Princeton University Press Only a Promise of Happiness
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWinner of the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Philosophy, Association of American Publishers "Mr. Nehamas sets about reclaiming something of beauty's lost meaning by showing how it is connected to our happiness... That ... a work could infuriate one age and become an icon to the next fascinates Mr. Nehamas, who is drawn to works where our aesthetic and moral obligations come into conflict... Mr. Nehamas displays an admirable clarity of thought and language... [W]e can enjoy this book as we might the conversation of a spirited and quirky friend whose most irritating pronouncements are the ones we find ourselves mulling over, with some surprise, a week or two later."--Michael J. Lewis, Wall Street Journal "Alexander Nehamas seeks to reestablish the connections among art, beauty and desire and to show that the values of art are critical."--Publishers Weekly "[A] marvelous book...Nehamas sets out to retrieve beauty on behalf of all those who still use the word 'beautiful' with everyday pleasure: of a child, a landscape, a vase of flowers, an automobile. He does so in a tone of easy familiarity and enviable gracefulness; this is the philosopher not as blunt pragmatist, like the great Richard Rorty, nor as dour sceptic like W. V. Quine, but as winning and witty guide, and genial companion."--Mike Hulme, Times Higher Education Supplement "A wonderful, personal, and philosophic essay concerned with the restoration of beauty's place in art ... a rich conversation of ideas and feelings."--Reamy Jansen, Bloomsbury Review "Because our most meaningful encounters with beauty unfold over time, we can only ever say in retrospect that a beautiful object has not made our lives--or our culture--better... Beauty is only ever that promise: There is no a priori judgment that might reveal what will prove evanescent and what sustaining... In Mr. Nehamas's vision, the possibility of beauty is well worth the price of uncertainty."--Gideon Lewis-Kraus, New York Sun "[A] gracious and insightful book... The best parts of the book, which deal with the intimate love of beauty, are gloriously intelligent without being at all difficult and wise without being pompous."--John Armstrong, Sydney Morning Herald "Nehamas ... thinks that beauty has been too narrowly defined and that both the pro-beauty camp and the anti-beauty camp have painted us into a tight corner. Only a Promise of Happiness is his attempt to free us from the enclosure... Nehamas feels that beauty deserves a second chance because he thinks that the war on beauty has restricted what we can hope to expect from both art and life... [A] sane and provocative book."--Christopher Benfey, Slate.com "The power of beauty, its call to our love and its capacity to move us, is the focus of Only a Promise of Happiness, a new and very welcome book by Princeton philosopher Alexander Nehamas."--John Armstrong, The Australian "[Nehamas] writes with philosophical depth and great clarity and grace. His thoughts are lively and provocative, and he argues that the question of beauty (what is beautiful to me might not be beautiful to you) and the value of art are not rarefied topics, but part of the fabric of our everyday lives."--Nancy Tousley, Calgary Herald "Nehamas' language itself is fascinating, often giving rise to thoughts that in themselves are worth contemplating."--Regis Schilken, Blog Critics Magazine "Every practicing art critic could benefit from reading Nehamas's feeling account. But this shouldn't keep anyone whose curiosity is aroused by the title from picking up this engaging book. Nehamas ... writes with philosophical depth and great clarity and grace. His thoughts are lively and provocative, and he argues that the question of beauty (what is beautiful to me might not be beautiful to you) and the value of art are not rarefied topics, but part of the fabric of our everyday lives."--Nancy Tousley, Calgary Herald "If we are to take beauty seriously, Nehamas argues, we have to admit that it is impossible to really understand it without also understanding love... Nehamas has done us the service of returning the question of beauty to the center of humanistic attention. Only a Promise of Happiness raises important questions about the relationship between knowing and loving."--Joseph Phelan, Weekly Standard "This book contains material for constructive discussion and may even prompt some of us to reconsider the role beauty could or should play not only in the realm of art but in other aspects of our lives."--Giles Auty, The Australian "Nehamas, who wrote important studies on Plato and Nietzsche, is one of the most brilliant, amazing and amusing philosophers of our day. Though many other thinkers surely are as important as he, few rival his elegance, for he cultivates these almost forgotten qualities among scholars: writing well and wit. From its extrinsic features to the inmost convictions of its author, Only a Promise of Happiness is a notable book."--Jose Baracat Jr., Consciousness, Literature and the Arts "Nehamas's argument about beauty in art is beautiful, in the very sense intended by the argument itself."--Carolyn Wilde, Modernism/ModernityTable of ContentsAcknowledgments xiii CHAPTER I: Plato or Schopenhauer? 1 A Feature of Appearance? 13 Modernist Voices 22 Modernist Appropriations 30 CHAPTER II: Criticism and Value 36 Th e Role of Reviewing 44 Beauty, Love, Friendship 53 Beauty, Attractiveness, Evolution 63 CHAPTER III: Art, Beauty, Desire 72 Beauty, Community, Universality 78 Uniformity, Style, Distinction 84 Aesthetics, Directness, Individuality 91 CHAPTER IV: Love and Death in Venice 102 Manet's Olympia 105 CHAPTER Interpretation, Depth, Breadth 120 CHAPTER Interpretation, Beauty, Goodness 126 Beauty, Uncertainty, Happiness 131 Notes 139 Permissions 169 Index 179

