Classical, Byzantium and Medieval Approaches to Byzantine Architecture and its Decoration
Between Constantinople and Rome
Byzantine Images and their Afterlives
Studies in Honor of Slobodan Curcic
An Illuminated Byzantine Gospel Book (Paris gr. 54) and the Union of Churches
Essays in Honor of Annemarie Weyl Carr
Edited by Mark J. Johnson, Brigham Young University, USA, Robert Ousterhout, University of Pennsylvania, USA and Amy Papalexandrou, University of Texas at Austin, USA
Kathleen Maxwell ‘...Her keen visual analysis of the processes of Paris 54’s production and the codex from which its miniatures were copied is matched here by a comparably detailed analysis of its Greek Gospel text and the manuscript from which it was copied. Her demonstration that Paris 54’s text has a genealogy as independent and revealing as its codicology and illumination is a signal achievement, and it opens a challenging new chapter in the study of illuminated books.’
‘… the editors have done an admirable job in pulling together from disparate sources a coherent collection of essays that provides much food for thought. Beyond the specific issues dealt with in each contribution, the book is a valuable overview of many current and traditional methodological approaches…’ Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Annemarie Weyl Carr, Southern Methodist University, USA
Includes 109 b&w illustrations January 2012 Hardback
330 pages 978-1-4094-2740-7 £70.00
This is a study of the artistic and political context that led to the production of Bibliothèque Nationale de France, codex grec 54, one of the most ambitious and complex manuscripts of the Byzantine era. Kathleen Maxwell’s multi-disciplinary approach includes codicological and paleographical evidence together with New Testament textual criticism, artistic and historical analysis. She concludes that Paris 54 was designed to eclipse its contemporaries and to physically embody a new relationship between Constantinople and the Latin West.

This volume synthesizes the work of a distinguished international group of scholars. It takes a broad view of architecture, to include cities, routes and ritual topographies, as well as specific buildings and shrines, and considers how these were perceived, represented and remembered. The essays explore both the ways in which the physical embodiment of pilgrimage cultures is shared, and what we can learn from the differences.
Byzantine Art and Renaissance Europe Edited by Angeliki Lymberopoulou, Open University, UK and Rembrandt Duits, The Warburg Institute, University of London, UK

Byzantine Art and Renaissance Europe discusses the cultural and artistic interaction between the Byzantine East and Western Europe, from the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204 to the flourishing of post-Byzantine artistic workshops on Venetian Crete during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the formation of icon collections in Renaissance Italy. The contributors examine the routes by which artistic interaction may have taken place, and explore the reception of Byzantine art in western Europe, analysing why artists and patrons were interested in ideas from the other side of the cultural and religious divide. The book offers new perspectives and insights and re-positions late- and post- Byzantine art in a broader European cultural context.

The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture With a Critical Edition of ‘O Vernicle’ Edited by Lisa H. Cooper, University of WisconsinMadison, USA and Andrea Denny-Brown, University of California-Riverside, USA
Includes 16 colour, 45 b&w illustrations, and 5 maps March 2013 Hardback
This book explores the multiple resonances and representations of the Arma Christi, the “instruments of the Passion,” in medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architecture. The verbal and visual representations that accrued from these holiest of relics, and the practices they in turn inspired, are relevant to a wide variety of critical fields and theoretical approaches. This collection capitalizes on recent work on these most central of medieval “objects,” and produces, through its interdisciplinary and intergenerational scholarly collaboration, a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages. It also includes a new edition of the English Arma Christi poem known as “O Vernicle” from previously unpublished manuscripts.

Edited by Lynn Jones, Florida State University, USA The twelve papers written for this volume reflect the wide scope of Annemarie Weyl Carr’s interests and the equally wide impact of her career. They are linked by Carr’s expansive body of work, which ties together issues of patronage, production and influence across the medieval Mediterranean. The volume examines influences in manuscript production and reception, imperial patronage, relics and reliquaries, form and style in Cypriot architecture and icons, and the relationship between original and copy in medieval art.

The Celebration of the Saints in Byzantine Art and Liturgy Nancy Patterson Ševčenko Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS975
The studies in this volume all deal with images and texts that relate to the veneration of the saints in Byzantium after the 9th century. Some papers are devoted to the church calendar and the annual commemorations of hundreds of saints through liturgical poetry and sequences of isolated images in fresco, icon painting and illuminated manuscripts. Others are concerned with the longer and rarer, narrative cycles devoted to the life of a single saint, cycles found mainly in fresco and on the so-called vita icons that first appear in the East in the late 12th century. Additional studies deal with the developing role of icons in liturgical ceremonies, and with images of a saint being approached by a supplicant or patron. A final section is devoted to places made holy by the saints, and to their holy relics. Includes 190 b&w illustrations January 2013 Hardback

Classical, Byzantium and Medieval Iconoclasm from Antiquity to Modernity
Imagining the Human Condition in Medieval Rome
The Meanings of Nudity in Medieval Art
Edited by Marina Prusac, University of Oslo, Norway and Kristine Kolrud, Stockholm University, Sweden
The Cistercian fresco cycle at Abbazia delle Tre Fontane
Edited by Sherry C.M. Lindquist
The phenomenon of iconoclasm, expressed through hostile actions towards images, has occurred in many different cultures throughout history. The destruction and mutilation of images is often motivated by a blend of political and religious ideas and beliefs, and the distinction between various kinds of ‘iconoclasms’ is not absolute. In order to explore further the long and varied history of iconoclasm the contributors to this volume consider iconoclastic reactions to various types of objects, both in the very recent and distant past. Whilst the texts are addressed primarily to those researching the Western world, the volume contains material which will also be of interest to students of the Middle East.

The first monograph on the Vita Humana cycle at Tre Fontane, this book includes an overview of the medieval history of the Roman Cistercian abbey and its architecture, as well as a consideration of the political and cultural standing of the abbey both within Papal Rome and within the Cistercian order. It considers the commission of the fresco cycle, the circumstances of its making and its position within the art historical context of the Roman Duecento. Examining the unusual blend of images in the Vita Humana cycle, this study offers a more nuanced picture of the iconographic repertoire of medieval art. November 2012 Hardback

Icons in Time, Persons in Eternity
The Islamic Villa in Early Medieval Iberia
Orthodox Theology and the Aesthetics of the Christian Image
Architecture and Court Culture in Umayyad Córdoba
Cornelia A. Tsakiridou, La Salle University, USA
Glaire D. Anderson, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
Andrew Louth, Durham University, UK Icons in Time, Persons in Eternity presents a critical, interdisciplinary examination of contemporary theological and philosophical studies of the Christian image and redefines this within the Orthodox tradition by exploring the ontological and aesthetic implications of Byzantine Orthodox ascetic and mystical theology. It finds Modernist interest in the aesthetic peculiarity of icons significant, and essential for re-evaluating their relationship to nonrepresentational art. The reader will find in these pages reasons to reconcile Modernism with the Christian image and Orthodox tradition with creative form in art.

‘In this learned and profound work, Tsakiridou returns again to the challenge of modernism to religious art and, drawing on the concept of enargeia, vividness, and the Byzantine theology of the divine light, develops an understanding of the icon as drawing the beholder into the experience of deification. Bold and original.’
‘...a comprehensive and comprehensible overview of the historiography of medieval art, carefully developing the argument for a wider understanding of nudity in this period that encompasses an interdisciplinary approach. Each contributor builds a convincing case for Lindquist’s claim, presenting varied topics and using interdisciplinary approaches like gender studies, literary studies, and the medieval body. The result is a collection of careful and nuanced analyses of selected medieval nude case studies.’

‘The editors are to be commended for their excellent introductory essay which clearly articulates a coherent vision for the volume as a whole.’ Sehepunkte Focusing on France but incorporating studies from further afield, this collection of essays marks an important new contribution to the study of medieval memory and commemoration. Arranged thematically, each part highlights how memory cannot be studied in isolation, but instead intersects with many other areas of medieval scholarship, including art history, historiography, intellectual history, and the study of religious culture. Key themes in the study of memory are explored, such as collective memory, the links between memory and identity, the fallibility of memory, and the linking of memory to the future, as an anticipation of what is to come.

Her integrated interpretation considers not only Reims but also related monuments from throughout the Christian West.

Essays on Medieval Fonts, Settings and Beliefs Edited by Harriet M. Sonne de Torrens and Miguel A.

Previous scholarship about baptismal fonts has often focused on the purely stylistic, iconographical and liturgical perspectives, using primarily ecclesiastical and liturgical documentation. This book shows the wealth of new information that baptismal fonts can offer when scholars adopt interdisciplinary approaches and engage in readings that question traditional assumptions inherited in scholarship.

The Visual Culture of Baptism in the Middle Ages
Spolia and Appropriation in Art and Architecture from Constantine to Sherrie Levine
‘The area of medieval women’s literacy, patronage, and engagement with books and visual culture more broadly is one that warrants continued expansion, and Joni M. Hand’s book undoubtedly makes an important contribution to this field. Furthermore, it also stands as a worthy model of scholarly work that straddles medieval and Renaissance or Early Modern studies. Especially in art history, these fields remain surprisingly and unfortunately distanced from one another, and projects like this one are key to alleviating this gap.’ Sehepunkte Author Joni M. Hand sheds light on the reasons women of the Valois courts from the mid-fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth century commissioned devotional manuscripts. Visually interpreting the non-text elements - portraits, coats of arms, and marginalia – as well as the texts, Hand explores how the manuscripts were used to express the women’s religious, political, and/or genealogical concerns. This study is arranged thematically according to the method in which the owner is represented.

By juxtaposing objects and places usually considered in isolation, provocative questions are raised about our understandings of cross-cultural differences and the value of representational objects.

Publications of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies
Experiencing Byzantium
Series editor: Rowena Loverance, Chair, Publications Committee
From the reception of imperial ekphraseis in Hagia Sophia to the sounds and smells of the back streets of Constantinople, the sensory perception of Byzantium is an area that lends itself perfectly to an investigation into the experience of the Byzantine world. The theme of experience embraces all aspects of Byzantine studies and the Experiencing Byzantium symposium brought together archaeologists, architects, art historians, historians, musicians and theologians in a common quest to step across the line that divides how we understand and experience the Byzantine world and how the Byzantines themselves perceived the sensual aspects of their empire and also their faith, spirituality, identity and the nature of ‘being’ in Byzantium. Experiencing Byzantium is volume 18 in the series published by Ashgate on behalf of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies.
The 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies in 2010 drew together historians, art historians, and scholars of literature, religion and philosophy, who discussed shared and discipline-specific approaches to the theme of subversion. The present volume presents a selection of the papers delivered at the symposium enriched with specially commissioned contributions. Most papers deal with the period after the eleventh century, although early Byzantium is not ignored. Theoretical questions about the nature, articulation and limits of subversion are addressed within the frameworks of individual disciplines and in a larger context. The volume comes at a timely junction in the development of Byzantine studies, as interest in subversion and nonconformity in general has been rising steadily in the field.

