Some Architects' Portraits in Nineteenth-Century America
This is the first study devoted to the portraits of nineteenth-century American architects. It is an examination of the way the iconography of such images changed over time to reflect the changing social status of the architect as the profession evolved during the century. Portraits in oil on canvas, drawings, and photography in the text range from Charles Willson Peale's image of William Buckland in the late eighteenth century to John Singer Sargent's portrait of Richard Morris Hunt in the late 1890s. The book has been praised as "a unique use of visual resources, supported by formidable primary research and a thorough analysis of secondary literature." Illustrations.
Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 1551
This volume consists of three sets of watercolor drawings, each depicting non-Europea peoples or places in Asia and the Americas. The volume belonged to the famous collector and antiquarian Camillo Massino (1620-1677), and was part of a large donation to the library by his descendants in the 19th century. This is the first in-depth investigation of the three series in terms of materials or manufacture, possible relations to one another or other contemporaneous illustrations, and their role in advancing understanding of the depicted peoples. Clues within the drawings, their style and content suggest not only new interpretations, but specific links between and among them, and likely origins, placing them squarely into the most intense period in the early modern era of European interest in these cultures.

Optical Corrections in the Sculpture of Donatello
There is considerable evidence for Donatello's use of optical corrections that scholars have largely ignored. It may come in some degree from an unwillingness to accept the idea that such visual effects, developed only in the 16th century & not common until the Baroque, were even possible in the early Renaissance. This study, by its arguments & its photographic evidence, may reopen the discussion of optical corrections in the work of Donatello &, perhaps, in that of some of his contemporaries & followers as well. Contents: Introduction; Donatello's Sculpture in the Round; The Reliefs; Bibliography of Frequently Cited Sources; & 64 black & white photos of Donatello's sculptures.
Anatomia Humana
Anatomia Humana is a very special work featuring 533 study drawings by the anatomist Ronny B. Koseck. Many people wanted to see the original drawings from his anatomical studies to understand what one does and, not least, what one has to learn during an anatomical studies. For the first time, the author, artist, and anatomist opens his diaries, folders, and paper collections in which he created his extensive study-like drawings. If you just recognized the so-called Triple A, then you already know what makes this book so special. Ronny B. Koseck has been an artist since 2005, and since 2009 he has studied humanistic teachings extensively to become one of the few anatomists to be able to work in this field. Since he always kept his own notes, it's not surprising that quite a lot has accumulated since then. He never expected to present his own works to the public - until now! This volume alone contains 533 (+1) of his works, of which there are well over 1,000. The most diverse aspects of the humanist's bones as well as his various muscles are explored here. In order to ultimately focus on the drawings, this publication is more of an illustrated book than a teaching tool. The studies carried out have captions so that you, too, know exactly what the studies were about. In this volume, you will find the original and therefore authentic study drawings, some of which will surely inspire you (...).

Blue
Discover how the color blue evolved from a rare and sacred pigment to a powerful tool of artistic expression--from medieval altarpieces to modernist experiments. From the cobalt glazes of ancient Egypt to Yves Klein's bold monochromes, blue has carried meanings both sacred and subversive across eras. Along the way, blue has been a symbol of power and purity, of sorrow and transcendence. This book traces how those meanings, symbolism, and iconography shifted through the evolving availability of pigments such as lapis lazuli, indigo, and synthetic ultramarine. Readers will see how a color, once costly and elusive, became central to artistic practice, both materially and metaphorically.A wide-ranging selection of iconic works--from Egyptian faience and medieval manuscripts to Giotto's radiant frescoes, Vermeer's quiet interiors, Monet's shimmering waters, and the radical experiments of Hokusai, Picasso, and Yves Klein--show how artists have used blue to evoke emotion, suggest atmosphere, and reimagine the visible world. Each image is paired with a thoughtful reflection on its making and meaning; and how the pigment was sourced, applied, and understood in its cultural moment.Designed for visual impact and intellectual clarity, the fascinating juxtaposition of art from all periods and all continents invites readers to look closely at masterpieces both surprising and familiar --and to reconsider how a single color has reflected and reshaped the human experience.
Pink
Discover how the color pink evolved from a symbol of innocence and frivolity to a powerful vehicle for artistic play, ambiguity, and subversion. Long associated with delicacy and sentiment, pink has also been used to express grandeur, sensuality, irony, and rebellion. This richly illustrated volume explores how the meaning and function of pink have changed across cultures and centuries-- from Sassetta's Renaissance saints and Boucher's idyllic visions to the dreamlike florals of O'Keeffe and the saturated islands of Christo and Jeanne-Claude.Readers will encounter pink as a mark of divine humility in religious paintings by El Greco and Pontormo; as a signal of luxury and desire in the flirtatious scenes of Fragonard and the refined elegance of Boucher; and as a radical material in modern and contemporary works by Paul Signac, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Takashi Murakami. The book is organized around forty artworks that each feature pink in a striking or significant way.Arranged loosely in chronological order, each entry pairs a full-page image with a short, insightful essay that reveals how artists used pink--through pigment, and depictions of clothing, light, and flesh--to shape meaning and mood. Throughout, timelines, maps, and sidebars offer cultural context and historical depth, including a vivid chart of historically and poetically named pinks--from cuisse de nymphe and rose bonbon to vieux rose and rose vineux--that reflect the color's remarkable expressive range.Visually layered and full of unexpected connections, Pink invites readers to look again at a color too often dismissed--and to see how it has illuminated, disguised, and transformed works of art for centuries.

