Louis Glackens, William's talented older brother whose prolific career as an illustrator and pioneering cartoon animator has been overlooked until now.>The artist was prolific in creating his satirical scenes, steeped in wit, combining his 'childlike' fantasies with a heavy dose of jaded cynicism. Following his tenure at Puck, Glackens became one of the first cartoon animators within the burgeoning film industry of the 1910s, creating characters for production houses such as Bray, Pathé and Sullivan Studios. His fantastical depictions of mermaids, anthropomorphic beasts and pie-faced grown-ups carved a path for what would become the wonderful world of Walt Disney. Regrettably, Louis Glackens was out of step with the fashion of his time and bore the curse of the avant-garde. As such, his vast contribution to the history of cartoons has remained largely unexplored. This monograph seizes the opportunity to reevaluate Louis Glackens' cultural contributions through the gift of hindsight and wealth of illustrations generously gifted to the Museum by The Sansom Foundation, Inc.

A major monograph on the international artist's practiceInternationally celebrated Spanish artist Jaume Plensa is recognized as one of today's most significant voices in contemporary sculpture. For more than four decades years, Plensa has created a multifaceted body of work that interplays traditional materials with unconventional media on intimate and monumental scales. Traversing the globe—from The Crown Fountain in Chicago, a modern-day agora in an urban landscape, to Echo, the monumental, yet serene portrait which greets Seattle's citizens by land and sea, to Roots, composed of the world's languages towering within the city of Tokyo— Plensa's nomadic practice speaks to the capacity and beauty of humanity, celebrating the similarities of the world's otherwise seemingly divergent cultures. One Thought Fills Immensity is the most comprehensive monograph published on the artist to date with over 200 color plates and contributions from international curators and scholars including Clare Lilley, Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Jeremy Strick, Sarah Coulson, Joseph Becherer, Marcello Dantas, and Víctor García de Gomar.

Creation imagery in manuscripts made in the Middle Ages becomes a locus for visual experimentation as well as the expression of ideas about creativity in artistic endeavors. It links medieval ideas about creation, and the characteristic of the Divine Creator and the act of creation with themes in medieval thought about the work of medieval artists, by examining representations of divine creation and illustrations of the creation stories in Genesis. Case studies from manuscripts illuminating the creation dating from the eleventh to the fourteenth century (Junius 11/The Cædmon Manuscript, Roda Bible & Ripoll Bible, Bible moralisées, Hamburg Bible, Holkhalm Bible) reveal self-reflective moments of medieval artists relating artistic invention and theological debates about creation. The author identifies traces of the artists' thinking in their own work and then contextualizes those visual cues within the context of philosophical arguments about the creation of the world. The author considers how Western medieval artists, in inventing original illuminations and experimenting with new representational modes, suggest potential analogies between their own work, God's acts of creation, and nature's generative force.

120 vivid "exquisite corpse" drawings made by the outrageous artist, performer, and designer Leigh Bowery with friends and collaborators during the 1980s and 1990s.In the wild years of the 1980s and early 1990s, when central London was a clubbers’ paradise, a circle of young, queer friends, including the celebrated Australian designer, performer, musician, and provocateur Leigh Bowery and his Minty bandmates would get together at Richard Torry's Soho flat before hitting the town.To pass the time, the troupe would sometimes make “exquisite corpses,” employing a technique popular with the Surrealists to create collaboratively-drawn compound images of often outrageous characters.The 120 images collected here, assembled from the Richard Torry archive, showcase the acerbic wit, lysergic absurdity, and sometimes cruel gaze of the young friends, while presenting an exaggerated snapshot of the era’s styles, fashions, and obsessions.