Wonderful Things: Byzantium through its Art Papers from the 42nd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, London, 20-22 March 2009 Edited by Antony Eastmond, Courtauld Institute of Art, UK and Liz James, University of Sussex, UK The essays collected in this book were delivered at the XLII Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held in London in 2009 to accompany the exhibition Byzantium 330-1453, at the Royal Academy. The exhibition was one of the most ambitious and complex exhibitions ever mounted at the Royal Academy, as well as one of the most popular, and the overall aim of the book is to reflect on the exhibition of Byzantine art, both as an academic and popular exercise, and through the choice and discussion of individual objects.

Early Modern and Renaissance Animals and Early Modern Identity
Art as Politics in Late Medieval and Renaissance Siena
Edited by Pia F. Cuneo, University of Arizona, USA
Edited by Timothy B. Smith, Birmingham-Southern College, USA and Judith B. Steinhoff, University of Houston, USA
‘...provides a wealth of new work in early modern animal studies, ranging across Europe and into the non-European world of exploration and colonial encounters and in the process engaging such varied topics as pedagogy, animal husbandry, the visual arts, trade and travel, court culture, philosophy, and sport… Should attract the attention of a wide scholarly audience interested in the early modern period and its various appropriations of animals and animality.’ Bruce Boehrer, Florida State University, USA What roles did animals play in the construction of early modern identities? In this volume, international scholars working in the disciplines of history, art history and literature provide suggestive and probing answers. Their essays investigate how animals – horses, dogs, pigs, fish, cattle, sheep, birds, rhinoceroses, even sea-monsters and other creatures – served people in Europe, England, the Americas and Africa to defend, contest or transcend the boundaries of early modern identities.
‘… valuable for expanding, or perhaps even changing, the lens through which Sienese art is viewed.’ CAA Reviews Clearly establishing uniquely Sienese artistic agendas and vocabulary, the essays collected here broaden our understanding of the intersection of art, politics and religion in Siena by revisiting its medieval origins and exploring its continuing role in the Renaissance. Engaging issues of the politicization of art in Sienese painting, sculpture, architecture and urban design, the volume challenges the still-prevalent myth of Siena’s cultural and artistic conservatism after the mid-fourteenth century.

The Art of Religion
The Ashgate Research Companion to Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe Edited by Allyson M. Poska, University of Mary Washington, USA, Jane Couchman, York University, Canada and Katherine A. McIver, University of Alabama, USA ‘This is an excellent introduction to a fast-moving field. Uniting theoretical and practical approaches, a series of essays ranges across the mind, body and spirit of women in early modern Europe, illuminating differences of culture, religion, age and status. It provides an essential handbook for researchers in the field and a wonderful introduction to the range of women’s experience.’ Laura Gowing, King’s College London, UK This Companion presents an authoritative review of the current research on women and gender in early modern Europe from a multidisciplinary perspective. The authors examine women’s lives, ideologies of gender and the differences between ideology and reality through the recent research across many disciplines, including history, literary studies, art history, musicology, history of science and medicine and religious studies.

Sforza Pallavicino and Art Theory in Bernini’s Rome
The Antonio II Badile Album of Drawings (c. 1500)
Maarten Delbeke, Ghent University, Belgium and University of Leiden, The Netherlands
The Origins of Collecting in Early Modern Northern Italy
‘… we owe a scholarly debt of gratitude to Delbeke for having undertaken with such success the herculean task of retrieving and analyzing the art theory of one of the most prominent intellectuals of Seicento Italy. This book will be an important point of reference for all future discussions of art theory in Bernini’s Rome.’ Renaissance Quarterly

John Beusterien, Texas Tech University, USA
Evelyn Karet, Clark University, USA Tracing the provenance of the earliest known album of drawings from its assemblage in the late 1530s to its dismantling in the 1950s, this book fills a critical gap in the study of northern Italian drawings and explores the historic tradition of collecting drawings and humanist collections in northern Italy before Vasari for which the album provides a new point of reference. The study includes a reconstruction of the original album and a page-by-page guide to its contents, providing insight into an overlooked subject.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Giorgio Vasari Edited by David J. Cast, Bryn Mawr College, USA
Architecture, Art and Identity in Venice and its Territories, 1450–1750 Essays in Honour of Deborah Howard Edited by Nebahat Avcioglu, Hunter College, CUNY, USA and Emma Jones, University of Cambridge, UK
‘David Cast ably introduces the multi-talented Vasari, fully setting the stage for the sixteen essays that follow analyzing individual biographies or Vasari’s account of a city’s artistic production...The span is comprehensive and yet comprised of specialized essays that primarily focus on Vasari as a writer, a choice that makes sense as the biographies are his major legacy. Like Cast, the essay writers are leading authorities in the field, making this an indispensable analysis of Vasari’s contribution.’ Sarah Blake McHam, Rutgers University, USA
‘Reflecting Deborah Howard’s own scholarly signature, this volume brings different fields of research – architecture, urban planning, landscape, art, music, politics, religion, society, and gender – into fruitful discussion. The essays collected here testify to the profound influence of Howard’s work on our understanding of architecture in Venice and its empire. Furthermore, they re-interrogate the complex issues that lie at the heart of her writings: interactions of power and culture, of arts and politics, of the transmission of ideas to and from Venice.’ Giorgio Gianighian, Università IUAV di Venezia, Italy Inspired by Deborah Howard’s leading role in fostering a historically grounded and interdisciplinary approach to the art and architecture of Venice, the essays here examine the connections and rapports between art and identity through the discussion of patronage, space (domestic and ecclesiastical), and dissemination of architectural knowledge as well as models within Venice, its territories and beyond.

Early Modern and Renaissance Dynastic Marriages 1612/1615 A Celebration of the Habsburg and Bourbon Unions Edited by Margaret M. McGowan, University of Sussex, UK
Fate, Glory, and Love in Early Modern Gallery Decoration
Jeremias Drexel’s ‘Christian Zodiac’
Visualizing Supreme Power
Seventeenth-Century Publishing Sensation. A Critical Edition, Translated and with an Introduction & Notes
Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf, Stockholm University, Sweden
European Festival Studies: 1450–1700
‘This collection of fourteen essays by scholars representing different disciplines illuminates brilliantly and uniquely the multi-faceted significance of dynastic marriages in early seventeenth-century Europe, especially France and Spain.’ Robert Knecht, University of Birmingham, UK The union of the two royal houses – the Habsburgs and the Bourbons – in the early seventeenth century illustrates the extent to which marriage was a tool of government in Renaissance Europe, and festivals a manifestation of power and cultural superiority. With contributions from scholars representing a range of disciplines, this volume provides an all-round view of the sequence of festivals and events surrounding the dynastic marriages which were agreed upon in 1612 but not celebrated until 1615 owing to the constant interruption of festivities by protestant uprisings.
‘…Significant and original … Lagerlof assembles here a group of monuments from France, Rome, and Stockholm, which allows for a synchronic interpretation and reading of significant issues of visuality and content across power regimes and the long time period of the Baroque style in Europe … it is the first comprehensive examination in the history of art of these galleries, and as such makes an important scholarly contribution from which others may draw further conclusions.’ Catherine M. Soussloff, University of British Columbia, Canada Analyzing the decorative programmes of the most opulent European palaces of the time, Margaretha Lagerlöf investigates how meaning was conveyed through display and visual effects. She explores the visual meaning inherent in the scheme of spatial relations; in effects of scale, perspective, lighting, figures’ positions and postures; and in relations among image types.

The Emblem in Early Modern Europe Contributions to the Theory of the Emblem Peter M. Daly, McGill University, Canada The emblem was big business in early-modern Europe, used extensively not only in printed books and broadsheets, but also to decorate pottery, metalware, furniture, glass and windows and numerous other domestic, devotional and political objects. At its most basic level simply a combination of symbolic visual image and texts, an emblem is a hybrid composed of words and picture. However, as this book demonstrates, understanding the precise and often multiple meaning, intention and message emblems conveyed can prove a remarkably slippery process.

Edited by Maia Wellington Gahtan, Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici (Marist-LdM), Italy
First published in 1622, Jeremias Drexel’s ‘Zodiacus christianus’ (or ‘Christian Zodiac’) was a remarkable work of religious iconography and spiritual self-help. Offering the first modern translation into English since the early seventeenth century, this critical edition re-acquaints Anglophone audiences with a sample of the spiritual and philosophical writings of a figure whose significant publication record made him a bestseller during his lifetime and for many decades afterwards. As well as addressing issues of spiritual iconography with relation to ‘signs of predestination’, the book also has much to say about authorship, publishing and the dissemination of ideas.

New Approaches to Naples c.1500–c.1800 The Power of Place Edited by Melissa Calaresu, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, UK and Helen Hills, University of York, UK Early modern Naples has been characterized as a marginal place on the fringes of the European world. In recent historiography it has often been regarded as a city bypassed by the Renaissance and an emblem of cultural and political decline. Yet, as this volume makes plain, Naples is a city that deserves serious study. Contributions illuminate the historiographical pressures that have marginalized Naples and showcase important new developments in Neapolitan cultural and art history.

H.L. Meakin, University of South Florida, USA
Reinventing Christian Painting after the Reformation in Utrecht
Prize: Awarded a Paul Mellon Centre Publication and Author Grant Classified as ‘Research Essential’ by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services Lady Anne Bacon Drury (1572-1624) devised dozens of panels comprised of pictures and Latin mottoes for the walls of her closet or study. The panels functioned as a ‘book’ of meditations to enable her – well-connected, wealthy, and well-educated as she was – to cope with the disappointments of her life. For the first time in 400 years, Meakin thoroughly investigates the personal, social, and intellectual contexts of Lady Drury’s closet.

Livio Pestilli, Trinity College, Rome Campus, Italy ‘Livio Pestilli has given us more than a monograph on the second of the two major Neapolitan painters who bridged the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that Paolo De Matteis was a figure of European stature who, like his contemporary Francesco Solimena, involved himself in every aspect of contemporary culture. Few art historians can match Pestilli’s knowledge of the literary scene, the international politics, the natural science and classical scholarship of the period. Pestilli manages to give full attention to De Matteis’ professional aspirations, to the subject matter of his paintings, to his pictorial technique and preparatory drawings, while also illuminating the complex historiographical legacy that has long obscured the artist’s reputation.’ Thomas Willette, University of Michigan, USA A long overdue re-assessment of the Neapolitan painter Paolo de Matteis, this volume examines the artist’s most significant works and shows how posterity’s impression of him has been conditioned by a biased biographical and literary tradition. More than just a novel approach to de Matteis, however, the book serves as a window into early eighteenth-century art and cultural history, not only in Naples but in Paris, Vienna, Genoa, and Rome.

‘This ambitious study deals with two of the most complex artists of the seventeenth century, who, moreover, represent two different artistic traditions. Habsburg myth making, the emblematic tradition, the mythographic tradition, and innumerable ancient texts are adduced by the authors to build a set of associative meanings around the mythological paintings created for the Torre de la Parada. The authors treat intention and reception with subtlety and deftness, and offer up a rich range of possible meanings for this intriguing pictorial ensemble.’ Giles Knox, Indiana University, USA Analyzing the decorative mythological imagery of the hunting lodge of King Philip IV of Spain, this study illuminates the dialogical nature of a painted program, designed largely by Peter Paul Rubens, and supplemented by Diego Velázquez. Careful examination of surviving images in their broader intellectual context reveals their literary, rhetorical, and philosophical underpinnings, and elucidates the complementary perspectives of these two great artists.

