Book Synopsis* * Winner of the 2017 Silver Medal for Fine Art (National Level) from the Independent Publisher Book Awards * *Featuring dozens of stunning Japanese woodblock prints, textiles, serving vessels and thoughtful essays, Seduction paints a vibrant and provocative picture of Japan''s Uikoyo-e or ''floating world.''''The Floating World'' was catch phrase that defined the pleasure quarters of Edo-period Japan''s (1615—1868) and conveyed a fantasy realm where men were led to believe they could drift aimlessly in the pursuit of pleasure. Brothels were a prominent feature, but other entertainments, such as theater, music, and wrestling were also offered. Pursuit of such pleasures prompted a revolution in fashion, literature, and the visual arts, as the pleasure district was marketed not just through the offer of sex but rather through the elaboration of the seductive image of a sophisticated demimonde that beckoned visitors.

University of Toronto Press Versified Prints
Book SynopsisThe term ‘versified prints’ is used to describe images that are accompanied by poetic explanatory text. They were immensely popular and diffused throughout Europe in the eighteenth century, and many were shown at the Salon du Louvre. Although not all print verses are signed, their authors include occasional poets and members of the Académie Française. These prints remain among the most accessible documents for the study of art and society, but have never been examined before for their historical and cultural context.With 112 full-page reproductions, Versified Prints offers an engaging and informative introduction to these intriguing works. W. McAllister Johnson''s guide discusses print production, the nature of sources, and the relationship and transformations in both text and images. Proposing a typology and methodology for this artistic phenomenon, Versified Prints enhances our knowledge of this fascinating new area of research an

University of Texas Press Reclaiming the Americas
Book Synopsis2023Outstanding Book Award?, National Association for Ethnic Studies Finalist,2024 Charles Rufus Morey Book Award,College Art AssociationHow Latinx artists around the US adopted the medium of printmaking to reclaim the lands of the Americas. Printmakers have conspired, historically, to illustrate the maps created by European colonizers that were used to chart and claim their expanding territories. Over the last three decades, Latinx artists and print studios have reclaimed this printed art form for their own spatial discourse. This book examines the limited editions produced at four art studios around the US that span everything from sly critiques of Manifest Destiny to printed portraits of Dreamers in Texas. Reclaiming the Americas is the visual history of Latinx printmaking in the US. Tatiana Reinoza employs a pan-ethnic comparative model for this interdisciplinary study of graphic art, drawing on art history, Latinx studieTrade Review[A] pioneering book…[Reinoza] offers an interdisciplinary approach to Latinx printmaking from a decolonized perspective that debunks Eurocentric conventions of cartography and geography and reinscribes the art form of printmaking to the peoples of the Americas. * CHOICE *Table of Contents List of Illustrations Introduction Chapter 1.

Metropolitan Museum of Art The Renaissance of Etching
Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive look at the origins and diffusion across Europe of the etched print during the late 15th and early 16th centuries The etching of images on metal, originally used as a method for decorating armor, was first employed as a printmaking technique at the end of the 15th century. This in-depth study explores the origins of the etched print, its evolution from decorative technique to fine art, and its spread across Europe in the early Renaissance, leading to the professionalization of the field in the Netherlands in the 1550s. Beautifully illustrated, this book features the work of familiar Renaissance artists, including Albrecht Dürer, Jan Gossart, Pieter Breughel the Elder, and Parmigianino, as well as lesser known practitioners, such as Daniel Hopfer and Lucas van Leyden, whose pioneering work paved the way for later printmakers like Rembrandt and Goya. The book also includes a clear and fascinating description of the etching process, as well as an investigation of how the medium allowed artists to create highly detailed prints that were more durable than engravings and more delicate than woodblocks.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (October 23, 2019–January 19, 2020)Trade Review“The Renaissance of Etching is an ideal reference work for anyone interested in the development of printmaking and the art of the Late Renaissance.”—Alexander Adams, Alexander Adams Art“A book you really can judge by its cover.

Grolier Club of New York The Earliest Dutch Imposition Manual – Facsimile
Book SynopsisThis facsimile, entitled Overslag-Boek, zeer nuttig voor alle Liefhebbers der Edele Boekdruk-konste (Imposition Manual, very useful for all Practitioners of the Noble Art of Printing"), is a reproduction of a unique manuscript housed in the Grolier Club Library. It was compiled in the years 1794–1795 by printer Joannes Josephus Balthazar Vanderstraelen, a native of Antwerp. Vanderstraelen's manuscript illustrates, through a series of diagrams in ink and watercolor, the correct position of composed pages, arranged so as to appear in the correct order after they were printed and folded. All the common printing formats are presented in order of size, from folio to 64mo. The elements of standard printing "furniture" —the chase, quoins, wedges, and so forth— are delicately rendered in various shades of watercolor wash, providing remarkably clear visual instructions on the proper arrangement of formes of type on the press. The diagrams, reproduced in their entirety in full color, are complemented and enhanced by Frans Janssen's detailed introduction and notes. The book also includes a foreword by Eugene S. Flamm, a description of the original manuscript held at the Grolier Club, an index, and English translations of the table of contents, headings, and text of the manual.

