HarperCollins Publishers Inc Krazy George Herriman a Life in Black and White
Book SynopsisTrade Review“One of the many virtues of Michael Tisserand’s richly illustrated biography of George Herriman, the creator of “Krazy Kat,” is its evocation of the early 20th-century newspaper world from which it sprang.” — Wall Street Journal “Essential reading for comics fans and history buffs, Krazy is a roaring success, providing an indispensable new perspective on turn-of-the-century America.” — Kirkus (starred) “Who was the man behind “Krazy Kat”? This fascinating biography and guide to the work of the cartoonist, who passed for white, tells the full story.” — New York Times “Tisserand … has written the rarest kind of book: scholarship that is accessible and captivating, genuinely fun to read. His prose sparkles, smooth and flowing, rich with metaphor and invention.” — Chicago Tribune “... one of the year’s best biographies.” — Boston Globe “Krazy, so rich in anecdote and so warm in affection, succeeds in adding a good deal to the wonder of George Herriman’s legacy – mainly by putting the artist in last place on Earth he liked to be: in the spotlight, center stage.” — Christian Science Monitor “It’s one of the best true stories told in 2016.” — Philadelphia Inquirer “... engaging, revealing…. Herriman’s adventures in newspapering in the early years of the 20th century are alone worth the price of the book.... Whether you’re a longtime Krazy Kat fan, as I am, or a new acquaintance, this biography will enrich your knowledge of the Kat and its creator.” — Tampa Bay Times “Perhaps no one in his field is as deserving of a top-notch, in-depth biography as Herriman. And with Michael Tisserand’s Krazy we now have a most valuable, studiously researched, and, indeed, definitive profile of the man that does him full justice.” — Print “Herriman’s delight in anarchic transformation and gentle subversion had personal roots, as Michael Tisserand reveals in this scrupulously researched, luminously written and eye-opening biography.” — The Times Literary Supplement “A visionary strip. Who drew it, and wherefrom? Tisserand’s robust research illuminates, without diminishing, the mystery.” — Roy Blount Jr. “An athletic feat of scholarship and an effort of love—like one of Ignatz’s bricks to the head. Tisserand’s immaculately researched and super-readable biography captures the madcap modernist Herriman and the weird America of surreal racial realities and publishing superpowers that shaped his revolutionary art.” — Hillary Chute “George Herriman was a poet in a new visual language. As a man, he was an enigma to match his greatest creation, the sublime Krazy Kat. Michael Tisserand has done a masterful job of illuminating this life lived in the shadowy borderlands of racial identity; along the way he also gives a brilliant overview of the golden years of American cartooning. Krazy is a monumental work of biography about a true American genius.” — Tom Piazza “This is a gripping read at the intersection of pop culture and American history.” — Publisher’s Weekly “An absorbing study of a genius with a secret.” — New Orleans Times-Picayune “Rich in original research, New Orleans writer Tisserand’s encyclopedia biography of Krazy Kat artist George Herriman is also an enlightening history of modern comic strips.” — Shelf Awareness “Tisserand presents a well-researched, engaging biography of George Herriman (1880-1944), creator of the comic strip Krazy Kat.... At every step, this work brilliantly re-creates the milieu of its subject’s life by shading in the historical context. A significant book for comics scholars and those interested in tracing Herriman’s development from novice to master of the medium.” — Paul Steins, Library Journal