Yet in this author’s hands the exposition proceeds at a calm, comfortable pace, rigorously supported and comfortably thorough.’ Victoria Holbrook, author of The Unreadable Shores of Love: Turkish Modernity and Mystic Romance Examining the urban culture and landscapes of Istanbul through Şehrengiz, a genre of Ottoman poetry written in honor of various cities and provincial towns, this book questions the space culture of the Ottoman world in relation to practices of orthodox and heterodox Islam and imperial politics. The author traces how a sixteenth-century marginal protest movement evolved, by the early eighteenth century, into a movement of urban space reform. Includes 29 b&w illustrations

St. Catherine of Alexandria in Renaissance Roman Art Case Studies in Patronage Cynthia Stollhans, Saint Louis University, USA ‘Situated within the evolution and tradition of St. Catherine scholarship and offering a tightly-focused examination of the cult in a specific time and place, Stollhans delves deeply into the issue of artistic patronage in Renaissance Rome, examining the ways in which various patrons used and referenced Catherine’s cult to forward their own agendas and formulate their public identities … a fascinating study of the uses and applications of the Catherine cult.’ Scott B. Montgomery, University of Denver, USA How and why did a medieval female saint from the Eastern Mediterranean come to be such a powerful symbol in early modern Rome? This study provides an overview of the development of the cult of Catherine of Alexandria in Renaissance Rome, and explores how her imagery was used to support the religious, political, and/or social agendas of individual patrons and religious orders. 212 pages 978-1-4094-4751-1

Islam, Christianity and the Making of Czech Identity, 1453–1683
Charlene Villaseñor Black, UCLA, USA
Laura Lisy-Wagner, San Francisco State University, USA ‘Dr Lisy-Wagner draws on an array of Czech texts by significant cultural, diplomatic and intellectual figures of the early modern Bohemian Kingdom to explore fascinating themes of cultural contact and conflict, image shaping and re-shaping, border defining and erasing. Challenging, engaging, and accessible … makes a significant contribution to the study of early modern Bohemia, and Europe’s interactions with the Ottoman world next door.’ Hugh Agnew, George Washington University, USA Working through the descriptive and ethnographic texts produced by Czech speakers about Islam and the Ottoman Empire, this study brings to light how they used this discourse to create Czech identities. Rather than simply constructing identity in opposition to the Islamic Other, Laura Lisy-Wagner investigates how the authors played the Holy Roman and Ottoman Empires off of each other, creating a culturally autonomous space for themselves in between.

‘Carefully researched and theoretically sophisticated, this study examines the emergency of new military imagery in the context of competing military ideologies – Spanish and Pre-Columbian – in colonial New Spain. From the creation of new heraldic devices with indigenous elements, to the colonial transformation of European heraldry, ruler portraits in Mexican codices, and military imagery in monastic complexes, as well as the martial symbolism of atrial crosses, Domínguez’s important study documents the fashioning and refashioning of images associated with two different military cultures in an era of conquest.’
Bringing to bear her extensive knowledge of the cultures of Renaissance Europe and sixteenth-century Mexico, Mónica Domínguez Torres here investigates the significance of military images and symbols in postConquest Mexico. She shows how the ‘conquest’ in fact involved dynamic exchanges between cultures; and that certain interconnections between martial, social and religious elements resonated with similar intensity among Mesoamericans and Europeans, indeed creating cultural bridges between these diverse communities.

Early Modern and Renaissance Visual Rhetoric and Early Modern English Literature Katherine Acheson, University of Waterloo, Canada Material Readings in Early Modern Culture
‘...breathtaking in its scope, taking a material, spatial, and visual approach to early modern literature. Theoretically sophisticated, the lucidly written text and lavish illustrations illuminate contemporary meanings behind the non-pictorial image in early modern texts, while at the same time developing a language for evaluating and describing them. Acheson maps this new language and knowledge onto some of the central canons of English literature, leading to some rich new interpretations of well-known works by John Milton, Andrew Marvell, and Aphra Behn. This book is a delight to read and will certainly be of use to any student or scholar of early modern mentalities.’ Angela McShane, Victoria & Albert Museum, UK Considering the variety of charts, diagrams and other kinds of images with which early modern printed books are copiously illustrated, this volume interrogates how visual rhetoric affected verbal expression. The genres of illustration considered include military strategy and tactics, garden design, instrumentation, Bibles, scientific schema, drawing instruction, natural history, comparative anatomy and Aesop’s Fables. The book develops novel methods of using printed images as evidence in the interpretation of the rich, strange and beautiful literature of early modern England.

Apostolic Iconography and Florentine Confraternities in the Age of Reform Douglas N. Dow, Kansas State University, USA Focusing on artists and architectural complexes which until now have eluded scholarly attention, this study examines three different confraternal organizations in sixteenthcentury Florence. Douglas Dow explores how, through the emphasis on the apostles within their art programs, these corporate groups adapted existing iconography to their own purposes. He argues that their willful engagement with apostolic themes reveals the complex interaction between these organizations and the church’s program of reform.

Often taking the form of re-enactments of naval battles or legendary seaborne quests, these festivals seek to buttress civic and national pride, make claims to mastery over the sea and landscape, and explore the imaginative as well as practical life of performance space which has been a hallmark of the research and publication of this volume’s honorand, J.R.

Caravaggio Reflections and Refractions Edited by Lorenzo Pericolo, University of Warwick, UK and David Stone, University of Delaware, USA ‘This is a distinguished collection of original essays by wellestablished scholars of Italian Baroque art and Caravaggio in particular. It is remarkable for the diversity of questions asked and methodological resources deployed in answering them. Such is the sureness of scholarship that underpins each essay, however, that there is little to no contradiction among them. Each essay contributes to a fuller understanding of Caravaggio that is greater than the sum of its excellent parts.’ Charles Dempsey, The Johns Hopkins University, USA As this collection makes clear, the paths to grasping the complexity of Caravaggio’s art are multiple and variable. Offering new or recently updated interpretations of the works of Caravaggio and the Caravaggisti, this book deals with all the major aspects of Caravaggio’s paintings: technique, creative process, religious context, innovations in pictorial genre and narrative, market strategies, biography, patronage, reception and new hermeneutical trends.

The Cult of St Clare of Assisi in Early Modern Italy Nirit Ben-Aryeh Debby, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel ‘…The author demonstrates tremendous erudition encompassing a wide-ranging exploration of the visual as well as textual material. The material will be important to historians of hagiography and its cultural contexts as well as to art historians interested in tracing the changing iconography of an important medieval saint into modern times.’ Anita Moskowitz, Stony Brook University, USA (Emerita), author of Italian Gothic Sculpture c. 1250-1400 Through an examination of such diverse visual images as prints, drawings, panels, sculptures, minor arts, and frescoes, this book, a significant contribution to research in art history, sermon studies, gender studies, and theology, examines the representations of St Clare of Assisi in the Italian visual tradition from the thirteenth to the midseventeenth century. Debby highlights the role of women saints in the reform movements of the Osservanza and the Catholic Reformation, and in the face of Muslim-Christian encounter of the early modern era.

Claudia Goldstein, William Paterson University, USA winner of the joop witteveen prize, 2013 ‘...a fascinating and important topic...Goldstein contextualizes some of Bruegel’s paintings by examining patronage, intellectual history and the history of food and feasts. Goldstein explores fine art and material culture, letters and books, inventories and archives. Her research is thorough, her conclusions sound, her writing style is clear and lively, and she crosses disciplinary boundaries to contribute original ideas to the study of early modern Europe.’
Claudia Goldstein mines a rich, interdisciplinary mix of sources to shed new light on the cultural history of sixteenth-century Antwerp. Recontextualizing some of Bruegel’s work within the cultural nexus of the dining room, she offers a critical and entirely original examination of the function of early modern images for the people who owned and viewed them. 188 pages 978-0-7546-6732-2

Her narrative incorporates close readings of a wide and interesting array of early modern writings, and offers a wealth of intriguing examples...’ Ann Rosalind Jones, Smith College, USA The first comprehensive study on the role of Italian fashion and Italian literature, this book emphasizes the centrality of Italian literature and culture for understanding modern theories of fashion and gauging its impact in the shaping of codes of civility and taste in Europe and the West.

Power Sharing at the Italian Renaissance Court
‘...there is a lot of excellent new material here. The focus on rituals, on pilgrimage, on display of relics, gives this study a broader set of issues to consider than simply art patronage; and the emphasis on the visual character of events such as weddings, entries, festivals, processions, and funerals is especially welcome.’ Ann Roberts, Lake Forest College, USA Positing Medici women’s patronage as a network of devotional, entrepreneurial and cultural activities that depended on seeing and being seen, Alice Sanger focuses on the intersection of the visual and the sacred at the Medici court of the later sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries. By examining the religious dimensions of the Medici grand duchesses’ art patronage and collecting activities alongside their visually resonant devotional and public acts, this book adds a new dimension to the current scholarship on women’s patronage in early modern Italy.

Early Modern Habsburg Women
Sarah D.P. Cockram, University of Edinburgh, UK ‘...this is pathbreaking work. Taking as her primary source the three thousand letters exchanged between this dynastic ruling couple, Cockram makes a very strong case for a profoundly revisionary view of the operating functions of this court and, importantly, of the gender relations that made it work so effectively.’ Deanna Shemek, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA In this first full length scholarly study of Isabella d’Este and Francesco Gonzaga, Sarah Cockram casts new light on a long misunderstood relationship and shows the couple’s strategic teamwork in action. Drawing on largely unpublished archival material, she illuminates tactics of collaboration and double-dealing. She reveals sharing of authority; behind-the-scenes diplomatic activity; epistolary practices and dissimulation; network-building; sexual politics and seduction; court rivalries; Machiavellian intrigues and assassinations.

Transnational Contexts, Cultural Conflicts, Dynastic Continuities
‘... [a] rich and multifaceted study that examines the real power of early modern Habsburg women, a subject traditionally ignored or undervalued by historians. It focuses on the social, cultural, and political contributions of six Habsburg women, as queens, duchesses, vicereines or in one fascinating case, a nun.’
Examining innovations in Mary Magdalene imagery – including her dress – in northern art 1430 to 1550, Penny Jolly explores how the saint’s widespread popularity drew upon her ability to embody oppositions and embrace a range of paradoxical roles: sinner-prostitute and saint, erotic seductress and holy prophet. Analyzing paintings by Rogier van der Weyden, Quentin Massys, and others, Jolly investigates artists’ and audiences’ responses to increasing religious tensions, expanding art markets, and changing roles for women.

Edited by Jutta Gisela Sperling, Hampshire College, USA The premise of this volume is that the ubiquity of lactation imagery in early modern visual culture and the discourse on breastfeeding in humanist, religious, medical, and literary writings is a distinct cultural phenomenon that deserves systematic study. Chapters by art historians, social and legal historians, historians of science, and literary scholars explore ambiguities and contradictions surrounding the issue, and offer tools to support further research on the topic.

