ART MEETS ECOLOGY Arborealists in Lady Park Wood

By George Peterken, Tim Craven and Christiana Payne Features paintings and drawings created by The Arborealists – a group of professional artists with an interest in painting woodland.

Lady Park Wood, an ancient, semi-natural wood on the slopes and cliffs of the Wye Gorge on the borders of England and Wales is a unique wood, which has been left to grow naturally for 150 years. This book is an expression of the artists’ and ecologists’ response to the woods; the two interests came together to deepen their understanding of each other and their different perspectives in an interest they share, and to promote a broader interest and understanding of native woodlands generally.

WILHELMINA BARNS-GRAHAM

By Virginia Button

An accessible and concise introduction to the artist’s life and work, written by an established expert on British modern art.

This book offers both the non-specialist and specialist reader a biographical overview of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and short chapters exploring key aspects of her work in more depth.

Currently no such book on the artist exists. Barns-Graham’s contribution to the story of ‘St Ives’ modernism has been relatively overlooked. This book provides an opportunity to assess her work as a woman artist in an overtly masculine, post-war art world milieu, and tells how, following early promise and success, she overcame personal and professional challenges in mid-career to achieve recognition at the end of her life.

DESMOND MORRIS

THE SEASONS

The Late Work. Catalogue Raisonné 20122020

Artists, Landscape and the Changing Year

By Gill Clarke and Steve Marshall

By Silvano Levy Focuses on twentieth-centur y and contemporary painters and printmakers to celebrate and explore the unique character of each season.

This third volume on Desmond Morris covers his work produced between 2012 and 2020.

It is unusual for artists of an advanced age to be as productive as they were when they were young but with Morris the opposite has been the case; between the ages of 84 and 92 he has produced over 1000 works. He has managed to maintain the same technical level as he did in earlier days.

Themes include the changing face of the landscape, plants that leaf, flower and fruit at particular times, wildlife that is prominent in different seasons, the farming calendar, customs and the weather. The authors explore how changes in farming practices, urban development and climate change have affected how we experience seasonality over the last century.

JEREMY GARDINER

DEREK BALMER

South by Southwest

A Singular Vision, 2nd Edition

By Jeremy Gardiner

By Derek Balmer

A new body of work gathered by years of exploring locations on Britain’s south coast.

Artist Derek Balmer looks back on a rewarding double career as painter and photographer.

Jeremy Gardiner has taken his inspiration, not only from the natural world which has long been a feature of his work, but from popular portrayals of the coastal landscape in travel posters, guidebooks, postcards and View Master reels. Gardiner’s work reflects a deep, long-term interest in the geology of landscape and how it is shaped by the forces of nature.

Balmer was part of the exciting 1960s Bristol arts scene. An early Arnolfini artist, with two one-man shows in the 1960s, he didn't paint fulltime until he gave up a lucrative photography business in middle age. He currently shows at the Catto Gallery, London and the Campden Gallery, Chipping Campden. He has also had one-man shows in Amsterdam and the Hague.

AFTER DARKNESS LIGHT

JOHN HITCHENS

The Bir th of the Liverpool Annual Exhibitions, 1871-1876

Aspects of Landscape

By Caroline Collier

By Alex Kidson Original research on the Liverpool Autumn Exhibition that adopts a unique snapshot approach with a wide rage of images.

The first monograph of John Hitchens’ paintings and his other work created over the last five decades.

From 1877 the Autumn Exhibition was intertwined with that of Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery, but it was during its first six years of growth that its immense popularity was sealed. This new study anatomises six littleknown Victorian art exhibitions, and assembles images of the key, and representative, works that were seen and sold in them.

John Hitchens achieved early acclaim in the 1960s and 70s. His main subject and source of inspiration is the landscape of the British Isles, its hills and field patterns, woodland, sea, the night sky and forms of nature. This book traces the artist's journey from early descriptive paintings to increasingly abstract ways of interpreting landscape.

LAURA KNIGHT A Celebration

Lavishly illustrated book published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Laura Knight’s death.

Essays by leading experts on Laura Knight cover her early years, the flowering of her work in Cornwall before the First World War, through her portraiture to her later years in London and Malvern. Her 1930s designs for china and glass are included, as are her posters. There are powerful paintings of women working during the Second World War, and her deeply affecting painting of the Dock at the Nuremburg War Trials. Her work on ballet, theatre and circus subjects are at the heart of the book, stressing her passion for back-stage life and her deep respect for performers.