The catalog, to debut with the exhibition, is the first scholarly examination of the entire American women’s suffrage history in one book." * ARTFIX daily *"The show’s ample 289-page catalog provides rigorously-researched evidence that the history we’ve relied on for decades, delivered in grade school civics classes was in part myth, and, a literal white-washing of some of the movement’s key players."---Alicia Ault, Smithsonianmag.com"[An] excellent and extensive catalogue."---Mark Jenkins, Washington Post"Votes for Women! A Portrait of Persistence . . . [is an] important contribution to the history of women’s rights. . . . [The] visuals include stunning portraits of movement leaders, action shots of major suffrage milestones such as the March suffrage procession in DC, and even examples of suffragists’ rich material culture, such as sashes and dinnerware. . . . By centering a diverse array of women, including images and material culture, and presenting classic and cutting-edge scholarship, Votes for Women provides one of the most valuable contributions to the centennial outpouring of new work on the suffrage movement."---Kimberly A. Hamlin, Journal of American Studies"Votes for Women! [is] a handsomely illustrated volume edited by Kate Clarke Lemay. The book straddles popular and scholarly history while simultaneously providing a complex, rather than merely celebratory, view of the suffrage movement and its legacies. [The book] is a hybrid creature—part scholarly essays written to be accessible to a general audience, part historical narrative, and part gorgeous and ambitious exhibition catalog with the easy visual appeal of a coffee-table book."---Victoria Olwell, Journal of American History"Votes for Women is a compelling visual biography of the suffrage movement through artifacts and rare photographs. Tracing the movement through time, Clarke Lemay brings readers on a cinematic journey through the many chapters of the movement, marked by its various alliances with abolitionists, Native American land-rights activists, and even advocates for the temperance movement. Perhaps most importantly, Votes for Women removes suffragists like Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Zitkala-Sa, Sarah Parker Remond and Fannie Lou Hamer from the cold pages of archives, underscoring to readers that women activists have always come from diverse backgrounds."---Emma Levy, Seattle Times"Full of intriguing references to how much more there is to know. . . .

The artificial geometry of roads and waste-storage pads stands out from the organic undulations and gradient washes of the desert, although the two blend together in sites of intensive activity, where human drivers left behind their unruly tracks. . . . His pictures are proof that even humanity’s vilest weapons can’t entirely void a place of its dignity. As the world warms, the sea rises, the forests burn, and our fellow-creatures suffer, there will still be beauty. Beauty to take comfort in. Beauty to mourn."---Max Norman, New Yorker"The only photographer to have been granted official and sustained access to [The Nevada Test Site], Gowin revisits his original negatives from 1996 and 1997 in his new book. The Nevada Test Site evinces the chilling impact of nuclear weapons on the natural world, reminding us too of the deadly threat they continue to pose to humanity at large."---Madeleine Pollard, Financial Times

Princeton University Press Bravura
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Suthor invigorates this subject in myriad ways, not least by the sheer verve of her writing and the ambition of her project. The book is itself a bravura performance, galloping through several centuries of European art history with considerable wit and erudition."---Alexander Marr, Apollo Magazine"[A] pioneering book. . . . this brilliant and well-illustrated book confirms that bravura was one of the most cognitively demanding techniques of Renaissance painting. The brilliance of Suthor’s analysis lies in her fresh terminology and perceptive language of description of even the smallest and most easily overlooked details of composition, and in her critical ability to relate such intricacies to larger issues taken up in paintings and in criticism. She writes in engaging, precise language, and makes persuasive connections with contemporary art criticism and modern aesthetics and cultural theory."---Goran Stanivukovic, Renaissance and Reformation"Bravura surveys the breadth of meaning that bravura conveys, probing the subtleties of the concept from multiple viewpoints. . . . This breadth, which makes it possible to see patterns and similarities over centuries and national boundaries, is refreshing in our age of narrowly defined specialist studies and helps us see the consistency over longer periods in European art, something that is often lost in our focus on differences. . . . [Suthor’s] skill at integrating theory and practice is commendable and provides a service to the theorists and biographers who were artists themselves, reminding those who would study paintings in isolation from the ideas valued by their makers that they do so at serious peril."---Janis Bell, Renaissance Quarterly

