A comprehensive, English-language study of early twentieth-century Japanese modern art. It constructs a critical theory of artistic modernism in Japan between 1900 and 1930 by analyzing the work of Yorozu Tetsugoro, whose paintings she casts as a polemic response to Japan's late-nineteenth-century encounter with European art.
Though best known for her 1930s documentary images of New York City, this book examines a broad range of Berenice Abbott's work - including portraits from the 1920s, little known and uncompleted projects from the 1930s, and experimental science photography from the 1950s.
Focusing on the thirty-three paintings Philip Guston exhibited at the Marborough Gallery in 1970, this title reconsiders the history of postwar American art and the conception of figuration in modern art history.
Offers an original approach to early French modernism, one informed by the art's unprecedented psychological intensity. Focusing on the early work of Paul Cezanne, this title offers a competing version for modern painting rooted in the evocation of emotive "expression," emblematized by scenes of murder, sexual violence, and anxious domesticity.
"A book of enormous ambition, C. F. B. Miller's Radical Picasso questions the most fundamental assumptions about the achievement of Pablo Picasso. This is absolutely a book to be contended with by anyone approaching this body of artistic production."--Charles Palermo, author of Modernism and Authority: Picasso and His Milieu around 1900 "In Miller's Radical Picasso, 'Picasso' names not a person but a heterogenous body of work--one crucial to the history of modernist art yet also constituting an immanent critique of it. Through a form of close writing cannily matched to the complexities of the work, this book recalls us from the domesticated 'Picasso' to which we have become accustomed to the more radical, disruptive, and disorienting aspects lurking within."--Lisa Florman, Professor of History of Art, Ohio State University
"A wonderfully written book exploring the creation and circulation of iconic antislavery images. Beach reveals the climate surrounding the production and popularity of sculptures like Forever Free and Abolition of Slavery while bringing the canon of art history to contend with interdisciplinary scholarship about Blackness and racial capitalism. Revelatory and teachable, this book uncovers a long history of art making in the fight for racial justice."--Jasmine Cobb, author of Picture Freedom: Remaking Black Visuality in the Early Nineteenth Century "Sculpture at the Ends of Slavery takes a refreshingly expansive approach to sculpture as global commodification of Black bodies. Drawing from an impressive array of art-historical, theoretical, and political sources, it forges salient insights into the complexities of sculpture's engagement in the fractured rhetoric of slavery and abolition in the nineteenth century."--James Smalls, Professor of Visual Arts, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
