Contested Vision: Captivity, Creativity, and Paris Prisons, 1793-1894
Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open intiative.How to creatively portray the nineteenth-century prison? Presenting original research findings and proposing novel connections between penal and visual history, this book investigates how artists and other inmates attempted to communicate their captivity by pictorial means. The prisons of Paris were characterized by distinctive scopic regimes from 1793 until 1894, especially the ascendant cellular jail, in which visibility was a central element of punitive practices. As authorities imposed increasing invisibility on detainees, artists such as Hubert Robert, Jacques-Louis David, Honor矇 Daumier, Gustave Courbet, Armand D矇sir矇 Gautier, Maximilien Luce, and Th矇ophile Steinlen, among others, spent time behind bars grappling with representational strategies that almost always required conjoining words and images. The artists' prison was an ekphrastic site par excellence, a topography whose space could be depicted only when its words--graffiti, inscriptions, regulations--were bestowed legibility as signs. Penitentiary bureaucrats and criminologists analogously seized on the words and images through which inmates contested their invisibility to develop theories on recidivism, graffiti, and the "aesthetics of criminality," an ersatz study of inmate representations. The visual output scrutinized here is not mere illustration; these creations help fuse an integrated narrative showing how prison, art, and politics shaped each other.

Superstar Pharaohs
Superstar Pharaohs is conceived around the figure of the Pharaoh and the place occupied in our imagination by Ancient Egypt, through 5,000 years of history, from antiquity to the present day. It aims to reflect on the popularity of the historical and sometimes mythical figures of the Pharaohs. Superstar Pharaohs was the exhibition presented by the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, in partnership with MUCEM (Marseille), in 2022, the year that marks the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter and the bicentenary of the deciphering of hieroglyphs by Jean-Fran癟ois Champollion. The exhibition catalogue includes an introductory text written by the co-curator Fr矇d矇ric Mougenot, in which he reveals the reflections that led him to create the exhibition. The introduction is followed by six essays on different themes, ranging from antiquity to the present day: Fayza Haikal writes about the link between modern day Egyptians and the civilization of the Pharaohs; Bernard Mathieu focuses on the Egyptians' knowledge of their history; Michael Chaveau looks at the presence of the Pharaohs in Greco-Roman literature; Simon Connor explores the impact of images and their destruction in constructing the history of the Egyptian monarchy; Jean-Marcel Humbert discusses the phenomenon of Egyptomania; and Jo瓊o Carvalho Dias, co-curator of the exhibition and deputy director of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, reveals the relationship that Calouste Gulbenkian developed with Howard Carter, which was fundamental in establishing the Egyptian art section of the Gulbenkian collection. The rest of the publication is, like the exhibition, divided into three sections: the first, 'Three Thousand Years of History and a Few Memorable Reigns', seeks to outline the profile of the Pharaohs who were regarded, in their time, as worthy of being remembered for posterity. The second section, 'What Remains of the Pharaohs? History and Legends', looks at the way the memory of some of these figures was recovered, and at the same time transformed, by the literature of Greco-Roman antiquity, giving rise to myths that survived for centuries. The final section, 'Return of the Pharaohs', reveals how the birth of the discipline of Egyptology led to new scientific knowledge of Ancient Egypt, which also paved the way for the rediscovery of some Pharaohs, who were thus propelled into stardom. As well as featuring abundant illustrations of the works on display throughout the texts, the publication also includes a section of chronological references related to Ancient Egypt and a list of all the Pharaohs in history.