Princeton University Press Piranesi Unbound
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A handsome treatment of [an] unheralded aspect of Piranesi’s career."---Benjamin Riley, New Criterion"Piranesi Unbound is a beautifully made book about a maker of beautiful books. Giambattista Piranesi (1720-78) is remembered mostly for his etchings, but art historians Carolyn Yerkes and Heather Hyde Minor make a strong—and charmingly wonkish—case that his true medium was the bound volume. They’re helped enormously by the designer Yve Ludwig, who strengthens every step of their argument with vivid closeups of the maestro’s work. Her gold-on-terracotta color scheme is the icing on the cake: Ms. Ludwig evokes Piranesi’s love for red chalk and Moroccan leather in a way that suggests the Roman genius might have a living heir."---Jackson Arn, Wall Street Journal"[Piranesi Unbound is], an academic book [that] contains plenty of visual material exploring the Italian artist’s work, and . . . dives into the world of bookmaking."---Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Washington Post"If you liked Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, you might want to look at Piranesi Unbound by Carolyn Yerkes and Heather Hyde Minor. It's an academic book, but it contains plenty of visual material exploring the Italian artist's work, and it dives into the world of bookmaking."---Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Independent"Piranesi Unbound is a thoroughly researched and stimulating discursive study of Piranesi as a creator and seller of books. This will be a valuable book for students of Piranesi, book arts and patronage in Eighteenth-Century Rome."---Alexander Adams, Alexander Adams Art"In Piranesi Unbound . . . Carolyn Yerkes and Heather HydeMinor show how books represented an alternative business model for [Piranesi], one that required technologies of production and routes of distribution that were different from those for prints. According to the authors, Piranesi the bookmaker has been shouldered aside in the literature by the suitable-for-framing hero of exhibitions and catalogues. Their Piranesi, by contrast, is to be found in libraries more often than in print cabinets. . . . This is a book lover’s book."---Joseph Connors, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians"By treating Piranesi’s books as a distinct and specific medium, Yerkes and Hyde Minor draw attention to a feature of early modern publications that scholarship rarely fully acknowledges: their inherent instability and ‘openness’. From Piranesi Unbound, the book emerges as a site of a continuous reconfiguration of content and printed matter, and this over the entire course of its life: from its conception, when plates are reused and content is cribbed, over its production and sale, when pages and fascicules are combined, bound and personalised, to its distribution and dispersal in collections of books and prints. . . . By casting Piranesi primarily as a bookmaker, Piranesi Unbound begins to liberate his work from his overbearing presence in its interpretation."---Maarten Delbeke, Architectural History"A scholarly and visually rich history that . . . should appeal to fans of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. . . . A beautiful book about books."---John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture"Beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated . . . the book is a testament to the kind of scholarship Piranesi stood for."---Richard Calis, International Journal of the Classical Tradition"Piranesi Unbound occupies a special place as a volume clearly aligned with the “material turn" of art history. The coauthors, experts on architectural drawings and prints, are implicitly and productively critical of the canonical type of art historical research, concentrating specifically on what classical art history has regarded as parerga—the technical, material, and economic aspects of artistic production."---Lola Kantor-Kazocsky, CAA Reviews"Piranesi Unbound . . . rematerialize[s] the codex as a material repository of practice"---Luisa Calè, European Romantic Review

The book highlights undeservedly obscure Black designers as well."---Eve M. Kahn, New York Times"Midcentury modernism isn’t merely a style characterized by clean lines, open floor plans, graphic use of color, and overt minimalism. Overtones of the movement are both radical and racial, argues author Kristina Wilson, making heretofore largely unexplored connections between race, gender, and modernist decor. Wilson [is] uniquely qualified to chart the journey."---Katherine Burns Olson, ArchitecturalDigest.com"Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body gives the ubiquitous decorating style the historical context it deserves."---Rebecca Onion, Slate"Wilson’s deep knowledge of and scholarship in modern design are evident in this book’s precisely articulated argument. . . . Wilson’s archival research and careful interrogation of relevant texts and images compels readers to see the powerful messages embedded in marketing materials in a fresh way. . . . Essential reading for students of sociology as well as design." * Library Journal *"A provocative analysis of race and gender during the Modernist movement in postwar America. Written in accessible language, yet supported by notable scholarly sources, Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body is a compelling read for the design student, mid-century enthusiast, and those interested in historical revisionism…A fascinating and important read for a popular audience."---Erika Balcombe, Spacing Vancouver"Tantalizingly illustrated with over 150 images taken from diverse design sources, Wilson’s book offers a beautiful and destabilizing “counter-history” of modernism that forces us to reconsider the sources and motivations behind the decorative revivalisms we hold dear."---Kate Burnett Budzyn, Decorative Arts Trust Bulletin"Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body serves as a timely corrective. . . . [The book] emphatically succeeds in the difficult task of unearthing hitherto concealed biases that undergirded the design of the period. . . . [It] can serve as a fruitful model for much of the urgent work that remains to be carried out in the field of design history."---Shane Morrissy, caa.reviews"[A] timely and meticulously researched foray into the politics of postwar modernist design. . . . Wilson’s provocative study makes resolutely evident the invaluable insights that the objects, processes, and social relations of design offer critical historians of even the most recent past."---Alison J. Clarke, Winterthur Portfolio"[Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body] stands apart from many recent books and exhibitions. . . . The book presents readers who are likely familiar with the basics of ‘mid-century Modern’ with new points of analysis. Wilson shows how much design historians have missed in focusing primarily, if not exclusively, on white designers and white consumers in histories of Modernism."---Bess Williamson, Journal of Design History"Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body by Kristina Wilson critiques the Fifties through: books/magazines, home/furniture designs, manufactured Kitsch, which consumers purchased or at least lusted after…[The book] is a worthwhile read"---Jean Bundy, Anchorage Press"[A] nuanced and exciting book. . . . Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body contributes a vital counternarrative to the canon and should be essential reading for historians, educators, designers, and students of design. . . .

