Summary
Jack's adorable illustrations complement an uplifting family story that pulls at heart-strings, while doodle pages
feature prompts from Jack for readers to draw and send in their own pictures
After a family friend bought one of his drawings for 20 pence, six-year-old Jack Henderson came up with the idea
to "draw anything" in return for donations to the hospital that treats his two-year-old brother. His parents set up
a website and thought they might make £100. After two weeks, Jack had more than 500 picture requests and
had raised more than £10,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. Parents Ed and Rose, along with Jack, Toby,
and Noah, appeared on the Fern Britton Show and Jack's project was featured on Russell Howard's Good News
four times. Coverage by STV news, BBC news, and CBBC Newsround have all helped spread the word about this
creative and generous little boy. Jack is slowly but steadily drawing the requested pictures which range from a
Hodder & Stoughton "dinosaur diving into a pool of jelly" (#1) to "my (extremely bald) friend Brian dancing like a crazy man" (#80). He

Summary
The first book to allow you to actively improve famous works of art, boxed with wipe-clean pens
We've all felt strongly about a work of art. Whether it was wishing Guernica had a bit of color or that Mona Lisa
cracked more of a smile, some of us go to greater lengths than others to deal with our opinions. Some go so far
as to vandalize a work of art, but that's getting a bit carried away. This book allows you to happily "improve" a
variety of 12 artworks from the comfort and safety of your armchair, including The Birth of Venus, The Last
Supper, The Creation of David, Night Watch, Girl with a Pearl Earring, and more. Using the supplied pens you'll be
making your point in less time than it takes an art critic to denounce Banksy. Then you can wipe it clean and
Prion start again.

Summary
The Field of Cloth of Gold, a unique moment in European history, is explored in all its elegance in this lavishly
illustrated book. Although it did not alter the course of the relations between the two kingdoms, this brief
episode of Anglo-French reconciliation was the occasion for an extraordinary display of luxury and riches, whose
unequalled profusion enduringly captured popular imagination. The meeting of Francis I and Henry VIII from June
7 to June 24, 1520, was above all a festival-of youth, of knightly ideals, of sensual pleasures, and of
insouciance. The book brings to life this world of political illusion, cultural rivalries, and the emergence of the
French Renaissance and provides an understanding of the European context that gave rise to this highly novel
encounter. It relives the feasts, jousting, and masquerades of the Field of Cloth of Gold and follows the ups and

Summary
A study of the role and responsibilities entrusted to those who tend to an artist's reputation after he or she dies,
this work traverses the strange world of art where power resides with those who hold the best stock, and
highlights the heart wrenching ways emotion and duty can intersect in the making of decisions by those left
behind. Through interviews with those handling the estates of various artists-including Fred Williams, Brett
Whiteley, John Brack, Howard Arkley, Bronwyn Oliver, George Baldessin and Albert Tucker-as well as a raft of art
dealers, academics, curators, and auctioneers, Affairs of the Art shows how the reputation and legacy of artists
are curious things and often influenced by factors beyond the quality of work.
Summary
This stunning book of photographs captures the graffiti and art that have transformed Israel's wall into a living
canvas of resistance and solidarity.
Featuring the work of artists Banksy, Ron English, Blu, and others, as well as Palestinian artists and activists,
these photographs express outrage, compassion, and touching humor. They illustrate the wall's toll on lives and
livelihoods, showing the hardship it has brought to tens of thousands of people, preventing their access to work,
education, and vital medical care.

Summary
Introduced by Clive Phillpot, and including artists and writers such as Gustav Metzger, Bruce McLean, Barbara
Steveni, John Latham, Barry Flanagan, Edward Burra, Penelope Curtis, and Neal White, All This Stuff breaks new
ground in the field of archive theory. It documents the innovative ways in which the arts are challenging the
distinctions, processes, and crossovers between artworks and archives. This critical reexamination exemplifies
how the field of art archiving is changing theory and practice as well as our understanding of what an archive is,
or could be. Valuable insights are given into the archival process and the book also explores how archives can be
made accessible and the unpredictable ways in which they may be explored and reinterpreted in the future.
Summary
One of the 17th century's most influential craftsmen is showcased in this monograph, highlighting the work of
André Charles Boulle. The study reveals how the man renowned as the preeminent artist of marquetry-the art of
applying pieces of veneer to fashion decorative patterns-gave birth to a new aesthetic through his chosen
medium. Boulle's level of refinement is illustrated, portraying an execution that was unique in his time, earning
him the title of Ebéniste Ciseleur et Marqueteur du Roi-Cabinetmaker, Carver, and Marqueter King-as well as the
envy of crowned heads, princes, and rich collectors throughout Europe. The artist's innovative genius in spatial
conception, rare and pioneering mastery of gilt bronze, and marquetry using the rarest materials are all

Summary
Subtle, sensitive, and beautiful, this collection of Angela Glajcar's installations includes more than 1,000 objects,
reliefs, and room installations. The artist works mostly with fragile materials: torn strips of paper, delicate glass
fabrics, and plastic. Applied in layers and curved, they acquire a three-dimensional presence and are transformed
by light. The result is a remarkable documentation of a creative œuvre that is as fascinating as it is unique.

Summary
This scholarly book is the first of its kind to examine the history, the future, and the present of the artist's book.
It can be difficult to describe and define the concept of the artist's book, because the ideas that characterize
such a book as conceived, designed, and ultimately approved by the artist certainly vary considerably. In most
languages, the term artist's book (livre d'artiste, künstlerbuch, etc.), refers to a specific form and, although
there may be consistencies between them, they are not sufficient to establish a conclusive definition of what is
intended. This examination sets limits on the objective, allowing the consideration of borderlines that specific
characteristics-such as typography, chronology of development, and the artist's book's ultimate reception-tend
to cross. This book examines these borderlines in the context of the wide genre of artists' books, including
classical and contemporary as well as productions of nonconformist art as created in the former German
Democratic Republic. Examples of the books of recent Russian artists are also included.

Summary
Centering on the turn of the 20th century, during which Lithuania was an integral part of Europe, this history
explores its capital, Vilnius, and how it was influenced by a confluence of artistic styles and movements from its
powerful neighbors. The survey highlights the arrival of a specifically Lithuanian artistic sensibility, expressed in
paintings and sculpture by talented artists. Presenting these artists' most important works along with in-depth
essays, this volume demonstrates the sometimes contradictory artistic tensions that arise between aestheticism
and patriotism, a typical result in a region dominated by such different political, cultural, and historic influences.
This examination is a brilliant expression of European artistic variety, spotlighting its restriction by the great
powers governing the world in the early 20th century.

