Across the World with the Johnsons
Visual Culture and American Empire in the Twentieth Century
Prue Ahrens and Fiona Paisley, both at Griffith University,
Australia and Lamont Lindstrom, University of Tulsa, USA
EMPIRES AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERN WORLD, 1650–2000
During the interwar period Osa and Martin Johnson became famous for their films that brought exotic and far-off
locations to the American cinema. Before the advent of
mass tourism and television, their films played a major part
in providing the means by which large audiences in the US
and beyond became familiar with distant and ‘wild’ places
across the world. Taking the celebrity of the Johnsons as
its case study, this book investigates the influence of these
new forms of visual culture, showing how they created their
own version of America’s imperial drama. Bringing together
research in the fields of film and politics – including gender
and empire, historical anthropology, photography and visual
studies – this book provides a comprehensive evaluation of
the Johnsons, their work and its impact.

This book investigates and problematizes the long-held
belief that addiction is legible from the body, thus positioning
visual images as unreliable sources in attempts to identify
alcoholics and drug addicts. Examining paintings, graphic
satire, photographs, advertisements and architectural
sites, Skelly explores such issues as ongoing anxieties
about maternal drinking; the punishment and confinement
of addicted individuals; the mobility of female alcoholics
through the streets and spaces of nineteenth-century
London; and soldiers’ use of addictive substances such
as cocaine and tobacco to cope with traumatic memories
following the First World War.

Architecture and the Historical Imagination
The Art and Thought of John La Farge
Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, 1814–1879
Picturing Authenticity in Gilded Age America
Martin Bressani, McGill University, Canada
Katie Kresser, Seattle Pacific University, USA
‘This is a magnum opus, in more than one sense of the
term. An important work, the product of vast research and
dedicated scholarship, Bressani’s biographical study is a
timely contribution not only to architectural studies but
also to the field of historical culture in general. Through
tracing Viollet-le-Duc’s achievement in relation to the
broad transition from Romanticism to Modernity, Bressani
succeeds in bringing out his wider significance as an artist
and thinker, and as a major figure in French Romanticism.’
Stephen Bann, Bristol University, UK
The Art and Thought of John La Farge offers an
unprecedented portrait of one of the most celebrated
artists of the Gilded Age and opens a window onto
nineteenth-century American culture. The book reveals
how the work of John La Farge contributed to a rich
philosophical dialogue concerning the trustworthiness
of human perception. In his struggle against a ‘common
truth’ of iconic symbols presented by a new mass visual
culture, La Farge developed a subversive approach to visual
representation that focused attention not on the artwork
itself, but on the complex, real encounter of artist, subject
and medium from which the artwork came.
The importance of Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879) within modern architecture cannot be
overstated. Key theoretician of modernism, renowned
restoration architect, medieval archaeologist and champion
of Gothic revivalism, he also published some of the most
influential texts in the history of modern architecture.
Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex
intellectual development, showing how restoration, in all
its layered meaning, shaped his outlook. Through his life
journey, we follow the route by which the technological
subject was born out of nineteenth-century historicism.

The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn
The Avant-Garde Won’t Give Up
Karen Kurczynski, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
Situating the Danish artist Asger Jorn’s work in an
international, post-World War II context, Karen Kurczynski
offers an account of the essential phases of this prolific
artist’s career, and addresses his works in various media
alongside his extensive writings and collaborations. The study reframes our understanding of the 1950s, and foregrounds the idea that the sensory address of art
and its complex relationship to popular media can have a direct social and political impact.
Exploring various ways in which a range of twentiethcentury European artists and writers challenged the
boundary between visual and linguistic expression in the content, production and physical form of books, these
essays challenge the roles played by visual and bodily
sensation in recent histories of literary modernism. The
collection argues that examples of the art book tradition
both test and celebrate vision, while contextualizing it
among other sensory experiences.

most significant areas of inquiry into Surrealism. Active
since 2009, the series aims to build on the most incisive
recent research on Surrealism in academic writing and
exhibition display. Books published so far in the series
have expanded and added to Surrealism’s various lines
of inquiry, examining Surrealism’s intersections with
philosophical, social, artistic, and literary themes.

Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia sheds
much-needed light on the location of the single greatest
concentration of Surrealist photography – the Czech
Republic – and examines the culture and tradition of
Surrealist photography that has taken root and flourished
there. This volume explores a rich and important artistic

Vassiliki Rapti, Harvard University, USA
This study reconsiders Surrealist theatre specifically from
the perspective of ludics – a poetics of play and games –
an ideal approach to the Surrealists, whose games blur
the boundaries between the ‘playful’ and the ‘serious.’
Beginning with the Surrealists’ ‘one-into-another’ game
and its illustration of Breton’s ludic dramatic theory, Rapti
examines the traces of this kind of game in the works of a
wide variety of Surrealist and Post-Surrealist playwrights
and stage directors.

The Art of the Sister Chapel
British Art in the Nuclear Age
Exemplary Women, Visionary Creators, and Feminist Collaboration
Edited by Catherine Jolivette, Missouri State University, USA
Andrew D. Hottle, Rowan University, USA
BRITISH ART: HISTORIES AND INTERPRETATIONS SINCE 1700
‘In Sister Chapel, Andrew Hottle rescues from scholarly
neglect a major collaborative project of the Feminist Art
Movement. Embodying the feminist concept of nonhierarchical “sisterhood,” thirteen women artists created
a stylistically diverse yet cohesive circular environment of
female heroes, from a feminine-form “God” to Betty Friedan
and Bella Abzug. Deliberately alluding to the Sistine Chapel,
they subtly mocked that icon of masculinist theology and
challenged its values from the new perspectives of feminism.
Hottle’s richly detailed text provides an invaluable historical
record, with fascinating exchanges among artists and
organizers and energetic documentation of every planning
stage of this groundbreaking project.’
Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard, editors of The Power of Feminist Art
‘A wonderfully diverse and wide-ranging book that
significantly increases our understanding of the complex role of art, artists, imagery and popular culture in the nuclear age.’
Jonathan Hogg, Lecturer, The University of Liverpool, UK
The Sister Chapel (1974–78) was an important collaborative
installation that materialized at the height of the women’s
art movement. It consisted of an eighteen-foot ceiling that
hung above eleven canvases – each depicting the figure
of a heroic woman – portrayed by distinguished New
York painters. Based on previously-unpublished archival
material, this study details the fascinating history of The Sister Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its
ambitious creators.

Biography, Identity and the Modern Interior
Edited by Anne Massey, Middlesex University, UK and Penny Sparke, Kingston University, UK
Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth
century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of
essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/
biographical investigations into the lives of individuals,
groups and interiors can offer design and architectural
historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers
shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the
use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as
a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed,
and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior
designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice.
Rooted in the study of objects, this book addresses the role
of art and visual culture in discourses surrounding nuclear
science and technology, atomic power, and nuclear warfare
in Cold War Britain. Far from insular in its concerns, this
volume draws upon cross-cultural dialogues between
British and European artists and the relationship between
Britain and America to engage with an interdisciplinary art
history that will also prove useful to researchers in a variety
of fields including European history, politics, design history,
anthropology, and media.

The Concept of the ‘Master’ in Art Education in Britain and
Ireland, 1770 to the Present
Edited by Matthew C. Potter, Northumbria University, UK
A novel investigation into art pedagogy and constructions
of national identities in Britain and Ireland, this collection
explores the student-master relationship in case
studies ranging chronologically from 1770 to 2013, and
geographically over the national art schools of England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Essays explore the manner
in which the Old Masters were deployed in education;
fueled the individual genius of art teachers and students;
were used as a rhetorical tool for promoting cultural
projects in the core and periphery of the British Isles; and
united as well as divided opinions in response to changing
expectations in discourse on art and education.

