Klaus
A stunning book exploring the art of Sergio Pablos' animated Christmas original, Klaus. When Jesper (Jason Schwartzman) distinguishes himself as the postal academy's worst student, he is stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle, where the feuding locals hardly exchange words let alone letters.

Simmons), a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys. These unlikely friendships return laughter to Smeerensburg, forging a new legacy of generous neighbors, magical lore and stockings hung by the chimney with care. An animated holiday comedy directed by Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos, KLAUS co-stars Joan Cusack, Will Sasso and Norm Macdonald. Klaus: The Art of the Movie is a stunning coffee table hardback exploring the art of Sergio Pablos' hand-drawn animated original Christmas film.

AIDS, Art & the Origins of the Culture War
AIDS, Art & the Origins of the Culture War: Selected Writings of Robert Atkins presents three-and-a-half decades of articles and essays about contentious assaults on the rights of individuals, institutions and, by extension, all Americans. A staff columnist for the Village Voice during the 1980s and 90s, Atkins produced both eye-witness reporting and thoughtful analysis from 1987 and the debut of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington DC to the most recent piece in the book, his 2019 review of Benjamin Moser's biography of Susan Sontag. The book is organized thematically and divided into three, sometimes overlapping sections: "AIDS: The Body Politic Under Pressure," "Making Sense of Censorship," and "Queer Expressions & Icons." A new and comprehensive essay, "When the Culture War Became the Culture," is a stunning survey of post-World War II, US society. With dozens of images of both controversial artworks and newsmakers, the book weaves a complex tapestry of social change. En masse, Atkins' acute readings of politics, media, technology and political struggle help account for the combative character of US society today and imply what we might learn from the past to help modify our fractious present.

Code-Switching in Arts
Incorporating more than one linguistic code or mode of expression in literary and artistic productions has quickly grown over the last two decades. This volume pays special attention to the dynamic rise of code-switching especially in literature and performative arts, and explores strategies used by contemporary artists to compose their multilingual narratives as well as moves beyond the linguistic level in the direction of multimodality. The innovative frameworks and descriptions intend to highlight the different ways in which art, unlike ordinary language use, manifests language mixing and switching. Besides the papers by both young and established scholars, the volume includes a section of valuable contributions from multilingual authors and artists to bridge the gap between academic approaches and creative professional practices.
Caravaggio's Last Journey (June-July 1610)
The studies gathered in this issue reshape scholarship on the final days of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio by reassembling, contextualising and cross-reading documentary evidence that has too often been treated in isolation. Diplomatic correspondence, administrative papers, military records and notarial material are integrated within a single analytical framework, yielding a reconstruction that departs decisively from centuries of biographical simplification and narrative accretion.The enquiry begins with Carla Rossi's annotated critical edition of the letter sent on 29 July 1610 by Deodato Gentile, Apostolic Nuncio in Naples, to the Papal Secretariat of State. Long known yet never subjected to rigorous philological and palaeographical scrutiny, this earliest contemporary testimony is reassessed in its evidentiary status: imprecise readings are corrected, indirect reports are distinguished from verifiable facts, and the document's cautious formulations are restored to their institutional meaning. Rossi's analysis demonstrates that the letter is not a summary note, but a politically situated administrative text, presupposing procedures, local expertise and an official reconstruction of events. Within this sequence, the episode of the "restato pregione" emerges as a decisive junction.A further advance comes from the documentation concerning the Fortress of Palo, including the identification of the captain named by the nuncio, which anchors Merisi's arrest within a defined network of responsibilities and coastal controls, with concrete implications for timing, physical condition and subsequent mobility. The issue then reconstructs the painter's last movements through documented itineraries of the Colonna household, while L. Fusini's topographical and cartographic study of Porto Ercole redefines the constraints of a rigorously monitored military space. The dossier is completed by V. Minniti's discovery of the late-August purchase of crespone by the Marchesa of Caravaggio, confirming the formal elaboration of mourning.Beyond new findings, the core novelty lies in method: documents read within their administrative context, networks reconstructed, events restored to their historical density.
Maiolica
In the flicker of a kiln's flame, centuries of artistry and aspiration are forged into luminous beauty-yet few artefacts capture the spirit of Renaissance ceramics as vividly as those shaped by the hands of Italian maiolica potters. Here, the story of tin glazed earthenware unfolds in all its intricate splendour, inviting readers to traverse the bustling workshops of sixteenth century Italy and the sunlit courts of Mediterranean decorative arts. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions, an act of cultural restoration that breathes new life into a foundational work of ceramic art history. With a scholar's precision and a connoisseur's eye, the text explores the evolution of pottery techniques in Europe, illuminating the technical mastery and imaginative flair that set Italian maiolica pottery apart. Museum curators and art historians alike will find in these pages a reference of enduring value-one that bridges the worlds of Victorian art scholarship and modern decorative arts reference. The narrative is steeped in historical context, tracing the influence of Renaissance workshops on contemporary design and revealing how these ceramics became both objects of daily use and emblems of artistic ambition. Restored for today's and future generations, this edition stands as more than a reprint-it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Its meticulous detail and evocative prose render it indispensable for classic-collection buyers, while its accessible storytelling welcomes casual readers to the wonders of Mediterranean craftsmanship. Whether you are drawn by the allure of Bernard Rackham ceramics or seek a museum curators guide to the era's finest works, this volume offers a window into the world where pigment, glaze, and fire converge to create enduring beauty.
The manufacture of earth colours
A handful of ochre dust, the shimmer of sienna, the earthy scent of minerals ground by hand-these are the roots of European pigment industry, where artistry and alchemy once intertwined. In an era when colour was coaxed from the earth itself, knowledge of natural pigment production was both a closely guarded secret and a vital craft, shaping the palettes of nineteenth century art and the masterpieces that endure today. This remarkable volume, out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, opens a window onto the world of pigment manufacturing history, revealing the meticulous processes by which earth pigment techniques transformed humble minerals into vibrant, lasting hues. With thirty-one detailed illustrations, the text serves as both an art material reference and a testament to the ingenuity of artists, restorers, and conservation professionals who sought purity and permanence in every shade. Readers will find themselves immersed in historical paint recipes and the lore of mineral colour sources, drawn into the tactile, sensory world of those who crafted the colours that defined an age. Its pages are a vital resource for anyone fascinated by the intersection of science and creativity, from the student of natural dye books to the practitioner searching for authentic george field pigments. Restored for today's and future generations, this edition is not just a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Its literary and historical significance lies in preserving the techniques and traditions that underpin our visual heritage, ensuring that the artistry of pigment and paint is never lost to time. Whether you are a casual reader enchanted by the romance of old-world craftsmanship or a classic-collection buyer seeking a cornerstone for your library, this volume offers a rare and vivid journey into the heart of art's most elemental secrets.

