Die Buchreihe ist dabei nicht allein f羹r das Fachpublikum konzipiert, sondern soll vor allem auch dazu dienen, den aktuellen Forschungsstand nach au?en zu tragen und einer breiteren ?ffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. Der Konzeption der gesamten Reihe liegen gemeinsame methodische Leitlinien zugrunde, insbesondere der dynamische Begriff des Kulturtransfers, der die kulturhistorischen Prozesse zwischen den einzelnen gesellschaftlichen und ethnischen Gruppen des ostmitteleurop瓣ischen Raums am besten beschreiben kann. Im Fokus stehen damit die Funktion der Kunstwerke und ihre historische Bedingtheit, ihre lokale Verwurzelung ebenso wie die interregionale Verflechtung. Dem wird man am ehesten gerecht, wenn man Vermittlungswege und -akteure im Einzelnen nachvollzieht. Die Achsen des Kulturtransfers, das hei?t insbesondere die sich stets wandelnden politisch-kulturellen Beziehungen der Metropolen und Zentren, bildeten das Grundger羹st f羹r die Umrisse des Darstellungsgebiets. Es umfasst die historischen L瓣nder Polens, Litauens, Ungarns, B繹hmens und die 繹stlichen Teile des Heiligen R繹mischen Reichs Deutscher Nation, kurz: die neuen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten Polen, Litauen, Lettland, Estland, die Tschechische und die Slowakische Republik, Ungarn, Slowenien und Rum瓣nien sowie die 繹stlichen Teile Deutschlands und ?sterreichs, dazu die benachbarten Regionen in Wei?russland, der Ukraine, Kroatien, Serbien usf.

Wayne Thiebaud
This catalogue accompanies the first UK show of Wayne Thiebaud's quintessentially postwar American paintings Wayne Thiebaud is considered one of the greatest and most original American artists of the 20th century. This publication accompanies the first museum show of his work in the United Kingdom. Throughout his long life, working mainly in Sacramento, California, Thiebaud developed a unique style of painting to express his vision of modern American subjects. This publication will present Thiebaud's remarkable, vibrant and lushly painted still lives of quintessentially post-war American subjects, from diner food and deli counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines. These are the paintings that established Thiebaud's name in the USA in the early 1960s. Thiebaud considered the everyday objects of American life to be a vital subject for contemporary art, and he saw his work as continuing the radical legacy of earlier still-life paintings by Chardin, Manet, Cezanne and others. Thiebaud believed in the importance of commonplace objects that might otherwise be overlooked or considered kitsch. His work turns hot dogs, lemon meringue pies and glossy cream cakes into the stuff of profound modern painting.

Art for All. Impressionists
This inspiring collection covers the work, the lives, and the enduring impact of five key Impressionists, in one volume that's a primer and a celebration of probably the most popular artistic genre of all time. Each featured artist broke boundaries in different ways, astounding late 19th-century society with their boldness of vision and technique.Edgar Degas explored movement and the human form with masterly style and innovative compositions, most famously of dancers, racehorses, and busy streetscapes. Claude Monet was a maestro of light and atmosphere, capturing the fleeting moment with his iconic water lilies and series paintings. Pierre-Auguste Renoir celebrated beauty and sensuality, bringing vibrancy to everyday scenes with lush brushwork and a radiant palette. Paul Gauguin sought inspiration in the exotic, using bold colors and symbolism, often to unsettling effect. Finally, Vincent van Gogh's highly emotive use of color and vigorous brushstrokes conveyed his private turmoil and did much to lay the groundwork for Expressionism.Together, these five creative masters redefined what art dared to achieve, emphasizing personal expression alongside their exploration of light, color, and perspective. Their output marked a pivotal shift to modern artistic freedoms and expectations.This collection looks beyond their most famous works and includes an extensive text on each artist's oeuvre, alongside a detailed biography and more than 400 high-quality color illustrations.

