Book SynopsisIf any scientific object has over the course of human history aroused the fascination of both scientists and artists worldwide, it is beyond doubt the moon. The moon is also by far the most interesting celestial body when it comes to reflecting on the dualistic nature of photography as applied to the study of the universe. Against this background, Selene’s Two Faces sets out to look at the scientific purpose, aesthetic expression, and influence of early lunar drawings, maps and photographs, including spacecraft imaging. In its approach, Selene’s Two Faces is intermedial, intercultural and interdisciplinary. It brings together not only various media (photography, maps, engravings, lithographs, globes, texts), and cultures (from Europe, America and Asia), but also theoretical perspectives. See inside the book.Trade Review"Setting aside the specific subject of the Moon and its pictures, González’s collection provides an excellent example of how astronomical imaging can overstep the boundaries of traditionally understood history of science."

Book SynopsisThis book is an investigation of the widely overlooked photographic style of pictorialism in the American West between 1900 and 1950 and argues that western pictorialist photographers were regionalists that had their roots in the formidable photographic heritage of the nineteenth-century West. Driven by a wealth of textual and visual primary sources, the book addresses the West’s relationship with the eastern centers of art in the early century, the diversity of practitioners such as women, Japanese Americans, Indigenous Americans, western rural workers, etc., and the style’s final demise as it related to the modernism of Group F.64. Couched in the rhetoric of regionalism; it is a refreshing and innovative approach to an overlooked wealth of American cultural production.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Figures Introduction  1 A Brief Introduction to American Pictorialism  2 Stieglitz Abandons Pictorialism  3 Pictorialism in the America West  4 The Broad Movement  5 A Note on the Images  6 Possibilities and Unalloyed Pleasures 1 The Broad Movement  1 The New Woman and the Origins of the Broad Movement  2 Rise of the Hobbyist-Amateur  3 The Photographic/Pictorialist Industry  3.1 Kodak  3.2 Photographic Journals and Publications  3.3 Photographic Technologies, Materials, and Techniques  3.4 National Organizations and Local Camera Clubs  3.5 Salons, Exhibitions, and Conventions and Postal Clubs, Interchanges, and Circulating Societies  4 Pictorialism and the Picturesque 2 Regional Pictorialism in the West  1 Cultural Regionalism  2 Artistic Regionalism  3 Western Pictorialist Photography  3.1 California Pictorialism  3.2 The West beyond California  3.3 Mythic West/“Provincial” West  3.4 Western Women’s Regionalism  3.5 Japonisme and West-Coast Japanese Pictorialists  3.6 Indigenous America 3 The End of Pictorialism  1 The Protracted Decline of Pictorialism  1.1 Embattled Pictorialism: Photography as Fine Art  1.2 Embattled Photography: Pictorialism versus Painting  1.3 Embattled Abroad: American versus European Pictorialism  1.4 Embattled Subject Matter  1.5 Embattled from Within: Internal Pictorialist Rhetoric  2 The Beginning of the End: Group f.64  2.1 Regional Modern  2.2 Attack and Counterattack  2.3 Expanded Photographic Practice: fsa and Social Documentary  2.4 Modernist Regionalism Epilogue  1 Erasing Pictorialism  2 From the Regional to the Global References Index

Book SynopsisFifty years after Martin Luther King Jr’s death - and at a time when race relations and social justice are again at the forefront of America’s consciousness - this book expands on a Frist Art Museum exhibition to present approximately one hundred photographs that document an important period in Nashville’s struggle for racial equality.Trade Review[Nashville's] stories about the orderly desegregation of schools and the peaceful desegregation of lunch counters and the benign treatment of black people by the white people in power? That's all a myth. 'We Shall Overcome: Civil Rights and the Nashville Press, 1957–1968,' a set of photographs assembled by the Frist Art Museum, exposes such mythmaking for what it is. . . . Copies of the companion volume to the photography exhibit will be distributed to all branches of the Nashville Public Library and to every public school in the city, and all members of the Tennessee General Assembly will receive a copy to deliver to the public libraries in their own communities. Here's hoping they pause to take a look first. There's a truth in these photographs that many of them have likely never seen before."—Margaret Renkl, New York Times"This book, the catalog of an exhibition at Frist Art Museum in Nashville, captures a decade of everyday bravery and trauma as recorded in photographs, drawn from city archives, by Nashville photojournalists."—Holland Cotter, New York Times