Arthur Rackham
A Life with Illustration
James Hamilton
Summary
The definitive and sumptuous biography of the one of the world's most collectible illustrators contains a richly
detailed account of his life along with beautifully enchanting pictures
Examining the work of the illustrator Arthur Rackham, this monograph traces his achievements throughout his
illustrious career. Rackham's illustrations for such works as Alice in Wonderland, A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, and Rip Van Winkle have attained the classic status of the writings
Pavilion themselves-and indeed, in some cases, they have become synonymous with them. His works were also included
9781862058941 in numerous exhibitions in his lifetime, including one at the Louvre in Paris in 1914. Rackham himself, however,

Summary
In reading all the theoretical contributions to this book, an essentially common idea of the social can be
observed which is of fundamental importance for a new definition of artistic production: a process-related order
of institutionalized actions, including the linguistic actions to which individuals are exposed. For here, in the
repetition of such institutionalized acts, is where subjects first emerge at all. Objects, whether they be objects
of everyday use or whole architectures, are like moulds which provide for the institutionalization of actions. The
artist emerges as a social figure, as the product of a society and the agent of political interests. From this point
of view, the status of objects, the status of the "work" is not the expression of a circumscribed meaning, but
the instrument of forming a subject. The opposition of theory and practice becomes obsolete. Subject and
object are meaning written into actions.

Summary
This magnificent volume takes the reader on an inspiring journey into the world of two completely different
materials: ash and gold. It dares a unique insight into a tense relationship between the two by asking what
values ash and gold epitomize within society and what myths surround the oldest materials known to human
civilization. It also explores to what end they have been used in the visual arts beyond the purely decorative.
With nearly 100 works from famous artists-including Joseph Beuys, James Lee Byars, Marcel Broodthaers,
Rebecca Horn, Yves Klein, Jannis Kounellis, Gerhard Richter, Richard Wright, and many others-this book illustrates
these questions most vividly while the included essays illuminate historical and contemporary interrelations of this
pair of apparent opposites.

Summary
This exhibition catalog shows key works from an avant-garde art movement characterized in particular by
abstraction and the rejection of the representational developed in France, and then in Germany, after the end of
the Second World War. Artists' groups such as ZEN 49 in Munich, Quadriga in Frankfurt, and Gruppe 53 in
Düsseldorf followed the new style of Art Informel and their work is predominantly featured in this collector's book.

Summary
The Bauhaus Ideal is both a picture book and a guidebook to the fascinating and enduring legacy of modernist
design, and to the continuing influence of Bauhaus on interior design-not just on architecture, but also on
furniture, glassware, tableware, and kitchen utensils: the whole range of domestic arts.
This unique volume introduces modern design principles and examines them from an historically critical
perspective. It concludes with some ideas for melding modern solemnity with postmodern irony. And in each
phase the illustrations speak as eloquently as the text-the whole serves as a beautifully illustrated design memo.

Summary
The story of the Bayeux Tapestry - from its origins and creation to its long and dramatic afterlife.
The vivid scenes on the Bayeux Tapestry depict the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, when
William the Conqueror seized the English throne. One of Europe's greatest treasures, the tapestry tells a
magnificent tale - but as Carola Hicks shows, its own story is just as dramatic.
From the start there are mysteries and controversies. Who commissioned the tapestry? Was it Bishop Odo,
William's ruthless half-brother? Or was it King Harold's sister, Edith, widow of Edward the Confessor? Hicks makes
a strong case for Edith, showing us her world and the miracle of the tapestry's making - talented women plying

Bloemaert had such a wide influence on painting in the northern Netherlands of the 17th century. Exploring his
role as a teacher in addition to his exceptional talent for drawing, this book also examines the Utrecht specialty

pictures are widely available today as decorative motifs and popular prints, but in his day, the man dubbed the
"Hogarth of cat life" was a celebrity who sold thousands of drawings and paintings to an insatiable public. From
humble beginnings, Wain became a hugely successful popular artist, creating the Louis Wain Annual series and

Summary
The famed artist's goals and desires as a painter are fully grasped in this authoritative study. Delving into
Cézanne's desire to paint sensuous narrative scenes, his lucid vision, and his sense of a harmony between forms,
this discussion clearly details the inner workings of his images. Nearly half of Cézanne's work is scrutinized,
drawing a complex picture of his artistic development and demonstrating how the painter's evolving styles
grasped reality in their own way, adapting themselves to the different needs of landscape, portrait, still life, and
bathing scenes.

A unique collection of botanical, zoological, and entomological drawings depicting the natural history of China
This collection is a selection of some of the finest examples of Chinese natural history drawings from the 18th

Summary
Reviewing the sometimes unflinchingly realistic portraits of Christian Schad, this discussion emphasizes how his
paintings mirrored society during the "Golden Twenties." These images showcase Schad's radical and unique
character inherent in his portrayals of artists, leading citizens, aristocrats, and other cultural figures, and the
study contends that they continue to have an influence on a diverse range of realistic tendencies in art to this
very day. Stressing that his oeuvre is characterized by constant experimentation, an ongoing dialogue with
artistic tradition, and innovation, this examination delves into Schad's past as well, revisiting his joining with the
Dada Movement and the unique "Schadographs"- photographs on light-sensitive paper, made without a camera
Wienand Verlag or a lens-that he created from this avant-garde context. From his first paintings in the "new objectivity" style

These eight limited-run fanzines were originally created between 1992 and 1999 and were sold out of the Alleged
and Andrea Rosen galleries in New York City. Collected together for the first time, all of the original content is
represented-low-concept, hilarious juxtapositions of words; scribbles and doodles; lists; monologues; free verse;
jokes; innuendo; and both fake and real interviews. They blur the lines between fantasy and reality, and are
often prankster in nature and laugh-out-loud funny. With weird musings, fake celebrity gossip, and hastily drawn
art, this collection is a must have for fans of the authors and lovers of pop culture.

Summary
The spectacular frescoes by Johann von Schraudolph at Speyer Cathedral are the very last testimony of a
bygone era: they are one of the only murals in the style of the Nazarene movement surviving the bombings of
World War II. After being locked away for more than 50 years, the "Twelve Apostles" are now on display and
explored in this history of Nazarene frescoes. The book focuses on the creation of the 12 large-format frescoes
known as the Twelve Apostles and the restoration process art historians and scientists are using to bring the
painting back to life.