Hiroshige
A celebration of one of Japan's most talented, prolific, and popular artists Over a career spanning four decades, the prolific Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced thousands of landscape and nature prints, hundreds of paintings commissioned by the samurai elite, and many illustrated books. His work appealed to every stratum of society. While some of his landscape prints, such as Kanbara- Evening Snow and Sudden Shower over Ōhashi and Atake, are well-known examples of Japanese art, the full range of his output is less familiar. Hiroshige came from a samurai family, but he crossed social boundaries and devoted himself to depicting popular customs and the world around him. His work is distinguished by an air of gentle grace and decorum, perhaps arising partly from his steady temperament. His calm artistic vision sustained his contemporaries through the uncertainties of daily life and changing times. A great colorist, he stands out for discovering a subtle lyricism in the experience of travel and a bond between people and the natural world. Featuring highlights from leading private collections of Hiroshige prints alongside works by Hiroshige and other artists from the British Museum's outstanding collection of Japanese art and from other major collections, this lavishly illustrated new publication celebrates one of the world's most accomplished artists.

Arts and Crafts
The Arts & Crafts movement began as a backlash against industrialism and the prevailing stylistic ideals in mid-19th century Britain. The basic ideas of its followers, including the art critic John Ruskin and the artist William Morris, developed into a global movement, spreading through craft colonies and influencing professionals in several fields, from design and architecture to ornamentation and cultivation. The movement reached Sweden a few decades later and expressed itself as a romanticization of the simple life, tied to the home. One of the leading figures of the movement in Sweden is Carl Larsson, whose colorful paintings are known for depicting the simplicity of everyday life.In this book, twelve authors focus on the home environments, art schools, museums and other organizations where the ideals and visions were created, interpreted and developed. We get to read about the movement's continued relevance for our time; not only as a beloved pattern treasure that inspires and forms the basis of new styles, but also our relationship to creation, sustainability thinking and lifestyle.

Hiroshi Yoshida Travels
Hiroshi Yoshida (吉田 博, Yoshida Hiroshi, September 19, 1876 - April 5, 1950) was a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. Along with Hasui Kawase, he is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style, and is noted especially for his landscape prints. Yoshida made numerous trips around the world, with the aim of getting to know different artistic expressions and making works of different landscapes. He traveled widely, and was particularly known for his images of non-Japanese subjects done in traditional Japanese woodblock style, including the Taj Mahal, the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon, and other National Parks in the United States.Yoshida was known to be meticulous about the process and quality of his finished prints. He did not give his prints the "seal of approval" or the stamp of his name, "jizuri" (self-print), unless he was extremely satisfied with the end result. In 1925, he hired a group of professional carvers and printers, and established his own studio. Prints were made under his close supervision. Yoshida combined the ukiyo-e collaborative system with the sōsaku-hanga principle of "artist's prints", and formed a third school, separating himself from the shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga movement. At the age of 73, Yoshida took his last sketching trip to Izu and Nagaoka and painted his last works The Sea of Western Izu and The Mountains of Izu. He became sick on the trip and returned to Tokyo where he died on 5 April, 1950, at his home.
Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia
A remarkable selection of pan-Asian Buddhist art, showcasing the history and diversity of Buddhist schools with examples across sculptures, textiles, reliquaries, manuscripts and morePublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This gloriously illustrated celebration of Buddhist art addresses the development of Buddhism and its visual language over a period of nearly 2,000 years, as the faith traveled across Asia and was embraced by diverse cultures. Realms of the Dharma brings together more than 200 works of Buddhist art from India, mainland and island Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, Central Asia and East Asia. The book is divided into seven chapters, beginning with an introduction to Buddhism and Buddhist art, followed by chapters on South Asia, Southeast Asia, Nepal and Tibet, China, Korea and Japan. The artworks, all from the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offer a broad perspective on the birth of Buddhism in South Asia and its spread throughout the continent over centuries. The artworks include a stunning and diverse range of Buddhas, stupas and reliquaries, religious manuscripts, paintings and sculptures depicting various Buddhist deities, portraits of Buddhist masters and other ritual objects. The remarkably successful expansion of Buddhism was in part due to the ability of its principles to be adapted to and assimilated within a range of preexisting belief systems. Gorgeously illustrated with over 250 color reproductions of these exemplary artworks and religious objects, this book celebrates that achievement.
Postmigration, Transculturality and the Transversal Politics of Art
Design, Displacement, Migration
Design, Displacement, Migration: Spatial and Material Histories gathers a collection of scholarly and creative voices--spanning design, art, and architectural history; design studies; curation; poetry; activism; and social sciences--to interrogate the intersections of design and displacement.The contributors foreground objects, spaces, visual, and material practices and consider design's role in the empire, the state, and various colonizing regimes in controlling the mass movement of people, things, and ideas across borders, as well as in social acts that resist forced mobility and immobility, or enact new possibilities. By consciously surfacing echoes, rhymes, and dissonances among varied histories, this volume highlights local specificity while also accounting for the vectors of displacement and design across borders and histories. Design, Displacement, Migration: Spatial and Material Histories shows displacement to be a lens for understanding space and materiality and vice versa, particularly within the context of modernity and colonialism.This book will be of interest to scholars working in design history, design studies, architectural history, art history, urban studies, and migration studies.
