[020652] Arnold, Marion; Schmahmann, Brenda. Between Union and Liberation - Women Artists in South Africa 1910-1994.. Aldershot: Ashgate, 8vo. ISBN: 0754632407. The essays collected here investigate art made by women in South Africa between 1910, the year of Union, and 1994, the year of the first democratic election. During this period, complex political circumstances and the impact of modernism in South Africa affected the production of images and objects. The essays explore the ways in which the socio-political circumstances associated with twentieth-century modernity had a paradoxical impact on women. The contributors study the lives and achievements of women - named and un-named, black and white, and from different cultural groups and social contexts - and consider objects and images that are historically associated with both 'art' and 'craft'. In all the essays, gender theory is related to South African circumstances. The volume explores gender theory in relation to twentieth-century visual culture and discusses economic conditions and regional geographies as well as notions of identity. It investigates the influence of educational and cultural institutions, the role of theory on art practice, debates about material culture, the power of nationalist ideologies and the role of feminist theories in a changing country. A wide range of visual images and objects provide the touchstone for debate and analysis - paintings, sculptures, photography, baskets, tapestries, embroideries and ceramics - so that the book is richly visual and celebrates the diversity of South African art made by women. 230 pages, illustrated in colour and b& Black cloth in dustjacket with some light wear, otherwise fine. £30.00

[020865] Clouet; Jollet, Etienne. Jean & François Clouet. Paris: Lagune, 1997. 4to. ISBN: 0500974659. Jean Clouet and his son François held the key to portraiture in sixteenth-century France. Yet despitet heir fame - and despite pioneering research in the early twentieth century by Bouchot, Moreau-Nelaton and Dimier, they remain little known and little studied today. Their lives are still shrouded in mystery and the faces they depicted remain enigmatic. Access to their work, primarily drawings, is often difficult. That is why Professor Jollet begins his book by discussing the status of portraits and portrait painters in sixteenth-century France, then analyses the importance of "self-image" at the court of France. These factors shed light not only on the enduring success of the "Clouet formula", but also on the subtle, studued evolution it underwent from father to son: an era in which sitters posed for the eye of God gave way to one in which they posed for the eyes of fellow men. 320 pages, illustrated in colour throughout.

[021199] Lubbock, Jules. Storytelling in Christian Art from Giotto to Donatello . New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. Small 4to. ISBN: 0300117272. Recounting the biblical stories through visual images was the most prestigious form of commission for a Renaissance artist. In this book, Jules Lubbock examines some of the most famous of these pictorial narratives by artists of the caliber of Giovanni Pisano, Duccio, Giotto, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio. He explains how these artists portrayed the major biblical events, such as: the Sacrifice of Isaac, the Annunciation, the Feast of Herod and the Trial and Passion of Jesus, so as to be easily recognizable and, at the same time, to capture our attention and imagination for long enough to enable us to search for deeper meanings. He provides evidence showing that the Church favoured the production of images that lent themselves to being read and interpreted in this way, and he describes the works themselves to demonstrate how the pleasurable activity of deciphering these meanings can work in practice. This fascinating book is richly illustrated, and many of its photographs have been specially taken to show how the paintings and relief sculptures appear in the settings for which they were originally designed. Seen from these viewpoints, they become more readily intelligible. Likewise, the starting point and the originality of Lubbock's interpretations lies in his accepting that these works of art were primarily designed to help people to reflect upon the ethical and religious significance of the biblical stories. The early Renaissance artists developed their highly innovative techniques to further these objectives, not as ends in themselves. 350 pages, illustrated in colour and b&w throughout.

[022054] Temkin, Ann. Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today . New York: Museum of Modern Art, 2008. ISBN: 9780870707315. Substantial catalogue from the MoMA and Tate exhibition addressing the impact of standardized, mass-produced color on the art of the past 60 years. Taking the commercial color chart as its central metaphor, this volume chronicles an important artistic shift that took place during the middle of the twentieth century: a frank acknowledgment of colour as a matter-of-fact element rather than a vehicle of spiritual or emotional content. Collected here are more than 40 artists who explore in their works the double meaning of "ready-made colour"- colour bought off the shelf, rather than mixed on a palette, as well as colour assigned by chance or arbitrary system rather than composed with traditional chromatic harmonies in mind. The book begins with Marcel Duchamp's Tu m', the artist's final painting, made in 1918, with its long array of colour samples looming across the canvas. This early recognition of colour's commercial nature was fully explored more than three decades later by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter and Alighiero Boetti, who in the 1950s to the 1970s, with a host of others, redefined the parameters of colour from a matter of personal expression to one of arbitrary systems and random processes. The repercussions of this transformation continue to be felt into the twenty-first century, in work by artists including Sherrie Levine, Mike Kelley and Damien Hirst, as well as others who explore color in digital technology This volume traces the lineage of the questions provoked by colour's new status, and the variety of answers that have resulted. 248 pages, illustrated in colour throughout.