University of Illinois Press Pretty Good for a Girl
Book SynopsisThe first book devoted entirely to women in bluegrass, this book documents the lives of more than seventy women whose vibrant contributions to the development of bluegrass have been overlooked.Trade ReviewDistinguished Achievement Award, International Bluegrass Musical Association (IBMA), 2015. "A ground-breaking biographical and cultural history."--Publishers Weekly "Henry guides the reader through an historical progression decade by decade, providing a detailed biography for a variety of well-known, lesser-known and obscure females who have devoted some of their lives to bluegrass music. Very highly recommended."--Bluegrass Europe"This impressive history of women in bluegrass clearly indicates women have been a big part of bluegrass since its earliest days, even when they were ignored by the media an fellow musicians. A much-needed addition to the bluegrass canon."--Booklist "A fascinating history of bluegrass music from a female musician's perspective. Wonderfully readable, brisk in its sweeping chronology of a huge topic, and filled with anecdotal gems that bring history to life, this is an enthralling and important book."--Thomas A. Adler, author of Bean Blossom: The Brown County Jamboree and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Festivals"This terrific book adds significantly to our knowledge of bluegrass music. Part reference and part impassioned argument, Pretty Good for a Girl is filled with extremely interesting narratives and has the firepower to become a great inspiration for a new generation of young women musicians."--Ellen Wright, coauthor (with Roni Stoneman) of Pressing On: The Roni Stoneman Story"A book that's been so needed, on a topic so neglected for so long."--Roots Watch"Determination and drive is a theme pervading this book: these women are significantly engaged in their music making, not as female bluegrass musicians but as bluegrass musicians in general. Highly recommended."--Choice"One of the most important bluegrass books that will be published this decade."--Bluegrass Today "This academically solid and emotionally moving work shows the price that was paid by so many women in creating not only their own place in bluegrass, but in shaping and taking the music to new venues and wider audiences. This work should be a highlight on any list of required books for many years to come, and should be read by everyone in bluegrass--women and men."--Bluegrass Unlimited "A massive, well-researched work that students of music and women's studies will find useful."--Library Journal "Murphy Hicks Henry gives voice to women performers and innovators throughout bluegrass's history."--Bluegrass Today "The humor and passion within Pretty Good for a Girl is evident. . . . [the] purpose is not only to show historical documentation of how bluegrass is not, in fact, a man's music; it's also to give young and current female musicians the determination and stories of women who have all bucked cultural resistance to follow their passions."--Boxx Magazine "Pretty Good for a Girl breaks new ground as a cultural history of women in bluegrass music. Henry also makes an important contribution to women's studies with her analysis of how women made their own way into what has historically been considered a male-dominated genre. Thanks to Henry, scholars can no longer talk about Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs without mentioning the women who also shaped the genre of bluegrass."--West Virginia History "Henry brings a plethora of biographical facts, band and performance histories, discographical data, and personal reflections together between two convenient and fairly-priced covers. As a beginning sourcebook and reference tool it has no peer."--Notes "The musical biographies in this book advance the study of bluegrass music. In addition, through her methods of interviewing and chapter organization, Henry makes a gender an important dimension of bluegrass history. The book plainly displays the role gender has played in bluegrass culture, and how bluegrass people have viewed their music and themselves."--Journal of Folklore Research

University of Illinois Press Life along the Illinois River
Book SynopsisA panoramic odyssey down the Illinois RiverTrade Review"A work of love ... this is a book you'll continue to be drawn to, irresistibly."--IllinoisTimes "Countless American landscapes languish in the shadows of such cherished icons as Zion, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, waiting patiently until someone like David Zalaznik comes along to search out their rhythms and beauties. The Illinois River is fortunate to have his attention, and we are the richer for what he has shown us."--Jim Richardson, photojournalist, National Geographic Society“David Zalaznik’s Life along the Illinois River artfully captures river life with an eye informed as much by the hallmarks of American painting as by the tenets of documentary photojournalism. His studies of abandoned civic buildings evoke the solemnity of an Edward Hopper painting, and his awe-inspiring glimpses of wildlife recall the ornithological studies of John James Audubon. The emblazoned skies and pastoral vistas found in landscape paintings of the Hudson River School reverberate throughout these breathtaking photographs. This collection epically depicts the coalescence of life and landscape in the Illinois River Valley, vividly creating a contemporary portrait of Mid-Americana.”--Bill Conger, artist and curator of University Galleries at Illinois State University“David Zalaznik’s photographs are nuanced, layered in tone as well as pictorial content. There is a richness to them, in the stories they tell and in their sensuous beauty. He has a clear eye, a sound vision, and a love for the river that is a source of life for the central Illinois valley. These lush photographs remind us of the river’s importance in our lives as a vital commercial link between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, a recreation site, a resource of drinking water and food, a nesting place for migrating birds, and a source of beauty, inspiration, and connection to our community’s past.”--Channy Lyons, author of Peoria Women Artists through 1970