Dale Gibson
Although best known as a prolific author of cutting-edge, widely respected writing about many areas of the law, ranging from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to torts, M矇tis rights, privacy, equality, environmental rights, and legal history, Dale Gibson (1933-2022) had a stellar career as a distinguished professor of law in both Manitoba and Alberta and as a prominent advocate in the courts, including frequent appearances in the Supreme Court of Canada.Once called "one of the fastest pens in the West" for his contributions to the patriation of the Charter, Professor Gibson's creative output over his long life was not limited to the law; less well-known are the numerous products of a lifetime of artistic expressions, as necessary to him as breathing. Equally creative in poetry and the visual arts, this book brings together for the first time some of the artifacts of Dale's supple mind and artistic hand, along with a remarkably humorous autobiographical essay and a comprehensive bibliography of Professor Gibson's contributions to Canadian law and legal history.
Making History with Manuscripts in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
This volume interrogates the role of the manuscript medium in conveying history to medieval and early modern readers. The contributors adopt a capacious understanding of "history" to explore history-writing in its materiality from a variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives. The core contentions of this book are that the material features of manuscripts helped shaping historical narratives and defining history conceptually, and that therefore, the makers of these manuscripts played an instrumental role in history-writing alongside authors. Ranging from the ninth to the sixteenth centuries and comprising materials from across Western Europe in Latin and the vernaculars, the ten chapters of this volume uncover stakes and strategies tied to highly specific contexts, such as late thirteenth-century Corbie or fifteenth-century Zurich, yet partaking in a shared practice of history-writing with manuscripts. Manuscript makers "made" history through layout, rewriting, illumination, compilation, choice of script, and annotation, and conferred history-writing its material dimension. This volume therefore situates the writing of history in its material dimension and invites us to consider medieval and early modern historiography in its medium.
Black Earth Rising
Black Earth Rising presents works by artists of African diasporic, Latin American, and Native American identity that address vital questions of land, presence, climate crisis, and social and environmental justice against the historical backdrop of European settlement of the New World. Supported by an exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art curated by the author, this timely publication invites us to trace and make the connections between race, the climate crisis, and colonialism.Works by over 150 contemporary artists are presented in three thematic sections: Reckoning, Reimagining, and Reclaiming. Complex and intertwined concepts are explored: forced migration and slavery, the environmental consequences of colonialism, the occupation of Native lands, the urban plight of Black and Brown communities, and how cultural practices and knowledge systems of indigenous peoples can change our perspectives of the natural world.Compelling and thought-provoking, Black Earth Rising presents a discourse around climate change that situates the voices of people of color at the active center rather than on the passive periphery, and expands our understanding of aesthetic perspectives on climate change through artworks that reach to the poetic and lyrical rather than the didactic.Learn more about the exhibition at artbma.org
Frida Kahlo's Month in Paris
The richly illustrated story of a brief yet pivotal encounter in Paris between Frida Kahlo and Mary Reynolds, two luminaries of the Surrealist movement In February 1939, while visiting Paris at the invitation of writer André Breton, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) became sick and convalesced at the home of American expatriate Mary Reynolds (1891-1950), an avant-garde bookbinder, collector of Surrealist artist books, and partner of Marcel Duchamp. This book traces the story of Kahlo and Reynolds's connection and its influence on their work, even after the friendship had elapsed. Kahlo and Reynolds's intense encounter unfolds in this volume through the artworks they each made, their shared exploration of Reynolds's expansive Surrealist library, and letters from Kahlo to her lover, American photographer Nickolas Muray, in which she recounted her time in Paris. Included in this focused study are paintings and drawings by Kahlo, selections of books by Reynolds, photographs by Muray of Kahlo, depictions of Reynolds by artists in Paris, and a selection of letters between Kahlo and Reynolds describing their defining experience together.