Book SynopsisTrade Review"[Giedion] relates the great monuments that greet us at the outset with the great spaces of the Aurignacian caves and with the ancient cult of the animal treated as a sacred object. One of his most original intuitions is that ‘the religious structure of the first high civilizations was founded upon the discovery of the human form and the human face’ and the appreciation of the naked body."---Lewis Mumford, The New Yorker"[Giedion’s] long preoccupation with what it feels like to frequent spaces controlled by the buildings of men permits him to illuminate data long familiar. We have stared for years at drawings of Greek temples without realizing the meaning of the fact that they were not buildings to go into. These windowless cells surrounded by stone columns were the focal points of ceremonious processions, for if the gods no longer wandered the people did, on ritual visits to majestic images."---Hugh Kenner, National Review"Giedion’s vision dominates the entire book: it is so absolute and conclusive that the book emerges as a general philosophy rather than mere architectural history."---Paul Zucker, Progressive Architecture"Eloquent."---John Canaday, New York Times Book Review

Book SynopsisTrade Review"It is impossible to approach this profoundly stimulating book by Oleg Grabar without reflecting on the strange twists of fate that the discourse of ornament has undergone in the last two centuries. . . . Oleg Grabar takes up anew the challenge of using ornament to broach artistic questions."---Margaret Olin, Art Bulletin"This is writing that not only rewards but requires rereading. . . . If The Formation of Islamic Art was the most provocative and generously conceived book on its subject in the '70s, The Mediation of Ornament, with its expanded frame of reference and sense of personal urgency, may well assume that status for the '90s."---Holland Cotter, Art in America"In a real sense the book is a mediation, the Platonic daemon, between ornament and the reader. . . . When language has to be invented or defined to fulfill a specific need, as here, it is a sign that new concepts are being proposed by the author."---Sylvia Auld, Art History"With perhaps Socratic irony, Grabar maneuvers between ideology and mere decoration by divining in ornament a mediating function in a world troubled by doubt. Grabar believes that ornament constitutes a ‘discourse on love.’ His book, written with a kindly wit, and a keen intelligence, is beautifully illustrated, and itself illustrates the role of ornament in the world." * Bostonia *"Grabar seeks to understand the transmission of meaning from visual form to interpretation: what is it that mediates between the physical object and a viewer's understanding? He postulates that in Islamic art it is writing, geometry and (images of) architecture and nature, which together constitute ornament. . . . An honest statement of one scholar's personal intellectual journey." * Mesa Bulletin *"An admirable treatise . . . it offers its readers an exemplary interplay of art history and aesthetics. One receives a beautifully illustrated introduction to Islamic art, and each work earns its presence by serving to bring a theoretical issue to life. This is cross-fertilization at its very best." * Journal of Aesthetics and Art *

This may be a book with a large and ambitious thesis, but it is also one very firmly grounded in specifics . . . illustrated with a richness and aptness which is rarely seen today . . . The clarity of exposition and the liveliness of the language makes each of the eight linked essays a pleasure to read on its own . . . The work deserves a wide readership."---Craig Clunas, Burlington Magazine"While the idea that traditional China can be defined by its production processes is not entirely new, only with Lothar Ledderose's Ten Thousand Things has that argument been made comprehensively, and in terms that fully engage the social and art historian . . . An excellent resource for the social and art history of China."---James A. Flath, Pacific Affairs"Ledderose's book, although written to be accessible to a nonspecialist reader, should have an equally impressive impact on scholars. . . . After reading it, one cannot but be excited about the future direction and possibilities of Chinese art history."---Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt, Journal of Asian Studies