Contemporary Art About Architecture
Dictionary of Visual Discourse
A Dialectical Lexicon of Terms
A Strange Utility
Barry Sandywell, University of York, UK
Edited by Isabelle Loring Wallace, University of Georgia,
USA and Nora Wendl, Portland State University, USA
Exploring the languages and cultures of visual studies and
offering a theoretical introduction to the many languages
of visual discourse, this substantial dictionary explains
the foundations of current theoretical and academic
discourse, and the different forms of visual culture in
everyday life. It is essential reading for students in visual
studies, the sociology of visual culture, cultural and media
studies, philosophy, art history and theory, design, film and
communication studies.
Contemporary Art About Architecture is the first to take up
its topic in a sustained and explicit manner and the first
to advance the idea that contemporary art increasingly
functions as a form of architectural history, theory and
analysis. It examines a diverse group of artists – including
Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Matthew Barney, Monika
Sosnowska, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Paul Pfeiffer and Mies van
der Rohe – in conjunction with the vernacular, canonical,
and fantastical structures engaged by their work.

Darwin and Theories of Aesthetics and Cultural History
Alternative Venues for Display
Edited by Barbara Larson, University of West Florida, USA and Sabine Flach, School of the Visual Arts, USA
Edited by Andrew Graciano, University of South Carolina, USA
Darwin and Theories of Aesthetics and Cultural History is
a significant contribution to the fields of theory, Darwin
studies, and cultural history. This collection of eight essays
is the first volume to address, from the point of view of
art and literary historians, Darwin’s intersections with
aesthetic theories and cultural histories from the eighteenth
century to the present day. Among the philosophers of art
influenced by Darwinian evolution and considered in this
collection are Alois Riegl, Ruskin, and Aby Warburg. This
stimulating collection ranges in content from essays on the
influence of eighteenth-century aesthetic theory on Darwin
and nineteenth-century debates circulating around beauty
to the study of evolutionary models in contemporary art.
In recent years, there has been increasing scholarly
interest in the history of museums, academies and major
exhibitions. There has been, however, little sustained
interest in the histories of alternative exhibitions. The
present volume contextualizes eleven case studies to
advance overarching themes among alternative exhibitions
from the late-eighteenth century to the late-twentieth
century. These include the issue of control in the
relationship between artist and curator, and the relationship
of alternative exhibitions to the dominant modes, display
structures and cultural ideology.

Giorgio Armani
Simon Shaw-Miller, University of Bristol, UK
Empire of the Senses
A YANKEE BOOK PEDDLER US CORE TITLE FOR 2014 AND UK CORE TITLE FOR 2013
John Potvin, Concordia University, Canada
Eye hEar The Visual in Music employs the concept of
the visual in proximate relation to music, producing a
tension: ‘is it not the case that there is a gulf between
painting and music, between the visible and the audible?
One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible
and marvellously noisy.’ Such a belief, this book argues,
betrays an ideological constraint on music, desiccating it to sound, and art to vision. The starting point of this
study is more hybrid (and hydrating): that music is never
employed without numerous and complex intersections
with the visual. By involving the concept of synaesthesia,
the book evokes music’s multi-sensory nature, stops it from
sounding alone, and offers music as a subject for art historians.

