Cambridge University Press The Young Leonardo Art and Life in FifteenthCentury Florence
Book SynopsisLeonardo da Vinci is often presented as the 'transcendent genius', removed from or ahead of his time. This book, however, attempts to understand him in the context of Renaissance Florence. Larry J. Feinberg explores Leonardo's origins and the beginning of his career as an artist. While celebrating his many artistic achievements, the book illuminates his debt to other artists' works and his struggles to gain and retain patronage, as well as his career and personal difficulties. Feinberg examines the range of Leonardo's interests, including aerodynamics, anatomy, astronomy, botany, geology, hydraulics, optics, and warfare technology, to clarify how the artist's broad intellectual curiosity informed his art. Situating the artist within the political, social, cultural, and artistic context of mid- and late-fifteenth-century Florence, Feinberg shows how this environment influenced Leonardo's artistic output and laid the groundwork for the achievements of his mature works.Trade Review'Feinberg's work offers a nuanced, intelligent account of varied themes within the artist's early period. The text is insightful and thought provoking.' Choice'At last, we have a completely fresh and compelling look at the artist's early years. The Young Leonardo brilliantly places the artist in the context of contemporary Florentine culture and society while giving us fascinating new insights into his thought processes and observations on the subjects and meanings of even his most enigmatic works. A complex, demythologized appreciation of the man and his genius emerges from this wonderfully written book.' Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, authors of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Jackson Pollock and Van Gogh: A Life'Feinberg nicely interweaves biography, the implacable social milieu in fifteenth-century Italy and analysis of Leonardo's rapidly evolving paintings and drawings. Among the book's best features is its keen avoidance of idealizing puffery, which makes Leonardo's accomplishments under often difficult daily circumstances all that much more impressive.'

Cambridge University Press Michelangelos David
Book SynopsisThis book takes a new look at the interpretations of, and the historical information surrounding, Michelangelo''s David. New documentary materials discovered by Rolf Bagemihl add to the early history of the stone block that became the David and provide an identity for the painted terracotta colossus that stood on the cathedral buttresses for which Michelangelo''s statue was to be a companion. The David, with its placement at the Palazzo della Signoria, was deeply implicated in the civic history of Florence, where public nakedness played a ritual role in the military and in the political lives of its people. This book, then, places the David not only within the artistic history of Florence and its monuments but also within the popular culture of the period as well.Trade Review'Michelangelo's David is a valuable link in an ongoing chain of Michelangelo studies, and a detailed study of the extended history and ambiguity of the statue's historical, civic, political, and Christian connotations …' Joost Joustra, Oxford Art JournalTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy
Book SynopsisHow did maps of the distant reaches of the world communicate to the public in an era when exploration of those territories was still ongoing and knowledge about them remained incomplete? And why did Renaissance rulers frequently commission large-scale painted maps of those territories when they knew that they would soon be proven obsolete by newer, more accurate information? The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy addresses these questions by bridging the disciplines of art history and the histories of science, cartography, and geography to closely examine surviving Italian painted maps that were commissioned during a period better known for its printed maps and atlases. Challenging the belief that maps are strictly neutral or technical markers of geographic progress, this well-illustrated study investigates the symbolic and propagandistic dimensions of these painted maps as products of the competitive and ambitious European court culture that produced them.Trade Review'Mark Rosen's The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy: Painted Cartographic Cycles in Social and Intellectual Context struck us as the most original, most thoughtfully grounded in theory, best researched, and most beautifully written of the manuscripts.'

Cambridge University Press Public Painting and Visual Culture in Early Republican Florence
Book SynopsisStreet corners, guild halls, government offices, and confraternity centers contained paintings that made the city of Florence a visual jewel at precisely the time of its emergence as an international cultural leader. This book considers the paintings that were made specifically for consideration by lay viewers, as well as the way they could have been interpreted by audiences who approached them with specific perspectives. Their belief in the power of images, their understanding of the persuasiveness of pictures, and their acceptance of the utterly vital role that art could play as a propagator of civic, corporate, and individual identity made lay viewers keenly aware of the paintings in their midst. Those pictures affirmed the piety of the people for whom they were made in an age of social and political upheaval, as the city experimented with an imperfect form of republicanism that often failed to adhere to its declared aspirations.Trade Review'We learn, here, not only of works of art, but of the people of the Florentine Republic - of condemned criminals, prostitutes, merchants, government officials, guild members from the Arte della Lana and the Arte dei Giudici e Notai, laudesi, plague victims, the bishop and his entourage, the families of the newly baptized, and the would-be tyrant - and of how these and others lived lives shaped by images in an urban environment before the era of art.' Jonathan Kline, Renaissance QuarterlyTable of ContentsIntroduction: public painting for common people in early republican Florence, 1282–1434; 1. Paintings in the streets: tabernacles, public devotion, and control; 2. Images of charity: confraternities, hospitals, and pictures for the destitute; 3. Art and the commune: politics, propaganda, and the bureaucratic state; 4. Pictures for merchants: the guilds, their paintings, and the struggle for power; 5. Public painting in sacred spaces: piers and pilasters in Florentine churches; 6. Murals for the masses: paintings on nave walls; 7. Masaccio's Trinity and the triumph of public painting for common people in early republican Florence.