DAPHNE MCCLURE A Cornish Perspective

THE LIKENESS IS IN THE LOOKING

By Sarah Brittain-Mansbridge

Collected Writings of Patrick George

First monograph on this prolific Cornish artist, drawing on the rich artistic heritage of Cornwall whist maintaining a unique and contemporary perspective.

An insight into the ideas and methods of painting both from the landscape and likeness (portrait painting) by a highly respected artist.

A Cornish Perspective takes an in-depth look at the life of Daphne McClure, from her early childhood, through to raising a family and the impact that Cornwall has had on her career as an artist. Her love for the coastline, moorland and fields of Cornwall has been fundamental to her desire to paint. Cornwall has always provided the inspiration behind her most quintessential work. She was invited by Tate St Ives to design a piece of work for their inaugural exhibition.

This book of collected writings by Patrick George, artist and Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School includes his private thoughts on painting from the landscape, his ideas for teaching the course which he ran for many years at the Slade, why and what to teach and how it related to contemporary art and to the history of art. It includes extracts from his notebooks – which he used for more than 70 years to record his thoughts on the ‘whole business’ of painting and drawing.

CRAIGIE AITCHISON and The Beaux Arts Generation

By Susan Campbell For the first time, this book tells the story of Craigie Aitchison’s role amongst the figurative painters of post-war London.

Along with Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff and Euan Uglow, Aitchison belonged to ‘the Beaux Arts generation’: a set of highly talented painters first shown at the Beaux Arts Gallery by Helen Lessore. Under her discerning gaze, the early careers of these five artists were launched. This book includes three definitive texts by Aitchison, Andrews and Auerbach. First published in 1959 and 1960, these short essays provide a cogent insight into the three artists’ thinking. The book also comprises a fully-illustrated catalogue of forty-eight works. Many works are drawn from private collections and have not previously been published.

MEDIEVAL BOLOGNA Art for a University City

Edited by Trinita Kennedy This lavishly illustrated catalogue is the first major study in English about manuscript illumination, painting, and sculpture in Bologna, Italy.

By focusing on Bologna, this publication aims to expand our understanding of art and its purposes in the medieval world. The seven essays in this publication create a rich context for the nearly seventy works of art in the exhibition, which are drawn primarily from American libraries, museums, and private collections. Many of these works have never been studied in depth or published before. The authors explore medieval Bologna – its porticoed streets, towers, communal buildings, main piazza, and mendicant churches – and how the city became a center for higher learning at the end of the Middle Ages.

SOUTINE / DE KOONING A Meeting of Minds

Edited by Simonetta Fraquelli and Claire Bernardi How much of de Kooning’s (1904–1997) approach was due to the influence of Soutine (1893–1943)? This exhibition catalogue examines this question and dramatically juxtaposes the two artists.

This book accompanies an exhibition organised by the Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris, and The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, dedicated to the affinities between the work of Chaim Soutine and Willem de Kooning. The exhibition and accompanying publication will show how the work of Soutine had a decisive influence on the development of de Kooning’s art, especially following Soutine’s posthumous retrospective held at The Museum of Modern Art in 1950. In 1977 de Kooning emphatically declared: “I think I would choose Soutine [as my favourite artist] ... I’ve always been crazy about Soutine – all of his paintings”.

GIORGIO VASARI, MICHELANGELO AND THE ALLEGORY OF PATIENCE

By Carlo Falcioni Recounts the exciting rediscovery of Giorgio Vasari’s painting Allegory of Patience, painted in 1551–52 for the Bishop of Arezzo.

The painting was conceived in Rome with the aid of Michelangelo, as many surviving letters reveal. The painting quickly became famous in its time and numerous copies were made of it – but not until now has the original emerged. Thanks to letters between those involved, the painting and the process of its creation are richly documented and provide insights and quotations about picture-making from Michelangelo. The book carries full documentation of the work and its known copies, some of which can be traced to leading patrons in Renaissance Italy. It also examines Vasari’s own autograph technique and artistic aims.

