 Art History & Criticism
Art of Renaissance Florence,
1400–1600
Loren Partridge
In this absorbing illustrated history, Loren Partridge takes the
reader on a tour of Renaissance Florence and sheds new light on
its celebrated art and culture by examining the city’s great archi-
tectural and artistic achievements in their political, intellectual,
and religious contexts. This text, the only up-to-date volume on
Renaissance Florence currently available, incorporates insights
from recent scholarship, including gender studies, while empha-
sizing the artists’ social status, rivalries, and innovations. The
result is a multilevel exploration of how the Florentine culture
formally registers in specific works of art or architecture and
how these works informed and often shaped the culture.
“An extraordinarily useful
“Clear and compelling. The well-chosen illustrations include
ground plans and diagrams of key architectural monuments and book, not only for teachers,
sculpture. The updated, judicious bibliography is a resource for but also for historically
anyone tackling the vast scholarship on the art of Renaissance minded travelers.”

Color Creates Light

Studies with Hans Hofmann
Tina Dickey
Color Creates Light: Studies with Hans Hofmann brings to life
an astonishing era during which Hans Hofmann (1880-1966),
renowned painter and master teacher, encouraged the develop-
ment of some of the most significant artists and educators of the
time. Tina Dickey’s absorbing account, illustrated with archival
photographs and animated by interviews with former students,
allows readers the ultimate privilege: to listen as artists talk shop,
discussing how Hofmann taught and what he taught—the inner
workings of visual language.

Learning Mind
Experience into Art
Edited by Mary Jane Jacob and Jacquelynn Baas
How is art conceived, created, and experienced? How is it
taught? How does the act of viewing a work make the viewer
part of that work? Learning Mind: Experience Into Art addresses
these questions as it documents the changing practices in the
making, teaching, and exhibition of art. Timely, multifaceted,
and instructive, this groundbreaking volume explores the con-
temporary art experience and its expanding presence in society
through lively essays, revealing interviews, and provocative
conversations with some of the most influential artists and
educators of our time.
“Jacob and Baas have gathered together an exceptional group of “The editors have brilliantly

Painting Harlem Modern
The Art of Jacob Lawrence
Patricia Hills
Jacob Lawrence was one of the best-known African American
artists of the twentieth century. In Painting Harlem Modern,
Patricia Hills assesses Lawrence’s long and productive career,
arguing that his complex, cubist-based paintings developed out
of a vital connection with a modern Harlem filled with artists,
writers, musicians, and social activists. She also uniquely posi-
tions Lawrence alongside such important African American
writers as Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison.
Drawing from a wide range of archival materials and interviews
with artists, Hills interprets Lawrence’s art as distilled from a
life of struggle and perseverance.
“A long overdue study that will likely become the definitive work
on this seminal figure in American art.”—Mary Ann Calo,
Colgate University

Monument Wars
Washington, D.C., the National Mall, and the
Transformation of the Memorial Landscape
Kirk Savage
Kirk Savage tells the National Mall’s engrossing story—its
historic plan, the structures that populate its corridors, and the
sea change it reveals regarding national representation. Savage’s
lively analysis traces the refocusing of the monuments them-
selves, from that of a single man, often on horseback, to com-
memorations of common soldiers or citizens; and from monu-
ments that celebrate victory and heroism to memorials honoring
victims. This indispensable guide to the National Mall provides
a fresh and fascinating perspective on over two hundred years of
American history.

Pictures for Use and Pleasure

Vernacular Painting in High Qing China
James Cahill
James Cahill significantly expands the field of Chinese picto-
rial art history with the first scholarly account of paintings for
“use and pleasure.” These functional, so-called vernacular works
were produced by professional urban artists for affluent patrons,
from the end of the Ming through the Qianlong period—the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Traditional Chinese col-
lectors disparaged these works and favored the “literati” paint-
ings of upper-class amateurs. But today the often stunning
vernacular images add a strong visual dimension to our under-
standing of High Qing culture.
James Cahill is Professor Emeritus of Chinese Art at the Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley.

In Pursuit of Universalism
Yorozu Tetsugoro and Japanese Modern Art
Alicia Volk
In Pursuit of Universalism is the first comprehensive, English-
language study of early twentieth-century Japanese modern art.
In this groundbreaking work, which is also the inaugural recipi-
ent of the Phillips Book Prize (awarded by the Phillips Collection
Center for the Study of Modern Art), Alicia Volk constructs a
critical theory of artistic modernism in Japan between 1900 and
1930 by analyzing the work of Yorozu Tetsugorô, whose paintings
she casts as a polemic response to Japan’s late-nineteenth-century
encounter with European art.
“Broadens our understanding of the modernist moment and
captures its global program to unify art and life, contemporary
culture and history.”—Harry Harootunian, author of Overcome
by Modernity
Alicia Volk is Assistant Professor of Japanese Art History at the
University of Maryland.

