Cambridge University Press The Architecture in Giottos Paintings
Book SynopsisThis book offers an analysis of Giotto''s painted architecture, focusing on issues of structural logic, clarity of composition, and its role within the narrative of the painting. Giotto was the first artist since antiquity to feature highly-detailed architecture in a primary role in his paintings. Francesco Benelli demonstrates how architecture was used to create pictorial space, one of Giotto''s key inventions. He argues that Giotto''s innovation was driven by a new attention to classical sources, including low reliefs, mosaics, mural paintings, coins, and Roman ruins. The book shows how Giotto''s images of fictive buildings, as well as portraits of well-known monuments, both ancient and contemporary, play an important role in the overall narrative, iconography, and meaning of his works. The conventions established by Giotto remained at the heart of early modern Italian painting until the sixteenth century.Trade Review'Benelli argues well …' The Art NewspaperTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The cycle of the Legend of San Francis in the upper church of Assisi; 2. The Enrico Scrovegni chapel in Padua; 3. The Peruzzi and Bardi chapels in the church of Santa Croce in Florence; 4. The lower church of Assisi; 5. Giotto's influence in the lower church of Assisi and the church of Santa Croce in Florence; 6. Excursus; Conclusion.

The University of Chicago Press Monet and His Muse Camille Monet in the Artists
Book SynopsisInterweaving biographical insight with psychoanalytic criticism, this title takes us on an exploration of Claude Monet's (1840-1926), conflicted relationships with women.Trade Review"Monet and His Muse is a highly original work of impeccable scholarship, not only because it provides the first thorough and penetrating psychobiographical portrait of the artist, but also because of its unusual focus on the profound role that the painter's first wife played in his life and art.... This book simply represents the crowning achievement of our country's best psychobiographer of figures in the visual arts." - Bradley I. Collins, Parsons, the New School for Design"

University of Chicago Press Treasuring the Gaze
Book SynopsisThe end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes that were exchanged by lovers or family members. Unearthing these portraits, the author proposes that the rage for eye miniatures - and their abrupt disappearance - reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision.Trade Review"Hanneke Grootenboer has fixed her art-historical gaze on a largely overlooked category of visual representation: the late eighteenth-century miniature eye portrait. Precious gifts of love and mementos of loss, the tiny portraits of individual eyes open onto a cultural archive of affective behaviors and practices of seeing that would otherwise remain largely invisible. Treasuring the Gaze stands as a revelatory new chapter in the history of visuality and visual culture." (Lisa Saltzman, Bryn Mawr College)"

MIT Press Ltd Arthur Dove A Retrospective The MIT Press
Book SynopsisIn collaboration with William C. Agee and Elizabeth Hutton Turner The American artist Arthur Dove (1880-1946), purportedly the first artist to have produced an abstract painting, has always occupied a central place in writings on early American modernism. This book accompanies the first major exhibition on Dove since 1974. The exhibition, organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art and the Phillips Collection, covers the period from 1908, the year after Dove took up painting, through 1946, the year of his death. It is comprised of approximately eighty paintings, collages, pastels, and charcoal drawings. Along with Georgia O'Keeffe and John Marin, Dove was touted for more than three decades by photographer and dealer Alfred Stieglitz as an American original, one whose work was prescient in its opposition to the materialism of a newly industrialized America. Essays by Balken, Agee, and Turner discuss Dove's interactions with Stieglitz and others in his circle, including O'Keeffe, Ma

Penguin Putnam Inc The Artists Handbook of Materials and Techniques
Book SynopsisSince 1940, when it was originally published, The Artist''s Handbook has been indispensable for thousands of practicing artists and art students. The book has remained continuously in print through many editions and has some more than a quarter of a million copies.

With the assistance of Mayer''s widow, Bena, and his colleagues, Viking and Steven Sheehan, Director of the Ralph Mayer Center at Yale University, have prepared this latest revision of the book, which is now completely updated and expanded. The Handbook does retain its original, user-friendly format. Mayer intended that this encyclopedic volume be referred to frequently, and he therefore gave specific, practica