Cambridge University Press Painting War
Book SynopsisDuring the First World War the Australian Government established an official war art scheme, sending artists to the front lines to create a visual record of the Australian experience of the war. Around two thousand sketches and paintings were commissioned and acquired between 1916 and 1922. In Painting War, Margaret Hutchison examines the official art scheme as a key commemorative practice of the First World War and argues that the artworks had many makers beyond the artists. Government officials' selection of artists and subjects for the war paintings and their emphasis on the eyewitness value of the images over their aesthetic merit profoundly shaped the character of the art collection. Richly illustrated, Painting War provides an important understanding of the individuals, institutions and the politics behind the war art scheme that helped shape a national memory of the First World War for Australia.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. A record for posterity, 1916–17; 2. Implementing the art scheme, 1917–18; 3. Gazing on strange and terrible lands, 1916–18; 4. A beautiful graveyard, 1919; 5.

Goose Lane Editions Gerard Collins: Fifty Years of Painting
Book SynopsisThe art of Gerard Collins resists categorisation. Over a 50-year career, Collins’s conceptual imagination and dizzying array of influences has produced a body of work as eclectic as it is stimulating. His oeuvre, ranging from still lifes to landscapes, from realism to neo-conceptualism, remains undeniably embedded in Saint John, while partaking in — and pushing against — national and international conversations about art and theory. Featuring over 75 reproductions of Collins’s work, including examples from his famous Women in Hats, 100 Portraits, and Harlequin series, Gerard Collins: Fifty Years of Painting is the first book to encompass Collins’s entire career, from his early training at St. Martin’s School of Art and under the “NSCAD school,” to his return to Saint John and pandemic-era experiments with online pop-up galleries. Robert Barriault, a contemporary of Collins at NSCAD, develops a fresh critical methodology to analyze Collins’s enigmatic vocabulary, drawing connections and identifying distinctive features of Collins’s massive body of work.

Goose Lane Editions Jewish Life in Canada: William Kurelek
Book SynopsisWilliam Kurelek (1927–1977) is a beloved figure in Canadian art, a revered Ukrainian-Canadian painter whose works express his deeply felt immigrant experience and his compassionate vision of humanity. In 1975, he created a suite of 16 jewel-toned paintings titled Jewish Life in Canada in homage to his Jewish art dealer and friend Avrom Isaacs and as a gesture across the cultural divide. Relying on archival documents and photographs from communities across the country, Kurelek foregrounded the role of tradition, community, and family at the core of the Jewish experience in mid-twentieth century Canada. He portrayed Prairie farm colonies; businesses and schools in Montreal, Toronto, and Winnipeg; and celebrations of festivals and community events at home and in the synagogue. William Kurelek: Jewish Life in Canada includes essays by McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy considering Kurelek’s articulation of the Canadian ideal of multiculturalism and by Executive Director Ian A.C. Dejardin exploring Kurelek’s distinctive framing strategies. The book also includes pieces by David S. Koffman on Jewish life in 1970s Canada and John Geoghegan on Kurelek’s use of photographic sources, as well as an artistic response by Ukrainian Canadian artist Natalka Husar. The volume features more than 50 images, including reproductions of the full suite of Kurelek paintings as well as previously unpublished archival source material, offering a complete record of Kurelek’s working process.

Goose Lane Editions Donald Andrus: The Shape of Desire
Book SynopsisThe art of Donald Andrus defies categorization. Although principally known for his abstract paintings, Andrus has, throughout his career, combined his first love — drawing — with a deep engagement with colour, a desire for experimentation, a keen interest in the physical qualities of his materials, and the sensory experience of the viewer. Donald Andrus: The Shape of Desire brings together four major essays, including one by the artist, and more than eighty full-colour reproductions to assess a body of work that extends from abstract paintings to portraits. Roslyn Rosenfeld writes about Andrus’s early abstract work, Ihor Holubizky considers Andrus’s portraits, and Pan Wendt revisits Andrus’s contemporary abstract paintings. Taken together, the essays and images take full measure of the entirety of Andrus’s career and influences — from the landscapes of Greece and the poetry of George Seferis to the cinematic works of Andrei Tarkovsky and the pioneering work of contemporary German artists Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer. Donald Andrus has been painting for over thirty-five years. His work has been exhibited at galleries and museums throughout Canada and may be found in both private and public collections. He has previously worked as a curator at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, as a lecturer at the University of New Brunswick, and as a professor of art history at Concordia University. Andrus now lives and works in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Hirmer Verlag Kubra Khademi (Multi-lingual edition): Political
Book SynopsisThe artist Kubra Khademi (b. 1989) lives in Paris and focuses in her work on her life as a woman and a person with direct experience as a refugee. This makes it both political and highly topical. Multi-faceted themes pervade her art, including her function as mouthpiece and as an element in the fight for the fundamental rights of women, as well as artistic work in exile and in a Muslim society. In paintings and more recently with the use of photographic techniques and embroidery, Khademi presents tranquil nude female figures that – depending on the angle – can nonetheless be interpreted as provocative. They are juxtaposed with impressive performances that draw on the artist’s own physical experiences as a subject. Khademi focuses her attention on the male-dominated society in countries like her native Afghanistan and the socio-political situation there, linking together motifs from mythology, art history and politics. Kubra Khademi has received many awards for her work, and this overview publication presents her oeuvre in all its complexity.
