    Picturing war in France, 1792-1856 (2017)

    ISBN: 9780300228267 , 0300228260
    Content: From the walls of the Salon to the pages of weekly newspapers, war imagery was immensely popular in postrevolutionary France. This fascinating book studies representations of contemporary conflict in the first half of the 19th century and explores how these pictures provided citizens with an imaginative stake in wars being waged in their name. As she traces the evolution of images of war from a visual form that had previously been intended for mostly elite audiences to one that was enjoyed by a much broader public over the course of the 19th century, Katie Hornstein carefully considers the influence of emergent technologies and popular media, such as lithography, photography, and panoramas, on both artistic style and public taste. With close readings and handsome reproductions in various media, from monumental battle paintings to popular prints, Picturing War in France,1792-1856 draws on contemporary art criticism, war reporting, and the burgeoning illustrated press to reveal the crucial role such images played in shaping modern understandings of conflict. --

    Content: Introduction: threads that bind -- The householders -- From the gate to the field -- Unfinished work: the H.D. book and Narkissos -- If all the world were paper: salvage and witnessing in the atomic age -- Seven deadly virtues (a coda)
    Content: "The Householders: Robert Duncan and Jess is a book-length study of the poet Robert Duncan (1919-88) and the artist Jess (1923-2004), examining the ways in which the couple negotiated issues of collaboration, nourishment, belonging, and power within the physical and conceptual household they shared as well a reading of the creative work they undertook from 1951 until 1980. The book's methodology is to think and write Jess and Duncan with and against each other. Each chapter unspools from a specific aspect of their life and work, including: (1) the household of two men; (2) their collaboration via the Caesar's Gate; (3) the unfinished works made in tandem by each man (Jess's Narkissos and Duncan's The H.D. Book); (4) in the face of postwar catastrophes (the atomic bomb and the Vietnam War), the generative nature of their respective origin myths and self-generated genealogies as a form of world-building; (5) coda that that focuses on their lived experience and their attempt to imagine an other world for our contemporary moment. The book reads the couple together closely, and is interdisciplinary in the truest sense of the term as well as extremely intimate. It toggles between close readings of Jess's artworks and Duncan's prose and poems and a narrative of their shared life, woven together with extensive archival research, interviews with more than a dozen of their intimates, and discussion of recent queer and feminist theory. Their lives and their lived difference resonate with today's climate of regressive politics, authoritarianism, and surveillance. They model forms of world-building and world-imagining--via salvage, witnessing, and care for one another--that are vital for contemporary life. Lastly, it's a love story"--

    Mary Cassatt - painter of modern women (2022)

    Format: 286 Seiten , Illustrationen

    ISBN: 9780500204818
    Series Statement: World of art
    Content: A close ally of Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot and Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt was the only American painter at the heart of the Impressionist group in Paris. Highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic, Cassatt was a forthright advocate for women's intellectual, creative and political emancipation. She brought her discerning gaze and compositional inventiveness across many media to the subtle social interactions of women in public and private spaces, such as at the theatre, and in moments of intimacy with children, where she was one of the most attentive and unsentimental analysts of the infant body and the child's emerging personality.0 Tracing key moments in Cassatt's long career, art historian Griselda Pollock highlights Cassatt's extensive artistic training across Europe, analysing her profound study of Old Masters while revealing her intelligent understanding of both Manet and Courbet. Pollock also provides close readings of Cassatt's paintings and her singular vision of women in modernity. Now revised with a new preface, updates to the bibliography and colour illustrations throughout, this book offers a rich perspective on the core concerns of a major Impressionist artist through the frames of class, gender, space and difference

    The little street : the neighborhood in seventeenth-century Dutch art and culture (2022)

    Format: VII, 200 Seiten , Illustrationen
    ISBN: 0300259115 , 9780300259117
    Content: The neighborhood was a principal organizing structure of Dutch cities in the seventeenth century, and each had its own regulations, administrators, social networks, events, and diverse population of residents. Linda Stone-Ferrier argues that this sense of community contributed to the steady demand for pictures portraying aspects of this culture. These paintings, by such artists as Jan Steen and Pieter de Hooch, reinforced the role and values of the neighborhood. Through close readings of such works-by Steen and De Hooch and, among others, Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Johannes Vermeer-Stone-Ferrier deftly considers social history, urban studies, anthropology, and women's studies in this penetrating exploration. Her new interpretations of seventeenth-century Dutch painting across genres-scenes of streets, domesticity, professions, and festivity-challenge existing paradigms in Dutch art history

    Content: This book takes as its subject the complex and shifting relationship between television and contemporary art.

Paying particular attention to developments since the early 2000s, this book includes chapters on exhibiting television as object; soaps, sitcoms, and symbolic value in art and television; reality TV and the social turn in art; TV archives, memory, and media events; broadcasting and the public realm; TV talk shows and curatorial practice; art workers and TV production cultures.0

    Van Dyck and the making of English portraiture (2022)

    b3kat_BV048513410
    Format: IX, 246 Seiten , Illustrationen, Porträts (farbig) , 27,7 cm
    ISBN: 9781913107345
    Content: As a courtier, figure of fashion, and object of erotic fascination, Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) transformed the professional identities available to English artists. By making his portrait sittings into a form of courtly spectacle, Van Dyck inspired poets and playwrights at the same time that he offended guardians of traditional hierarchies. A self-consciously Van Dyckian lineage of artists, many of them women, extends from his lifetime to the end of the eighteenth century and beyond.0 Recovering the often surprising responses of both writers and painters to Van Dyck's portraits, this book provides an alternative perspective on English art's historical self-consciousness. Built around a series of close readings of artworks and texts ranging from poems and plays to early biographies and studio gossip, it traces the reception of Van Dyck's art on the part of artists like Mary Beale, William Hogarth, and Richard and Maria Cosway to bestow a historical specificity on the frequent claim that Van Dyck founded an English school of portraiture

    ISBN: 9783956794667 , 3956794664
    Note: "The publication developed from the exhibition and research project The Place Is Here (2016-19), which traced the urgent and wide-ranging conversations taking place between black artists, writers, and thinkers in Britain during the 1980s. Within the context of Thatcherism and a racist art establishment, a new generation of black artists and intellectuals produced some of the most compelling ideas and images in recent British cultural history. Across four exhibitions, The Place Is Here brought together over one hundred works by forty artists and collectives, spanning painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and expanded archival displays. Richly illustrated, the book includes thematic essays, close readings of works, and a series of panel discussions bringing together key scholarly, critical, and artistic voices foundational to art in Britain in the 1980s. The result is an intergenerational dialogue around pressing intellectual, political, and aesthetic debates, highlighting the significance of the work of these artists for the present.

    Series Statement: Cat. nr. (Amsterdam (Netherlands). Stedelijk Museum) ; 942
    Content: "Lily van der Stokker is recognised for her exuberant and decorative murals. Her work is ostensibly about things like beauty, friendship, and kindness, or about everyday activities such as tidying up or visiting the doctor - subjects seldom encountered in contemporary art. Yet her conceptual approach gives these ordinary things an entirely new dimension. Published in conjunction with an exhibition of Van der Stokker's work at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, this book presents the themes that have typified her work since the 1990s. The close involvement of the artist in its making is apparent in its playful visual references. Essays by the two curators offer context and background."
