Remembrance and Renewal
A revelatory look at midcentury American artistic responses to the Holocaust, and the role of the Jewish experience in the development of modern art The profound effects of the Holocaust and the Jewish experience of World War II left an indelible mark on artists of the time. This insightful book delves into the impact of these events on American art and seeks answers to the questions that confronted artists as the mass deportation and murder of Europe's Jews came to light. Through paintings, sculpture, photography, drawings, prints, and designs for memorials by Louise Nevelson, Mark Rothko, Ben Shahn, Frank Stella, and many others, this volume highlights the intersection of Jewish experience and modern art, a subject that has been largely neglected in art historical studies. Jennifer McComas draws on the Jewish theological concepts of destruction, exile, memory, and repair to trace artistic responses and show how they helped define a transformative era of American art. Essays also explore how Jewish Americans memorialized the victims in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and how artists in the final decades of the twentieth century continued to confront its legacy. A timeline of events pertaining to World War II and Jewish communal life in the United States provides additional context for the choices made by artists as they addressed an unprecedented catastrophe in their work.

James McNeil Whistler
An indispensable introduction to the life and work of James McNeill Whistler, whose atmospheric paintings and aesthetic theories cemented his international reputation as one of the most influential artists of the modern age James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) was an irrepressible force in 19th-century art who swept aside convention and innovated in all aspects of his art and life. Both a combative public figure and the creator of paintings and prints of serene beauty, Whistler was relentless in pursuing his artistic ideals. His name has become synonymous with a certain type of landscape--mysterious, atmospheric, and evocative. This book is a concise introduction to Whistler's life and work. It charts the development of his career--from his realist scenes of modern life in Paris and London to his enigmatic portraits and final accomplishments as a printmaker. Bringing together a selection of exquisite paintings, arresting portraits, and works on paper from across the artist's career, it highlights the distinctive attention to composition and display that became central to his artistic identity. Emphasising the key events of Whistler's life, including his many travels and well-publicized disputes with friends and critics alike, it celebrates a unique artist whose vision and principles defied the conventions of his time.
The Collected Writings (1991-2024) of a Mortal to Death
The first in a landmark three-volume series gathering the complete writings of an indispensable voice in contemporary thought and aesthetics. No Place Press is collaborating with Jalal Toufic on an ambitious publishing project: The Collected Writings (1991-2024) of a Mortal to Death: Jalal Toufic. Spanning three volumes of more than six hundred pages each, the series gathers re-edited versions of his earlier works alongside two newly written books, arranged and organized by the author himself. For new readers, the volumes provide an introduction to Toufic's central concepts--including the withdrawal of tradition past a surpassing disaster, radical closure, silence-over, the 180-degree over-turn, and the dancer's two bodies--while for longtime readers they offer a comprehensive view of more than three decades of thought, presented in their most rigorous and fully articulated form. Yet, in keeping with Toufic's practice--which participates in untimely collaboration (including with future filmmakers, thinkers, and artists) and abides in the suspension of the avenir of messianism/Mahdism--some of these works remain forthcoming even after their inclusion in the Collected Writings. Volume 1 (2025) includes newly revised editions of Toufic's first three books--Distracted (1991/2003); (Vampires): An Uneasy Essay on the Undead in Film (1993/2003); and Over-Sensitivity (1996/2009)--together with the script Jouissance in Postwar Beirut (2014) and, new, The Unreviewed Writings of a Peerless Thinker (2024).

Constable
A captivating celebration of one of the most important painters of the nineteenth century and the continuing relevance of his work John Constable (1776-1837) is considered one of England's greatest landscape painters.

Showcasing the deep collection of Constable's work at the Yale Center for British Art, this lavishly illustrated volume situates the artist within the culture of his time and considers his rich legacy.

Aubrey Levinthal - Mirror Matter
These introspective paintings explore everyday intimacy and emotion through layered oils and muted tones.Aubrey Levinthal's paintings capture the quiet intensity of everyday life through translucent layers of oil paint, subtle gestures, and atmospheric domestic scenes. Her work, often rooted in the personal--from family meals to moments of solitude--reflects themes of love, isolation, intimacy, and self-reflection. Using thin washes of color on wood panels, Levinthal explores the passage of time and interiority, often portraying herself and her loved ones in tender, introspective moments. Scenes like a woman gazing into a mirror, a mother and child in bed, or a solitary figure at lunch are imbued with emotion and psychological nuance.Influenced by artists from Giotto to Bonnard and Modersohn-Becker, Levinthal plays with perspective, scale, and composition to explore perception and identity. Flowers, especially tulips and daffodils, often appear in her work as symbols of beauty and transience. Whether depicting sleep, reflection, or the quiet spaces between people, Levinthal's paintings invite us to consider the depth in small gestures and fleeting moments. Through a delicate balance of abstraction and realism, she evokes the complexity of inner life and the resonance of lived experience, portraying humans as simultaneously strong and vulnerable, grounded in routine yet rich with unspoken emotion.The publication Mirror Matter has been produced by Ingleby, Edinburgh, to accompany Levinthal's first solo exhibition at the gallery in summer 2025. It features an essay by Jennifer Higgie and an interview with the artist by Hettie Judah. Designed by Jo Deans and printed by Albe De Coker, Antwerp, Mirror Matter is co-published by Ingleby, Edinburgh, and Anomie Publishing, London in an edition of 1500 copies.Aubrey Levinthal is a painter living and working in Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The city is important to her, she was born there in 1986, gained her BA from the Pennsylvania State University in 2008 and completed her MFA at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2011. She has continued to make the city her home, and something of its light and color has seeped into the muted, often melancholy tones of her palette. Her work has been shown extensively in the USA, most recently at the ICA, Boston, in A Place for Me: Figurative Painting Now, and at the Flag Foundation, New York. Mirror Matter is her first full solo exhibition at Ingleby.