Summary
Originally published by Mainstreet/Doubleday in 1998, this debut novel from an underground filmmaker uses print,
photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, and clip art to enhance the
text, which primarily tells of a race war that happens in Florida, where the Jewish people sit in trees, the black
people are run by MC Hammer, and the white people are run by Vanilla Ice. Or as the author himself described it
front of a national television audience, "I wanted to write the Great American Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
Novel." In actuality, it is a collection of hard-luck stories, off-and-on-color jokes, script scraps, found letters,
free rhymes, drug flashbacks, and other missing scenes, all exploring the world of show business with fingers
prying in the cracks and feet set lightly in the black humors of the real world. With chapters about books found
in Monty Clift's basement and Tupac Shakur's 10 favorite novels, and a set of 11 suicide notes with room
included for the reader's signature, the book is a one-of-a-kind post-postmodern examination of the da...

Creative Authenticity
16 Principles to Clarify and Deepen Your Artistic Vision
Ian Roberts
Summary
Serious working artists are the intended audience of this collection of short essays that clarify common
expressive and personal problems that many artists encounter, including the fear of being clichéd, the desire to
convey truth in art, and the frustration behind trying to find an authentic voice. These crippling fears are laid to
rest through insightful discussions of personal experiences, the struggles of famous artists, and the rewards of
producing art that comes from an authentic creative core. Providing sensitive reassurances that these struggles
are normal, these essays encourage artists to focus on the development of their crafts and find inspiration to
work through self-doubt.

Summary
A collection of 25 improvisational quilts, this compilation from one of the premier colorists in contemporary
American art represents work from three distinct series of quilts, all of which are photographed in sensational
colors and with extensive detail. The quilts in the first series, Constructions, are large complex pieces created
from hundreds of strips of fabrics. The next, Markings, is a series of nine quilts in which the artist explores
calligraphy. In the final series, Structures, the artist repeatedly places silk-screened images directly onto cloth,
Breckling Press creating blocks of color. Featuring the works-in-progress alongside the finished artwork, this showcase provides
9781933308197 fascinating insight into the artistic process.

A potent manifestation of Latino subculture in the U.S. as well as in Mexico, Day of the Dead art is hugely
influential on the tattoo and kustom scenes. This collection emphasizes contemporary graphics, where traditional
folk art and current U.S. politics and culture collide-Mexican traditions are mixed with Hollywood hip, or the
graphic tags of L.A.'s Latino gangs. Bursting with amazing visceral energy and riotous color, this collection
features vanguard artists taking traditional elements of sugar skulls, flowers, and devils right to the edge. It will
be a fantastic source of inspiration for graphic designers, tattoo artists, hot rodders, and t-shirt designers.

Summary
Klaus Dauven's drawings are not limited to the small format of works on paper or canvas: He paints on large
concrete dams, underbridges, noise abatement walls on the side of motorway.
Dauven does not apply paint or any other medium, like painter commonly do, he does the exact opposite! Dauven
takes away, the takes away the dirt and grime, the patina. Through the contrast between cleaned, cleared
parts of these huge surfaces and the still patinated, grimy areas Dauven creates his pictures on a large scale.
His biggest project so far is the drawing of "Hanazakari" on the Matsudagawa Dam in Japan. For this he is widely

Desperate Romantics
The Private Lives of the Pre-Raphaelites
Franny Moyle
Summary
Their Bohemian lifestyle and intertwined love affairs shockingly broke 19th century class barriers and
bent the rules that governed the roles of the sexes—here is the scandalous saga of the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood
Brought to life through the vivid letters and diaries kept by the group and the accounts written by their
contemporaries, the bad boy celebrities of the late Victorian era are as compelling today as they were then.
They became defined by love triangles, played out against the austere moral climate of Victorian England; they
outraged their contemporaries with their loves, jealousies, and betrayals; and they stunned society when their
complex moral choices led to madness and suicide, or when their permissive experiments ended in addiction and
John Murray death. The influential critic, writer, and artist John Ruskin was their father figure, and his apostles included the

Summary
The gorgeous illuminated Bolognese Bible that is the focus of this art history study was presumably created in
the 1280s on behalf of the French cardinal Jean Cholet and exhibits a typical Bolognese decorative system based
on Parisian models. The paintings in this codex draw on an array of classical motifs and reveal a painting style
that requires in-depth knowledge of Byzantine art from the early Palaeologan era. In a fascinating analysis of the
images, the author demonstrates the receptivity to the themes of antiquity, using as an example the Dionysian
embonpoint and the representation of maenads. This exploration outlines modes of adaptation of Eastern and
Western motifs and styles and reveals an illuminator who had the intellectual and artistic capacity to use his
repertoire of imagery in a playful, experimental, and original manner.

Dilemma
Part 1
Christian Eisenberger
Summary
Christian Eisenberger's work oscillates in the tension between the artistic recycling of trash in the manner of Arte
Povera and the exploration of performing practices using the artist's body in public space. In the style of
Appropriation Art, Eisenberger's work is verging on the limits of taste and is excessively breaking the rules of the
art market. The artist builds ephemeral installations and fragile sculptures using fire and ice and works himself
into the ground as a proliferating producer of images. This collection of Eisenberger's sketches, designs, and
reflections addresses issues of destruction and endangering, self-exposure and form finding, creation and death.
His oeuvre consists of thousands of paintings and drawings and is well renowned far beyond Austria's borders.

Summary
Considered one of the great talents in contemporary art, Eberhard Havekost has developed a distinctive and
innovative style characterized by his zooming in on details and the use of radical perspectives. This catalog of
the "TITEL" exhibition currently on view in Duisburg's Center for Modern and Contemporary Art captures
Havekost's singular vision, from the digital photographic material liberated from the traces of handcraft through
which the artist casts a cool gaze upon everyday surroundings, to his more recent penchant for the abstract.
Summary
Art is not possible without the human capacity of reflective self-consciousness, and looking at a work of art
always partakes of mirroring-one's sense of another person's intention in the object. With such a theme at its
center, this work shows how the meanings created in the perception of art are not purely cognitive but bodily
and creative. Additionally, this instructional work illustrates how perception is an active process that relies
heavily on unconscious, learned motor-sensory abilities and a relation to space. Both making and appreciating art
would be impossible without imaginative play, and this work explains how one inhabits the real world and
occupies another: the land of pretend. This bilingual edition includes English and German.