EARLY COLOUR PRINTING

DIVINE PEOPLE

German Renaissance Woodcuts at the British Museum

The Art and Life of Ambrose McEvoy (1877–1927)

By Elizabeth Savage

By Eric Akers-Douglas and Edited by Lawrence Hendra

This richly illustrated publication reproduces and describes effectively every early modern German colour print held at the British Museum.

This first major written study of McEvoy’s life and work places the artist into the canon of 20th-century British art.

Ambrose McEvoy was one of the most modern and daring English society portrait painters of the early 20th century. His quick, confident style of painting drew the attention of many leading society figures, from Winston Churchill to Lady Diana Cooper. Despite his success, when McEvoy died unexpectedly at the peak of his career in 1927, his name was soon forgotten.

From one of the world’s most significant collections of these rare milestones of cultural heritage and technology. New photography reveals 150 impressions in jaw-dropping detail, most life-size. It is the first major study of the first wave of German colour printing. The book spans medieval printing in the late 1400s through the Renaissance and Reformation of the 1500s.

ELIJAH PIERCE'S AMERICA

PORTRAYING PREGNANCY

Edited by Nancy Ireson and Zoé Whitley

From Holbein to Social Media

By Karen Hearn This publication seeks to revisit the art of Elijah Pierce and see it in its own right.

Extensively illustrated with portraits, drawings, miniatures, prints, photographs, sculpture, textiles and objects.

Elijah Pierce was born the youngest son of a former slave on a Mississippi farm. Pierce became known for his wood carvings nationally and then internationally for the first time in the 1970s. Through his carvings Pierce told his own life story and chronicled the African-American experience, and became known primarily in circles promoting ‘naive’ art.

Comprising material from the 15th century through to the present day, Portraying Pregnancy accompanies an exhibition at the Foundling Museum, which is the first ever to focus on portraits of pregnant women in British art, and interrogates how the social mores and preoccupations of different periods have impacted the ways in which pregnant women have been depicted.

GUSTAVE MOREAU The Fables

By Juliet Carey Accompanies an exhibition of some of the most extraordinary works by Gustave Moreau, unseen in public for over a century.

Gustave Moreau (1826–1898) is one of the most brilliant and enigmatic artists associated with the French Symbolist movement. Moreau’s watercolours of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) were created between 1879 and 1885. There were originally 64 works in the series, which was subsequently acquired by Miriam Alexandrine de Rothschild (1884—1965), but nearly half were lost during the Nazi era. The surviving works have not been exhibited since 1906 and they have only ever been published in black and white. This book is the first to reproduce them in colour – many shown actual size.

TOKENS OF LOVE, LOSS AND DISRESPECT 1700–1850

THE SPLENDOR OF GERMANY Eighteenth-Century Drawings from the Crocker Art Museum

Edited by Sarah Lloyd

By William Breazeale and Anke Fröhlich-Schauseil This book draws attention to the value of defaced coins as a distinctive source of historical evidence.

Examines the major developments in German draughtsmanship over the course of the eighteenth-century.

Drawing on the largest extant collection of defaced coins and tokens, this publication brings together for the first time the fullrange of expertise required to understand the phenomenon, with contributions from 11 scholars and collectors. It focuses on a significant period in British history, when modification expressed political commentary, commercial activity, familial and emotional commitment, personal identity and life history.

This catalogue gathers together a variety of dynamic and sensitive portraits, charming scenes of daily life, and often humorous moralising subjects, as well as narratives, both religious and mythological, from the late Baroque to Neoclassicism. The Splendor of Germany features artists such as Johann Wolfgang Baumgartner, Anton Raphael Mengs and Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein.

HANS HOFMANN: FURY Painting after the War

By David Anfam This striking publication presents works by artist Hans Hofmann, produced at the end of the Second World War and immediately afterwards.

Accompanying an exhibition at BASTIAN, London, the works presented in this book span from 1942 to 1946. Renowned as both an artist and teacher, Hofmann’s angular abstractions personify the insecurities of the period, but this was also the moment that he moved towards the soft ambiguous forms and gesture that would become the hallmark of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Whilst demonstrating Hofmann’s development towards abstraction, the paintings still reveal an identifiably representational quality which nod to his figurative beginnings; linear paintings such as The Virgin (1946) particularly emphasise this artistic trajectory.