Envisaging the Sea as Social Space
Edited by Tricia Cusack
Before the eighteenth century, the ocean was regarded
as a repulsive and chaotic deep. Despite reinvention as
a zone of wonder and pleasure, it continued to be viewed
in the West and elsewhere as ‘uninhabited’, empty space.
This collection, spanning the eighteenth century to the
present, recasts the ocean as ‘social space’, with particular
reference to visual representations. This engaging
and erudite volume will interest a range of scholars in
humanities and social sciences, including art and cultural
historians, cultural geographers, and historians of empire,

Sculpture, Space, and the Cultural Value of Urban Imagery
Peter Muir, Associate Lecturer, Open University, UK
Framing the Ocean, 1700 to the Present
April 2014 Hardback The first monograph to do so, Giorgio Armani: Empire of the
Senses examines the visual, material, phenomenological,
spatial, discursive, and economic culture of Giorgio Armani
and his lifestyle empire. The book explores how Armani’s
designs and decisions provide a surface on and through
which to mediate acts of translation: from East to West; from
fashion to art; from one gendered identity to another; and
from two-dimensional image to three-dimensional object.
£70.00 $119.95
In this in-depth analysis, Peter Muir argues that Gordon
Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect (1975) is emblematic of
Henri Lefebvre’s understanding of art’s function in relation
to urban space. By engaging with Lefebvre’s theory in
conjunction with the perspectives of other writers, such
as Michel de Certeau, Jacques Derrida, and George
Bataille, the book elicits a story that presents the artwork’s
significance, origins and legacies. Muir argues that Conical
Intersect is much more than an ‘artistic hole.’ Due to its
location at Plateau Beaubourg in Paris, it is simultaneously
an object of art and an instrument of social critique.

THE HISTORIES OF MATERIAL CULTURE AND COLLECTING, 1700–1950
Series Editor: Michael Yonan, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA
The series seeks to illuminate the intersections between material culture studies, art history, and the history of collecting.
It takes as its starting point the idea that objects both contributed to the formation of knowledge in the past and likewise
contribute to our understanding of the past today. The human relationship to objects has proven a rich field of scholarly
inquiry, with much recent scholarship either anthropological or sociological rather than art historical in perspective.
Underpinning this series is the idea that the physical nature of objects contributes substantially to their social meanings, and therefore that the visual, tactile, and sensual dimensions of objects are critical to their interpretation.
The series publishes interdisciplinary and comparative research on objects that addresses one or more of these
perspectives and includes monographs, thematic studies, and edited volumes of essays.

community settings from the Huron Wendat of colonial
Quebec to the Girls’ Friendly Society of twentieth-century
England.
The making of handcrafted objects has and continues
to flourish despite the powerful juggernaut of global
industrialization. By attending to the political histories of
craft objects and their makers, over the last few centuries,
these essays reveal the creative persistence of various hand mediums and the material debates they represented.

‘This is a beautifully written, wide-ranging study of the
central role that textiles, fashion and costume played in the cultural history of the Habsburg Empire of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.’
Julie M. Johnson, University of Texas at San Antonio
Filling a critical gap in Vienna 1900 studies, this book
offers a new reading of fin-de-siècle culture in the AustroHungarian Monarchy by looking at the preoccupation
with embroidery, fabrics, clothing, and fashion. The author
resurrects lesser known critics, practitioners, and curators,
while also discussing the textile interests of better known
figures. Spanning the 50-year life of the Dual Monarchy, this
study uncovers new territory in art history, insists on the
crucial place of women within modernism, and broadens
the cultural history of Habsburg Central Europe.

The Image of Christ in Modern Art
Richard Harries, Professor Lord Harries of Pentregarth
The Image of Christ in Modern Art explores the challenges,
presented by the radical and rapid changes of artistic
style in the 20th century, to artists who wished to relate to
traditional Christian imagery. In this highly illustrated book,
Richard Harries looks at artists associated with the birth of
modernism, such as Epstein and Rouault, as well as those
with a highly distinctive understanding of religion such as
Chagall and Stanley Spencer. Through a beautiful range
of images and insightful text, Harries suggests that the
modern movement in art has turned out to be a friend not
a foe of Christian art, and that which is visual can in some
way indicate the transcendent.

