A comprehensive exploration of the life and works of French ceramicist, Adrien Dalpayrat in a meticulously produced luxurious, oversized formatAdrien Dalpayrat was one of the most highly regarded ceramicists working in France in the late nineteenth century. Dalpayrat's recognition came relatively late in life, at age 45, when he first revealed the distinctive oxblood glazes for which he was best known, along with the variety of stoneware forms he employed — everything from gourds to fantastical marine creatures. Dalpayrat's works are included in global private and museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Orsay, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt.In this book architect Peter Marino shares his collection of Dalpayrat masterpieces, each beautifully reproduced in a luxurious, oversized format with 270 color illustrations. Also included is a foreword by Peter Marino and insightful essays by curator Etienne Tornier as well as an extensive plates section with works by Dalpayrat.With the same trim size and overall design, the volume is the perfect companion to Peter Marino's previous book, Théodore Deck.

This special issue marks the recent English translation of the second volume of Peter Weiss’s The Aesthetics of Resistance, also published by Duke University Press, with new, future-oriented readings of the novel. While many of the novel’s images—migrants adrift on a surveilled and fortified Mediterranean and the rise of anti-democratic, antisemitic, and racist authoritarian movements, among others—echo contemporary issues and events, the contributors present the novel as a complex text at the intersection of art, literary, and political histories with special utility for grasping the present moment. Topics include the relationship between form and formlessness in the novel, its implications for the interpretation of art, how political encounters inform the engagement of political subjects, and Weiss’s thematization of Jewish identity and left antisemitism. The issue also includes a new translation of a 1966 public exchange between Peter Weiss and Hans Magnus Enzensberger. Contributors. Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Kai Evers, Julia Hell, Seth Howes, Stefan Jonsson, Kaisa Kaakinen, Richard Langston, Matthew D. Miller, Alex Potts, Caroline Rupprecht, Peter Weiss
