2006103273Milan: Skira 2006. Softbound. As New. Color illustrated wraps. 320 pp profusely illustrated with 289 color plates. The women in Impressionist painting represent the full spectrum of faces of the 19th-century woman from elite portraiture to working class scenes. Women and Impressionism examines the avant-garde position of the Impressionists whose paintings depicted a series of conceptual and historical shifts by depicting traditional visual schemes with added new meanings contributing visually to the breakthrough of the modern. The concept of "the new woman" came into existence in this confrontation of conflicting interests.Women and Impressionism begins with an examination of two works by Manet-La Maetresse de Baudelaire couchTe 1862 and Portrait de Zacharie Astruc 1866. The volume then traces the representation of women as it manifested in the work of the Impressionists in the 1870s and the early 1880s. The exhibition catalog includes a number of works from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek collection as well as from prestigious international private and public institutions. Skira unknown books
20172001New York: Peradam 2017. First Edition. Staplebound. Illustrated wraps. Near fine. 24 pages. Limited edition 1 of 200. Maia Ruth Lee was born in Busan Korea and is presently part of this year's Whitney Biennial. From Printed Matter: "The paintings in this book reproduce designs originally created by Charles Horgath and published in Women at Work 1996 a title in the Dover Clip Art series or royalty-free illustrations. Throughout the eighties and nineties Dover published many "Ready-To-Use" spot illustrations collections with titles like Men's Heads Senior Citizens and Services for both commercial and personal use. The tropes taken as inspiration are often benign-but others like Oriental Designs or Weddings of white straight couples are clearly offensive especially today. Depicting a wide range of professions Women at Work is somewhat of an outlier in its at times refreshingly enlightened vision of gender equality. It posits Firefighter and Mother as legitimate and equal roles for women in society a notion that decades earlier would never have been accepted. Yet other professions such as Masseuse Manicurist or Secretary reaffirm stereotypes that continue to persist. The suggested spectrum of women's roles on view here as progressive as it may have seemed at the time is revealing of the ways in which gender equality has both moved forward and stagnated over the recent decades. <br/><br/> Peradam paperback books