Eighteenth–Century Addiction and British Visual Culture, 1751–1919 Wasted Looks
The Concept of the ‘Master’ in Art Education in Britain and Ireland, 1770 to the Present
Julia Skelly
Edited by Matthew C. Potter, Northumbria University, UK
This book investigates and problematizes the long-held belief that addiction is legible from the body, thus positioning visual images as unreliable sources in attempts to identify alcoholics and drug addicts. Examining paintings, graphic satire, photographs, advertisements and architectural sites, Skelly explores such issues as on-going anxieties about maternal drinking; the punishment and confinement of addicted individuals; the mobility of female alcoholics through the streets and spaces of nineteenth-century London; and soldiers’ use of addictive substances such as cocaine and tobacco to cope with traumatic memories following the First World War.
A novel investigation into art pedagogy and constructions of national identities in Britain and Ireland, this collection explores the student-master relationship in case studies ranging chronologically from 1770 to 2013, and geographically over the national art schools of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Essays explore the manner in which the Old Masters were deployed in education; fueled the individual genius of art teachers and students; were used as a rhetorical tool for promoting cultural projects in the core and periphery of the British Isles; and united as well as divided opinions in response to changing expectations in discourse on art and education.

Living with the Royal Academy directs attention to the textures of artists’ relationships with the Royal Academy in late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Britain. This essay collection considers the Academy as a lived organism, one whose most effective role was as a reference point around which artists operated in their relationships with each other and with artistic practice itself.

‘This book’s thick-textured narrative, abounding with theory and informed by a wealth of current and contemporary source material, will please specialist readers… Highly recommended.’
This book maps the interrelation between art, theatre and opera in a time of dramatic historical change and political contestation in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Paris. Contributions to the volume trace the creative connections and clashes fostered by the sharing of new types of subject matter throughout the period. Scholars from art history, theatre studies and musicology take as their subjects a variety of protagonists from theatre, opera, literature and history in order to make visible the intimately interwoven and entangled world of Parisian arts.

Biography, Identity and the Modern Interior Edited by Anne Massey, Middlesex University, UK and Penny Sparke, Kingston University, UK Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer design and architectural historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice.

J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History Leo Costello, Rice University, USA
‘...a thoughtful, richly detailed, and engagingly organized series of essays on the unique confluences between oceanic studies and the history of the visual arts. The range of subjects is exemplary: Romantic oceanscapes, shipwrecks, and travel narratives, yes, but also Indian Ocean dhows and mutineer typologies. Literature, painting, and sculpture link together iconographic studies of ocean liners and plastic pollution, natural histories, and coral collections, all rendered with ingenious scholarly imagination.’ Matt K. Matsuda, Rutgers University, USA Before the eighteenth century, the ocean was regarded as a repulsive and chaotic deep. Despite reinvention as a zone of wonder and pleasure, it continued to be viewed in the West and elsewhere as ‘uninhabited’, empty space. This collection, spanning the eighteenth century to the present, recasts the ocean as ‘social space’, with particular reference to visual representations. This engaging and erudite volume will interest a range of scholars in humanities and social sciences, including art and cultural historians, cultural geographers, and historians of empire, travel, and tourism.

www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409439448
This groundbreaking study demonstrates that Gilbert Stuart suffered from a hereditary form of manic depression, leading him to create pictures that contain peculiar lapses characteristic of a manic-depressive, or bipolar, artist. Using documentary and empirical evidence – from diaries and letters to x-radiographs of paintings – Evans fills important gaps in our knowledge of Stuart, and connects the strange visual effects in some of Stuart’s paintings with cognitive deficits attendant with the disorder.

William Blake and the Productions of Time Andrew M. Cooper, University of Texas at Austin, USA Challenging the idea that a writer’s work reflects his experiences in time and place, Cooper locates the action of William Blake’s major illuminated books in the ahistorical present, an impersonal spirit realm beyond the threedimensional self. Historicist attempts to place Blake’s vision in perspective, Cooper argues, involve a self-contradictory denial of his performativity as a poet-artist of multiple geometrical dimensions.

The Writings of James Barry and the Genre of History Painting, 1775–1809 Liam Lenihan, University College Cork, Ireland Examining the literary career of the eighteenth-century Irish painter James Barry, 1741-1806 through an interdisciplinary methodology, The Writings of James Barry and the Genre of History Painting, 1775-1809 is the first full-length study of the artist’s writings. Liam Lenihan critically assesses the artist’s own aesthetic philosophy about painting and printmaking, and reveals the extent to which Barry wrestles with the significant stylistic transformations of the pre-eminent artistic genre of his age: history painting. Lenihan’s book delves into the connections between Barry’s writings and art, and the cultural and political issues that dominated the public sphere in London during the American and French Revolutions.

Richard A. Marsden, Cardiff University, UK
Edited by Barbara Larson, University of West Florida, USA and Sabine Flach, School of the Visual Arts, USA
Martin Bressani, McGill University, Canada ‘This is a magnum opus, in more than one sense of the term. An important work, the product of vast research and dedicated scholarship, Bressani’s biographical study is a timely contribution not only to architectural studies but also to the field of historical culture in general. Through tracing Viollet-le-Duc’s achievement in relation to the broad transition from Romanticism to Modernity, Bressani succeeds in bringing out his wider significance as an artist and thinker, and as a major figure in French Romanticism.’ Stephen Bann, Bristol University, UK The importance of Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (18141879) within modern architecture cannot be overstated. Key theoretician of modernism, renowned restoration architect, medieval archaeologist and champion of Gothic revivalism, he also published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture. Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex intellectual development, showing how restoration, in all its layered meaning, shaped his outlook. Through his life journey, we follow the route by which the technological subject was born out of nineteenthcentury historicism. Includes 64 colour and 86 b&w illustrations April 2014 Hardback

Crafting the Woman Professional in the Long Nineteenth Century
Picturing Authenticity in Gilded Age America Katie Kresser, Seattle Pacific University, USA The Art and Thought of John La Farge offers an unprecedented portrait of one of the most celebrated artists of the Gilded Age and opens a window onto nineteenth-century American culture. The book reveals how the work of John La Farge contributed to a rich philosophical dialogue concerning the trustworthiness of human perception. In his struggle against a ‘common truth’ of iconic symbols presented by a new mass visual culture, La Farge developed a subversive approach to visual representation that focused attention not on the artwork itself, but on the complex, real encounter of artist, subject and medium from which the artwork came.

Stefan Berger, Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, Germany The antiquary Cosmo Innes (1798-1874) was a prolific editor of medieval and early modern documents relating to Scotland’s parliament, legal system, burghs, universities, aristocratic families and pre-Reformation church. This book, which analyses Innes’s work and provides sources, opens a window onto the ways in which Scottish identity and ideas about the ‘national past’ were perceived in Scotland during the nineteenth century, a period when union with England was all but unquestioned.
Darwin and Theories of Aesthetics and Cultural History is a significant contribution to the fields of theory, Darwin studies, and cultural history. This collection of eight essays is the first volume to address, from the point of view of art and literary historians, Darwin’s intersections with aesthetic theories and cultural histories from the eighteenth century to the present day. Among the philosophers of art influenced by Darwinian evolution and considered in this collection are Alois Riegl, Ruskin, and Aby Warburg. This stimulating collection ranges in content from essays on the influence of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory on Darwin and nineteenth-century debates circulating around beauty to the study of evolutionary models in contemporary art.

The Art and Thought of John La Farge
July 2013 Hardback
‘This is a masterly scholarly monograph that fills an important gap in the literature on Cosmo Innes and Scottish antiquarianism and its long afterlife in the nineteenth century. Situating Innes in an older antiquarian tradition, the author is able to convincingly demonstrate the importance of Innes’ work with primary sources in making him such an accepted authority of Scottish national history. Marsden’s historiographical discussion of Innes and his contextualisation of him in the wider Scottish, British and European scenarios are extremely lucid and helpful.’

Edited by Kyriaki Hadjiafxendi, Bath Spa University, UK and Patricia Zakreski, University of Exeter, UK ‘This exciting, insightful and thoughtful collection complicates the concept of the professional woman artist, blurring the boundaries between the so-called domestic crafts and art production.’ Janice Helland, Queen’s University, Canada Over the course of the nineteenth century, women in Britain participated in diverse and prolific forms of artistic labour. How women faced the pragmatics of their own creative labour as they pursued vocations, trades and professions in the domestic handicraft movements, music, design, commercial illustration, china painting, and authorship reveals the different ideological positions surrounding the transition of women from industrious amateurism to professional artistry.

Art in the Time of Colony Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll Empires and the Making of the Modern World, 1650–2000
‘...an absorbing, experimental interrogation of colonial art and encounter in Australia. The book is notable on many grounds, not least for its fresh research on the intriguing mid-nineteenth century scientific traveller Blandowski, almost forgotten until very recently, but above for its perspective on art history, from the vantage point of contemporary art. Khadija von Zinnenberg Carroll’s voice is distinctive and compelling.’ Nicholas Thomas, University of Cambridge, UK It is often assumed that the verbal and visual languages of indigenous people had little influence upon the classification of scientific, legal, and artistic objects in the metropolises and museums of nineteenth-century colonial powers. However, as this book demonstrates, it is a fallacy that colonized locals merely collected material for interested colonizers. Through an analysis of particular language notations and drawings hidden in colonial documents and a reexamination of cross-cultural communication, the book writes biographies for five objects that exemplify the tensions of nineteenth century history.

Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain Myth and Modernity, Excess and Enchantment Paul Dobraszczyk, University of Manchester, UK In the half century after the building of the Crystal Palace (1851), some architects, engineers, manufacturers and theorists believed that the fusion of iron and ornament would reconcile art and technology and create a new, modern architectural language. This book studies the development of mechanised architectural ornament in iron in nineteenth-century architecture, its reception and theorisation, and the contexts in which it flourished. As such, it offers new ways of understanding the notion of modernity in Victorian architecture. Includes 12 colour and 153 b&w illustrations June 2014 Hardback

‘...significantly expands our understanding of transatlantic cultural exchange between the U.S. and Britain, both by challenging the U.S.-centeredness of North American Studies and by extending its consideration of cross-cultural transatlantic influence well into the nineteenth century. This book inaugurates a new critical vantage point for reinterpreting the cultural connections between the two countries. It is especially attractive for the way it situates literary readings firmly within material culture contexts...’ Phillip H. Round, University of Iowa, USA Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the complex cultural exchanges that took place between Britain and America from 1750 to 1900, this collection examines material and visual cultures alongside literary studies. Intended for researchers in literature and in visual and material cultures, this collection challenges single-subject boundaries by redefining transatlantic studies as the collective examination of the complex and interrelated cultural transactions that crisscrossed the Atlantic through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

In this book, the first full-length study of its kind in English, Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift from tradition to innovation in the Wilhelmine Empire (1870s–1880s) more compellingly than Max Klinger. Morton makes an interdisciplinary examination of Klinger’s early prints and drawings within the context of Wilhelmine transformations, coming to the conclusion that the artist’s work revealed the psychological and biological underpinnings of modern rational man whose drives and passions undermined bourgeois constructions of society.