Art Workers
Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era
Julia Bryan-Wilson
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, in response to the political
turbulence generated by the Vietnam War, an important group
of American artists and critics sought to expand the definition
of creative labor by identifying themselves as “art workers.” In
the first book to examine this movement, Julia Bryan-Wilson
shows how a polemical redefinition of artistic labor played a
central role in minimalism, process art, feminist criticism, and
conceptualism.

Cézanne’s Other
The Portraits of Hortense
Susan Sidlauskas
In the voluminous scholarship that’s been written on Paul
Cézanne, little has been said about the twenty-four por-
traits in oil that Cézanne made of his wife over an extended
twenty-year period. In Cézanne’s Other, Susan Sidlauskas
breaks new ground, focusing on these paintings as a group
and looking particularly at the differences that render many
of them unrecognizable as the same person. Sidlauskas
also upends the notion of Mme Cézanne as the irrelevant
and absent spouse and reveals Hortense Fiquet Cézanne
as a presence so crucial to the artist that she became the
essential “other” to his ever-evolving “self.”
“Sidlauskas gives us insights into new ways of perceiving
and depicting, ways nevertheless consistent with Cézanne’s
world.”—Richard Shiff, University of Texas at Austin
Susan Sidlauskas is Associate Professor and Gradu-
ate Director of the Department of Art History at Rutgers
University.

Picasso and Apollinaire
The Persistence of Memory
Peter Read
Pablo Picasso, the inventor of Cubism, and Guillaume Apol-
linaire, the inventor of Surrealism, met in 1905, forged a close
friendship, and between them laid the foundations of modern-
ism in twentieth-century art and literature. Apollinaire’s death in
1918 did not diminish his importance to Picasso, who continued
to draw on the poet for inspiration until his own death in 1973.
Peter Read shows that many of Picasso’s subsequent drawings,
paintings, and sculptures were shaped by his response to the
poet’s most lyrical and uninhibited writing.

Philip Guston
Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations
Philip Guston
Edited by Clark Coolidge, with an Introduction by Dore Ashton
This is the premier collection of dialogues, talks, and writings by
Philip Guston (1913–1980). Over the course of his life, Guston’s
wide reading in literature and philosophy deepened his commit-
ment to his art—from his early Abstract Expressionist paintings
to his later gritty, intense figurative works. This collection, with
many pieces appearing in print for the first time, lets us hear
Guston’s voice—as the artist delivers a lecture on Renaissance
painting, instructs students in a classroom setting, and discusses
such artists and writers as Piero della Francesca, de Chirico,
Picasso, Kaf ka, Beckett, and Gogol.
Clark Coolidge has published many volumes of poetry and a
collaboration with Philip Guston, Baffling Means. Dore Ashton
is Professor of Art History at the Cooper Union.

Telling Stories
Philip Guston’s Later Works
David Kaufmann
David Kaufmann focuses on Philip Guston’s controversial works
of the late 1960s and 1970s and clarifies the narratives that
underlie these provocative paintings. Guston, best known during
the 1950s for strictly abstract work, shocked the art world in 1970
when he began to show figurative depictions of what looked like
members of the Ku Klux Klan. Kaufmann looks at the early criti-
cal reception of these works—largely dismissive—and compares
it to the critics’ discussions of them a decade later, when Pop
art, allegory, and politically explicit works had not only become
acceptable but were the new vogue.
David Kaufmann is Associate Professor of English at George
Mason University.

Selected Works
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
Edited and with an Introduction by Constance M. Lewallen
With an essay by Ed Park
In her radical exploration of cultural and personal identity, the
writer and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha sought “the roots of
language before it is born on the tip of the tongue.” This stun-
ning selection of her uncollected and hitherto unpublished work
at last brings together Cha’s writings and text-based pieces with
images spanning the period between 1976 and 1980 and attests
to the singular literary achievement of a major figure in late–
twentieth century art.
“Conceptual, poetic, visual, these writings are radical and subtle
responses to the artistic context of their time.”—Elvan Zabunyan,
author of Black Is a Color
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951-1982) was born in Pusan, Korea,
and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University
of California, Berkeley. She was a poet, filmmaker, and artist. In
1982, Cha was murdered by a stranger in New York City, just a
few days after the original publication of Dictée. Constance M.
Lewallen is Adjunct Curator at the Berkeley Art Museum and

Figures of Speech
Picturing Proverbs in Renaissance Netherlands
Walter S. Gibson
Figures of Speech addresses a key topic in Renaissance studies: the
importance and pervasiveness of proverbs. For sixteenth-century
Netherlanders, proverbs revealed the wisdom of the Ancients as
well as the linguistic richness of their own native language; for
Pieter Bruegel, Hieronymus Bosch, and other Renaissance paint-
ers, proverbs were a frequent subject. In this book, Walter S.
Gibson provides a comprehensive survey of these visual represen-
tations, capturing for twenty-first-century readers the moral sen-
sibilities of a time and culture when such adages (and the images
conveying their meaning) were invaluable guides to life.