TRUE TO NATURE

KEEPING IN THE PRESENT

Open-Air Painting in Europe 1780–1870

300 Years of the Dresden KupferstichKabinett

Edited by Ger Luijten, Mary Morton and Jane Munro

Edited by Petra Kuhlmann-Hodick, Stephanie Buck and Gudula Metze This book has been published to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett in 2020.

This lavish catalogue presents sketches made en plein air between the end of the eighteenth century and late nineteenth century.

This catalogue is organised thematically, reviewing, as contemporary artists did, motifs such as trees, rocks, water, volcanoes, and sky effects, and favourite topgraphical locations, such as Rome and Capri. The catalogue presents numerous unpublished plein air sketches, and contains original scholarship on this relatively young field of art history.

The anniversary gives reason to air many masterpieces of the collection, and offers the opportunity to look into both the past and into the future, and to anchor the KupferstichKabinett with its seemingly inexhaustible holdings as a lively, innovative and democratic place in the public consciousness – as a place where creativity and knowledge, critical thinking and aesthetic pleasure can be experienced.

CARAVAGGIO’S CARDSHARPS ON TRIAL

SANCTUARY

Thwaytes v. Sotheby’s

By Richard Spear

Edited by Paul Liss and essay by Christopher Woodward

Vividly written and handsomely illustrated, this is an account of Thwaytes v. Sotheby’s by an eminent art historian.

This publication concerns aspects of the garden as seen through the eyes of 35 20th-century British artists.

Known as one of the major art trials of recent times, this book will be of interest to dealers, conservators and lawyers as well as all admirers of Caravaggio. The case came to trial at the High Court in London in 2014 and the verdict had far-reaching implications for the art community.

Between the two world wars there were an exceptional number of artists who gardened, taking their activities as plantsmen and plantswomen as seriously as they took their art. Charles Mahoney shared his unbridled enthusiasm for plants with Edward Bawden, Geoffrey Rhoades, John Nash and Evelyn Dunbar who swapped cuttings with each other by post.

PHYLLIS DODD (1899-1995)/ DOUGLAS PERCY BLISS (19001984)

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST

By Paul Liss

By Paul Liss and Edited by Sacha Llewellyn The work of the artists Phyllis Dodd and her husband Douglas Percy Bliss.

A large selection of works which reflect the life of British artists of the first half of the 20th century.

Phyllis Dodd was born in Chester and studied at the Liverpool School of Art 1917-21. After winning a Royal Exhibition scholarship she spent a further four years at the RCA in the company of her life-long friends Henry Moore, Raymond Coxon and Edna Ginesi. Douglas Percy Bliss was a Scottish painter and art conservationist.

Born in Karachi, India, Bliss left school in 1917 to join the Highland Light Infantry until the end of WW1. After the war he was appointed Director of the Glasgow School of Art.

This publication examines how artists portray themselves in self-portraits and how they portray their fellow artists. The artist’s studio, models and milieu (friends, family etc.) are also considered. Portrait of An Artist is the result of twenty years of collecting and brings together a remarkable group of works which, large or small, minor or major all have in common one quality – the ability to transport the viewer momentarily into the artist’s milieu.

THE PATH TO PARADISE Judith Schaechter's Stained-Glass Art

By Judith Marten, Glenn Adamson, Virginia Chieffo Raguin and Diane C. Wright The first monograph on the stained glass work of groundbreaking artist Judith Schaechter.

Judith Schaechter (b. 1961) has stretched the medium of stained glass into a potent and incisive art form for the 21st century, boldly paving her path in the diverse arena of contemporary art. Her awards include two NEA Visual Artists’ Fellowships, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship Award, a USA Artists Rockefeller Fellow, and an American Craft Council College of Fellows Award. With deep respect for history, a provocative rebelliousness, and a feminist sensibility, Schaechter has aptly been called a “post-punk stained-glass sorceress”.

By Kim Cunningham Colourful collection of over 70 prints created by artist Kim Cunningham throughout her decades in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire, USA.

A lavish catalogue that presents an extraordinary collection of diamonds from the king of gems, Benjamin Zucker.

Benjamin Zucker’s remarkable story unfolds over three generations of diamond dealers.