Painted Men in Britain, 1868–1918
Examining the wide-ranging and abiding implications of Ruskin’s engagement with his contemporaries and followers into the present, this collection is organized around three related themes. This book studies the dissemination of Ruskin’s intellectual legacy to working men and women, especially through education, collections and museums, and popular print culture, and the range of his following in literary culture, theatre and design. The volume also studies the extent to which Ruskin’s work has informed a global network of aesthetic, social and political movements which, to a greater or lesser extent, acknowledge his authority and inspiration.

Painting Labour in Scotland and Europe, 1850-1900 sets out systematically to discuss the Scottish rural painting in relation to its particular Scottish historical context, both sociological and aesthetic and its English and European counterparts. Alongside canonical Scottish images by major figures such as James Guthrie, the book explores many under researched and unconsidered paintings by nineteenth century Scottish artists, and considers them in relation to major English and Continental Realist and Romantic painters. The juxtaposition of J.F. Millet with W.D. McKay, and Edwin Landseer with George Reid makes for a volume that will appeal both to an academic audience and to one interested in European art history more generally.

Nineteenth–Century Suffering and Sentiment in Romantic Military Art Philip Shaw, University of Leicester, UK ‘Beautifully written, lucid, and theoretically sophisticated, Philip Shaw’s study of Romantic military art is a consistently illuminating account of an enormously significant but often overlooked subject.’ Christopher Rovee, Stanford University, USA In a moving intervention into Romantic-era depictions of the dead and wounded, Philip Shaw’s timely study directs our gaze to the neglected figure of the common soldier. He examines a wide range of print and visual media, including paintings, political prose, anti-war poetry, early photographs, and the letters and journals of soldiers and surgeons, uncovering a history of changing attitudes that qualify notions of suffering on and off the battlefield as noble or heroic.

Studies in Art Historiography Series editor: Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham, UK The aim of this series is to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing focussing on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from the past to the present day in all areas and all periods. Besides addressing the major innovators of the past it also encourages re-thinking ways in which the subject may be written in the future. It ignores the disciplinary boundaries imposed by the Anglophone expression ‘art history’ and allows and encourages the full range of enquiry that encompasses the visual arts in its broadest sense as well as topics falling within archaeology, anthropology, ethnography and other specialist disciplines and approaches. It welcomes contributions from young and established scholars and is aimed at building an expanded audience for what has hitherto been a much specialised topic of investigation. It complements the work of the Journal of Art Historiography. For more information on this series please visit www.ashgate.com/arthistoriography
Text, Image, and the Problem with Perfection in Nineteenth-Century France
Alois Riegl in Vienna 1875–1905 An Institutional Biography
Victorian Perceptions of Renaissance Architecture
Utopia and Its Afterlives
Diana Cordileone, Point Loma Nazarene University, USA
Katherine Wheeler, University of Miami, USA
Daniel Sipe, University of Missouri, USA
In Alois Riegl in Vienna 1875-1905, Diana Cordileone applies standard methods of cultural and intellectual history for close readings of Riegl’s published texts, several of which are still unavailable in English. Using archival and other primary sources this study also illuminates the institutional conflicts and imperatives that shaped Riegl’s oeuvre. The result is a multi-layered philosophical, cultural and institutional history of this art historian’s work of the fin-de-siècle that demonstrates his close relationship to several of the significant actors in Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century.
In the mid-1880s, an influential British architectural journal published an article characterizing Renaissance architecture as a corruption of classical architecture. By the turn of the century, however, the same journal praised the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi as the ‘Christopher Columbus of modern architecture.’ Relevant for architectural historians, literary scholars and those in Victorian studies, this book examines the conflicting late nineteenth-century characterizations of Renaissance architecture and reassesses them within the formation of a modern, British architectural profession.

Daniel Sipe focuses on the persistent afterlife of utopias in works by artists and writers who include François-René de Chateaubriand, Etienne Cabet, J.J. Grandville, Charles Barbara, Auguste Villiers de l’Isle-Adam, Victor Hugo, Gustave Courbet, and Charles Baudelaire. By juxtaposing these works with those of social scientists such as Charles Fourier, Sipe provides the historical context for comprehending the significance and implications of this phenomenon in nineteenth-century utopian art and literature.

Twentieth–Century Across the World with the Johnsons Visual Culture and American Empire in the Twentieth Century Prue Ahrens, Griffith University, Australia, Lamont Lindstrom, University of Tulsa, USA and Fiona Paisley, Griffith University, Australia Empires and the Making of the Modern World, 1650–2000
During the interwar period Osa and Martin Johnson became famous for their films that brought exotic and far-off locations to the American cinema. Before the advent of mass tourism and television, their films played a major part in providing the means by which large audiences in the US and beyond became familiar with distant and ‘wild’ places across the world. Taking the celebrity of the Johnsons as its case study, this book investigates the influence of these new forms of visual culture, showing how they created their own version of America’s imperial drama. Bringing together research in the fields of film and politics – including gender and empire, historical anthropology, photography and visual studies – this book provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Johnsons, their work and its impact.

Ashgate Studies in Surrealism Series editor: Gavin Parkinson, Courtauld Institute of Art, UK With scholarly interest in Surrealism greater than ever, the Ashgate Studies in Surrealism series serves as a forum for key areas of Surrealist inquiry today. This series extends the ongoing academic and popular interest in Surrealism, evident in recent studies that have rethought established areas of Surrealist activity and engagement, including those of politics, the object, photography, crime, and modern physics. Expanding and adding various lines of inquiry, books in the series examine Surrealism’s intersections with philosophical, social, artistic, and literary themes. Potential subjects to be examined in the context of Surrealism include but are not limited to: nature; queer studies; humor and play; science; theory in the 1950s and 1960s; the New Novel; Surrealist activities beyond Paris.

Art and the Second World War Monica Bohm-Duchen ‘[a] well-researched, clear-eyed assessment of art’s relationship to [the Second World War]. [...] Focused on painting, sculpture, drawings and prints, the book is particularly impressive for the obscure work it covers, such as that by German and Austrian refugees interned on the Isle of Man, sketches from Japanese-Americans interned in the U.S., and drawings by Italian Partisans in combat. [...] Brimming with chilling, full-color images, this handsome volume reaffirms the importance of WWII in relation to the fine arts.’ Publishers Weekly
Ludics in Surrealist Theatre and Beyond
Art and the Second World War is the first book in English to provide a comprehensive and detailed international overview of the complex and often disturbing relationship between war and the fine arts during this crucial period of modern history. This generously illustrated volume starts by examining the art produced in reaction to the Spanish Civil War (often viewed as ‘the first battle of World War II’), and then looks at painting, sculpture, prints, and drawing in each of the major combatant nations, including Japan and China. Breathtaking in scope, this scholarly yet accessible publication places wartime art within its broader cultural, political, and military contexts while never losing sight of the power and significance of the individual image and the individual artist.
‘Rapti (classics, Harvard) offers a dense, erudite argument that surrealist drama is not mimetic but methectic… Summing Up: Recommended.’ Choice This study reconsiders Surrealist theatre specifically from the perspective of ludics – a poetics of play and games – an ideal approach to the Surrealists, whose games blur the boundaries between the ‘playful’ and the ‘serious.’ Beginning with the Surrealists’ ‘one-into-another’ game and its illustration of Breton’s ludic dramatic theory, Rapti examines the traces of this kind of game in the works of a wide variety of Surrealist and Post-Surrealist playwrights and stage directors.

Twentieth–Century The Art Book Tradition in Twentieth-Century Europe Edited by Kathryn Brown, Tilburg University, The Netherlands Exploring various ways in which a range of twentieth-century European artists and writers challenged the boundary between visual and linguistic expression in the content, production and physical form of books, these essays challenge the roles played by visual and bodily sensation in recent histories of literary modernism.

‘...compelling, scholarly, well nuanced – some Palestinian artists are included – beautifully produced and, in Zalmona’s far-reaching approach tracing how a nation’s history is both echoed and challenged by its art, of broad political as well as aesthetic significance.’ Financial Times A Century of Israeli Art presents the story of modern Israel’s visual culture, beginning with the pre-state years of Zionist art in the early 20th century and extending to the present day, as a new generation of Israeli artists rises to international prominence in the 21st century. Author Yigal Zalmona describes the many ways in which Israel’s art has been influenced by its social and political history, surveying the early days of the Bezalel School, founded in 1906 in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement; Land-of-Israel art during an era of nation-building; the pre-eminence of international modernism and Lyrical Abstraction after 1948; social-activist and conceptual art in the 1970s; and the recent embrace of photography and video.

Edward Burra (1905-76) was an English painter who is best known for his paintings of the seedy underworld of urban life. Yet, as this fascinating new monograph on his work reveals, his interests were much broader, incorporating landscape and still-life paintings, stage designs and book illustration. Somewhat neglected by histories of modern art because his singular vision was often at odds with the mainstream art world, his work is now due for an appraisal. This important book represents the first full-scale monograph on Edward Burra and reproduces 100 key paintings alongside drawings and a range of fascinating contextual material.

Twentieth–Century Eric Ravilious
A Fine Regard
Artist and Designer
Essays in Honor of Kirk Varnedoe
Alan Powers
Edited by Patricia G. Berman, Wellesley College, USA and Gertje R. Utley
Sculpture, Space, and the Cultural Value of Urban Imagery
This volume celebrates the scholarly and curatorial vision of Kirk Varnedoe (1946-2003), one of the most distinguished curators in the United States, and as Professor of Fine Arts at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, a famously dynamic teacher. The nineteen essays, written by Varnedoe’s most distinguished doctoral students (now noted art historians in their own right), highlight the wide range of subjects in nineteenth and twentiethcentury art introduced in his pedagogy.
Peter Muir, Open University, UK
‘Despite his erudition, Dr Powers wears his learning lightly and writes elegantly and concisely [...]. This new study of Ravilious is a pleasure to read, besides being packed with unexpected insights and detailed analysis. Dr Powers goes straight to the heart of Ravilious’ art [... and] is particularly good on technical information straightforwardly phrased. [...] There have been a number of Ravilious publications in recent years, but this is by far the most informative and well-crafted account of all aspects of this remarkable artist’s achievement.’ Andrew Lambirth, Country Life
Includes 65 colour and 64 b&w illustrations
More popular than ever, the work of Eric Ravilious (1903-42) is rooted in the landscape of mid-20th-century England. This new survey of his work by Alan Powers, the established authority on Ravilious, is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of his art in all media – watercolour, illustration, printmaking, graphic design, textiles, mural-painting and ceramics – and positions Ravilious firmly as a significant figure in the history of early 20th-century British art.

Not all writers about Bacon have been able to write so clearly. She has also incorporated previous writers’ work.

Eye hEar The Visual in Music Simon Shaw-Miller, University of Bristol, UK ‘By claiming boldly that music is a subject for art historians, Simon Shaw-Miller has laid down the gauntlet for musicologists in this remarkable book. Rich with references to historical and philosophical discussions on the links between music and visual art, Shaw-Miller has produced a work that is also replete with profound aphorisms and sharp insights into specific case studies. Seminal in its contribution to our understanding of the interlocking relationship between the visual and the musical, this book is no less than a manifesto for future scholarship.’ Alan Davison, University of New England, Australia
In this in-depth analysis, Peter Muir argues that Gordon Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect (1975) is emblematic of Henri Lefebvre’s understanding of art’s function in relation to urban space. By engaging with Lefebvre’s theory in conjunction with the perspectives of other writers, such as Michel de Certeau, Jacques Derrida, and George Bataille, the book elicits a story that presents the artwork’s significance, origins and legacies. Muir argues that Conical Intersect is much more than an ‘artistic hole.’ Due to its location at Plateau Beaubourg in Paris, it is simultaneously an object of art and an instrument of social critique.