Lexicon of Fabricant Dies on Rhodian Amphora Stamps. Volume 3
In the Hellenistic Period, Rhodes played an important role in the Mediterranean trade. Rhodian wine was transported in stamped amphorae produced both on the island and in the Peraea. Following the Lexicon of Eponym Dies on Rhodian Amphora Stamps (4 volumes, 2015-2017), we present here the third of four volumes on Rhodian fabricants, with 1492 dies belonging to 127 fabricants whose names start with the letters from eta to mu. The total collection will overpass 5248 dies endorsed by about 485 fabricants. The stamps belong mostly to the Benaki Collection hosted in the Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria, and from the excavations in the city both made by the Museum and CEAlex. For dies which do not exist in Alexandria, we present samples from other cities in Egypt as well as from Delos, Athens National Museum, Athenian Agora and some previously published stamps from excavation sites in other Eastern Mediterranean consumption centres. The stamps are presented in the alphabetical order of the fabricants. In the matrix names, numbers do not refer to any chronological dating order or stylistic difference but to the order of our registration. Under the title of each fabricant, following some brief information - the activity period of the fabricant dated by means of his connection with the eponyms relying mostly on the chronology established by Gerald Finkielsztejn, the total number of matrices naming the fabricant, the eventual associations with eponyms -, the different identified dies naming him/her are presented with a photograph and a rubbing, beginning with the dies accompanied by month-names in alphabetical order followed by the dies without month names. We hope that this lexicon will help the archaeologists to identify the stamps found in their excavations as well as the specialists of amphorology and ancient trade.
Lorna Simpson
The first publication on the painting practice of artist Lorna Simpson, whose work combines abstraction and figuration to highlight complexities of memory and representation This revelatory first look at the paintings of Lorna Simpson (b. 1960), an artist who has worked primarily as a photographer for much of her career, examines this significant new development in her practice over the last decade. Simpson's recent works, midway between photography and painting, advance her incisive explorations of gender, race, and history through bodies that emerge and disappear--peering from inky surfaces or dissolving into landscapes of melting ice. Her paintings draw on documentary photographs and images from vintage Ebony and Jet magazines, combining screen-printed collages of found images with washes of colorful ink on fiberglass, wood, or clayboard. The texts in this volume explore how Simpson's fascination with time, memory, and the indeterminacy of representation propels her experiments in works that are both figurative and abstract, portraits and landscapes, paintings and photographs.

The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: Vol. 2
From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his longtime collaborator Gis癡le Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers' understanding of the land called North America. For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character--an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years, and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which a profound truths emerge--a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities. Volume Two, which takes us from the moment of confederation to the present day, is a heartbreaking and intimate examination of the tragedies of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Zeroing in on the story of one family told across generations, Miss Chief bears witness to the genocidal forces and structures that dispossessed and attempted to erase Indigenous peoples. Featuring many figures pulled from history as well as new individuals created for this story, Volume Two explores the legacy of colonial violence in the children's work camps (called residential schools by some), the Sixties Scoop, and the urban disconnection of contemporary life. Ultimately, it is a story of resilience and reconnection, and charts the beginnings of an Indigenous future that is deeply rooted in an experience of Indigenous history--a perspective Miss Chief, a millennia-old legendary being, can offer like none other. Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead.
Heartbeat Art
An innovative history of heartbeats, pulse, and technoscience in the works of a wide international array of artists and composers. Heartbeat Art is the first study of how artists have engaged with heartbeats from the 1960s to the present, creating sophisticated and technological works that project in unique ways the circulatory processes of the body beyond its physical limits. Drawing on a long history of scientific and artistic experimentation, Claudia Arozqueta offers detailed case studies of heartbeat works by a wide range of international artists working at the interconnections of our bodies, art, and science and technology, including Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros, Heinz Mack, Brian O'Doherty, Teresa Burga, and many others. Technoscientific advances in monitoring heartbeats and pulses in the nineteenth century--such as Ren矇 Laennec's stethoscope, ?tienne-Jules Marey's sphygmograph and chronophotograph, and Willem Einthoven's electrocardiograph--transformed the movements of the heart into audible and visual representations. Artists saw in the language of these scientific technologies a way of mingling the inner with the outer, the physical with the technological, and data with flesh. Using archival research, interviews, and correspondence, Arozqueta describes significant works in detail, discusses their contexts and development, and examines the larger classes and contours of this neglected area of artistic activity. Other artists in the volume include ?liane Radigue, Jean Dupuy, Linda Montano, Catherine Richards, Diana Domingues, Mona Hatoum, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Christian Boltanski.
