New Deal Art
A fresh and vibrant account of the USA's New Deal art programmes, highlighting diversity, activism, social justice, and urgent lessons for today.
Franklin D. Roosevelt's landslide victory in the USA's 1932 presidential election gave him a mandate to institute a 'New Deal' for US citizens, and by so doing offer them 'a more abundant life'. For a decade between 1933 and 1943 the New Deal art programs marked the largest federal investment in the arts in the history of the country. Tens of thousands of artists and artisans across the country produced some 2,500 murals, 100,000 easel paintings, 17,000 sculptures, and 200,000 prints.
How should we understand the history and legacy of the New Deal art programs today? Marshalling new scholarship and original research, New Deal Art highlights the contributions of a diverse range of women, immigrant, working class, Indigenous, Black, Asian, Jewish, Latinx and LGBTQ+ artists. While previous studies have focused on the personalities and politics of government administrators, this book offers a 'history from below' that stresses the role of artists as activists through collective efforts such as the Artists Union and the American Artists Congress. It explores topics that traditionally fall outside the purview of art history: art as therapy in prisons and hospitals, children's art, community art centres and art education, and the place of handicrafts and applied arts. Above all, New Deal Art centres the question of art and democracy: What if art was treated as a natural resource to which all citizens had an equal right?

Richard Avedon Immortal
An unflinching exploration of aging from one of the twentieth century's most influential photographers
For more than half a century, Richard Avedon sought to represent advancing age in the faces of the people he photographed. From his earliest years at Harper's Bazaar and Vogue through to the twenty-first century, Avedon routinely and audaciously broke the rule of flattering public personalities in his portraits. Instead, he chose to highlight the onslaught of what he called the "avalanche of age," dramatizing the universal experience of getting older.
Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Immortal is the first book to delve into Avedon's unflinching representation of aging throughout his career.
This elegant hardcover volume features nearly 100 portraits of cultural luminaries, each printed in striking tritone, such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Truman Capote, Marcel Duchamp, Duke Ellington, Toni Morrison, Patti Smith, and Stephen Sondheim, as well as one of Avedon's last self-portraits. Texts by a star-studded cohort of authors, including Vince Aletti, Adam Gopnik, Paul Roth, and Gaëlle Morel, shed new light on an under-represented element of Avedon's practice.
Thoughtfully edited and beautifully produced, Immortal testifies emphatically to the determination with which people confront the relentless advance of mortality.

We've all heard of Paris 1968, but in Japan, a movement just as revolutionary, interesting and enduring was underway. The turbulent times of the post-war era inspired an artistic explosion in the country, with the emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic photography, 'Angura' theatre and underground street performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surreal illustrations and seminal graphic design.
Taking design cues from Japanese luminaries Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kiyoshi, Japan Art Revolution features over 600 captivating artworks, encompassing photographs, film stills, theatre posters and illustrations by visionary artists including Moriyama Daido, Hosoe Eiko, Araki Nobuyoshi, Ishiuchi Miyako, Tanaami Keiichi, Yokoo Tadanori, Hijikata Tatsumi, Ohno Kazuo, Terayama Shuji, Tenjo, Sajiki, Kawada Kikuji, Neo-Dada Organizers, Hi-Red Center, Awazu Kiyoshi, Hanaga Mitsutoshi, Nakahira Takuma and Tanabe Santaro.
Drawing on extensive interviews with these iconic artists, this comprehensive book offers readers a nuanced understanding of the thriving world of Japanese avant-garde art, complemented by insightful texts from esteemed experts, curators, academics and archivists.
Japanese photobooks from this period are rare and expensive, so this book serves not only as a visual delight but also as an invaluable resource for scholars, art enthusiasts and those eager to discover the pioneers of Japanese avant garde.