Armed with the family “know-how”, Benjamin Zucker formed a collection that “has taken a lifetime of patience, money, and unquenchable enthusiasm”, according to Diana Scarisbrick. As Mr. Zucker himself says “diamonds will always be a magical window facing the invisible world.”

This wide-ranging exploration of the block print medium includes everything from images of familiar landscapes and local wildlife to more abstract collages celebrating the beauty of trees. Background information on Cunningham’s influences and technique are included, and her haiku poems accompany two series of prints.

Expansive, original and illuminating, this book leads readers on a journey through artistic and provincial history, interweaving the lives of residents and visitors. It paints a vivid picture of the influence of place on the cultural imagination. Author Simon Gregg reveals how artists have grappled with a region that is in equal measures beautiful and brutal and has been the stage for many of the key battles in Australian art history.

9781925984606, Paperback 152 x 229mm, 188 pages May 2020, £25.00, Arden

In the early 20th century, modernism was challenging to all artists but Leason saw modernism as a threat to the very survival of Art. To counteract the subjective validation of any practice being accepted as Art, he constructed an objective approach. This is the core of his treatise the Theory of Perceptual Art.

GARETH NYANDORO

By Gareth Nyandoro, with an introduction by Adélaïde Blanc, an essay by Sean O’Toole and ewdited

by Maria Varnava and Eva Langret First monograph on Harare-based Gareth Nyandoro – a leading Zimbabwean artist – documenting international exhibitions of his mixed-media drawings and installations.

Gareth Nyandoro is noted for his large works on paper, which often spill out of their twodimensional format and into installations that include paper scraps and objects found in the street markets of Harare, where he lives and works. The artist’s primary source of inspiration is the rapidly changing urban and cultural panorama of Zimbabwe. Inspired by his training as a printmaker, and derived from etching, the artist’s distinctive technique, 'Kucheka-cheka', is named after the infinitive and present tense declinations of the Shona verb 'cheka', which means 'to cut'. This, the artist’s first monograph, documents selected bodies of work created since 2015 and presented in exhibitions at venues including the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Quetzal Art Centre, Portugal, Tiwani Contemporary, London, Modern Art Oxford, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam.

THE REREDOS OF ALL SOULS COLLEGE OXFORD Edited by Peregrine Horden Provides a novel and revealing vantage point on the artistic, cultural and ecclesiological history of Britain across four centuries.

Pevsner calls it ‘marvellous’. Yet the reredos of the fifteenth-century chapel of All Souls College, Oxford, with its combination of medieval niches and statuary by George Gilbert Scott, has remained one of the unsung glories of both medieval perpendicular architecture and Victorian restoration. Informed by recent scientific investigation of its stonework and its surviving medieval polychromy, this volume traces for the first time the entire history of the reredos in its architectural and religious context – from the phases of its medieval and early Tudor construction, through its covering up with a succession of baroque and neoclassical decorative schemes, to its uncovering and restoration in the 1870s.

LEAPING THE DRAGON GATE

MANET TO BRACQUEMOND

The Sir Michael Butler Collection of 17thCentury Chinese Porcelain

Newly Discovered Letters to an Artist and Friend

By Teresa Canepa and Katharine Butler Celebrates the most important collection of 17th-century Chinese porcelain in the world, assembled by the distinguished British diplomat Sir Michael Butler.

By Jean-Paul Bouillon Laconic in form as most of the letters are, this correspondence will prove to be an important source for our knowledge of Manet’s life and dealings.

Sir Michael's passion for porcelain is clearly reflected in the over eight hundred pieces he collected and lived with at his home and private museum in Dorset. The pots (as Sir Michael called them), many of extreme rarity or exquisite quality, give testimony to the incredible depth of knowledge he acquired over five decades and his outstanding contribution to research and education in this previously neglected field of study.

This new edition publishes the letters adressed by Édouard Manet (1832–1883) to his friend, the artist Félix Bracquemond (1833–1914). The correspondence is edited here for the first time by Jean-Paul Bouillon, who situates letters accurately and discusses their contents in the context of both the artist’s careers. The letters are presented in their original French, accompanied by meticulous comments on their dating and subject matter

Creativity was once the preserve of mad geniuses, troubled souls and avant-garde eccentrics. Today we all have to be creative, a trait we expect to find thriving in and around us. Why? Because creativity is now the solution to every problem, large or small. But, if we all rely on the same idea, who can claim to be especially creative?