Klaus Dauven
Summary
Klaus Dauven's artwork Fisch-Reich (Kingdom of Fishes) is documented in this catalog. His monumental panoramic
mural of two fish can be seen in Eibenstock on Saxony's largest dam wall, which is 308 meters wide and 57
meters high. Since trout live only in clean water, they are seen as an important bioindicator and sign of an intact
Die Neue Sachlichkeit environment; immediately after its creation, the media dubbed it "the biggest trout in the world." With beautiful

Summary
Getting Up for the People tells the story of the Assembly of Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca (ASARO) by remixing
their own images and words with curatorial descriptions. Part of a long tradition of socially conscious Mexican
art, ASARO gives respect to Mexican national icons; but their themes are also global, entering contemporary
debates on issues of corporate greed, genetically modified organisms, violence against women, and abuses of
natural resources. This book interjects into the growing body of work on street art and social justice-not just
ASARO's art, but also their collective success in influencing political change and improved social infrastructure,
particularly in educational outreach. It is a visual tour de force and a success story that embraces and shares
the power of art and diversity in our societies.

Summary
Telling the story of the work of one highly talented and generous artist, this book details the paper sculptures
left on a table in the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh. One day in March 2011, staff noticed a wonderful
sculpture, carved from paper and mounted on a book. It bore a tag expressing support for the library's work.
From then until November 2011, nine more mysterious paper sculptures appeared in arts venues throughout
Edinburgh, including the National Library of Scotland, the Filmhouse cinema, the National Museum of Scotland,
and the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Left anonymously, new sculptures appeared unexpectedly. This book is

Summary
One of the most important and far-reaching personalities in art history is detailed in this extensive volume.
Following Giorgione from the beginning of the 16th century, the study shows how he revolutionized European
painting with a new spatial sense, new standards for color, and a previously unknown gradation from light to dark
colored values. This survey demonstrates how these characteristics gave his works a deep sensibility and a
wistful stillness. All of the subject's paintings, frescos, and drawings are precisely documented and commented
upon in this beautiful examination.

Summary
Showcasing the famous collection of the Albertina, this selection covers works from the early 15th century to
the present, from priceless sheets by Raphael, Michelangelo, Du¨rer, Rubens, Rembrandt, Watteau, and Boucher
to drawings and watercolors by Chagall, Picasso, Klimt, Schiele, Klee, Kandinsky, Pollock, Rauschenberg, Gertsch,
Longo, Baselitz, and Kiefer. Founded by Duke Albert von Sachsen-Teschen, from whose name the term Albertina
derives, this volume highlights the unique collection of drawings and prints he housed in a historic palace, built
atop the remains of the Augustian bastion-the remnants of the fortifications of the city of Vienna. The

Summary
Going beyond primitive superstitions and the many expressions of identity, this collection offers the first artistic
and aesthetic anthology regarding representations of the hand and of the esoteric marks that past civilizations
have left on these representations. The featured items originate from all of Morocco's cultural spheres: jewels
forged from fine metal, printed matter, lamps, ex-votos, clothes, weaves, pieces of embroidery, manuscripts, and
the numerous functional objects used in everyday life as well as on special occasions. Taking a sensitive look at
Muslim and Jewish craftsmen and goldsmiths, this guide demonstrates how, through the creation of these
Somogy Art Publishers objects, they have invented an identity which still nurtures Moroccan arts today.

Following the esteemed career of artist Hans von Aachen, this history follows his first steps in Cologne, his move
to Italy in 1574 for further study, and his tours of Rome and Florence as well as how he eventually settled in
Venice, combining Flemish traditions and Italian innovation to develop his own style. Reviewing his early life in
Germany, the record also highlights his time in Munich as a painter of the nobles before moving onto 1592, when
he was appointed official painter of Rudolph II, the Holy Roman Emperor in Prague. Aachen's move to Prague in
1601 is covered, documenting his painting commissions from Emperor Rudolph II and his successor, Matthias I.

Hellcat Amazons
Tough Girls and Warped Women from the Pulp Classics
Summary
As America slowly relaxed its moral codes in the postwar era, the pulp novels of the paperback racks offered an
initiation into the previously hidden demimondes of sex and hedonistic excess. While the cover blurbs feigned
shock and disgust, the cover art reveled in the illicit danger and excitement, and their fantasies offered a lurid
window on America's suppressed desires. From the high-voltage temptress to the leather-clad dominatrix, this
collection of 23 postcards presents the most daring of these images in all their depraved and reckless glory.

Summary
Capturing the beauty of the Louvre, this volume explores the home to the world's largest collection of Jean-
Antoine Houdon's sculptures. Its range, quality, and versatility make this collection a wonderful showcase for the
artist's unique talent, unveiling the many faces of the man whom Thomas Jefferson described as "far superior to
all the other artists of his time"-an iconic figure of the Age of Enlightenment who was simultaneously the King of
France's official sculptor and a fervent supporter of patriots and artists fighting for freedom and democracy. This
book is the official catalogue for the major Houdon retrospective held at Atlanta's High Museum in 2008. Each
featured piece was photographed from various angles, making it possible to discover the remarkable human-like

Summary
The manuscript, written in London in English in 1852 and never published, was given to the MAK (Museum of

transcribed in the MAK Library and Collection of Works on Paper and revised and annotated at the MAK. With an
introduction by H. F. Mallgrave, the worldwide recognised specialist on Semper's "Der Stil", and with a statement
by Andrew Benjamin. The book received the Austrian National Award for the most beautiful art book of the year

Interacting
Art, Research and the Creative Practitioner
Linda Candy, Ernest Edmonds, Roy Ascott
Summary
A book about interacting in its many forms-including the relationships between artworks and audiences, between
creative practitioners from different disciplines, and between those practitioners and the norms of research in
contemporary society-this account provides a unique perspective on these interacting elements. Combining
creativity in art, design, and technology, this account demonstrates that there is much to recommend in the
bringing of research into creative practice. It also shows that research itself can be transformed by way of
creative practice.

