Bloomsbury Publishing USA Translating Warhol
Book SynopsisThe first study of the translations of Andy Warhol''s writing and ideas, Translating Warhol reveals how translation has alternately censored, exposed, or otherwise affected the presentation of his political and social positions and attitudes and, in turn, the value we place on his art and person.Andy Warhol is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, and a vast global literature about Warhol and his work exists. Yet almost nothing has been written about the role of translations of his words in his international reputation. Translating Warhol fills this gap, developing the topic in multiple directions and in the context of the reception of Warhol's work in various countries. The numerous translations of Warhol's writings, words, and ideas offer a fertile case study of how American art was, and is, viewed from the outside. Both historical and theoretical aspects of translation are taken up, and individual chapters discuss French, Ge

Academic Studies Press Embattled Avant-Gardes: Modernism’s Resistance to
Book SynopsisThis sweeping work, at once a panoramic overview and an ambitious critical reinterpretation of European modernism, provides a bold new perspective on a movement that defined the cultural landscape of the early twentieth century. Walter L. Adamson embarks on a lucid, wide-ranging exploration of the avant-garde practices through which the modernist generations after 1900 resisted the rise of commodity culture as a threat to authentic cultural expression. Taking biographical approaches to numerous avant-garde leaders, Adamson charts the rise and fall of modernist aspirations in movements and individuals as diverse as Ruskin, Marinetti, Kandinsky, Bauhaus, Purism, and the art critic Herbert Read. In conclusion, Adamson rises to the defense of the modernists, suggesting that their ideas are relevant to current efforts to think through what it might mean to create a vibrant, aesthetically satisfying form of cultural democracy.

Oxford University Press Corpus of AngloSaxon Stone Sculpture Volume VI Northern Yorkshire
Book SynopsisThe rich and diverse visual heritage of Northern Yorkshire in the pre-Conquest period is revealed in this major addition to the much-admired Corpus series. This volume surveys the sculpture in the historic North Riding of Yorkshire (excluding those parts already covered in Volume III). The total of some 400 carvings include important pre-Viking Age monuments, such as the crosses at Croft, Easby and Masham. The excavated sculpture from Whitby Abbey include a range of inscriptions which form crucial epigraphical evidence for our understanding of the pre-Conquest monastery. But Anglo-Scandinavian monuments predominate, with major collections at Brompton, Kirklevington and Lythe. A number of workshops have been identified and it was in this area that the hogback recumbent memorial first appeared. Much of the Anglian sculpture has stylistic connections with western Yorkshire and Mercia, and the wider connections with Europe are manifest in the iconography and styles of the great crosses at Trade ReviewThere is much to be appreciated in this volume. The summary of earlier research relating to the area is both informed and informative ... The evident care and determination with which distinguished scholars have brought this volume through to publication is due testimony to the great respect in which James Lang's memory is held. Yet this book is more than just a tribute. Alongside the sculptures themselves, it is a monumental collection of scholarship that future generations can continue to study and learn from, with growing respect for those who went before them whose hands produced it. * Archaeological Journal *... forms a fine memorial to Lang's life work as a teacher and scholar ... Northern Yorkshire is not only work well completed, but work which will continue to influence understanding of the rich corpus of Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture. * Journal of Ecclesiastical History *... a work of immense value ... continue[s] the high standards already set by the British Academy Corpus. * Northern History *Like its predecessors this volume provides a firm foundation for numerous research projects. * YAJ (Journal of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society) *... produced to the usual high standards set by this series with a superb set of photographs and authoritative catalogue entries covering the discovery of the stones, description of the sculpture and its geology, with a discussion and bibliography for each stone. There are also introductory essays on the regional geology by John Senior and the inscriptions by John Higgitt. * YAJ (Journal of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society) *This tremendous addition to the British Academy's Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture is a fitting tribute to James Lang. * YAJ (Journal of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society) *

Oxford University Press Scottish Coins in the National Museums of Scotland Edinburgh Part I
Book SynopsisThis full illustrated catalogue will become the standard reference work for Scottish coins of the middle and later sixteenth century, which include some of the most beautiful coins ever minted in Britain. The collection at the National Museums of Scotland is undoubtedly the largest and most comprehensive public collection of this series in the world. The volume covers the period which commenced with the innovations of James V''s second coinage in 1526 and concluded with the last of James VI''s issues prior to the Union of the Crowns and the consequent harmonisation of the Scottish and English coinages. It therefore includes all the issues of the period during which the Scottish precious metal coinage reached its apogee in terms of artistic excellence and Renaissance-inspired design. Paradoxically, this was also a time during which poor quality, base metal, coins were minted in enormous quantities. Every coin of the period in the NMS collections is described; every gold and silver pieceTrade Review...an exemply piece of work. * D.M. Metcalf, The English Historical Review *