‘From There to Here’: The Art of Michael Buhler Mary Rose Beaumont, Jane England and John Mack ‘With an informative chronology, several essays and abundant illustrations - reminding us how meticulous a draughtsman and imaginative a colourist he was - this volume is an excellent compendium of [Buhler’s] work.’ The Jackdaw ‘From There to Here’: The Art of Michael Buhler is the first book to focus in depth on the varied and in some ways enigmatic art of Michael Buhler (1940-2009). It brings together images of Buhler’s work in a range of media with writings by the artist and introductory essays by three noted art historians. The carefully selected images and wellresearched texts make this book the perfect introduction to an artist who, despite regular exhibitions, never quite achieved the renown he merited during his lifetime. For those already familiar with Buhler’s work, the book provides an opportunity to discover some of his lesser-known pieces and read the artist’s own reflections on his practice.

Eye hEar The Visual in Music employs the concept of the visual in proximate relation to music, producing a tension: ‘is it not the case that there is a gulf between painting and music, between the visible and the audible? One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible and marvellously noisy.’ Such a belief, this book argues, betrays an ideological constraint on music, desiccating it to sound, and art to vision. The starting point of this study is more hybrid (and hydrating): that music is never employed without numerous and complex intersections with the visual. By involving the concept of synaesthesia, the book evokes music’s multi-sensory nature, stops it from sounding alone, and offers music as a subject for art historians.

Twentieth–Century The Image of Christ in Modern Art
Joan Eardley Christopher Andreae
Richard Harries, Professor Lord Harries of Pentregarth ‘The art of our age is by no means as secular as some think, and in this fascinating and finely documented study, Richard Harries traces some of the ways in which the image of Christ has tunnelled its way back into the central territory of the imagination in the work of some surprising modern artists. A fascinating and fresh survey.’ Rowan Williams, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK The Image of Christ in Modern Art explores the challenges, presented by the radical and rapid changes of artistic style in the twentieth century, to artists who wished to relate to traditional Christian imagery. In this highly illustrated book, Richard Harries looks at artists associated with the birth of modernism, such as Epstein and Rouault, as well as those with a highly distinctive understanding of religion such as Chagall and Stanley Spencer. Through a beautiful range of images and insightful text, Harries suggests that the modern movement in art has turned out to be a friend not a foe of Christian art, and that which is visual can in some way indicate the transcendent.

‘Mr Andreae’s enjoyably well-written text draws heavily on previously unpublished letters, and offers an admirably clear picture of this Northern Expressionist artist and her times.’ Andrew Lambirth, Country Life Joan Eardley (1921-63) is considered to be one of the most influential Scottish painters of her generation. Her paintings and drawings reflect urban and rural Scotland in an expressive visual language unlike any other artist’s. This new, highly illustrated survey of her painting does renewed justice to the range, scale and power of her work.

‘...written from the best motives and the most constructive point of view. He had the benefit of ten years of talking to and corresponding with the artist, watching him paint and seeing his places of work. Although he conveys his enthusiasm for the pictures, to a great extent he lets Hitchens speak for himself.’ Times Literary Supplement Ivon Hitchens (1893-1979) is widely regarded as the outstanding English landscape painter of the 20th century. Immediately recognisable by its daring yet subtle use of colour and brushmark to evoke the spirit of place, his work is to be found in public and private collections throughout the world. Newly available in paperback, this is the definitive study of Hitchens’ life and work. Peter Khoroche draws on the painter’s published writings, correspondence and conversation to create a critical reappraisal of Hitchens’ theory and practice.

Landscape Imagery, Politics and Identity in a Divided Germany, 1968-1989 explores the communicative relationship between German landscape painting and the viewing public that developed in the wake of the student revolutions of the late 1960s. The book demonstrates that, contrary to some historical thinking, more similarities than differences characterized the sociopolitical concerns of East and West Germans during the late Cold War Era, and that it was these shared issues that were reflected in the revival of the Romantic painting genre.

Julian Trevelyan
Leonora Carrington
Picture Language ‘This affectionate and nuanced portrait of Trevelyan adds considerably to our knowledge and understanding of a remarkable man who lived in interesting times and places, and whose response to both, in his art, his writings and his relationships, was always quickly sensitive and committed.’

The working life of Julian Trevelyan (1910-88) spanned more than 65 years. In that time he exhibited alongside Picasso, Miró and Dali, was a member of the British Surrealist group, an active participant in the Mass Observation Movement, taught both at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and wrote a number of books. After the Second World War his work was mainly concerned with depicting scenes around his Hammersmith home and the River Thames, where he lived with his wife Mary Fedden, as well as his travels around the world. Philip Trevelyan, Julian’s son, takes us on a pictorial journey through Julian’s life and presents here his personal view, offering insights from his researches and first-hand knowledge of life in Trevelyan’s studio at Durham Wharf in London.

Philip Vann and Gerard Hastings Keith Vaughan occupies a unique position in British art owing to his desire to marry eroticism with ‘permanent, formal, classical values’. A complex, conflicted character, he dismissed Bacon’s “spiv-existentialist outlook” and instead stripped down the human figure in such a way as to bring out man’s dignity and self-possession. This book will contribute to the growing interest in this artist, while Gerard Hastings’s essay on the gouaches draws attention to a previously overlooked aspect of Vaughan’s work.’ Frances Spalding Includes 174 colour and 12 b&w illustrations 184 pages 978-1-84822-097-3 £40.00

Mikhail Larionov and the Cultural Politics of Late Imperial Russia Sarah Warren, Purchase College, USA In the turbulent atmosphere of early twentieth-century Tsarist Russia, avant-garde artists took advantage of a newly pluralistic culture in order to challenge orthodoxies of form as well as social prohibitions. Very few did this as effectively, or to as broad an audience, as Mikhail Larionov. This groundbreaking study examines the complete range of his work (painting, book illustration, performance, and curatorial work), and demonstrates that Larionov was taking part in a broader cultural conversation that arose out of fundamental challenges to autocratic rule.

Mary Fedden Enigmas and Variations Christopher Andreae ‘ ... this is a book to delight Fedden’s many friends and admirers ... [Andreae’s] sensitive, intelligent book deepens our understanding of the subtleties of [Fedden’s] art – and its unexpected variety.’ House & Garden Mary Fedden (1915-2012) is one of Britain’s most popular artists. The focus of this acclaimed book, newly available in paperback in celebration of her life’s achievement, is the artist’s creative process in various different media – oil, gouache, pencil and collage. In an engaging text, which draws on numerous conversations with the artist during her final years, Christopher Andreae considers why Fedden has always had such a popular following, looks at the English quality of her work, and talks about the commercialisation of her art and her attitudes to the art market. Fedden is shown to be an original, serious and prolific artist, a draftsman of unusual sensitivity and prowess, and a colourist of power and subtlety.

What is at stake here is no less than a rethinking of the concept of modernism from an intermedial perspective. Modernism on Stage is a tour de force not to be missed by anyone interested in the Ballets Russes and the Parisian avant-garde.’ French Studies Modernism on Stage restores the Ballets Russes to its central role in the Parisian art world of the 1910s and 1920s, and includes close readings of ballets designed by Picasso, Delaunay, Matisse, and de Chirico. Dance is brought to bear upon modernist art history as more than a source of imagery, but as part of the avant-garde’s articulation of the idea of a total work of art.

The first English-language monograph on Il Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, this study explores the rise and fall of this postwar Italian artists’ group as a representative instance of the tensions facing Italian painting during the transition out of two decades of Fascism and into the global divisions of the Cold War. Adrian Duran argues that the binary structures of the era – realism vs. abstraction, Communism vs. democracy, conformism vs. freedom – have monopolized the discourse surrounding the Fronte Nuovo and, with it, the historiography of Italian painting during this period, 1944-50.

The twelve contributions to this volume examine some of the points of origin of the vitrine and the various relations it brokers with sculpture, first in the Wunderkammer and cabinet of curiosities and then in dialog with the development of glazed architecture beginning with Paxton’s Crystal Palace (1851). The collection offers close discussions of the role of the vitrine and shop window in the rise of commodity culture and raises key questions about the nature and implications of vitrinous space.

This study draws upon a wealth of previously unpublished material, including over 2000 letters, and press cuttings and photographs in the Tate Archive, as well as letters and photographs held by Reid Dick’s family. The first monograph on Reid Dick since 1945, the book also includes images of over 40 of his works and a listing of over 200 works identified by the author.

World Art and the Legacies of Colonial Violence – comprised of ten essays by an international roster of art historians, curators, and anthropologists – forges innovative approaches to post-colonial studies, Indigenous studies, critical heritage studies, and the new museology. This volume probes the degree to which global histories of conflict, coercion and occupation have shaped art historical approaches to intercultural knowledge and representation. These debates are relevant to contemporary artists and scholars of visual, material and museological culture in their attempts to negotiate imperial and colonial legacies.

Edited by Isabelle Loring Wallace, University of Georgia, USA and Nora Wendl, Portland State University, USA Contemporary Art About Architecture is the first to take up its topic in a sustained and explicit manner and the first to advance the idea that contemporary art increasingly functions as a form of architectural history, theory and analysis. It examines a diverse group of artists – including Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Matthew Barney, Monika Sosnowska, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Paul Pfeiffer and Mies van der Rohe – in conjunction with the vernacular, canonical, and fantastical structures engaged by their work. Includes 16 colour and 69 b&w illustrations 368 pages 978-1-4094-3286-9

The first monograph to do so, Giorgio Armani: Empire of the Senses examines the visual, material, phenomenological, spatial, discursive, and economic culture of Giorgio Armani and his lifestyle empire. The book explores how Armani’s designs and decisions provide a surface on and through which to mediate acts of translation: from East to West; from fashion to art; from one gendered identity to another; and from two-dimensional image to three-dimensional object.

Scale in Contemporary Sculpture Enlargement, Miniaturisation and the Life-Size Rachel Wells, Newcastle University, UK
Impeccably researched and richly detailed, this book addresses the issue of translation between visual arts and landscape design in the 50-year career of American painter and environmental artist Patricia Johanson. Exploring the artist’s search for an ‘art of the real’ as a member of the postwar New York art world, it demonstrates that visual translation cannot be understood solely through the works of art, instead attention must be paid to the process of creation. This book is an insightful attempt to confront a crucial question in the history of art through the work of a contemporary artist. Includes 64 colour and 48 b&w illustrations

The paintings executed by Kurt Jackson (b.1961) do not reveal his day-to-day working practice. Behind his finished canvases are hundreds of sketchbooks borne out of his continual routine of making drawings, marks, notes, poems and scribbles.