Shipping Sculptures from Early Modern Italy
Shipping Sculptures from Early Modern Italy: The Mechanics, Costs, Risks, and Rewards focuses on enormous amounts of sculptures moved from Italy to Spain from ca. 1500-1750. An analysis of an important body of unpublished archival documentation regarding the practical issues involved in making and transporting sculpture, provide the basis for this study of the development of technologies, infrastructure, and labor organization necessary to make such challenging transports of moving sculptures by land and sea possible. Artists, patrons, and agents had the eventual movement to a destination at the center of decision making when new sculptures were commissioned to send. Sending antiquities or second-hand works required even more planning and care. Divided into a series of case studies of major sculptures, Shipping Sculptures offers a new approach to the study of cross-cultural artistic exchange, state gifts, collecting and patronage, by examining the practical details of object movement over challenging geographies.
The Mobile Image
A study of the production and movement of prints in colonial South America. Printed images have had a central place in art-historical studies of colonial Spanish America, but scholars have typically focused on imported prints, designed and produced in Europe. The Mobile Image focuses instead on works printed in colonial Lima, generating there a distinctive print culture that served local and regional needs, while also appealing to European print consumers. Inexpensive, easily transportable, and numerous, Lima's prints traversed the varied geographies of the Viceroyalty of Peru both as loose sheets and within the protective covers of printed books. In the process, lime簽o devotional prints encouraged the development of shared regional imaginaries about the sacred Andean landscape, a space marked by miracle-working Virgins, potential saints, and powerful images of Christ. These same prints traveled abroad, where they promoted iconographies developed in Lima and influenced European conceptions of the Andes. Simultaneously, the visual language of lime簽o prints often challenges conventional approaches to interpreting colonial depictions of race. In analyzing lime簽o prints, and the identities of their makers, patrons, and consumers, The Mobile Image demonstrates that race is harder to recognize in colonial images than we might think. Unearthing hundreds of forgotten prints, Emily C. Floyd provides a fresh resource for interpreting colonial artworks, troubling established understandings of their aesthetics, and compelling us to reexamine colonial South American material cultures.
Ito Nisaburo
Nisaburo Ito was born in Kyoto, with conflicting reports stating his birth year as 1910 per Helen Merritt's standard reference book (referenced in the bibliography below), while other sources suggest the year 1905.Ito received artistic training under Tsuchida Bakusen at the Kyoto City Specialist School of Painting. The artist's portfolio comprises a substantial number of designs, exhibiting a distinct style in his prints. Some designs adopt a "minimalistic" approach in composition and color palette, drawing influence from traditional Chinese and Japanese paintings. Others resonate more with the popular artisan designs within the shin hanga style associated with Uchida and Tokuriki Tomikichiro.Itō Nisaburō (also written Nizaburō), best known for the shin hanga woodblock prints he designed for the prolific Kyoto publishing house Uchida Publishing, was also a talented painter in a style that combined Western yōga and Japanese nihonga painting techniques. In addition to creating quite a few prints for Uchida, he also worked with the print publishing company Matsukyū, established by the Kyoto artist Tokuriki Tomikichirō (1902-2000), and may have self-published several woodblock prints. This title gives a fascinating view into the print creating process.
Tacita Dean
A highly anticipated and richly illustrated anthology of essays on the work of artist Tacita Dean. This volume explores the deeply-influential work of Tacita Dean, recognized increasingly as one of the key artists of our times. Emerging initially as part of the generation of the so-called Young British Artists in the 1990s, Dean has reinvented the manner in which artists use analogue mediums such as drawing, photography, and film, prompting major questions in her work around the issues of time, memory, and history. Dean's films embrace long takes that achieve a near-photographic stillness; they have been dedicated to obsolescent objects or stranded buildings, failed quests, and extraordinary figures--usually other artists and writers--nearing the end of their lives. But Dean's contemplative films have been rigorously reinvented as a form over the course of her career and linked to a widening series of projects involving writing, chalk drawings, found photographs, dance, and theater. This anthology explores the artist's expansive practice, gathering essays and interviews by authors from an array of disciplines including art criticism, philosophy, literature, and film. Spanning twenty-five years of the artist's career, the volume includes writings by George Baker, Douglas Crimp, Brian Dillon, Briony Fer, Hal Foster, Mark Godfrey, Louise Hornby, Rosalind Krauss, Elisabeth Lebovici, Jean-Luc Nancy, Tamara Trodd, Marina Warner, Peter Wollen, and the artist herself.
