the paris Letters of thomas eakinsedited by William innes Homer

“Long awaited, this valuable collection of letters presents Thomas eakins in his own words at a formative stage of his career, offering a fascinating record of triumphs and struggles as well as a lively display of the skills, interests, confident opinions, and complex personality of a great American artist.”—Kathleen A. Foster, author of Thomas Eakins Rediscovered

The most revealing and interesting writings of American artist Thomas eakins are the letters he sent to family and friends while he was a student in Paris between 1866 and 1870. This book presents all these letters in their entirety for the first time; in fact, this is the first edition of eakins’s correspondence from the period. edited and annotated by eakins authority William Innes Homer, this book provides a treasure trove of new information, revealing previously hidden facets of eakins’s personality, providing a richer picture of his artistic development, and casting fresh light on his much-debated psychosexual makeup. The book is illustrated with the small, gemlike drawings eakins included in his correspondence, as well as photo-graphs and paintings.

This long-overdue volume provides an indispensable portrait of a great American artist as a young man.

William Innes Homer is H. Rodney Sharp Professor emeri-tus of Art History at the University of Delaware.

American modernsBohemian New York and the Creation of a New CenturyChristine Stansell

“Stansell frames her book around three activities: talking, writing and loving. She compels readers to ap-preciate what was shockingly new in each activity—no small feat, since we now take (nearly) for granted the unfettered speech, print and sex that these early radicals found so daring.”—Patricia Cline Cohen, New York Times

“[Stansell’s] history of Greenwich Village between 1890 and 1920 never forgets that people who defy political convention and people who defy artis-tic convention gravitate toward each other whatever their differences.”—Village Voice

“[American Moderns] is about the cre-ation of a new life in early-twentieth-century New York. . . . Stansell’s book is a triumph.”—eunice Lipton, The Nation

Christine Stansell is the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor in United States History at the University of Chicago.

rackstraw downesSanford Schwartz, robert Storr & rackstraw downes

“Rackstraw Downes, the veteran paint-er of landscapes and urban places, is a realist esteemed by people, including me, who normally have scant use for realism in art. [His work] is powerful in quiet, stubborn ways . . . luminous, yet taciturn: just the facts. . . . There is an existentialist, not to say quixotic, flavor to Downes’s insistence on realizing the real by hand. He likes jam-ups of culture and nature, where practical human uses overlap with indifferent geology and shaggy flora—he is the bard of weeds.”—Peter Schjeldahl, New Yorker

Whose Culture?The Promise of Museums and the Debate over Antiquitiesedited by James Cuno

“In stressing the multiple meanings—aesthetic, textual, political, ritual—that an object may have, these contribu-tors oppose the claim that art divorced from its archaeo-logical setting is a cosa morta (‘dead thing’).”—Hugh eakin, New York Review of Books

The international controversy over who “owns” antiquities has pitted museums against archaeologists and source countries where ancient artifacts are found. In Whose

Culture?, Cuno assembles preeminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what’s at stake in this struggle—and why the museums’ critics couldn’t be more wrong.

James Cuno is president and director of the Art Institute of Chicago and former director of the Courtauld Institute of Art and the Harvard University Art Museums.

Shell Shock CinemaWeimar Culture and the Wounds of WarAnton Kaes

“With his deep knowledge of German cultural history, Kaes traces how the ghosts of the dead of World War I—the defining trauma of modernity—haunt all major Wei-mar films. Shell Shock Cinema is a brilliant book about the threshold between the visible and the invisible in post-traumatic narratives, with war memory displaced into stories of madmen, vampires, mythic heroes, and science fiction. In an entirely new key, Weimar cinema reemerges as a paradigm for our post-traumatic times.”—Andreas Huyssen, author of Present Pasts: Urban

Palimpsests and the Politics of Memory

A compelling contribution to the cultural history of trauma, Shell Shock Cinema exposes how German film gave expression to the loss and acute grief that lay behind Weimar’s sleek façade.

Anton Kaes is the Class of 1939 Professor of German and Film Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

the posthuman dada Guidetzara and lenin play chessAndrei Codrescu

“A dictionary, a history of art move-ments, a manifesto, and a joke book; [The Posthuman Dada Guide] traverses high and low, seeking answers to our most persistent confusions about art, culture, and identity.”—D. Scot Miller, San Francisco Bay

Guardian

The Posthuman Dada Guide is an im-practical handbook for practical living in our posthuman world—all by way of examining the imagined 1916 chess game between Tristan Tzara, the daddy of Dada, and V. I. Lenin, the daddy of communism. Taking the match as met-aphor for two poles of twentieth- and twenty-first-century thought, politics, and life, Andrei Codrescu has created his own brilliantly Dadaesque guide to Dada—and to what it can teach us about surviving our ultraconnected present and future.

Andrei Codrescu is the MacCurdy Distinguished Professor of english at Louisiana State University.