Bill Woodrow (b.1948) has been one of the most influential and prolific sculptors working in Britain over the last 35 years. A crucial part of the ‘New British Sculpture’ group of the 1980s, which also included Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Richard Wentworth, Woodrow’s work was seen as succeeding the ‘New Generation’ sculpture of Anthony Caro and others by reintroducing narrative into sculpture through the incorporation and re-shaping of found materials. This book is the first comprehensive study of Woodrow’s sculpture, and provides a full visual survey of his work from the late 1960s to the present, making use of unpublished interviews conducted by Jon Wood.
Winner, Henry Moore Foundation Grant The first book to devote serious attention to questions of scale in contemporary sculpture, this study considers the phenomenon within the interlinked cultural and socio-historical framework of the legacies of postmodern theory and the growth of global capitalism. In particular, the book traces the impact of postmodern theory on concepts of measurement and exaggeration, and analyses the relationship between this philosophy and the sculptural trend that has developed since the early 1990s.
Tradition, Culture and Aesthetics in Contemporary Asian Cinema Peter C. Pugsley, University of Adelaide, Australia ‘A major scholarly achievement, demonstrating not only the contours of Asian cinema, but also its significant aesthetic underpinnings, major auteurs and the manner in which it was marketed and received in the West. A long-awaited text for classroom use, but one which should be read by anyone who speaks of “Asian” cinema in global contexts.’ David Desser, Emeritus, University of Illinois, USA From the critically acclaimed Malaysian film Sepet to the on-going box office successes of the films created by Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai, cinematic texts from the nations of Asia are increasingly capturing audiences beyond their national boundaries. Tradition, Culture and Aesthetics in Contemporary Asian Cinema explores the rise of popular Asian cinema and provides an understanding of the aesthetic elements that mark these films as ‘Asian cinema’. Incorporating examples of contemporary films from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and India, Pugsley gives readers a fresh insight into the rapidly developing discourse on popular Asian media.

Ashgate Studies in Architecture Series editor: Eamonn Canniffe, Manchester School of Architecture, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK The discipline of Architecture is undergoing subtle transformation as design awareness permeates our visually dominated culture. Technological change, the search for sustainability and debates around the value of place and meaning of the architectural gesture are aspects which will affect the cities we inhabit. This series seeks to address such topics, both theoretically and in practice, through the publication of high quality original research, written and visual.

The Collaborators: Interactions in the Architectural Design Process Gilbert Herbert, Emeritus Professor of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Israel, and Mark Donchin, Architect and City Planner, Los Angeles, USA ‘“Do I have some good stories for you!” While reading The Collaborators I found myself mentally swapping war tales with Gil Herbert (my first studio critic) and Mark Donchin. This joy of recognition will be shared by all architects who find their own experience dissected on its pages, and by many clients. Yet our accounts cannot be as insightful or enlightening as the careful analyses and theoretical formulations of the authors. Clients and architects could see this book as a flagship for “Project Psychology and Management,” a course that each feels the other should take. And both would be right.’ Denise Scott Brown, Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates

The Challenge of Emulation in Art and Architecture Between Imitation and Invention David Mayernik, University of Notre Dame, USA Mayernik argues that it was the absence of a coherent understanding of emulation that fostered the fissuring of artistic production in the later eighteenth century into those devoted to copying the past and those interested in continual novelty, a situation solidified over the course of the nineteenth century and mostly taken for granted today. This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the historical phenomenon of emulation, and perhaps more importantly a timely argument for its value to contemporary practice.
Illustrated by critical analyses of significant buildings, including examples by such eminent architects as Adler and Sullivan, Erich Mendelsohn, and Louis Kahn, this book examines collaboration in the architectural design process over a period ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the late 1960s. The examples chosen, located in England, the United States, Israel and South Africa, are of international scope. Ultimately, in five different ways, in five different epochs, and in five different circumstantial and cultural contexts, this book shows how the dialogue between the players in the design process resonates upon the works of architecture that their collaboration engenders.
Recto Verso: Redefining the Sketchbook Edited by Angela Bartram and Douglas Gittens, both at University of Lincoln, UK and Nader El-Bizri, the American University of Beirut, Lebanon This volume explores the place of the sketchbook in contemporary art and architecture. Drawing upon a diverse range of theories, practices, and reflections common to the contemporary conceptualisation of the sketchbook and its associated environments, it offers a dialogue in which the sketchbook can be understood as a pivotal working tool that contributes to the creative process and the formulation and production of visual ideas. Along with exploring the theoretical, philosophical, psychological, and curatorial implications of the sketchbook, the book addresses emergent digital practices by way of examining contemporary developments in sketchbook productions and pedagogical applications.

Architecture Marcel Duchamp and the Architecture of Desire
Pevsner: The Complete Broadcast Talks
Penelope Haralambidou, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK
Architecture and Art on Radio and Television, 1945-1977
Design Research in Architecture
Edited by Stephen Games, University of Kent, UK
Marcel Duchamp and the Architecture of Desire examines the link between architectural thinking and Duchamp’s work. By employing design, drawing and making – the tools of the architect – Haralambidou’s work performs an architectural analysis of Duchamp’s final enigmatic work Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas… demonstrating an innovative research methodology able to grasp meaning beyond textual analysis. This novel reading of his ideas and methods adds to, but also challenges, other art-historical interpretations. Through three main themes – allegory, visuality and desire – the book defines and theorises an alternative drawing practice positioned between art and architecture that predates and includes Duchamp.

Ornament and Order Graffiti, Street Art and the Parergon Rafael Schacter, University College London, UK Based on an in-depth ethnographic study working with some of the world’s most influential Independent Public Artists, this book takes a completely new approach. Placing these illicit aesthetic practices within a broader historical, political, and aesthetic context, it argues that they are in fact both intrinsically ornamental (working within a classic architectonic framework), as well as innately ordered (within a highly ritualized, performative structure). Rather than disharmonic, destructive forms, rather than ones solely working within the dynamics of the market, these insurgent images are seen to reface rather than deface the city, operating within a modality of contemporary civic ritual.

‘Conversational, spontaneous, wide-ranging, and often responding to recent travels and encounters, Pevsner’s broadcasts reveal a side that does not appear in his more scholarly writings. Reading the transcripts today, they show him reaching beyond the circle of professionals and academics, as part of his mission to bring informed discussion of architecture into the orbit of everyday life.’ Adrian Forty, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UK This book brings together the surviving texts of the 113 talks on art and architecture that we know of, given by the art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner on radio and television over a 37-year period between 1945-1977. These talks are important as an example of the attempt by the BBC in particular to provide intellectual programming for the mass population and what they reveal about changing tastes in the treatment of the arts as a broadcast topic, as well as offering a case study of the development of one particular historian’s approach to a subject that was gaining ground in universities as a direct result of his popularisation of it.

Place-making for the Imagination: Horace Walpole and Strawberry Hill Marion Harney, University of Bath, UK Drawing together landscape, architecture and literature, Strawberry Hill, the celebrated eighteenth-century ‘Gothic’ villa and garden beside the River Thames, is an autobiographical site, where we can read the story of its creator, Horace Walpole. This beautifully illustrated book reveals the Gothic villa and associated landscape to be inspired by theories that stimulate ‘The Pleasures of the Imagination’ articulated in the series of essays by Joseph Addison (1672-1719) published in the Spectator (1712). Linked to this argument, it proposes that the concepts behind the designs for Strawberry Hill are not based around architectural precedent but around eighteenth-century aesthetics theories, antiquarianism and matters of ‘Taste’.
Time Matter(s): Invention and Re-Imagination in Built Conservation The Unfinished Drawing and Building of St. Peter’s, the Vatican Federica Goffi, Carleton University, Canada ‘Time Matter(s) is a unique and timely scholarly study of Tiberio Alfarano’s mysterious drawing of St Peter’s Basilica from the late 16th century...the author examines with great acumen and scholarly insight. At the same time, the author argues that the artifact provides a rich and fertile source of ideas about broader issues of building conservation today, providing a critical point of reference for re-evaluating the nature and meaning of historical and cultural continuity as a problem of architectural representation. The book would be of interest to both practitioners and academics, challenging conventional assumptions of an unmediated relationship between history and creativity that has become endemic in architectural conservation today.’ Nicholas Temple, University of Huddersfield, UK This book fills in a blind spot in current architectural theory and practice, looking into a notion of conservation as a form of invention and imagination, offering the reader a counter-viewpoint to a predominant western understanding that preservation should be a ‘still shot’ from the past. Through a micro-historical study of a Renaissance concept of restoration, this book provides a theoretical framework to question the issue of conservation as a possible creative endeavour, when a mnemic building is concerned, entailing conservation of memory within changes. It focuses on Tiberio Alfarano’s 1571 ichnography of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, into which was woven a complex body of religious, political, architectural and cultural elements.

Art as an Investment? A Survey of Comparative Assets Melanie Gerlis
Richard Sandell, University of Leicester, UK
‘No one is better able than Melanie Gerlis to discuss the pros and cons of art as an investment. In this groundbreaking book she has brought her financial expertise and first-hand knowledge of art and its markets to bear on a topic that has excited considerable debate over the last decade. This insightful book is a must for anyone seeking to really understand the nature of the art commodity.’ Dr Iain Robertson, Head of Art Business Studies, Sotheby’s Institute of Art Aimed at collectors and investors, this user-friendly guide explains art’s value as an asset through comparisons with more familiar investments, including property, shares and gold. It draws on extensive research and interviews with key players in these other markets, as well as the author’s own experience, to clarify the specifics of art as an asset class.

Cultural Heritage in the Arabian Peninsula
Australian Artists in the Contemporary Museum
‘The contributors capture precisely that which is different about heritage in the UAE. It is not about the past; it is about the present and the future. Emirati heritage is being created now and those of us working in the UAE appreciate just how dynamic and often politically charged the process of creation can be.’
In Australia, the artist’s engagement with the museum is traditionally regarded as having an important role in the colonial project but, as times have changed, the postcolonial viewpoint has come to the fore. The authors of Australian Artists and the Museum propose that the artists’ engagement has moved from politically informed critique taking place in museums of fine art, towards a critique of the creation of knowledge taking place in non-art museums, assuming new forms, including the artist acting as curator, art interventions that highlight the use of taxonomic modes of display and categorization, and the engagement with the aesthetics of collections to suggest different readings of objects and artefacts.

Jane Bristol-Rhys, Zayed University, UAE Heritage projects in the Arabian Peninsula are developing rapidly. Museums and heritage sites are symbols of shifting national identities, and a way of placing the Arabian Peninsula states on the international map. Global, i.e. Western, heritage standards and practices have been utilised for the rapid injection of heritage expertise in museum development and site management and for international recognition. The use of Western heritage models in the Arabian Peninsula inspires two key areas for research which this book examines: the obscuring of indigenous concepts and practices of heritage and expressions of cultural identity; and the tensions between local/community concepts of heritage and identity and the new national identities being constructed through museums and heritage sites at a state level.