Damascus Tiles
Now repackaged in a smaller, reduced priced edition, this highly acclaimed book by a leading Islamic art expert explores one of art history's most overlooked treasures--the vibrant ceramic tiles of Syria and especially its capital Damascus. Architectural ceramic decoration is one of the most celebrated manifestations of the arts of Islam. Spanning a period from the thirteenth to the twentieth century, the tiles featured in this book exhibit a rich range of influences from Persia, Turkey, China and even Europe. A renowned specialist in the fields of Islamic and Indian art, Arthur Millner explores the historical context that allowed the uniquely creative achievement of Syrian craftsmen to flourish, and why tiles from this region are less restricted in artistic expression than those from better-known centers of production. The complex and interconnected nature of tile designs, techniques and color palettes is explored, highlighting what is distinctive about Damascus ceramics and how they relate to tiles produced in other parts of the Islamic world. Finally, the author traces the journey made by many of these tiles to the West, embellishing the interiors of wealthy clients as Islamic art became both fashionable and influential in late nineteenth century art and design. This edition has been updated with additional information, as well as reflecting recent academic research and events in the region.

Romanticism
This richly illustrated volume invites readers to explore the phenomenon and fascination of Romanticism, a movement that shaped the cultural and aesthetic landscape of the nineteenth century and continues to resonate in modern consciousness. The Romantic era ignited a profound shift in the arts, celebrating imagination, emotion, and the sublime power of nature. The book offers a nuanced view of Romanticism's revolutionary impact. It journeys through the movement's origins in the experimental ferment of the eighteenth century, its apex in German, French, and British painting, and its later echoes across Europe and North America. The author examines key figures such as Caspar David Friedrich, J.M.W. Turner, Eugène Delacroix, and Théodore Géricault, exploring their transformative approaches to landscape, light, and human passion. The narrative also unravels the movement's intricate relationship with themes of melancholy, the sublime, and the spiritual reconciliation of the individual with the universal. Acclaimed art historian Norbert Wolf illuminates Romanticism's capacity to evoke longing, its poeticization of life through art, and its engagement with profound contradictions-- an embrace of both light and shadow. By tracing the stylistic and cultural trajectories of Romantic painting, from Germany's High Romanticism to the North American Hudson River School, he situates these works within broader artistic and intellectual traditions. Filled with breathtaking reproductions of major works, and backed by impeccable scholarship, Romanticism reveals a movement that transcended national boundaries and bridged the intersection of emotion, imagination, and the sublime.
The Colonial Indian Army
This book records the history of the Indianization of the Armed Forces of the colonial British Indian Army. There was a very long history with regard to this matter. Various problems and challenges were there given the different culture, ethnicity, and tradition of the Indian troops. The British were very cautious in Indianizing the native troops. Their imperial interest was the foremost thing. The East India company did the same thing while the crown's rule also did not alter the British imperial interests. While fulfilling their interest, the British simultaneously took some policies, made some changes, went for modifications, implemented rules and regulations to make the colonial army more purpose- oriented, fulfilling their long term wishes in real. However, after the Second World war, the British came to understand that their imperial interest in India was about to end given the process of decolonisation in priority. The process of Indianization took a upside surge at the end of Second World war which culminated to the Independence of India. This book covers the timeline of the colonial period, beginning from the rule of East India company to the end of British Raj in India.
Postmodernism and Video Art
Liz Kim traces the theories and artistic practices that articulated American experimental video through its key works and events, art critical discourse, as well as the politics of its funding and distribution during the 1970s into the 1980s, focusing on New York. This is a historical examination of the relationship between experimental video and postmodernism in the context of the early New York video scene as a foundational crucible of ideas and practices. Video grew out of both the acculturation of television, as well as the resistance against its hegemonic forms, as it enabled hybrid user-generated content. As such, video became a testing ground for postmodern thought, as it sat at the perfect nexus of mass media, art, and the politics of representation. This book historicizes the theories of video art through the shifts in representations of cultural identities, and the changes within its critical and structural supports. Through this process, chapters uncover new roots of postmodernism through historical evidence, widening the scope of the term and its concepts. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, film studies, and media studies.
Humor in Global Contemporary Art
Pursuing a new and timely line of research in world art studies, Humor in Global Contemporary Art is the first edited collection to examine the role of culturally specific humor in contemporary art from a global perspective. Since the 1960s, increasing numbers of artists from around the world have applied humor as a tool for observation, critique, transformation, and debate. Exploring how humorous art produced over the past six decades is anchored in local sociopolitical contexts and translated or misconstrued when exhibited abroad, this book opens new conversations regarding the functioning of humor and the ways in which art travels across the globe. With contributions by an impressive array of internationally based scholars covering six major continental regions, the book is organized into four distinct geographical sections: Africa and the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, South and North America, and Europe. This structure highlights the cultural specificity of each region while the book as a whole offers a critical perspective on the postcolonial, globalized art network. Reflecting on present-day processes of globalization and biennialization, which confront viewers with humorous art from a variety of cultures and countries, this book will provide readers with a culturally sensitive understanding of how humor has become vital to many contemporary artists working in an unprecedentedly interconnected world.