DEAD OR ALIVE

GREAT CRITICS OF ART

Edited by Maria Fabricius Hansen, Rosanna Tindbæk and Gundhild Ravn Borggreen

From the Enlightenment to Postmodernity

Scholars of art history and visual culture ask the question, what do images do to us?

Provides an updated reassessment of the greatest art critics from the Enlightenment to the turn of the second millennium.

By Jesús Pedro Lorente

The image is an ontological paradox; it is made of dead matter, yet simultaneously appears to be alive. For millennia, artists have created images of the living world – images that are static and yet possess the power to bring to life a frozen moment in time. This book addresses the perpetual relevance of images' enigmatic lifelikeness by presenting a selection of articles on a variety of visual material and asking the question: what qualifies animation? It covers a wide range of image practices throughout history, from Palaeolithic stone engravings to modern fashion.

Conceived as a didactic handbook, with recommended bibliography at the end of each chapter, this concise essay tells the history of a profession in permanent crisis and, following on the footsteps of Lionello Venturi’s History of Art Criticism, pays homage to its most influential practitioners in different cultural contexts.

CELTIC ART IN EUROPE

ART IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMAGINATION

Making Connections Edited by Chris Gosden, Sally Crawford and Katharina Ulmschneider This volume of 37 papers brings together a group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies.

Edited by Dragos Gheorghiu

It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to understand Celtic art and argue for novel approaches in discussions spanning the whole of Continental Europe and the British Isles.

This volume reveals the poetics of the archaeological imagination. It shows that, in their work, archaeologists, without being inspired by contemporary artists, use creative methods, and their analysis of the art of the Past goes beyond the material culture of the art objects, into the realm of the mental processes of creation.

Medieval Art from Europe

From 14th to 16th Centuries

By Jada Gajdošová and Matthew Reeves

By Alberto Velasco González

This publication brings together 27 works of art made across western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries.

Sheds light on a group of twenty fascinating paintings from private collections that were made across the Spanish kingdoms.

These works represent some of the finest examples of sculpture, metalwork, painting and stained glass still in private hands, and together offer a startling insight into the period’s rich artistic achievements.

The paintings featured in this book together tell the story of the region’s incredible creative flowering during the period. In an extended introductory essay and each of the subsequent case studies, Velasco explores the imagery, function, and significance of these paintings and places them within the broader cultural and historical context in which they were created.

MAGNETIC WOMAN

A Life of Ideas

Toyen and the Surrealist Erotic

By Lary Bloom

By Karla Huebner

This book brings new information to our understanding of this important artist, linking the extraordinary arc of his life to his iconic work.

Part art book and part biography, Magnetic Woman examines the life and work of the artist Toyen.

One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, and a key figure in minimalism and conceptualism, proclaimed that the work of the mind is much more important than that of the hand. Lary Bloom's book draws on personal recollections of LeWitt, whom he knew in the last years of the artist's life, as well as LeWitt's letters and papers and over one hundred original interviews with his friends and colleagues, including Chuck Close, Ingrid Sischy, Philip Glass, Adrian Piper, Jan Dibbets, and Carl Andre.

Using primary sources gathered from disparate disciplines and studies of the artist’s own work, Magnetic Woman is organised both chronologically and thematically, moving through Toyen’s career with attention to specific historical circumstances and intellectual developments approximately as they entered her life. Karla Huebner offers a re-evaluation of surrealism, the Central European contribution to modernism, and the role of female artists.

NEOLIBERALISM ON THE GROUND

RACE AND MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Architecture and Transformation from the 1960s to the Present

A Critical History from the Enlightenment to the Present

Edited by Kenny Cupers, Catharina Gabrielsson and Helen Mattsson How architecture has articulated changing relationships between state, society, and economy since the 1960s.

Edited by Irene Cheng, Charles L. Davis and Mabel O. Wilson Shines a spotlight on constructions of race and their impact on architecture and theory in Europe and North America.

Rather than ask what a neoliberal architecture looks like, or how architecture represents neoliberalism, this volume examines the multivalent role of architecture and urbanism in geographically variable yet interconnected processes of neoliberal transformation across scales — from China, Turkey, South Africa, the US, Britain, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia.

