ART, MEDIA, AND DESIGN

From Chicago

Elizabeth Catlett

A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies

“Brilliantly illustrates how Catlett immersed herself in the formal and political possibilities of sculpture, drawing, painting, and printmaking.

. . . this catalog is not only a gripping critical over view of Catlett’s impact on global art and activism —it is a necessary contribution to the rich, global genealogy of radical Black art histories. Catlett reminds us that identity alone doesn’t make one revolutionary; actions in pursuit of our shared liberation are just as crucial.”—Hyperallergic

Seeing Baya

Portrait of an Algerian Artist in Paris

Kaplan

“Self‑taught Algerian artist Baya Mahieddine has been getting more attention than ever, and her personal story is part of the reason we can’t get enough of her. While her art is vibrant and eludes easy characterization, her story is the stuff of legend in our biography‑obsessed age. . . . If you think this is enticing, then you’ll love this volume that tells her story, which intersects with what feels like every sphere of French intellectual life in the twentieth century.”—Hyperallergic

The Attractions of the Moving Image

Essays on History, Theory, and the Avant-Garde

Tom Gunning

“If only for his preface and for Dan Morgan’s introduction, The Attractions of the Moving Image will confirm Gunning’s place in America’s pantheon of film scholars. For these two texts make sense of a spate of superb essays that struck us one by one over a long career. Now, lined up and organized, these gems reflect light off each other, accumulating such energy that the cinema in toto seems to glow. Gunning the essayist who always celebrated mutability stands before us in this splendid book as immutable.”—Dudley Andrew, Yale University

Toi Te Mana

An Indigenous History of Māori Art

Deidre Brown and Ngarino Ellis, with Jonathan Mane-Wheoki

“This book sets out to recalibrate the history of Māori art. . . . The deployment of tribal traditions, stories, chants, and whakataukī to introduce chap ters and sections draws together many different strands to create a layered landscape and whakapa pa of the arts. It is a great read.”—Maia Nuku (Ngai Tai), curator of Oceanic art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Woven Histories

Textiles and Modern Abstraction

Edited by Lynne Cooke

“The sheer variety of work produced by more than fifty artists chosen by the book’s editor, Lynne Cooke, will knock your socks off. (Just wait till you see what’s happening in the field of basketry alone.) So will the visual imaginations of individual geniuses we already know like Anni Albers, Ruth Asawa, Gego, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks, and the others we’re introduced to here.”

In the Shadow of Empire

Art in Occupied Japan

Alicia Volk

“A rich and revealing account of Japanese visual arts in the decade after the end of World War II, this strongly argued study follows artists as they navigated their own, often sudden, transition from war to peace in the double shadow of the defeated Japanese and ascendant American empires. Focusing on figures frequently neglected in the West‑inflected art‑historical narrative, the book contrib utes a fresh perspective both to art history and to post war Japanese history as a whole. Fascinating.”

Interstices

Negotiations at Contemporary Art’s Boundaries

Alexander Alberro

Engages decolonial theory to explore the dynamic exchanges that occur where the ideals and values of different artistic frameworks meet. Alberro brings into focus the complex negotiations that are cultivating inno vation and transformation at the margins of Western art, showing how this seemingly monolithic framework is both crucial to and insufficient for a comprehensive understanding of contemporary art.

Painting US Empire

Nineteenth-Century Art and Its Legacies

Maggie M. Cao

“The material Cao discusses in Painting US Empire and the arguments she formulates about this material are truly compelling. She draws equally, and impressively, on the form of her objects of study and on archival and histori cal records, which she mines with great rigor and acuity. This is an important and original work of scholarship.”