J. D. Kirszenbaum (1900?1954)
The Lost Generation ? La génération perdue
David Baron de Rothschild, Nathan Diament, Carolin...
Summary
A testament to an entire generation of Eastern European Jewry, J. D. Kirszenbaum's artistic œuvre is showcased
in this photographic and biographic reference. His peregrinations, prompted by the need to escape the
oppression of his native Poland, led to a formal artistic education at the Bauhaus in Weimar, his eventual
integration into the Berlin gallery scene, and the all-significant association with the School of Paris. The
perpetual need to flee Nazi repression resulted in his significant part among those itinerant artists who-seeking
refuge, education, personal stability and a sustainable future-developed an art redolent of nostalgia and loss.

Messengers of the Hopi and Zuni Gods

Summary
Mischievous, roguish, or kind spirits of nature represented by handmade children's dolls, known as kachinas, are
explored in this colorful volume in the context of the Hopi and Zuñi Native American cultures of New Mexico and

restoration, ornamentation, and a chapter on the world's oldest known kachina. Illustrating the Western culture's
fascination with the strong suggestive power of these figurines, this investigation also delves into their form
within the context of ritual celebrations, during which they are embodied by masked and costumed dancers. This

Summary
A sumptuously illustrated volume that will inspire those intrigued by and interested in contemporary sculpture
Both a survey and a lavish celebration of contemporary approaches to sculptures that are formed from more
than one material, this book profiles the discipline in all its expanded forms, and recognizes sculpture in the 21st
century not as something solid and static, but rather as a fluid interface in material, time, and space. It reveals
the inspirations, influences, and creative journeys of more than 30 contemporary artists, and explains the
practical processes and raw materials they use. An introductory chapter contextualizes textile perspectives in
mixed-media sculpture and discusses elements that concern the sculptor in the 21st century. Illuminating texts

The Prints of Barry Cleavin
Melinda Johnston
Summary
Lavishly illustrated with more than 120 color plates, this survey of one of New Zealand's leading printmakers
draws from Barry Cleavin's vast output to present a major representative sample of his prints and drawings from
1966 through 2012. Over more than five decades, Cleavin has developed thematic groupings, created visual
echoes and provided contemporary twists on age-old traditions on his way to forging an immediately
recognizable style that ranges from lightly humorous parody to caustic social comment. Selected works are
presented within the context of Cleavin's wider oeuvre, but they are also placed within their social and historical
background, demonstrating the range of the artist's talent and providing significant new insights into his work
and thematic concerns. Written in a generally accessible style and with a glossary that explains terms to a
Canterbury University
Press nonspecialist audience, Lateral Inversions invites readers to view the world through Barry Cleavin's unique lens,

Tanino Liberatore
Summary
The Italian artist of the controversial RanXerox comic series which shook the world of comics in the eighties
presents women in-your-face proud of their feminity. Women in all their physical glory but without the softness
or subservience. This explores limits without shame or fear and is occasionally pornographic, bizarre, or even
disturbing. Includes chapters entitled "Desire", "Pulse" with stark black & white illustrations, "Embraces" with a
fearless abandonment to sheer lust, "Dark/Light", "Intimacies" with never before seen angles on the nude figure,
"Flesh" with soft beautiful aquarelles. This book challenges and does not leave indifferent.

Summary
Michelangelo Buonarroti remains arguably the most powerful artist in the Western canon and a touchstone for all
artistic endeavor. Painter, sculptor, architect, poet, he redefined not only the possibilities of the imagination, but
also the very image of the artist. He was the first artist to be the subject of a biography in his lifetime, with the
publication of Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects in 1550. Dissatisfied
with Vasari's treatment, Michelangelo encouraged his close friend and fellow painter Ascanio Condivi to publish a
rival biography. This compelling narrative of genius and its struggles in the treacherous world of Papal politics
remains one of the most fascinating and influential texts in art history.

Summary
Invited by Steven Henry Madoff and the Tel Aviv Art Museum, curator Hou Hanrou and artist Liu Xiaodong
collaborated to produce a series of paintings during a month-long exploration of Israel and Palestine. In his final
series of 20 works, titled "In Between Israel and Palestine" and gathered in this catalog, Liu Xiaodong explored
the vastly contrasting environments of the two conflicting states. During the four weeks he lived in Tel Aviv, Liu
traveled throughout the Holy Land to witness and research the implications of religion, nationality, and cultural
diversity, and his impressions are vividly recorded in this collection of intimate and honest paintings. Enhancing
the projects breadth are Liu's written diaries and the documentary film that was simultaneously produced and is
included on the accompanying DVD. This exhibition was on display at the Mary Boone Gallery in New York City
Thircuir from September through October 2013.

Summary
In the course of a short and violent life, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio revolutionized painting, producing a
style of shockingly immediate realism that swept through Europe and still resonates today. Almost everything we
know about his life comes from these three early biographies, and they reflect the often horrified fascination that
Caravaggio exerted on his contemporaries. Giorgio Mancini, his physician, underscored the value of Caravaggio's
revival of painting. Giovanni Baglione, a mediocre rival, is far less generous, but unable to hide his awe. The
leading art historian of the following generation, Giovanni Pietro Bellori, produced a more balanced assessment,
with detailed analyses of many of his major paintings. The Lives of Caravaggio is introduced by Helen Langdon,
the leading expert on the painter, who elucidates the historical and artistic context of these biographies.

Summary
While Martin Kippenberger is widely regarded as an eminent 20th-century artist and his reputation and influence
have grown since his death in 1997, this book presents the first attempt at a comprehensive art-historical
examination of his oeuvre. It points us to an underlying theme in his works, the profound significance of which
only becomes apparent in retrospect: Kippenberger not only recognized the constructed nature of identities early
on, his ironic reflection on discourses also pointedly satirized modern and postmodern artistic positions that
parroted clichés of identity.

Material Thinking
Paul Carter
Summary
This intimate account of how ideas get turned into artwork-including dance performance, film, sound installation,
sculpture, and painting-looks at how the material thinking that art embodies produces new understandings about
individuals, their histories, and the cultures they inhabit. Discussing the philosophy of signs (images, text, and
their interaction), the psychology of visual perception, and the overarching notion of mythopoeic place-making,
this intellectually wide-ranging and anecdotally narrated primer provides a fresh perspective to the concept of
inventing. All active practitioners in the fields of performance, media, film, museum, painting, sculpture, and
cultural studies will benefit from this look at how artists participate in the conceptual invention of their world.