Lucky Hans and other merz Fairy talesKurt SchwittersTranslated and introduced by Jack ZipesIllustrated by Irvine Peacock

Kurt Schwitters revolutionized the art world in the 1920s with his Dadaist Merz collages, theater performances, and poetry. But at the same time he was also writing extraordinary fairy tales that were turning the genre upside down and inside out. Lucky Hans and Other Merz

Fairy Tales is the first collection of these subversive, little-known stories in any language and the first time all but a few of them have appeared in english. Translated and introduced by Jack Zipes, one of the world’s leading authorities on fairy tales, this book gathers thirty-two stories written between1925 and Schwitters’s death in 1948—including a complete english-language recreation of The Scarecrow, a children’s book illustrated with avant-garde typography that Schwitters created with Kate Steinitz and De Stijl founder Theo van Doesburg. Lucky

Hans and Other Merz Fairy Tales also includes brilliant new illustrations that evoke the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.

Jack Zipes is professor emeritus of German and compara-tive literature at the University of Minnesota.

“Who would have thought the history of a single color could be so fascinating?

The author, a historian at the Sorbonne, narrates developments in the material, aesthetic and sociological dimensions of the color black with infectious, wide-ranging curiosity and easy-going erudition.”—Ken Johnson, New York Times

Black—favorite color of priests and penitents, artists and ascetics, fashion designers and fascists—has always stood for powerfully opposed ideas: authority and humil-ity, sin and holiness, rebellion and conformity, wealth and poverty, good and bad.

Notes on Sontag is a frank, witty, and entertaining reflec-tion on the work, influence, and personality of one of the “foremost interpreters of . . . our recent contemporary moment.” Adopting Sontag’s favorite form, a set of brief essays or notes that circle around a topic from different perspectives, renowned essayist Phillip Lopate considers the achievements and limitations of his tantalizing, daunting subject through what is fundamentally a con-versation between two writers.

Phillip Lopate teaches writing at Columbia University, and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

pontius pilate, Anti-Semitism, and the passion in medieval ArtColum Hourihane

“This textual and visual barometer of Pontius Pilate reveals a highly complex picture of a mysterious figure. The chronological span of the book is breathtaking.”—Dorothy Verkerk, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Pontius Pilate is one of the Bible’s best-known villains—but up until the tenth century, artistic imagery appears to have consistently portrayed him as a benevolent Christian and holy symbol of baptism. For the first time, Pontius Pilate, Anti-Semitism, and the Passion in Medieval

Art provides a complete look at the shifting visual and textual representations of Pilate throughout early Christian and medieval art. Colum Hourihane examines neglected and sometimes sympathetic portrayals, and shows how negative characterizations of Pilate, which were developed for political and religious purposes, reveal the anti-Semitism of the medieval period.

Combining a wealth of previously unpublished sources with explorations of art historical developments, Pontius

Pilate, Anti-Semitism, and the Passion in Medieval Art puts forth for the first time an encyclopedic portrait of a complex legend.

Colum Hourihane is director of the Index of Christian Art in the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University.

objects of translationMaterial Culture and Medieval “Hindu-Muslim” encounterFinbarr B. Flood

“This brilliant book does many things well, but two stand out. It is an overview of the art, especially architecture and architectural decoration, of what is now northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries—from the arrival of Islam to the eve of the Mongol conquests. It is also a trenchant essay of in-terpretation, substituting a richly textured consideration of cultural dynamics and cultural change on a theoretical level for the traditional dichotomy of Hindu versus Muslim. . . . Nothing is comparable to this deeply learned, engrossing, and well-written albeit often challenging work, which is full of compelling discussions of important monuments. It deserves a wide readership.”—L. Nees, Choice

“Helen Vendler is one of the most lucid and incisive critics with which the art of poetry has been blessed, and this is one of her finest books—brilliant, moving, and a pleasure to read.”—James Longenbach, University of Rochester

In Last Looks, Last Books, the eminent critic Helen Vendler examines the ways in which five great modern American poets, writing their final books, try to find a style that does justice to life and death alike. With traditional religious consolations no longer available to them, these poets must invent new ways to express the crisis of death, as well as the paradoxical coexistence of a declining body and an undiminished consciousness.

Helen Vendler is the A. Kingsley Porter University Professor at Harvard University.

volume iiiNineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Paintingsrichard r. Brettell, paul Hayes tucker & natalie H. Lee

Robert Lehman, one of the foremost art collectors of his generation, embraced both traditional and mod-ern masters. This volume catalogues 130 nineteenth- and twentieth-century paintings that are now part of the Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum. The majority of the works are by artists based in France, but there are also examples from the United States, Latin America, and India, reflecting Lehman’s global interests.

The catalogue opens with outstanding paintings by Ingres, Theodore Rousseau, and Corot among other early nineteenth-century artists. They are joined by an exemplary selection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist canvases by Degas, Renoir, Sisley, Pissarro, Seurat, Signac, Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gau-guin. Twentieth-century masters include Bonnard, Matisse, Rouault, Dalí, and Balthus. Newly researched modern works are represented by Vicente do Rego Monteiro, Kees van Dongen, Dietz edzard, and D. G. Kulkarni (DIZI).

Richard R. Brettell is the Margaret McDermott Distin-guished Chair, Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas. Paul Hayes Tucker is the Paul Hayes Tucker Distinguished Professor of Art at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Natalie H. Lee is an inde-pendent art historian in Dallas, Texas.