Manet, Wagner, and the Musical Culture of Their Time
Therese Dolan, Temple University, USA
CLASSIFIED AS ‘RESEARCH ESSENTIAL’ BY BAKER & TAYLOR YBP LIBRARY SERVICES
A YANKEE BOOK PEDDLER UK CORE TITLE FOR 2013
In the first full-length book dedicated to the study of
Edouard Manet and music, Therese Dolan explores the
influence of Wagner’s controversial Tannhäuser on Manet’s
Music in the Tuileries, widely considered to be the first
modernist work of art. Incorporating studies of the major
artistic, literary, and musical figures of nineteenth-century
France, it represents an important contribution to an
understanding of French culture in the third quarter of the nineteenth century.

Landscape Imagery, Politics, and Identity in a Divided Germany,
1968–1989
Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture
Catherine Wilkins, Edison State College, USA
Landscape Imagery, Politics and Identity in a Divided
Germany, 1968–1989 explores the communicative
relationship between German landscape painting and the
viewing public that developed in the wake of the student
revolutions of the late 1960s. The book demonstrates that,
contrary to some historical thinking, more similarities than
differences characterized the sociopolitical concerns of
East and West Germans during the late Cold War Era, and that it was these shared issues that were reflected in the revival of the Romantic painting genre.

On the Threshold of German Modernism
Marsha Morton, Pratt Institute, USA
‘Morton’s text, the first, major English-language study on
Klinger, is a triumph. This invaluable resource on Wilhelmine
visual culture explores the intersections between Klinger
and German Romantic literary theory, Darwinism, the
unconscious, and criminality. Her wide-ranging, historicallygrounded interdisciplinary approach is a vital addition to the field and will ignite further research on this complex and endlessly fascinating artist.’
Jay A. Clarke, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Clark
In this book, the first full-length study of its kind in English,
Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift
from tradition to innovation in the Wilhelmine Empire
(1870s–1880s) more compellingly than Max Klinger. Morton
makes an interdisciplinary examination of Klinger’s early
prints and drawings within the context of Wilhelmine
transformations, coming to the conclusion that the
artist’s work revealed the psychological and biological
underpinnings of modern rational man whose drives and
passions undermined bourgeois constructions of society.

STUDIES IN ART HISTORIOGRAPHY
Series Editors Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham, UK
The aim of this series is to support and promote the study
of the history and practice of art historical writing focussing
on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from
the past to the present day in all areas and all periods.
Besides addressing the major innovators of the past it also
encourages re-thinking ways in which the subject may
be written in the future. It welcomes contributions from
young and established scholars and is aimed at building
an expanded audience for what has hitherto been a much
specialised topic of investigation.
Alois Riegl in Vienna 1875–1905
An Institutional Biography
Diana Reynolds Cordileone, Point Loma Nazarene
University, USA
Diana Cordileone applies standard methods of cultural and
intellectual history for close readings of Riegl’s published
texts, several of which are still unavailable in English.
Using archival and other primary sources this study also
illuminates the institutional conflicts and imperatives
that shaped Riegl’s oeuvre. The result is a multi-layered
philosophical, cultural and institutional history of this art
historian’s work of the fin-de-siècle that demonstrates his
close relationship to several of the significant actors in
Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century.

The Expressionist Turn in Art History
A Critical Anthology
Edited by Kimberly A. Smith, Southwestern University, USA
During the period in which Expressionist artists were
active in central Europe, art historians were producing
texts which were characterized as ‘expressionist’, yet the
notion of an expressionist art history has yet to be fully
explored in historiographic studies. This anthology offers
a cross-section of noteworthy art history texts written
1912–1933 that have been described as expressionist,
along with commentaries by an international group of
scholars. Together they offer a productive lens through
which to re-examine the practice and theory of early
twentieth-century art history.
A Theory of the Tache in Nineteenth-Century Painting
Øystein Sjåstad, University of Oslo, Norway
Without question, the tache (blot, patch, stain) is a central and recurring motif in nineteenth-century modernist painting. Manet’s and the Impressionists’
rejection of academic finish produced a surface where
the strokes of paint were presented directly, as patches or
blots, then indirectly as legible signs. Cézanne, Seurat, and
Signac painted exclusively with patches or dots. Through
a series of close readings, this book looks at the tache as
one of the most important features in nineteenth-century
modernism. The tache is a potential meeting point between
text and image and a pure trace of the artist’s body. Even
though each manifestation of tacheism generates its own
specific cultural effects, this book represents the first time
a scholar has looked at tacheism as a hidden continuum
within modern art.