Getty Trust Publications Proof – The Rise of Printmaking in Southern
Book SynopsisThis is a lavishly illustrated exploration of the rise of printmaking in Southern California and its legacy on post-war American art. The first goal of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, founded in Los Angeles in 1960, was to "create a pool of master artisan-printers in the United States" to revive the medium of fine-art lithography. With essays by both established print scholars and new voices, this lavishly illustrated volume introduces the printmaking pioneers who nurtured an environment suitable for the founding of the country's most significant print shop. By tracing the local printmaking communities, the academic establishment, as well as the significant influence of workshops like Gemini G.E.L. and Cirrus Editions, the catalogue addresses the spectacular spread of printmaking from its modern beginnings in Southern California within the larger narrative of post-war American art.

Getty Trust Publications True Grit - American Prints from 1900 to 1950
Book SynopsisIn the first half of the twentieth century, a group of American artists influenced by the painter and teacher Robert Henri aimed to reject the pretenses of academic fine art and polite society. Embracing the democratic inclusiveness of the Progressive movement, these artists turned to making prints, which were relatively inexpensive to produce and easy to distribute. For their subject matter, the artists mined the bustling activity and stark realities of the urban centers in which they lived and worked. Their prints feature sublime towering skyscrapers and stifling city streets, jazzy dance halls and bleak tenement interiors-intimate and anonymous everyday scenes that addressed modern life in America. True Grit examines a rich selection of prints by well-known figures like George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Joseph Pennell, and John Sloan as well as lesser-known artists such as Ida Abelman, Peggy Bacon, Miguel Covarrubias, and Mabel Dwight. Written by three scholars of printmaking and American art, the essays present nuanced discussions of gender, class, literature, and politics, contextualizing the prints in the rapidly changing milieu of the first decades of twentieth-century America.

University of Delaware Press Money and Materiality in the Golden Age of
Book SynopsisThis book examines the entwined and simultaneous rise of graphic satire and cultures of paper money in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Asking how Britons learned to value both graphic art and money, the book makes surprising connections between two types of engraved images that grew in popularity and influence during this time. Graphic satire grew in visual risk-taking, while paper money became a more standard carrier of financial value, courting controversy as a medium, moral problem, and factor in inflation. Through analysis of satirical prints, as well as case studies of monetary satires beyond London, this book demonstrates several key ways that cultures attach value to printed paper, accepting it as social reality and institutional fact. Thus, satirical banknotes were objects that broke down the distinction between paper money and graphic satire altogether.

Bodleian Library Town: Prints and Drawings of Britain Before 1800
Book SynopsisProvincial towns in Britain grew in size and importance in the eighteenth century. Ports such as Glasgow and Liverpool greatly expanded, while industrial centres such as Birmingham and Manchester flourished. Market towns outside London developed as commercial centres or as destinations offering spa treatments as in Bath, horse racing in Newmarket or naval services in Portsmouth. Containing over 100 images of towns in England, Wales and Scotland, this book draws on the extensive Gough collection in the Bodleian Library. Contemporary prints and drawings provide a powerful visual record of the development of the town in this period, and finely drawn prospects and maps – made with greater accuracy than ever before – reveal their early development. This book also includes perceptive observations from the journals and letters of collector Richard Gough (1735–1809), who travelled throughout the country on the cusp of the industrial age.Trade Review“A treasure trove of a book and an excellent starting point for anyone seeking to understand what British towns in the eighteenth century looked like.” * Peter Borsay, Aberystwyth University *

Bodleian Library Hawkers, Beggars and Quacks: Portraits from The
Book Synopsis'Buy my Dish of great Eeles, Any Old Iron take money for, Twelve Pence a Peck Oysters, Buy my fat Chickens, Fair Lemons & Oranges' Marcellus Laroon’s 'The Cryes of the City of London drawne after the Life' presents, in seventy-four striking portraits, a panorama of London’s marginal men and women: street vendors, hustlers and petty criminals together with the shouts (or cries) they used to hawk their wares, as they existed at the end of the seventeenth century. Following an illustrated introduction which sets Laroon’s engravings within the tradition of the Cries, each portrait is beautifully reproduced with a commentary that illuminates the individual street-seller and their trade. The commentaries provide a wealth of detail about their dress, the equipment they used to ply their trade, the meat and drink of those they served and their own diets. This book also mines historical archives for contemporary reports about the colourful and often desperate lives of these hawkers. Drawing on the historic material found in the Burney Collection of English newspapers, this book provides a fascinating insight into the men and women who made their livelihood, legally and illegally, on the streets of England’s capital.Trade Review"A welcome addition to the literature on the underprivileged populations of European cities who sold food, sundries, and services. . . .

Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art Aquatint Worlds: Travel, Print, and Empire,
Book SynopsisAn illuminating investigation of how aquatint travel books transformed the way Britons viewed the world and their place within it In the late 18th century, British artists embraced the medium of aquatint for its ability to produce prints with rich and varied tones that became even more stunning with the addition of color. At the same time, the expanding purview of the British empire created a market for images of far-away places. Book publishers quickly seized on these two trends and began producing travel books illustrated with aquatint prints of Indian cave temples, Chinese waterways, African villages, and more. Offering a close analysis of three exceptional publications—Thomas and William Daniell’s Oriental Scenery (1795–1808), William Alexander’s Costume of China (1797–1805), and Samuel Daniell’s African Scenery and Animals (1804–5)—this volume examines how aquatint became a preferred medium for the visual representation of cultural difference, and how it subtly shaped the direction of Western modernism.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British ArtTrade Review“[An] innovative and scholarly study”— Christopher Baker, Country Life

Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art William Blake's Printed Paintings: Methods,
Book SynopsisAn in-depth examination of William Blake’s glorious and acclaimed series of twelve monoprints Among William Blake’s (1757–1827) most widely recognized and highly regarded works as an artist are twelve color printed drawings, or monoprints, conceived and executed in 1795. This book investigates these masterworks, explaining Blake’s technique—one he essentially reinvented, unaware of 17th-century precursors—to show that these works were produced as paintings, and played a crucial role in Blake’s development as a painter. Using material and historical analyses, Joseph Viscomi argues that the monoprints were created as autonomous paintings rather than as illustrations for Blake’s books with an intended viewing order. Enlivened with bountiful illustrations, the text approaches the works within the context of their time, not divorced from ideas expressed in Blake’s writings but not illustrative of or determined by those writings.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British ArtTrade Review“This volume is devoted to a set of twelve pictures created in 1795 and unanimously considered Blake’s highest achievement...Relying on material evidence and sensible deduction, Visconti reconstructs the whole chronology of the twelve pictures.”—Laurent Bury, Cercles “The new standard account of how [Blake’s] ‘printed paintings’ were produced and how the works should be interpreted…. The implications of Viscomi’s scholarship will resonate for years to come.”

Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art A Biographical Dictionary of British and Irish
Book SynopsisThe first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper in Britain and Ireland 1714–1820 This biographical dictionary of engravers working on copper encompasses both those who produced fine art prints, and also those who engraved book illustrations for medical, technical and literary works, all of which played a more important part than is usually realised in spreading information in the age of Enlightenment. Some 3,000 biographical entries draw on much unpublished information, researched over four decades, notably records of apprenticeship, genealogy, insurance and bankruptcy as well as newspaper advertisements and contemporary accounts. This is the first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper in Britain and Ireland 1714–1820. Many biographical entries describe celebrated engravers producing “fine art” prints of paintings, which spread knowledge about living and dead artists. However, this book also builds up a more complex picture of the occupation of printmaking and includes engravers, many previously unresearched, who engraved ephemeral material, such as trade cards, bank notes, and satirical prints as well as the images that spread knowledge across literary, geographical, historical, topographical, medical and technical fields.Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British ArtTrade Review“[Alexander] writes convincingly about how the explosion of prints in that period reflected not only artistic ability, and the desire to render paintings in print, but also the need — pre-photography — to disseminate knowledge of British advances in exploration, navigation, architecture, natural history, engineering and technology’, as well as banknotes and share certificates.”—Charles Moore, Spectator

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Rhymes of Early Jungle Folk A Replica of the 1922
Book SynopsisThis facsimile edition of a 1922 children's book features seventy-three dynamic and whimsical woodcut illustrationsthe first woodcuts that the famed American craftsman Wharton Esherick produced. A high-quality replica authorized by the Wharton Esherick Museum, this book reveals the foundation of Esherick's direction as an artist. Edited by Museum director Paul Eisenhauer, it also features a foreword by Museum assistant curator Laura Heemer. The illustrations frame verses that introduce children to the principles of evolution, a highly controversial topic at the time: the book was published three years before the famous Scopes Monkey trial of 1925 that resulted in the inclusion of the teaching of evolution in public schools. Drawn by the excitement of the controversy, Esherick threw his passion into these illustrations. Afterward he would go on to carve over 300 woodcuts, leading to decorative carving, and ultimately, to Esherick's realization that he was a sculptor rather than a painter.