Painting as a Way of Life

Philosophy and Practice in French Art, 1620–1660

Richard Neer

“Painting as a Way of Life is at once a major transformative study of Poussin and other seventeenth‑century French artists, and a vital book for art and intellectual historians. Neer rejects the retrojection of divisions between theory and practice, philosophy, and artisanship onto seventeenth‑ century French painters, showing instead how to look at the interrelationship of painting as both practice and phi losophy.”—Matthew L. Jones, Princeton University

Collective Body

Aleksandr Deineka at the Limit of Socialist Realism

Christina Kiaer

“Collective Body is a tour de force: at once a history of a single artist, of Soviet art practice in the 1930s—and of Soviet culture more broadly. Kiaer writes with ease and sophistication, using brilliant close readings of artworks to illuminate her social and historical con text in new ways. This is scholarship of a very high order.”—Emma Widdis, University of Cambridge

Soviet Factography

Reality without Realism

Devin Fore

“[Fore reveals] a fascinating array of original strategies to record a world turned upside down. We follow all manner of ‘factographic’ authors and artists as they scramble to register the revolution as immediately as possible. . . . This riveting study of ‘reality in revolution’ pressures our understanding of both terms; it also shows us how a reordering of any society involves a refashioning of its individuals. . . . Fore thus reclaims a lost period of tre mendous innovation.”—The Chronicle of Higher Education , “The Best Scholarly Books of 2024”

El Lissitzky on Paper

Print Culture, Architecture, Politics, 1919–1933

Samuel Johnson

“El Lissitzky on Paper presents a significant contribution to the scholarship on Lissitzky, Constructivism, and Soviet art and architecture. Among its strengths are the book’s deep archival research and presentations—often for the first time—of material pertaining to Lissitzky’s career. Introducing reams of new material and fresh analyses, Johnson works to revise the long‑held narrative on the relationship between pragmatism and utopianism in the historical avant‑garde.”—Noam Elcott, author of Artificial Darkness: An Obscure History of Modern Art and Media

Pow! Right in the Eye!

Thirty Years behind the Scenes of Modern French Painting

Berthe Weill

Edited by Lynn Gumpert

Translated by William Rodarmor

“Written in French punny slang, and admirably translat ed by Rodarmor . . . one is reminded that translators have an important, and under explored, role to play in current art market studies, introducing narratives and histori cal characters to wider, critical audiences, and thereby enabling an enriched pan European and trans Atlantic narrative.”—The Modernist Review

Temporary Monuments

Art, Land, and America’s Racial Enterprise

Rebecca Zorach

“Both theoretically sophisticated and passion ate, Temporary Monuments shows the power of art to imagine a truly decolonized American landscape, in which temporary ‘place holding’ replaces monumental takeovers. Zorach convincingly uncovers how complic ity in American histories of oppression and racialized violence can hide behind love of nature, urban renewal, and abstraction, but also how artistic interventions by Black and Indigenous practitioners dismantle long‑held assumptions about the past, present, and future of what we call home.”—Mechtild Widrich, author of Performative Monuments and Monumental Cares

Risk Work

Making Art and Guerrilla Tactics in Punitive America, 1967–1987

“Risk Work is a masterful rethinking of US contem porary art since the 1960s, revealing how ‘guerrilla tactics’ constituted an interface between conceptu al and performance‑based art and the state’s inten sified expansion of racialized policing. Gleisser offers a complex and theoretically rigorous model for historical research wherein state documents speak of the arts, just as the history of state‑ sanctioned violence can be found in artists’ archival papers.”—Chon Noriega, editor, A Ver: Revisioning Art History book series

Chicago Reflected

A Skyline Drawing from the Chicago River

Ryan Chester

“Intricate and obsessive. . . . [Dyja’s essay] places Chester’s remarkably detailed gray‑and‑white sketching into a lineage of artists who unveiled the scope of the city, from Jules Guerin’s dream of a future Chicago for Daniel Burnham to Franklin McMahon’s sketches of Chicago courtrooms and street scenes for magazines and Chicago newspa pers.”—The Chicago Tribune

LeRoy Neiman

The Life of America’s Most Beloved and Belittled Artist

Travis Vogan

“LeRoy Neiman wanted to be taken seriously as an artist, and it troubled him that he never really was. With this well‑researched, insightful, and clear‑eyed biography, Vogan has righted that wrong. This isn’t the adulatory book Neiman would have commissioned during his life, but anyone who takes art seriously—as he did—under stands that there’s no greater sign of respect than to reveal one’s subject for what it is. That’s just what Vogan has done for Neiman and his work in these pages.”

This book is an essential text for the emerging field of critical access studies and architectural studies of disability more broadly.”