‘In this engaging and thought-provoking work, the author enlivens the recent history of pedagogically motivated artists’ interventions and offers significant insights into the “curious lessons” they provide to museum and gallery learning departments.’ Julie Sheldon, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Amongst recent contemporary art and museological publications, there have been relatively few which direct attention to the distinct contributions that twentieth and twenty-first century artists have made to gallery and museum interpretation practices. There are fewer still that recognise the pedagogic potential of interventionist artworks in galleries and museums. This book fills that gap and demonstrates how artists have been making curious but, none-the-less, useful contributions to museum education and curation for some time. This valuable book will be essential reading for students and scholars of museum studies, as well as art and cultural studies.

Debates, Discourses and Practices
‘Museums have changed profoundly over the last twenty years, and one of the most vital symptoms and drivers of change has been the engagement of contemporary artists with them. Artists’ interventions have been predictably controversial and much debated. It is time for a more balanced analysis and this book offers one, along with an overview of the distinctive and important history of contemporary engagement with institutions in Australia.’

Museums, Collecting and Material Culture Museums and Silent Objects: Designing Effective Exhibitions Francesca Monti and Suzanne Keene, both at University College London, UK ‘...the authors have broken new ground by focusing not on the spectacular and iconic items on display, but the less significant ones which nevertheless have fascinating stories. Through detailed research using examples from three museum galleries, underpinned by a range of theoretical perspectives, they produce practical advice for museum professionals on how to give these silent objects a new voice.’ Nick Merriman, The Manchester Museum, UK In museums, visitors are immediately drawn to striking or iconic objects, but there are many less conspicuous but important items which illustrate cultural contexts and content and are equally deserving of their attention. The authors of Museums and Silent Objects, offer a methodology for judging the quality of museum exhibitions from the visitor’s perspective, and offer practical tools for museum professionals to evaluate displays, and design new galleries and exhibits. Fully illustrated and based on studies of world-famous galleries, this book is essential reading for those creating effective museum displays.

The Art Collector’s Handbook
New Collecting: Exhibiting and Audiences after New Media Art
A Guide to Collection Management and Care
Edited by Beryl Graham, University of Sunderland, UK ‘This is essential reading for artists, curators, art historians, students and anyone else interested in creating, commissioning, collecting, exhibiting and documenting new media art. The authors provide an excellent overview of the challenges involved in dealing with 21st century artworks that are “not easy to collect”.’ Douglas Dodds, Victoria and Albert Museum, UK New media art presents many challenges to the curator and collector, but there is very little published analytical material available to help meet those challenges. This book fills that gap. Drawing from the editor’s extensive research and the authors’ expertise in the field, the book provides clear navigation through a disparate arena. The authors offer examples from a wide geographical reach, including the UK, North America and Asia and integrate the consideration of audience response into all aspects of their work. The book will be essential reading for those studying or practicing in new media, curating or museums and galleries. Includes 50 b&w illustrations March 2014 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB

Mary Rozell With the rapid and unprecedented global expansion of the art market, new collectors are emerging every day. When buying art, whether for pure enjoyment, for investment or some other motive, few art collectors consider the practical and financial implications of owning and maintaining art, and many do not have a plan for how they might eventually dispose of it. This book, probing a number of resources and incorporating advice from top experts in the field, offers guidance on collection management and care, and serves as an important reference guide for collectors and those charged with managing collections.

The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting, 1700–1950 Series editors: Michael Yonan, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA The Histories of Material Culture and Collecting provides a forum for the broad study of object acquisition and collecting practices in their global dimensions from 1700 to 1950. The series seeks to illuminate the intersections between material culture studies, art history, and the history of collecting. It takes as its starting point the idea that objects both contributed to the formation of knowledge in the past and likewise contribute to our understanding of the past today. The human relationship to objects has proven a rich field of scholarly inquiry, with much recent scholarship either anthropological or sociological rather than art historical in perspective. Underpinning this series is the idea that the physical nature of objects contributes substantially to their social meanings, and therefore that the visual, tactile, and sensual dimensions of objects are critical to their interpretation.

Craft, Community and the Material Culture of Place and Politics, 19th-20th Century Edited by Janice Helland and Alena Buis, both at Queen’s University, Canada and Beverly Lemire, University of Alberta, Canada With object study at the core, this book brings together a collection of essays that address the past and present of craft production, its use and meaning within a range of community settings from the Huron Wendat of colonial Quebec to the Girls’ Friendly Society of twentieth-century England. The making of handcrafted objects has and continues to flourish despite the powerful juggernaut of global industrialization. By attending to the political histories of craft objects and their makers, over the last few centuries, these essays reveal the creative persistence of various hand mediums and the material debates they represented.

Manufacturing the Modern Patron in Victorian California

Cultural Philanthropy, Industrial Capital, and Social Authority
‘Killing art to make history’
John Ott, James Madison University, USA Prize: Winner of a College Art Association Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant ‘This is the most important book on Gilded Age art patronage written in years. This fascinating book offers a much-needed alternative perspective on American art and patronage of the late 19th century. By exploring how the Gilded Age unfolded in the land of gold – California – John Ott mines a rich history indeed, at once regional and cosmopolitan. Ott brilliantly illuminates the emergence of a broader, national network of corporate culture-brokering, to which artists often tailored their work or had it tailored for them, in some cases seriously complicating assumptions about artistic authorship and originality. Ott’s study is social art history at its best.’ Alan C. Braddock, Ralph H. Wark Associate Professor of Art History & American Studies, College of William & Mary Through the example of Central Pacific Railroad executives, Manufacturing the Modern Patron in Victorian California redirects attention from the usual art historical protagonists – artistic producers – and rewrites narratives of American art from the unfamiliar vantage of patrons and collectors. This book addresses not only readers in the art history and visual and material cultures of the United States, but also scholars of patronage studies, American Studies, and the sociology of culture. It tells a story still relevant to this new Gilded Age of the early twenty-first century, in which wealthy collectors dramatically shape contemporary art markets and institutions.

Alexandra Stara, Kingston University, UK The first volume in two centuries on Alexandre Lenoir’s Museum of French Monuments in Paris, this study presents a comprehensive picture of a seminal project of French Revolutionary cultural policy, one crucial to the development of the modern museum institution. The book offers a new critical perspective of the Museum’s importance and continuing relevance to the history of material culture and collecting, through juxtaposition with its main opponent, the respected connoisseur and theorist Quatremère de Quincy. This innovative approach highlights the cultural and intellectual context of the debate, situating it in the dilemmas of emerging modernity, the idea of nationhood, and changing attitudes to art and its histories.

While the aesthetics of color is duly taken into account, the focus is on color production – technology transfer, monopolies, labor regimes, and economies of exchange. The authors make clear that the substances of color production, such as arsenic, mercury, urine, and dung, are as important as the dazzling colors they produced.

At the core of the study are three major collectors: Enrico (Henri) Cernuschi, Emile Guimet, and Edmond de Goncourt, whose practices are analyzed to illuminate a larger history of East-West contact. The book takes an original approach that includes such overlooked issues as the impact of monetary histories and theories on European collections of Asian objects; the somatics of travel; collecting, writing, and display as polymorphous narratives of identity.

Museums, Collecting and Material Culture The Postcolonial Museum
Travel, Tourism and Art
The Arts of Memory and the Pressures of History
Edited by Tijana Rakic, Edinburgh Napier University, UK and Jo-Anne Lester, University of Brighton, UK
Edited by Iain Chambers, Alessandra De Angelis, Celeste Ianniciello, Mariangela Orabona and Michaela Quadraro all at Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘L’Orientale’, Italy
Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism
‘Long overdue, here is a volume that updates and reconfigures the intersection of postcolonial critique with multiple interpretations of the museum and social praxis in globalisation. The Postcolonial Museum charts gaps, achievements and prospects in 20 chapters that re-interpret the connection of past and current imperialisms. Introducing a wealth of new voices, this is essential reading for anyone interested in curatorial practice and theory, modern and contemporary art, ethnography, museology and the interventionist potential of research in the humanities overall.’ Angela Dimitrakaki, University of Edinburgh, UK Transformation of museums from physical places to cultural spaces provides the opportunity to re-examine and reassess histories, sounds, voices, images, memories, bodies, expression and cultures previously repressed by the historical and traditional frames of Occidental thought. Developing the ‘postcolonial’ museum in an age of mass migrations, the internet and digital technologies requires new strategies and critical approaches which will renew and extend understandings of European citizenship and result in an inevitable re-evaluation of the concept of ‘modernity’ in a so-called globalised and multicultural world.
‘Rakic and Lester have brought together a timely compendium of resources. In fifteen disciplinarily-diverse essays, the reader will learn about the historical, theoretical, and aesthetic dimensions of travel and culture. The anthology demonstrates that tourism and the arts are inextricably linked. A must-have for anyone interested in understanding how leisure is both meaningful and meaning making.’ Laurie Beth Clark, University of Wisconsin, USA Focusing on the representations of ‘touristic’ places, locals, travellers and tourists in artworks; the role of travel and tourism in inspiring artists; as well as the role of art and artwork in imagining, experiencing and remembering places and motivating travel and tourism; this edited volume provides a space for an exploration of both historical and contemporary relationships between travel, tourism and art. Bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines and fields of study, this volume discusses a range of case studies across different art forms and locales.

The Image of Selling Edited by Louisa Iarocci, University of Washington, USA
www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781472415677
Re-imagining Heritage Interpretation Enchanting the Past-Future Russell Staiff, University of Western Sydney, Australia ‘Eschewing contemporary orthodoxy about the educational presentation of heritage, Staiff compellingly argues for personal, sensory, emotional, dialogic engagement with cultural sites so as to generate a far more meaningful, intense and memorable experience of place – with or without the products of professional heritage interpreters. The book will fascinate the entire heritage management field.’ Helaine Silverman, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
This book challenges traditional approaches to heritage interpretation and offers an alternative theoretical architecture to the current research and practice. Russell Staiff suggests that the dialogue between visitors and heritage places has been too focused on learning outcomes, and so heritage interpretation has become dominated by psychology and educational theory, and over-reliant on outdated thinking. Using his background as an art historian and experience teaching heritage and tourism courses, Russell Staiff weaves personal observation with theory in an engaging and lively way. He recognizes that the ‘digital revolution’ has changed forever the way that people interact with their environment and that a new approach is needed. This book will be of interest not only to students in heritage management, heritage tourism, heritage interpretation and museum studies, but also to museum professionals responsible for interpretation programmes.

Women and the Material Culture of Death Edited by Maureen Daly Goggin, Arizona State University, USA and Beth Fowkes Tobin, University of Georgia, USA ‘...is a book that is at once ambitious, compelling and poignant. The nineteen, cross-disciplinary, generously illustrated essays that comprise this collection reveal the hidden history of women’s role in mourning the dead through a range of material practices from the early modern period to the present. As such, this book offers a vital contribution to the fields of gender and material culture studies as well as to the history of death. More than that, in an age in which the business of dying has been thoroughly commercialized, its analysis of the lives of women of the past offers us new ways of imagining our responses to death in the future.’ Jennie Batchelor, University of Kent, UK Examining the compelling and often poignant connection between women and the material culture of death, this collection looks at the objects women make, the images they keep, the practices they use or are responsible for, and the places they inhabit and construct through ritual and custom. Women’s material practices are explored as well as women’s affective responses and sentimental labor that mark their expected and unexpected participation in the social practices surrounding death and the dead.