Challenging us to write race back into architectural history, contributors confront how racial thinking has intimately shaped some of the key concepts of modern architecture and culture over time, including freedom, revolution, character, national and indigenous style, progress, hybridity, climate, representation, and radicalism.

ARCHITECTURE OF GOOD BEHAVIOR

FABER'S HUB: D.E.SY Design-Oriented Strategies for Studios and House Museums

Psychology and Modern Institutional Design in Postwar America.

Edited by Anna Mazzanti, Alessandra Spagnoli and Rita Capurro

By Joy Knoblauch

Presents the results of interdisciplinary research on museum studies and design applied to cultural heritage.

Looks at psychological functionalism as a political tool.

Inspired by the rise of environmental psychology after WWII, new initiatives at the federal, state, and local levels looked to influence the human psyche through form. Recruited by federal construction and research programs for institutional reform and expansion, architects theorised new ways to control behaviour and make it more functional by exercising soft power, or power through persuasion, with their designs.

The last few years have seen a growing interest in the conservation and enhancement of the working and living spaces of the faber: artists, designers and architects. They include both museums and private places that are waiting to fulfil their full potential. This volume proposes a reflection on design-oriented strategies and practices for the enhancement and use of these places.

GENDER (&) DESIGN

DESIGN IS POWER

Positions on Gendering in Design Cultures

The Dark Side of Design

Edited by Tom Bieling

By Francesco Galli

Examines why design is decisively involved in the cultural production and distribution of related images and interpretations of gender.

All design production should be driven by a careful and controlled balance of economic, political and social interests.

We are used to thinking about design in terms of quality and beauty of the tangible, or intangible objects that are generated for an industrialised system. When considering objects, graphic representations, interfaces or services, the main difference between craftsmanship and design lies in the replicability and scalability when measured against the market and its hierarchical dynamics. This book argues that all design production should be driven by a careful and controlled balance of economic, political and social interests.

The contributions collected in this anthology enter into an interdisciplinary dialogue on the design of gender, and provide theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding the social, cultural and political functions of design.

Greenland after Rockwell Kent

Rediscovering the Landscapes of John James Audubon

By Denis Defibaugh

By Krista Elrick and with Gregory Nobles and Mary Anne Redding

An innovative documentary project inspired by author and photographer Rockwell Kent’s visit to Greenland in the 1930s.

The first artist to retrace the steps and revisit the landscapes of John James Audubon.

North by Nuuk is an intimate, contemporary look at the people and the social and primal geographic landscapes of Greenland. The innovative documentary project, supported by a National Science Foundation award, weaves Defibaugh’s stunning photographs through past and present daily life while linking Greenlanders with their pristine and revered landscape.

Elrick discovered that Audubon himself was something of an enigma, a fabulist who told enchanting yet often conflicting stories about his own history and identity and what he saw in the field. Elrick’s book offers us a fascinating compendium that gives us a fresh and provocative perspective on Audubon — the man and the artist — his times and enduring legacy.

This book is meant to honor the memory of those twenty-two beautiful, innocent beings who lost their lives in El Paso on that summer day and to help heal not only the twenty-seven others who were injured, but the countless others in the world who suffer and have suffered from hate in whatever form it takes.

MODESTY

The Making of an Australian Style

By Hafsa Lodi

A Fashion Paradox

By Sally Gray Famed shoe designer Manolo Blahnik once claimed that Australia in the 1970s was ‘the most creative place in the world’.

Features interviews with high profile models, business women and academics including: Mariah Idrissi, Halima Arden, Malanie Elturk, Dian Pelangi and Faiza Bouguessa.

Blahnik was referring to the fashion and art worlds created by the principal characters in this book, first in Melbourne and then in Sydney, in the 1970s-90s. Four friends in particular are at the heart of this book: fashion designers Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson and artists Peter Tully and David McDiarmid.

This book speaks to the various personalities and companies who have helped shape the modest fashion industry, while also exploring the controversies that lie at the heart of the movement, such as one pressing question: even if it covers the skin but is flamboyant, modeled with the purpose of attracting attention, and publicly promoted on social media, can fashion truly be modest?