Vladimir Markov and Russian Primitivism
A Charter for the Avant-Garde
Jeremy Howard, University of St Andrews, UK, Irena Bužinska, Latvian National Museum of Art, Latvia and Z.S. Strother, Columbia University, USA
This volume introduces the Latvian artist and champion
of artistic change in early twentieth-century Russia,
Voldemars Matvejs (Vladimir Markov), as a pioneering art photographer and assembles for the first time five of his most important essays. This book challenges hardening
narratives of primitivism by reexamining the enthusiasm for world art in the early modern period from the
perspective of Russia rather than Western Europe. The book will appeal to students of modernism, orientalism,
‘primitivism,’ historiography, African art, and the history of
the photography of sculpture.

Mikhail Larionov and the Cultural
Politics of Late Imperial Russia
Sarah Warren, Purchase College, USA
In the turbulent atmosphere of early twentieth-century
Tsarist Russia, avant-garde artists took advantage of a
newly pluralistic culture in order to challenge orthodoxies
of form as well as social prohibitions. Very few did this as
effectively, or to as broad an audience, as Mikhail Larionov.
This groundbreaking study examines the complete range
of his work (painting, book illustration, performance, and
curatorial work), and demonstrates that Larionov was
taking part in a broader cultural conversation that arose out of fundamental challenges to autocratic rule.

Modernism on Stage restores the Ballets Russes to its

and includes close readings of ballets designed by Picasso,

SUBJECT/OBJECT: NEW STUDIES IN SCULPTURE
Series Editors: Published in association with the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK; Commissioning Editor:
Penelope Curtis, Tate Britain; Henry Moore Institute Editor:
Jon Wood
We have become familiar with the notion that sculpture has
moved into the ‘expanded field’, but this field has remained
remarkably faithful to defining sculpture on its own terms.
Sculpture can be distinct, but it is rarely autonomous. This
series provides a forum for the publication and stimulation
of new research examining sculpture’s relationship with
the world around it, with other disciplines and with other
material contexts.
Sculpture and the Vitrine
Edited by John C. Welchman, University of California, USA
Vitrines and glass cabinets are familiar apparatuses that
have in large part defined modern modes of display and
visibility, both within and beyond the museum. The twelve
contributions to this volume examine some of the points
of origin of the vitrine and the various relations it brokers
with sculpture, first in the Wunderkammer and cabinet
of curiosities and then in dialog with the development of
glazed architecture beginning with Paxton’s Crystal Palace
(1851). The collection offers close discussions of the role
of the vitrine and shop window in the rise of commodity
culture and raises key questions about the nature and
implications of vitrinous space.

Edited by Peter Dent, University of Bristol, UK
This book introduces a new impetus to the discussion of

a dialogue between art historians and individuals who are
working in disciplines beyond art history. The collection
brings together a diverse set of approaches, with essays
tackling subjects from prehistoric figurines to the work of
contemporary artists, from pre-modern ideas about the
physiology of touch to tactile interaction in the museum,
and from the phenomenology of touch in philosophy to the findings of scientific study.

Painting, Politics, and the New Front of Cold War Italy
The Rise and Fall of American Art,
1940s–1980s
Adrian R. Duran, University of Nebraska-Omaha, USA
A Geopolitics of Western Art Worlds
The first English-language monograph on Il Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, this study explores the rise and fall of this
postwar Italian artists’ group as a representative instance
of the tensions facing Italian painting during the transition
out of two decades of Fascism and into the global divisions
of the Cold War. Adrian Duran argues that the binary
structures of the era – realism vs. abstraction, Communism
vs. democracy, conformism vs. freedom – have monopolized
the discourse surrounding the Fronte Nuovo and, with it,
the historiography of Italian painting during this period,
1944–50.