Summary
With intensely vibrant colors and a pastose application of paint, a group of 12 young artists-including Henri
Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Braque, Kees van Dongen, and others-caused a major
controversy at the 1905 third autumn salon in Paris. The critic Louis Vauxcelles labeled them les Fauves or "the
wild beasts;" now the French translation of the term stands for a style that was short but highly influential in
20th-century art: fauvism. This catalog highlights important aspects from the influence of van Gogh, Cézanne,
and Gauguin as artistic trailblazers to the later effects of the Fauves.

Summary
Marc Chagall's strange, vibrant, and poetic autobiographical essay on his early life, containing
illustrations, has established itself as a unique document in 20th-century literature
Completed by the artist in 1922, this memoir became available in English in 1965 when Peter Owen published this
translation, and it has remained in print ever since. Lyrical and evocative, it is a key work in Chagall studies for
the light it sheds on the shaping of the artist's creative genius. His deep roots in Jewish tradition-religious and
secular-are reflected in these recollections of his poverty-stricken youth from Witebsk, White Russia, to the
Parisian art world. Together, his words and pictures paint an incomparable portrait of one of the greatest artists
of this century, and of the now vanished milieu that inspired him.

A Mythic Obsession
The World of Dr. Evermor
Tom Kupsh
Summary
The Forevertron stands poised in a Wisconsin field. When the time is right-only Dr. Evermor will know when-the
famous, enigmatic scientist will climb the winding staircase and enter its egg-shaped travel chamber, power up
the dynamos and flip on the thrusters, and away he'll fly on a "highball to heaven," propelled by an
electromagnetic lightning force beam.
Or so the story goes.
Anyone who's visited the elaborate visionary environment created by Tom Every has heard some variation of the
Evermor myth. But few know the story behind the story, the fascinating history of this one-of-a-kind creative
spirit. From a very early age Every collected, modified, and resold cast-off industrial material. His work as a
salvager led him to Alex Jordan Jr., creator of the House on the Rock, where he collaborated with Jordan on
Chicago Review Press many of the attraction's most elaborate displays.

Summary
Visual studies emerged in the context of a growing awareness of the impact of visual media on society and
culture; from the 1990s onwards, art historians no longer had an exclusive patent on the study of the visual
medium. This volume follows the developments in the iconological methods in visual arts and offers a platform for
collaboration between individuals and institutions interested in the evolution of iconological interpretation.
Sharing lectures, ideas, methods, and old and current research on iconology, this account promotes the further
study and exploration of making, meaning, and migration of images in art history.

Summary
A beautiful collection of the "metamorphic" art of one one of Mexico's most prolific artists
Octavio Ocampo works primarily in the metamorphic style, using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing
realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates. Ocampo is known for his sometimes wryly
sardonic, sometimes evocative paintings in which detailed images are intricately woven together to create larger
images-the optical illusions fading back and stepping forward as the viewer studies the pieces, notices the
details, and finally recognizes the large-scale intention.

Old Masters
Australia's Great Bark Artists
Wally Caruana, Alisa Duff, Howard Morphy, Luke Tay...
Summary
Bark painting, as practiced by Aboriginal artists of Arnhem Land for millennia, is one of the great traditions of
world art, yet it was only recognized as such late in the 20th century. Old Masters: Australia's Great Bark Artists
highlights the work of 40 master painters who have carried one of the oldest continuing traditions of art into the
modern era. It features the paintings of Narritjin Maymuru, Yirawala, Mawalan Marika, David Malangi, and their
contemporaries. These men of high ritual standing were not only artists, but also ceremonial and clan leaders,
philosophers, advocates for land rights and human rights, ambassadors, and politicians, who recognized the
power of art as the most eloquent means to build bridges between Aboriginal and European society. The book
includes essays by renowned scholars of Aboriginal art, biographies and portraits of the artists, and 122 full-color
plates of the paintings, made between 1948 and 1988, from the National Museum of Australia's rich and
National Museum of extensive collection. This profile of the Museum's unique collection will serve as lasting documenta...

Summary
Tracing the life and work of Scottish sculptor William Lamb (1893-1951), this book is the first full-scale study of
one of Scotland's most talented yet underrated artists and a story of indomitable will and irrepressible creativity.
The son of an alcoholic father and a survivor of the "lost generation" who came of age in 1914, it was with
courage and determination that Lamb overcame the obstacles life put in his path. Traumatized in the trenches at
Passchendaele during the First World War and blighted by depression, Lamb was also severely wounded in his
right hand. With characteristic resolve he retrained with his left hand-at Edinburgh College of Art and the Ecole
des Beaux Arts in Paris. Despite the uncertainty of an art market rocked by world war, Lamb established his
Birlinn Ltd reputation in Montrose with sculptures of the townspeople and fishermen of east Scotland. He produced prints,

Dr. Martin Engler, Dr. Andreas Bee
Summary
Showcasing the oeuvre of late Frankfurt artist Peter Roehr, this collection reveals the several hundreds of works
he left behind in which he exclusively pursued the idea of serial repetition. Montages of photographs, text,
typography, objects, sound, and film are featured, constructed from simple materials and probing the concept of
redundancy. The monograph demonstrates how the commonplace nature of the artist's work pushes to the fore
even more vehemently now that more than four decades have lapsed. The pieces featured here have now
become amazingly enhanced, transforming into narrative formulations oscillating between ready-made and
seriality, pop and minimal art, and everyday life and abstraction.

Camilla Macpherson
Summary
A story of art and love, and the brutal tragedy of war.
November 1942
Dear Elizabeth, I've got myself a new project, to cheer myself up a bit. It has absolutely nothing to do with the
war effort. We're completely starved of art in London these days. Anything decent was stashed away by the
authorities years ago. But the National Gallery is going to dust off one masterpiece each month, put it on
display, and allow us masses to trail in front of it. I've promised myself solemnly that I will go along each month
to see whichever painting it is that has been chosen, then write and tell you all about it. So, what do you think?
It must be better than knitting socks for sailors or collecting old tin to turn into Spitfires.

