2018168835Washington DC: National Gallery of Art 2018. Hardcover. VG/VG. Gray cloth boards with cream spine lettering. 179 pp. Mainly color illustrations. United here for the first time the paintings of women by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot 1796-1875 constitute a small but stunning and important body of work. Corot: Women offers a new appraisal of these intriguing figures by one of the nineteenth century's great masters of landscape. The women painted by Corot read dream and gaze at the viewer conveying an independent spirit and a sense of their inner lives. Corot's handling of color and his deft delicate touch applied to the female form resulted in pictures of quiet majesty. Although these paintings constitute a relatively small and little-known portion of his oeuvre they were of great importance to the founders of modernist painting including Paul Cézanne Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This publication features more than forty paintings by Corot--from the single-figure bust and full-length images of the 1840s through the 1860s nudes and his allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio. Essays by leading experts address Corot's debt to the old masters and the impact of his pictures on both nineteenth- and twentieth-century painting the relationship of his figural work to his more famous landscape practice his response to the shifting social position of artists' models and the incursion of photography into artistic practice in the Second Empire and early Third Republic--Provided by publisher.

The artists featured in Silence Unbound often work in familiar forms but have at some point been driven to create or conceive of an object that incorporates their language into a book-like design. The juxtaposition of the book next to an artwork- painting print photograph or performance ephemera- is meant to delineate a space that considers the translation of the artist's aesthetic vocabulary into writing systems.

20062278314Northwestern 2006. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First edition. An exceptional copy. 2006 Trade Paperback. As topical as today's newspaper headlines these rich monologues bring to life nine distinct Iraqi women whose very different stories convey the complex and harrowing reality of being female in modern-day Iraq. Their monologues quickly become a series of overlapping conversations leading to a breakdown in communication as the chaos of Iraq intensifies. Layal is a sexy and impulsive painter favored by Saddam's regime breezily bohemian one minute and defensive the next; another woman mourns the death of her family in a 1991 bunker and another--a blond American of Iraqi descent--painfully recalls a telephone conversation with Baghdad relatives on the eve of the U. S. invasion. Other characters decry the savagery of Saddam Hussein in terrifying detail and express an ambivalent relief at the American presence; still others--like a Bedouin woman searching for love--transcend politics.