Walter L. Adamson
This sweeping work, at once a panoramic overview and an ambi-

landscape of the early twentieth century. Walter L. Adamson
takes biographical approaches to numerous avant-garde leaders
and embarks on a lucid exploration of the avant-garde practices
through which the modernists after 1900 resisted the rise of
commodity culture as a threat to authentic cultural expression.

The Pilgrim Art

Cultures of Porcelain in World History
Robert Finlay
Illuminating one thousand years of history, The Pilgrim Art
explores the remarkable cultural influence of Chinese porcelain
around the globe. Cobalt ore was shipped from Persia to China in
the fourteenth century, where it was used to decorate porcelain
for Muslims in Southeast Asia, India, Persia, and Iraq. Spanish
galleons delivered porcelain to Peru and Mexico while aristo-
crats in Europe ordered tableware from Canton. The book tells
the fascinating story of how porcelain became a vehicle for the
transmission and assimilation of artistic symbols, themes, and
designs across vast distances—from Japan and Java to Egypt and
England.

In September of 1976, a curtain of shimmering white was
unfurled across the hills of rural northern California, starting in
Sonoma County and running unbroken for 25 miles until it ended
in the sea. The artistic vision of Christo and Jeanne-Claude—
known collectively as the Christos—Running Fence was 18 feet
high and traversed the private properties of 59 ranchers. Although
it remained in place for just two weeks, the process of planning
it consumed nearly four years. This beautiful book, companion
volume to the exhibit of the same name, tells the complete story of
this legendary art installation. Illustrated throughout with graphic

Twilight Visions
Surrealism and Paris
Therese Lichtenstein
With contributions by Julia Kelly, Colin Jones, and Whitney Chadwick
Through an examination of Surrealist photographs, objects,
exhibitions, activities, and writings, the essays in Twilight
Visions, the beautifully illustrated companion volume to the
exhibition of the same name, portray Paris as a city in meta-
morphosis, in a kind of twilight state and reflect the tumultu-
ous social and cultural transformations occurring in Paris in
the 1920s and 1930s.
“Enhanced by extraordinary imagery and extensive notes.”
—Mary Ann Caws, author of The Surrealist Look

Home Lands
How Women Made the West
Virginia Scharff and Carolyn Brucken
The storybook history of the American West is a male-dominated
narrative that relegates women to the distant background. Home
Lands: How Women Made the West, companion volume to the
Autry National Center’s pathbreaking exhibit, upends this view to
remember the West as a place of homes and habitations brought
into being by the women who lived there. Virginia Scharff and
Carolyn Brucken explore the ways in which women encountered
and transformed the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico, the
Front Range of Colorado, and the Puget Sound waterscape.
“Sweeping, nicely written, briskly paced, accessible.”
—Ramón Gutiérrez, author of When Jesus Came the Corn
Mothers Went Away
Virginia Scharff is Professor of History at the University of New
Mexico, Women of the West Chair at the Autry National Center’s
Institute for the Study of the American West, and President of

“A compelling analysis of California on the Breadlines
how Lange’s and Taylor’s Dorothea Lange, Paul Taylor, and the
work grew out of their Making of a New Deal Narrative

shared social concerns.” Jan Goggans

Terry Beers, author of Gunfight

California on the Breadlines is the compelling account of how
Dorothea Lange, the Great Depression’s most famous photog-
at Mussel Slough
rapher, and Paul Taylor, her labor economist husband, forged a
relationship that was private—they both divorced spouses to be
together—collaborative, and richly produc-
tive. Together they documented the plight of
California’s dispossessed, culminating in the
publication of their landmark book, American
Exodus. Jan Goggans shows how American
Exodus set forth a new way of understanding
the economic disaster in California and ulti-
mately informed the way we think about the
Great Depression itself.
Jan Goggans is Assistant Professor of Litera-
ture at the University of California, Merced.

In Sight of America
Photography and the Development of U.S. Immigration Policy
Anna Pegler-Gordon
When restrictive immigration laws were introduced in the late-
nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, they involved new
requirements for photographing and documenting immigrants
—regulations for visually inspecting race and health. This work is
the first to take a comprehensive look at the history of immigration
policy in the United States through the prism of visual culture.
Including many previously unpublished images, and taking a new
look at Lewis Hine’s photographs, Anna Pegler-Gordon considers
the role and uses of visual documentation at Angel Island for Chi-
nese immigrants, at Ellis Island for European immigrants, and on
the U.S.–Mexico border.
“A significant intervention in the histories of photography and of
immigration.”—David Roediger, author of How Race Survived U.S.
History
Anna Pegler-Gordon is Associate Professor of History and Asian
American Studies at Michigan State University.