Picturing Change
Curating Visual Culture at Post-Apartheid Universities
Brenda Schmahmann
Summary
Since South Africa's transition to democracy, many of the country's universities have acquired new works of art
that convey messages about the advantages of cultural diversity, and engage critically with histories of racial
intolerance and conflict. In Picturing Change, Brenda Schmahmann explores the implications of deploying the
visual domain in the service of transformative agendas and unpacks the complexities, contradictions, and
slippages involved in this process. She shows that although most new commissions have been innovative, some
universities have acquired works with potentially traditionalist-even backward-looking-implications. While the
motives behind removing inherited imagery may be underpinned by a desire to unsettle white privilege, in some

Summary
A new edition, fully illustrated in color, of one of the most widely read books on modern design
Nikolaus Pevsner's landmark work was first published in 1936. It remains as stimulating and challenging today as
it was then. Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers; the
work of the 19th-century engineers; and Art Nouveau. All these form the essential background to the work of
the early Modernists, with their rejection of ornament, their use of new materials and their commitment to
"utility" and the machine age. Pevsner looks at the early masters of the movement, such as Voysey and Rennie
Mackintosh in Britain; Sullivan and Lloyd Wright in America; and Loos and Wagner in Vienna, ending in 1914, with
Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus movement representing design's most radical break with the past. This new
edition of this classic work is fully illustrated in color, with new feature spreads on the key protagonists and
Palazzo Editions movements and a new introduction by Professor Richard Weston.

Queens of Egypt
From Hetepheres to Cleopatra
Christine Ziegler
Summary
Celebrating their indisputable influence on 3,000 years of ancient Egypt's history, this volume offers a unique and
heretofore unexplored insight into the key roles the era's queens played, from Cleopatra and Nefertiti to Nefertari
and Hatchepsut. The study unveils the true nature of their political and spiritual influence, which was very
different from the clichéd portrayals popular today. Answering questions such as What was the real status of the
Egyptian queens? What was the status of second wives and concubines? What was their role in religious
celebrations? and What was their beauty regime? this consideration demonstrates why these legendary women
have become synonymous with power, beauty, and glory.

Kontact: NY Paintings 1972-2012
Summary
In his paintings, Rainer Gross combines the traditions of European art history with the vibrancy of New York City.
From the re-creation of Peter Paul Rubens's Baroque female nudes as pinups to colorful, vibrant abstraction, the
artist's photo-realistic work from 1972 to the present is captured in this comprehensive visual reference. This
celebration of an acclaimed artist's work covers his entire career-from his experimentation with the trivialities of
mass-produced department stores pictures to his more recent dispensing of figurative painting to fully explore
the visual possibilities of colors and structures.

Summary
Beneath the surface of pictures lie the extensive networks of relationships and associations that tie us to them,
sometimes in extraordinary ways. The moments at which we come to understand something of ourselves and our
place in the world are often anchored in images-literary, musical, and visual. Through 15 pictures, Peter Lord
describes the evolution of his own sense of self, in childhood just after the Second World War, at art college in
the 1960s, through the tension between incomers and local people in Wales in the 1970s and 80s, and finally
through his exploration of the place they have had in the lives of the artists who created them, their patrons
and publics. Writing about the meaning of pictures in their social and political context, Peter Lord was centrally
involved in the establishment of the field in Wales in the 1980s, when the prevailing conventional wisdom
regarded the nation as being largely devoid of a visual culture.
Summary
Featuring an entirely new set of drawings and paintings, this artful nature exploration combines breathtaking
wildlife images with notes and background information regarding the Isle of May, a little gem of an island in the
Firth of Forth, Scotland. With an eye for color and characteristic attention to detail, artist Keith Brockie mixes
depictions of the majestic peregrine and white-tailed eagle with sketches of fluffy eider ducklings and kittiwake
chicks. All the natural history of the island is represented, from its delicate maritime flowers to fish, crabs, and
lobsters.

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1892 short story about the plight of women in the home, "The Yellow Wallpaper."
Rhys James' paintings continue her exploration of the position of women in society, and in particular how women
can be imprisoned by consumerism and the domestic environment. The more than 50 images in the book include

Summary
The Hamble rises at Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire and flows into Southampton Water. It is a relatively small
river but it has an interesting and varied history. Above Botley the Hamble powered a number of mills, and in the
17th century plans to make that section navigable were contemplated. The tidal river below Botley has served
as an important local conduit for the carriage of goods and commodities, particularly timber, underwood, and
flour, and a number of industries, including fishing and salt production, have over the centuries flourished on its
banks. King Henry V's fleet was stationed on the river, and in the 18th and 19th centuries it was an important
location for naval shipbuilding, not least because of the ample supplies of timber to be found in the valley. One of
Nelson's flagships, HMS Elephant, was built there in the 1800s. The proximity of Southampton and Portsmouth
has meant that the river was of importance militarily during World War II as well as in earlier conflicts. It also

Artist and designer Sabine Schellhorn's most comprehensive art project, "Seals," is featured in this contemporary
exploration. Each day of the year, in addition to special commissioned works and exhibitions, Schellhorn creates
a new seal-a geometrical art design that can take varying forms and mediums. Beginning with linocuts in the mid
1990s, the seals have been created in everything from salt poured onto a floor to woven textiles and cut paper,
and their presentation has also been as unpredictably unique-the seals may be on the ground, suspended from
ceilings, indoors or out, or some mix of the above. Displaying these plentiful and playful artworks, the book is an
accessible addition to the examination of contemporary art and the movement of artwork into a tactile
experience. Schellhorn's haptic drawing and her engagement with the surrounding environment are fascinating

feast which will delight and entertain Noel's many impassioned fans.
"Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or painting. I would sometimes arrange ants
into primitive still lives or scratch out portraits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame
tiger who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll around in acrylic and oil
pastels in reverie, licking canvases and tucking coloured pencils into my wild hair. It was here I learned how to
draw and paint well enough to be accepted into Croyden Art College. There, Dexter Dalwood (Turner Prize
nominee) taught me and after two years under his supreme tutelage and much hard graft he advised me to

Summary
A personal and in-depth account of the enigmatic man behind the murals, written by a friend and fan
An illuminating memoir of the world's most celebrated graffiti artist, this book offers insight into Banksy's life and
work through the experiences that he and the author Robert Clarke shared together during Banksy's formative
years. Clarke takes us through their first encounters, which took place in a hotel in New York in the 1990s, and
candidly describes how his friendship with this young English artist developed. Along the way, readers will
discover more about the ever-mysterious Banksy-what makes him tick, why he does what he does, and why he
ultimately rejects fame in favor of anonymity, setting him apart from many other popular artists. Revealing much
about the origins of some of the artist's most striking ideas, as well as his subversive social attitudes, complex
personality, and singular sense of humor, this is the perfect read for any Banksy or modern-art fan.