Australian species range from the tiny 8 cm (3.1 in) weebill to the huge, flightless emu. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change. Many of them have specific beauty, character and habitat.Australia is the home of the best views in the world.

AIDS, Art & the Origins of the Culture War
AIDS, Art & the Origins of the Culture War: Selected Writings of Robert Atkins presents three-and-a-half decades of articles and essays about contentious assaults on the rights of individuals, institutions and, by extension, all Americans. A staff columnist for the Village Voice during the 1980s and 90s, Atkins produced both eye-witness reporting and thoughtful analysis from 1987 and the debut of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington DC to the most recent piece in the book, his 2019 review of Benjamin Moser's biography of Susan Sontag. The book is organized thematically and divided into three, sometimes overlapping sections: "AIDS: The Body Politic Under Pressure," "Making Sense of Censorship," and "Queer Expressions & Icons." A new and comprehensive essay, "When the Culture War Became the Culture," is a stunning survey of post-World War II, US society. With dozens of images of both controversial artworks and newsmakers, the book weaves a complex tapestry of social change. En masse, Atkins' acute readings of politics, media, technology and political struggle help account for the combative character of US society today and imply what we might learn from the past to help modify our fractious present.

Cursed!
A bewitching study of magical objects from ancient societies, including Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and RomePublished with Toledo Museum of Art. The belief in magic was widespread across ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome. In these societies, the world was believed to be populated by divine forces, and magicians (also called sorcerers, witches and shamans) could manipulate supernatural powers through the performance of rituals and recitation of spells to achieve a wide range of aims, including protection from demonic harm, healing various medical ailments, attracting lovers, cursing enemies and even winning in the law courts and at the racetrack. This volume, published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the Toledo Museum of Art, explores how the supernatural was visualized in these societies and how magic was actually practiced in the period from around 2000 BCE to 300 CE. It displays and studies magical objects from each of these regions, including protective objects, written records of spells and images of supernatural beings.
Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de refer礙ncias
Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de refer礙ncias presents the first comprehensive study of Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos de refer礙ncias, a collection of over 130 notebooks meticulously compiled throughout more than three decades (1981-2013 ca.). These scrapbooks bring together Greco-Roman mythology, U.S. pornography, French Theory, and the Brazilian pop-art scene, reflecting Hudinilson Jr.'s unique method of cultural critique through appropriation. By exploring this intricate fusion of seemingly disparate materials, the book positions scrapbooking not as a trivial or domestic hobby, but as a politically charged artistic practice of resistance. It argues that Hudinilson Jr.'s Cadernos interrogate the intersections of identity, desire, and mass media, challenging dominant narratives and opening spaces for subversive readings within visual culture.