Floating World: 'Ukiyo-E' Japanese Prints
Calouste Gulbenkian amassed a remarkable collection of Japanese art. This publication explores this aspect of his activity, bringing together a large number of Japanese prints from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Calouste Gulbenkian amassed a remarkable collection of Japanese art. This lesser known facet of the collector's activity was explored in the exhibition Floating world: 'ukiyo-e' Japanese prints, which presented a large number of Japanese prints produced between the 17th and 19th centuries that belong entirely to the Museum's collection. The exhibition focused on the concept of ukiyo, which means 'floating world' and refers to the fleeting pleasures of everyday life. The catalogue is divided into two parts. The first is a set of four essays, including three by the exhibition curators. In the first text, Jorge Rodrigues explores the set of prints acquired by Calouste Gulbenkian for his collection. Francesca Neglia then looks at two of the most popular iconographic themes in ukiyo-e: the figure of the courtesan and landscapes. In the third essay, Hannah Sigur discusses the literary network associated with ukiyo-e. Finally, Rui Xavier, Preventive Conservation Coordinator at the Gulbenkian Museum and curator of the Gulbenkian Collection's lacquerware, writes about the damage sustained by the collection of Japanese prints after the 1967 Lisbon's floods and the remarkable restoration process that followed. The second part of the publication is similar in structure to the accompanying exhibition sections and includes texts on specific works or groups of works. The first chapter, 'Different views of nature and landscape', deals with landscape painting as an autonomous genre of ukiyo-e; in 'Uki-e' perspective images, the focus is on uki-e, a genre of prints made by adopting Western geometric perspective; Yoshiwara's 'floating world' revolves around the authorized leisure district of Edo (present-day Tokyo) and its influence on the production of prints depicting women; 'Ukiyo-e's literary web' deals with the unique and contradictory relationship between scholarly literature and poetry and the main protagonists in the 'floating world', such as kabuki theater actors and the so-called 'women for play'; finally, 'The Tōkaidō Stations' covers the famous print series of the same name, comprising prints on various themes related to the Tōkaidō route, which ran from Edo to the imperial city of Kyoto.

Picasso/Asia
Why is Pablo Picasso so famous the world over? How does Picasso, the quintessential modern artist of the twentieth century but also undeniably a European, relate to the work of contemporary artists in other parts of the world, such as Asia? And what do Picasso and his legacy mean in an age and a place that are far from his own?These are some of the fundamental questions explored in Picasso/Asia, which accompanies a major exhibition at M+, Hong Kong. At its heart are two intertwined narratives. First, Picasso's life and artistic practice are interpreted through the four archetypes of the creative genius, the outsider looking in, the consummate magician, and the endlessly inquisitive student of art history. Secondly, the fresh interpretation of Picasso's oeuvre is placed "in conversation" with the works of Asian artists, thereby revealing what Picasso's art can tell us about artistic practice today, and vice versa. A visual timeline shows how Asian art and artists migrated to Europe during Picasso's lifetime and became an unavoidable part of his cultural context and milieu, as well as describing Picasso's reception in Asia from the 1910s right up to the end of the 20th century.A bold exploration of complex relationships between origin and reception, invention and adaptation, West and East, this book enriches the discourse on transnational contemporary Asian art and visual culture, while contributing to the growing critical literature on global art history.

Gentile Bellini's Portrait of Sultan Mehmed II
In 1479, the Venetian painter Gentile Bellini arrived at the Ottoman court in Istanbul, where he produced his celebrated portrait of Sultan Mehmed II. An important moment of cultural diplomacy, this was the first of many intriguing episodes in the picture's history. Elizabeth Rodini traces Gentile's portrait from Mehmed's court to the Venetian lagoon, from the railway stations of war-torn Europe to the walls of London's National Gallery, exploring its life as a painting and its afterlife as a famous, often puzzling image. Rediscovered by the archaeologist Austen Henry Layard at the height of Orientalist outlooks in Britain, the picture was also the subject of a lawsuit over what defines a "portrait"; it was claimed by Italians seeking to hold onto national patrimony around 1900; and it starred in a solo exhibition in Istanbul in 1999. Rodini's focused inquiry also ranges broadly, considering the nature of historical evidence, the shifting status of authenticity and verisimilitude, and the contemporary political resonance of Old Master paintings. Told as an object biography and imagined as an exploration of art historical methodologies, this book situates Gentile's portrait in evolving dialogues between East and West, uncovering the many and varied ways that objects construct meaning.

Engaging artists' and educators' questions, it maps significant differences and potential intersections for further enquiry.Events of Art and Education in Post-climate Times will be helpful for students studying art, education, environment, sustainability, and climate change. It will also interest researchers, practising artists, and teachers in these disciplines by being at the forefront of current discussions in both fields.
