Carroll Dunham
Fifty years of American artist Carroll Dunham's distinctive, energetic drawings For five decades, Carroll Dunham (b. 1949) has created paintings, prints, and sometimes sculptures, but drawing has always been the foundation of his practice. He has archived thousands of drawings as part of his daily routine, a selection of which are presented here and many of which have never been published before. As a young artist in the 1980s, Dunham asserted himself as a painter and worked abstractly at a time when Expressionism was ascendent. In subsequent decades his biomorphic abstractions gave way to outright figuration, with the artist creating hypersexualized, cartoon-like, violent, and sometimes grotesque characters that have been linked to underground comix, West Coast Funk Art, or Midwestern Chicago Imagism. His current work features green and purple people in bucolic landscapes engaged in battle or bacchanal. Other works consider the role of the artist, artist's studio, and art object, deeply influenced by philosophy, psychology, and an examination of gender and sexuality. Featuring about 115 works from the 1970s to today, this volume illuminates the depth of Dunham's drawing practice.

Raphael
The definitive survey of one of the masters of Italian Renaissance art, featuring groundbreaking new research by a leading expert on Raphael's life and work Raphael (Raffaello di Giovanni Santi; 1483-1520) is unquestionably one of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance. Despite living only thirty-seven years, he quickly emerged as a peer to both Leonardo and his avowed rival, Michelangelo. Raphael: Sublime Poetry spans his short but spectacular life and career, from his early training amid the culture of his native Urbino, through his prolific years in Florence, to his final, magnificent decade at the papal court in Rome. Though Raphael is best known for his meteoric success as a painter, draftsman, designer, and architect, this catalogue highlights his equal accomplishments as a humanist, antiquarian, and poet.Carmen C. Bambach offers fresh perspectives on the beloved artist, reconsidering his well-known masterpieces and uncovering the importance of rarely seen treasures. The publication also sheds new light on Raphael's relationship with women by identifying previously unrecognized models for his portraits and discussing the agency of his female patrons. Bringing together more than two hundred of Raphael's drawings, paintings, tapestries, and decorative arts from public and private collections around the world, this catalogue is rich in archival discoveries and firsthand technical analyses. Lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched, it is the definitive text on the artist's life, art, and enduring legacy.

Frederic Church
On the two-hundredth anniversary of Frederic Edwin Church's birth, leading scholars explore how his wide-ranging work continues to resonate in today's world The work of Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), renowned American landscape painter, was indelibly shaped by global travel. Church's art was defined by place: early trips took him to South America, across the northeastern United States, and to the Arctic; later he visited the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East; in his final decades, he spent long sojourns in Mexico. Intimate drawings and oil sketches executed on-site illuminate his encounters with new environments and cultures. Large, extravagantly detailed paintings produced for public exhibition made him internationally famous. The designed landscapes, extensive collections, and striking architecture of his home, Olana, in the Hudson Valley, reflect the many worlds through which he traveled. In Frederic Church: Global Artist, original essays by scholars from across the humanities reveal Church as an artist enmeshed in the economic and territorial expansionism of the nineteenth century. Church's works engage with questions of industrialization and environmental destruction, the rise and fall of empires, the construction of national identity, and the cataclysmic effects of slavery and civil war. This lavishly illustrated volume examines the artist in his time and demonstrates his continuing relevance in our own.

Pahari Paintings
An in-depth study of the innovation and range of Pahari painting that draws from one of the greatest collections ever assembled Artists in the Pahari kingdoms of India's northwest Himalayas produced paintings for religious and courtly purposes from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century. Exhibiting vibrant color and containing distinctive cultural and historical content, these works have long attracted collectors from around the world. This lavishly illustrated volume focuses on a singularly brilliant collection--now split among the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, and the Cincinnati Art Museum--assembled from the 1960s to the early 2000s by Catherine Glynn Benkaim, a Pahari paintings scholar, and her husband. Foregrounding recent research and fieldwork, scholars show how intervalley mobility and an ancestral village-based artist culture can explain the surprising range of styles seen in paintings from this dramatic, mountainous region. Essays move beyond problematic court attributions and identifications of Mughal influence to reposition the agency of artists and patrons working in collaboration across boundaries of Pahari kingdoms at the forefront of artistic praxis. Many of these paintings are published here for the first time, along with discussions of their more recent histories, full translations of inscriptions, and the collector's personal comments on the collecting of Pahari paintings.

Planetary Realism
Traditions of realism are brought together with the decolonial and ecological concept of "planetarity" to understand a new realism in contemporary art. The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old "realist" tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society's divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see--and feel--the planet? Surveying a body of planet-facing art, communal practices, and activism, Josephine Berry investigates art's power to break with capitalist realism and decarbonize the imagination. With chapters on feeling as world-making, the rupture of petroleum landscapes, artists' urban exodus, and migration as survival, Planetary Realism delves deeply into art's necessary reimagining of life on Earth.

The Story of Printmaking
A vivid history of the evolution of printmaking as a means of creative expression, from prehistory to the present day The significance of printmaking within the history of art is often underplayed, obscured or misunderstood. This book tells the story of artist prints from across the globe in a manner that is accessible and engaging. It demystifies how prints are made - from woodblock to etching - and explores how, throughout history, printmaking has defied easy categorisation, straddling 'fine' art practices and commercially minded production. In fact, it has been employed as much for creative experimentation as it has for disseminating information. Beginning in ancient East Asia and travelling through Renaissance Europe, revolutionary Mexico, and post-Apartheid South Africa, these ten chapters celebrate the interconnected nature of the printed image and its multiple histories, while illuminating the lesser-known players who have been deliberately or erroneously overlooked. Whether formed by slicing linoleum or plunging plates into acid, then distributed via bound books or pasted posters, the print has not just replicated the world, it has shaped it.

