis geblieben ist. Das war der internationale Durchbruch einer Künstlerin, die schon vorher große Beachtung gefunden hatte, nun aber allgemein gelobt wurde als Wegweiserin in eine neue Dimension von Video-Kunst. Es gebe keinen europäischen Video-Künstler, so David Galloway, der mit solch virtuoser Meisterschaft sein Metier beherrsche. Doch auch mit ihren Fotoarbeiten und Environments mehrte sie über die Jahre ihr Renommee in der internationalen Fachwelt. Nach dem 1992 bei Cantz publizierten Band »Immaculata« erscheint jetzt in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Marie Jo Lafontaine ein delikat gestaltetes Künstlerbuch mit den verschiedenen Aspekten ihres Werkes der letzten fünfzehn Jahre, in dem es vor allem um existenzielle Bedingungen menschlichen Daseins geht: Video- Skulpturen, Fotoarbeiten mit monochromer Malerei und Text sowie Rauminstallationen. Sorgfältig ausgewähltes Bildmaterial, Texte und Textzitate von Schriftstellern und Philosophen zeichnen ein komplexes Porträt dieser sensiblen wie kraftvollen Künstlerpersönlichkeit. (Englische Ausgabe erhältlich ISBN 3- 89322-947-7.) Zur Künstlerin: Marie Jo Lafontaine *1950 in Antwerpen. 1975-1979 Studium an der Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts Visuels La Cambre, Brüssel. 1977 Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge. 1981 Grand Prix de la Littérature Argilienne von Pierre Restany. 1990 Gastdozentin an der Sommerakademie, Salzburg. 1992 Professorin am Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe. Ausstellungen in wichtigen internationalen Galerien und Museen.Shipping Notes

Comfortable Shoes Right Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
I bought these shoes for my husband. He has a very hard time finding quality, comfortable shoes. These shoes are just as comfortable as his New Balance. He uses them as a dress shoe and wears them at least once a week. There was no break in period necessary. They were comfortable right out of the box! The only thing we didn't like was the white sole color. Once I knew he was going to keep them, I used a black sharpie marker to color the soles black. Instant amazing, comfortable dress shoes. They were well worth the cost. If you or your SO needs a comfortable pair of shoes, we highly recommend them.

Paid for new, received used.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Cognac
Arrived dirty as if someone whore it for more than a few days. Maybe I was mistaken, but I saw nothing about “previously used” on the Amazon page. Returned it.
I would suggest that the company use quality control when it comes to shipping. The shoes seem find otherwise. I ordered 9.5 and it was just a bit tight. If I reorder I will go for size 10.

Decent Shoes with Misleading Description (Not Leather)
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black
I only look for leather when I’m purchasing dress shoes. Under the description “details” on this item it lists the shoe as leather upper and inner lining. A photo shows “genuine Napa leather lining”. If you keep reading (which I have now that I’ve received the shoes) it shows “faux leather” in the small print and that is not “leather”. I run a small leather business and this irks me because it’s clearly false advertising. The details also show the product is made in Brazil but when they arrived today, the shoe tag shows “Made in China” and “Man Made upper and lower”. I don’t hate the shoes. They look nice. What I know is they won’t hold up over time like leather, which is why the description should be accurate and not misleading.