Art Work
The much-anticipated new book by artist and New York Times bestselling author Sally Mann about the challenges and transcendent pleasures of the creative process
Art Work, by photographer and writer Sally Mann, offers a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, practical (and some impractical) advice, and life lessons for artists and writers-or anyone interested in the creative path. Written in the same frank, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone of her bestselling memoir, Hold Still, this new book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times and is destined to become a classic.
Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Art Work is full of thought-provoking insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. In sparkling prose and thoughtfully juxtaposed visuals and ephemera, Art Work is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.
Roger Ballen – Spirits and Spaces
The first monograph to present Roger Ballen's work in colour: a visual revelation that remains grounded in the chaotic, absurd psychological space of the Ballenesque.
Having previously expressed no interest in colour photography, Roger Ballen was inspired to engage with the medium after receiving a Leica SL camera as a gift in 2016. Opening up to the potential of colour in his work, Ballen used light in creative ways, exploring new avenues of experimentation. Spirits and Spaces eloquently captures the absurd and bizarre world of Roger Ballen, where animals and Art Brut-like drawings dominate, and humanity is reduced to obscure figures or fragmented body parts.
The new colour images in Spirits and Spaces, created in conjunction with Ballen's artistic director, Marguerite Rossouw, were produced in a claustrophobic space, constructed of worn, wallpapered wooden panels and with minimalistic lighting. Here, in this dense, oppressive environment, Ballen creates what might be seen by many as a world that is unexplainable in words: one in which absurdity, chaos, comedy and tragedy apparently exist side by side.
Both a visual revelation and an artistic evolution by one of contemporary photography's most unique voices, Spirits and Spaces is an essential and much anticipated photobook for all Roger Ballen fans.

With essay contributions from Harriet Baker, Lizzie Marx, Miya Tokumitsu and Alice Vincent.
Abstract Art: A Global History
Now available in paperback, this is a radically new approach to the understanding of abstract art, expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, and an emphasis on textile as abstract.
In his fresh take on abstract art, now available in paperback and expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, noted art historian Pepe Karmel chronicles the movement from a global perspective, while embedding abstraction in a recognizable reality. Moving beyond the canonical terrain of abstract art, the author demonstrates how artists from around the world have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural and spiritual experience.
Karmel builds this fresh approach to abstract art around five inclusive themes: body, landscape, cosmology, architecture and man--made signs and patterns. In the process, this history develops a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of featured abstract works, arranged in thought--provoking pairings with accompanying extended captions that provide an in--depth analysis. This wide--ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa and South America, as well as Europe and North America, through artists ranging from Wu Guanzhong, Joan Miró and Jackson Pollock to Hilma af Klint and Odili Donald Odita. Breaking new ground, Karmel has forged a new history of this key art movement.
The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki
Explore the inspirations behind the work of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, one of animated cinema's all-time great creators.
Often called the godfather of animation, Miyazaki is able to imagine and populate worlds like no other director or animator. His films, from My Neighbour Totoro to the Oscar-winning Spirited Away and The Boy and The Heron, are deeply original, each conjuring up their own complete and entrancing version of reality.
This book journeys through the rich mix of cultural, historical and artistic influences that shape Miyazaki's storytelling. From Japanese folklore and childhood memories to architecture, classic cinema, literature and political commentary, it reveals how Miyazaki's deeply personal vision creates layered worlds that somehow feel both fantastical and grounded in truth.
With insight into his process, visual language and recurring themes - including nature, flight, girlhood, resistance and renewal - The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki offers fans and film lovers a deeper understanding of the imagination behind the magic.
A celebration of creative freedom, storytelling without limits, and the enduring power of animation.
Giotto. Fresky v Aréne.
Prelomové metodologické dielo významného nemeckého historika umenia Maxa Imdahla, ktorého slovenský preklad vychádza k 100. výročiu jeho narodenia. V sprievodnej štúdii o ňom píše Marian Zervan: „Imdahlov výklad možno chápať aj tak, že ním navrhovaná ontológia obrazu je schopná si poradiť s predmetným i nepredmetným maliarstvom, no zároveň aj tak, že nám chce ukázať celú šírku vnútorne sa diferencujúceho ikonického prístupu. Tu niekde treba vidieť zárodok Imdahlovho rozlišovania medzi a) znovurozpoznávajúcim videním a b) vidiacim videním v zmysle a) videnia orientovaného na každodenné veci a bytosti, teda diela-veci, ale aj v obraze spredmetnené texty a veci vrátane diel-vecí a b) videnia reflektujúceho buď to, čo práve vidíme, ale z iného aspektu, alebo to, čo sme doposiaľ ešte nevideli a čo je možno dokonca neviditeľné, či presnejšie videnie zamerané na vznikajúcu a dejúcu sa obraznosť, ktorá obnovuje našu schopnosť vidieť z rôznych aspektov a ukazovať ako sa dá vidieť aj nevidené a neviditeľné. A práve to podľa Imdahla dokáže maliarstvo a výtvarné umenie vôbec.“ Preložili Ladislav Tkáčik a Marian Zervan.