Points of View
This collection of essays provides dynamic new perspectives on 100 works of art that span centuries of human creativity around the globe Across ages and cultures, artists have found inspiration in the human urge for connection. This compendium of short, thought-provoking essays by the staff of The Metropolitan Museum of Art focuses on 100 selected works from across the Museum--both famous highlights and little-known gems--to explore art's expression of connectivity through the lenses of relationships, the self, politics, spirituality, and the environment. The more than two dozen contributors, including curators, conservators, designers, editors, educators, and librarians, investigate objects chosen from outside their areas of expertise that fascinate them, challenge them or arouse their curiosity. Contributions range from reflections on an enslaved girl who served as a foil for the Sasanian warrior-king Bahram Gur, both depicted on a fifth-century silver plate from Iran, to musings on Giorgio de Chirico's family history drawn from his painting Ariadne (1913). The result is a host of lively, engaging, and unexpected viewpoints on The Met collection, offering surprising insights into the works discussed and into the connections they inspire with our world and ourselves.

Azechi Umetaro
Umetaro Azechi was born in 1902 in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. For someone who intended to pursue a career as an artist, Umetaro's life began with two disadvantages: his birthplace was far from the major cities, and his parents were poor farmers.Nevertheless, Umetaro Azechi wanted to become an artist. Often, people from an underdog position develop astonishing energy when they have a goal in mind. Umetaro belonged to this species. He purchased a correspondence art course from Tokyo. In 1920, he came to Tokyo, took a job as a newspaper delivery boy, and continued his correspondence art course.When Tokyo was hit by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Umetaro Azechi was happy to return to his hometown. But two years later, he returned to Tokyo. He felt that he would not be able to fulfill his dream of an artistic career in the provinces. He got a new job at a government printing company. The company had the necessary tools and materials for printing, and Azechi began experimenting with zinc plates without any training.His art style was primitive, but intentionally so in the same way as the naive artists. He used the same striped patterns on both people and animals, showing the similarities between the two.
The Deformation
A fascinating account of the use and meaning of visual and spatial distortions in seventeenth-century art and architecture During the Catholic Reformation, patrons, artists, architects, and viewers, especially in Rome, were strongly drawn to visual and spatial distortions or "deformations"--works of art and architecture that were designed to be visually incomprehensible, at least initially. From Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome to the attention-grabbing prospettiva in the city's Palazzo Spada and the anamorphoses that define the corridors and walls of Minim and Jesuit buildings, The Deformation explores what this intriguing phenomenon reveals about contemporary religious belief, optics, and the natural sciences, as well as wider questions about attention and discernment. Failing to conform to an established ideal, deformations required a "reformation" to achieve that ideal. Anamorphic deformations, for example, could only be reformed into clarity when viewed from a particular angle or through a special mirror. Susanna Berger examines how deformations were experienced by beholders, and how they were embraced or opposed by critics. The book shows how deformations and related works--whether altar tabernacles, ephemeral religious architecture, churches, monumental sundials, colonnades with accelerated perspective, illusionistic frescoes, turned ivories, or painted anamorphoses--focused observers' attention on theological mysteries and the social power and sophistication of patrons. The book's rich illustrations include two gatefolds and some anamorphic images that can be seen without distortion by using an included reflective insert as a mirror. Looking at writings as well as visual works in multiple artistic media not typically considered in relation to each other, The Deformation offers a new interpretation of deformation that highlights the delay between perception and discernment.

Practical Design of the Acoustic Guitar and Similar Instruments
This book is for folks that build acoustic guitars and similar instruments like ukuleles and acoustic bass guitars that want to begin doing design work but do not necessarily have technical backgrounds. The term "design work" describes both structural modifications to the instrument and esthetic changes to the instrument body. Structural modifications range from very simple things like designing string sets to support alternate tunings, to more complex efforts like designing completely new instruments for nontraditional pitch ranges. Although all such engineering can be done by trial and error, this book discusses more reliable and less time-consuming approaches that help the designer get it right the first time. The material is presented in design order, starting with the pitch range of the instrument to be designed, proceeding to the design of the scale length and string set for that pitch range, and continuing with the size, shape, and structure of the instrument body. Also provided is basic design information in a math-free format that is easy to understand. The design approaches discussed here make use of free online instrument design software, including the "G" Thang Acoustic Guitar Design Tool. The book also serves as the user's manual for "G" Thang. This software enables the designer to use powerful design technology without complicated engineering math.

Collage Your Way to Yourself
Join artist Kathleen Schonauer to create a visual collage journal - a safe place for you to develop your inner vision - a place where you can express your dreams, ideas, hopes, and fears. Like an old friend, your journal keeps your secrets - you can tell it anything without fear of judgement. The symbolic use of collage images, intuitive writing, Tarot, color, art elements, and art history covered here will guide you along on your journey of discovery - the discovery of your true, inner self.A collage is an artistic technique that involves assembling various materials onto a single surface to create a unified composition. These materials can include photographs, magazine clippings, fabric, paper, paint, and even found objects. By combining different textures, colors, and images, collages create layered and dynamic visuals that evoke emotion, tell stories, or explore abstract concepts. Artists often use collage to express their creativity by juxtaposing unrelated elements, encouraging viewers to interpret the work in unique ways.This art form can be traced back to early 20th-century movements like Cubism and Dadaism, where it was used to challenge traditional ideas of art. Today, collages are popular in both fine art and everyday crafts, offering a versatile and accessible medium. Whether for personal expression or professional projects, collages inspire imagination by blending materials into a cohesive and impactful piece of art.