In Praise of Make-Up
Why do women wear make-up? Their answers are often evasive: "To feel good? Could they stop wearing make-up? "No!" The idea of no longer wearing make-up can even be perceived as an attack on identity.In an elegant, luminous style, the author plunges us into a history of make-up that demonstrates the importance of the cosmetic gesture since human beings became civilized. "S'arranger" is an art of compromise, of openness, a benevolent game rather than a deceptive artifice. Behind a lipstick or mascara, there's a whole way of being, more nuanced, more enchanted, less violent than that of men.

From Darkness Into Light
This journey began with a simple desire to connect with fellow film photographers. What started as a casual meet-up soon blossomed into a regular gathering where we shared skills and tips on getting the best out of our film cameras, whether they were 35mm, medium-format, 110, folding, rangefinder, or single-lens reflex. From the luxurious Leicas to the charmingly affordable Prakticas, every camera produced stunning photographs-once the light leaks were fixed and the focus was spot on.But it wasn't just about the technicalities; it was about forming conversations and creating a dialogue around our shared passion.Over the past year, a diverse group of photographers found themselves exploring cities, parks, train stations, and woodlands, all in pursuit of bringing their subjects from darkness into light. Our challenges were reviewed in a WhatsApp chat, where we critiqued each other's work while always offering encouragement. Those who were timid at the start have grown into confident artists, deeply passionate about their craft. Regardless of age, we have all learned from one another and found motivation to create more.This book, featuring 124 photographs from 12 photographers, is a visual essay of that journey. For some, it may feel like a spiritual experience; for others, it's the joy of using old technology with its four simple features: film sensitivity, iris, shutter, and focus. Through a mix of calculated precision and serendipitous guesswork, we've crafted this collection of photography.
Constructing Radiance
A celebrated artist in China and the US, Li Hongwei is known for his artistic, conceptual, and technical fusion of the past and present in innovative works that combine classical Chinese ceramics and the tenets of Western modernism. Constructing Radiance is the companion to Hongwei's 2024 exhibition at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum at Alfred University. Sculpture, a product of constructing forms in three-dimensional space, is embedded in the history of human endeavor and is often associated with a search for meaning. Radiance is an ephemeral condition, a reflection of light or a rare luminosity. Radiance often suggests an exquisite harmony as universals underlying reality unite in timeless balance. These words which contextualize the exhibition suggest a framework for contemplating the ever-expanding achievement of sculptor Li Hongwei.

Notes of Ingress
(This edition does not include the original artwork.) Notes of Ingress is a mesmerizing and deeply mysterious work that eludes ordinary classification. Is it a book? Not in the traditional sense. A living threshold is what it is; a collaboration between the living and the dead, scribed by Cain Helsson through the voices of spirit-possessed mediums. Its structure is deliberately disorienting, weaving together overlapping voices, contradictions, and harmonies. Indeed, if one were to describe it periphrastically, it could be said to mirror-both in its nature and in the reader's experience of it-the chaotic and multifaceted world of spirit contact.The foreword of the book, written by Arthur Veil, sets the tone with a warning: this is not a work for the curious or casual reader. It is meant for initiates-those who already stand within or just beyond the "circle of initiatory fire." The prose is rich and archaic, and I imagine it would work even better as a read-aloud. Its rhythms echo the ancient cadences of grimoires or esoteric manuscripts. The content is spiritual and a bit surreal, with a narrative that bounces around to the various parts of the personality, like a film that jump cuts between parallel storylines.One of the most striking aspects of Notes of Ingress is its authenticity. The voices of the spirits-whether they are the dead, the never-born, or figures like Lucifer-feel palpable and immediate. The book's visual elements, crafted under the guidance of Lucifer himself by illustrators like Fares Kaze, are not mere decorations but transmissions in their own right, adding another dimension to the work. The interplay between text and imagery creates a holistic experience that transcends the written word.The book thematically investigates the transitional spaces that exist between life and death, between what is seen and what is unseen. The practices it describes-like shape-leaping, night-sitting, and spirit possession-are rooted in ancient traditions yet feel fully relevant today. Of note is a section detailing the Benandanti, a secret society of spirit-warriors who do battle with witches in dreamlike realms. Its description of the Benandanti's rituals and initiations and of the Lombard's gift of witch-fire is so vivid that it renders the realm of the mythical undifferentiated from that of the real.Still, Notes of Ingress poses challenges to readers. With its non-linear narrative and multiple intersecting voices, the text can feel a bit like a maze. And let's face it: the old-timey language isn't going to appeal to everyone. But these features are very much the book's design. Like any good ghost story, Ingress wants to unsettle, to make you confront the dark and the unknown.To sum up, Notes of Ingress is a profound and disturbing esoteric work of literature. It is a mirror, a blade, a maze, and a key-all at once. For those who are ready to traverse its shadowy pages, it offers not only understanding but also transformation. Cain Helsson and the spirits who guided this work have crafted something truly unique: a book that is not only read but also lived through, a doorway to places beyond the veil.