Impeccably researched and richly detailed, this book
addresses the issue of translation between visual arts and
landscape design in the 50-year career of American painter
and environmental artist Patricia Johanson. Exploring the
artist’s search for an “art of the real” as a member of the
postwar New York art world, it demonstrates that visual
translation cannot be understood solely through the works
of art, instead attention must be paid to the process of
creation. This book is an insightful attempt to confront a
crucial question in the history of art through the work of a contemporary artist.

collection explores the productive exchange – from rivalry
to inspiration to collaboration – between the two media in
the age of Romanticism and Modernism. The volume traces
the relationship between art and music, from the opposing
claims for superiority of the early nineteenth century, to the emergence of the concept of synesthesia around 1900.

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791
Background, Politics and Visual Art Policy
A Continuing Legacy
Euan McArthur, University of Dundee, UK
Oliver Bradbury
As a case study of the relationship between arts and
cultural policy and nationalism, this book examines the
overlooked significance of Scotland in the development of
British arts policy and institutions. Euan McArthur provides
a clear account of the background to and evolution of
the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts
(CEMA) and the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB) in
Scotland up to the formation of the Scottish Arts Council
(SAC) in 1967.
‘This brilliant and thoroughly researched book successfully
challenges the widely held belief of architectural historians
that Soane did not have a major or significant influence
on his contemporaries or successors. Our view of Soane
will thus be transformed by Bradbury’s detailed and fresh
account of 19th- and 20th-century architecture.’

representations with any depth. This book argues that
choosing Haiti as subject matter was a highly charged

William Reid Dick, Sculptor

Dennis Wardleworth
Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War
is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in
various media that circulated widely and were encountered
daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions.
The book draws on extensive archival research, brings
to light unpublished documents, and examines visual
propaganda, exhibitions, and texts unavailable in English.
It engages with questions of national self-definition and
historical memory at their intersections with the fine arts,
visual culture, exhibition history, tourism, and propaganda
during the Spanish Civil War and immediate post-war
period, as well as contemporary responses to the contested
legacy of the Spanish Civil War. It will be of interest to
scholars in art history, visual and cultural history, history,
and museum studies.
William Reid Dick (1878–1961) was one of a generation
of British sculptors air-brushed out of art history by the
modernist critics of the late twentieth century. This longoverdue monograph adds to the recent revival of interest
in this group of forgotten sculptors, by describing the
life and work of arguably the leading figure of the group
in unprecedented depth. The study draws upon a wealth
of previously unpublished material, including over 2000
letters, and press cuttings and photographs in the Tate
Archive, as well as letters and photographs held by Reid
Dick’s family. The first monograph on Reid Dick since 1945,
the book also includes images of over 40 of his works and a listing of over 200 works identified by the author.

A Century of Israeli Art
Yigal Zalmona
A Century of Israeli Art presents the story of modern
Israel’s visual culture, beginning with the pre-state years
of Zionist art in the early 20th century and extending to the
present day, as a new generation of Israeli artists rises to
international prominence in the 21st century.
Author Yigal Zalmona describes the many ways in which
Israel’s art has been influenced by its social and political
history, surveying the early days of the Bezalel School,
founded in 1906 in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts
movement; Land-of-Israel art during an era of nationbuilding; the pre-eminence of international modernism
and Lyrical Abstraction after 1948; social-activist and
conceptual art in the 1970s; and the recent embrace of
photography and video.

and visually exciting book provides the first comprehensive
overview of the career of a major, prolific and complex
artist, exploring Paolozzi’s work from all periods and across all media: collage, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, tapestry and film.