MO - University of Illinois Press Bringing Aztlan to Mexican Chicago
Book Synopsis Bringing Aztlán to Mexican Chicago is the autobiography of Jóse Gamaliel González, an impassioned artist willing to risk all for the empowerment of his marginalized and oppressed community. Through recollections emerging in a series of interviews conducted over a period of six years by his friend Marc Zimmerman, González looks back on his life and his role in developing Mexican, Chicano, and Latino art as a fundamental dimension of the city he came to call home. Born near Monterey, Mexico, and raised in a steel mill town in northwest Indiana, González studied art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame. Settling in Chicago, he founded two major art groups: El Movimiento Artístico Chicano (MARCH) in the 1970s and Mi Raza Arts Consortium (MIRA) in the 1980s. With numerous illustrations, this book portrays González''s all-but-forgotten communiTrade Review"A fascinating personal and artistic odyssey. González's story is about community art and community organizing, how art informs politics, and, conversely, how politics informs art."--Victor Alejandro Sorell, University Distinguished Professor of Art History and Associate Dean, College of Arts & Sciences, Chicago State University "A unique contribution to the story of Latino arts. Bringing Aztlán to Mexican Chicago reveals a highly personal story of one participant's involvement in events that illuminate the difficulties, obstacles, and conflicts he experienced in the arts movement."--Theresa Delgadillo, assistant professor of comparative studies at Ohio State University "Gónzalez was a tireless and forceful artist-activist who struggled to promote Latino arts in the community and mainstream. His life story gives the reader a glipse into the rise of Latino popular art and politics. His autobiography fills a substantial gap in the cultural history of Chicago's Latino community."--Latino Studies "[Editor] Zimmerman has filled an important need to document the life and art of José González . . . . the story, politics, and images are an important part of the history of Chicago and of the Latino community there."--Studies in Latin American Popular Culture

MIT Press Ltd Framework Houses The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA new edition of the first book by photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, featuring framework houses of the Siegen region of Germany.Bernd and Hilla Becher have profoundly influenced the international photography world over the past several decades. Their unique genre, which falls somewhere between topological documentation and conceptual art, is in line with the aesthetics of such early-twentieth-century masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, Germaine Krull, Albert Renger-Patzsch, and August Sander. Framework Houses, their first and most famous book, was originally published in Germany in 1977 and quickly went out of print. This new edition of that classic work takes advantage of reproduction and printing technologies not available in 1977. Most of the houses in the book were built between 1870 and 1914 in the Siegen region of Germany, one of the oldest iron-producing areas of Europe. The houses were built by immigrants who came to work in the mines or blast furnac

MIT Press Ltd Twice Untitled and Other Pictures looking back
Book SynopsisWorks by one of the most important artists working in America today—photographs, collaborative projects, ephemeral objects, and trenchant and witty institutional critique.For the past two decades Louise Lawler has been taking photographs of art in situ, from small poignant black-and-white images of art in people's homes to large format glossy color pictures of art in museums and in auction houses. In addition she has produced a variety of objects—paperweights, etched drinking glasses, matchbooks, gallery announcements—all of which cleverly describe how art comes to accrue value as it moves through various systems of exchange. Lawler's oeuvre was essential in creating an expanded field for photography, it was crucial in postmodern debates over theories of representation, it remains indelible within the field of institutional critique, and it has always been trenchant and witty in its sustained commitment to a feminist vision of art, art history, and contempor

She took their cookware, their furniture, their photos, their decorations. She left Rafael alone in an empty all-white apartment. The only thing she didn't take was their bull terrier, whom she'd named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo.With only Jimmy for company, Rafael found inspiration in his blank walls and his best friend and started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. Then, when Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, on a whim Rafael grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, Rafael felt his long-dormant inspiration—for drawing, for art, for life—returning.The result?