Strangest Genius
The Stained Glass of Harry Clarke
Lucy Costigan, Michael Cullen
Summary
Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was undoubtedly Ireland's greatest stained glass artist. During his short life Harry
created stained glass windows for churches, private dwellings, and commercial venues throughout Ireland and
England, as well as in the United States and Australia. Also an illustrator of books for Harrap and Co. in London,
Harry illustrated five books that show his undoubted genius in the area of graphic art. In total 174 windows and
a small number of panels were created by Harry Clarke. This book contains the entire stained glass collection of
Harry Clarke, including those windows now in art galleries. This collection has never before been photographed or
published in its entirety, and will give those who are unfamiliar with the brilliance and originality of Clarke's
marvelous stained glass windows the opportunity to view images of his greatest creations.

Summary
In 1939, as an art student, Ronald Searle volunteered for the army, embarking for Singapore in 1941. Within a
month of his arrival there, however, he became a prisoner of the Japanese, and after 14 months in a prisoner-of-
war camp, was sent north to a work camp on the Burma Railway. In May 1944, he was sent to the notorious
Changi Gaol in Singapore and became one of the few British soldiers to survive imprisonment there. Throughout
his captivity, despite the risk, Ronald Searle made drawings to record his experiences. The drawings in this
remarkable book were hidden by Searle and smuggled from place to place, stained with the sweat and dirt of his
captivity. They are a record of one man's war and are among the most important and moving accounts of the
second World War.

From Rubens paintings to Chippendale cabinets to elaborate Palladian doll houses, the enormous range of
priceless objects held in the Trust's hundreds of historic properties is unequalled, and many of them are still

explains the pieces for those with little knowledge of art history and antiques and those more versed in the
subjects alike. Special features illuminate the work of key painters, designers, and craftsmen while historical

Trickster
Artworks
Rinaldo Hopf
Summary
Chosen by prestigious international critics, artists, authors, and collectors-including Wieland Speck, Ralf König,
Slava Mogutin, and Edward Lucie-Smith-the works gathered in this collection are exemplars of Rinaldo Hopf's
ability to so vividly portray the figure of the "trickster"-the swindlers, rascals, knaves and other individuals who
do not abide by the rules and are free from the constraint of traditional gender roles and propriety. Beginning
with the installation Moulin Rouge, which Hopf completed over the course of 13 years, the book showcases the
artist's work through a range of aquarelles, poster overpaintings, mural and ceiling paintings, and journey
pictures. In their contributing texts, the selectors explain why they feel drawn to a particular work, reflecting in
their personal opinions the art's charisma and transcendent quality.

Summary
The intellectual and imaginative engagement of social trauma is presented in this book that investigates how
writers, visual artists, theater practitioners, musicians, filmmakers, dancers, and photographers from sub-
Saharan Africa and Germany have creatively responded to traumata. Building off a conference hosted by the
Goethe-Institut of South Africa in 2011, the book creates an open dialogue through both words and visuals
surrounding culture and conflict. The roles of artists during crisis and social change are examined, as well as the
impact and aesthetic vocabulary that is created to react to, engage, or heal the trauma.

The entire original collection of the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum was lost during World War II, but in the 1950s the
museum purchased an extensive collection of graphic arts that included works by Menzel, Spitzweg, Slevogt,

classical modern paintings by artists such as Beckmann and Schmidt-Rottluff. The volume at hand shows the

Summary
Mostly unseen work from the illustrator known for his sexy robots
Sorayama's new book contains highly explicit art and is definitely suitable for adults only. His erotic, futuristic,
hyperrealistic illustrations create a visual landscape that would be impossible to achieve in photography alone.
Only the masterful Sorayama, equipped with boundless imagination, is able to achieve this, using pencil and
brush, acrylic paint, and airbrush. The works collected here are simultaneously breathtaking and at times
repulsive, yet all of them are utterly fascinating. Very few of these images have been published before, but the
time has come for Sorayama to release this secret work. These images are really not for the squeamish; readers
have been warned!

Quintanilla ran off to Montmartre where, under the influence of his fellow countryman Juan Gris, he began his
artistic career as a Cubist. Returning to Madrid before the war, he befriended prominent Spaniards, including Juan
Negrín, the premier during the Spanish Civil War. In April 1931 he and Negrín participated in the peaceful
revolution that ousted the monarchy and installed the Second Spanish Republic, and when civil war broke out,
Quintanilla helped lead troops on Madrid's Montaña Barracks, which saved the capital for the Republic. The artist

Summary
Featuring works by more than 30 international artists, including Sonia Boyce, Thomas Demand, Robert Gober,
Damien Hirst, Abigail Lane, Francesco Simeti, and Niki de Saint Phalle, this collection puts wallpaper in context by
showing how historic wallpaper motifs, styles, and methods are used in contemporary art and how existing
patterns have been adapted and subverted to telling effect. Inherently ephemeral and often overlooked,
wallpaper has hardly been the most obvious medium for a contemporary avant-garde artist; however, during the
past two decades, artists exploring themes of home, memory, and identity have created installations with

Summary
A vivid, richly observed, and compellingly readable account of the women who held the artists of the Pre-
Raphaelite Brotherhood in thrall
Essentially a domestic biography whose main concern is the tragicomedy of manners enacted by a closely knit
group of friends and lovers, this book tells the story of Janey Morris, Georgie Burne-Jones, Lizzie Siddall, Effie
Gray, and the less well-known Marie Spartali, Aglaia Coronio, and Mary Zambacco. These women were the wives,
mistresses, and muses of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the inspiration behind the work of Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, and John Millais. Set against the background
of mid-Victorian bohemian England, this book vividly evokes the world they inhabited and the lives they lived. It
recounts the romances and friendships between the artists and the "stunners" in a lively and original way, and
Pan Macmillan will appeal to anyone interested in Victorian England, the history of the Pre-Raphaelites, and, significantly, to

Summary
This volume contains cutting-edge contributions that consider new approaches to the documentation of rock
art, its interpretation using indigenous knowledge, and the presentation of rock art. The first edited book to
consider each of these areas in a theoretical rather than a technical fashion, this work aims to promote the
sharing of new experiences between leading researchers in the field. Beginning with a dialogue about shared
experiences between researchers in southern Africa and northern Europe, the chapters then share, for the first
time, the published results of new collaborative research between scholars from these two centers. Since this
Wits University Press volume covers the recording, interpretation, and presentation of rock art, it will attract a wide audience of

researchers, heritage managers, and students, as well as anyone interested in the field of rock art studies.
