Tosa Mitsunobu and the Small Scroll in Medieval Japan is the first book-length study to focus on short-story small scrolls (ko-e), one of the most complex but visually appealing forms of early Japanese painting. Small picture scrolls emerged in Japan during the fourteenth century and were unusual in constituting approximately half the height of the narrative handscrolls that had been produced and appreciated in Japan for centuries. Melissa McCormick's history of the small scroll tells the story of its emergence and highlights its unique pictorial qualities and production contexts in ways that illuminate the larger history of Japanese narrative painting.
Small scrolls illustrated short stories of personal transformation, a new literary form suffused with an awareness of the Buddhist notion of the illusory nature of worldly desires. The most accomplished examples of the genre resulted from the collaboration of the imperial court painter Tosa Mitsunobu (active ca. 1469-1522) and the erudite Kyoto aristocrat Sanjonishi Sanetaka (1455-1537). McCormick unveils the cultural milieu and the politics of patronage through diaries, letters, and archival materials, exposing the many layers of allusion that were embedded in these scrolls, while offering close readings that articulate the artistic language developed to an extreme level of refinement. In doing so, McCormick also offers the first sustained examination in English of Tosa Mitsunobu's extensive and underappreciated body of artistic achievements.
The three scrolls that form the core of the study are A Wakeful Sleep (Utatane soshi emaki), which recounts the miraculous union of a man and a woman who had previously encountered each other only in their dreams; The Jizo Hall (Jizodo soshi emaki), which tells the story of a wayward monk who achieves enlightenment with the help of a dragon princess; and Breaking the Inkstone (Suzuriwari soshi emaki), which narrates the sacrifice of a young boy for his household servant and its tragic consequences. These three works are easily among the most artistically accomplished and sophisticated small scrolls to have survived.

An affordable introduction to the quilts, paintings and posters of Faith Ringgold, a preeminent chronicler of Black life in America
Famed for her narrative quilts and her brightly colored paintings of African American life, New York artist Faith Ringgold (born 1930) has consistently challenged perceptions of identity and gender inequality through the lenses of the feminist and the civil rights movements.
As cultural assumptions and prejudices persist, her work retains its contemporary resonance both for observers and for fellow artists inspired by her narrative mastery and her ability to give mythical power to scenes of everyday life. Focusing on different series that she has created over the past 50 years, this monograph portrays the breadth of her work, including paintings, story quilts and political posters made during the Black Power movement. The book also includes an interview with the artist conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, as well as an essay written by the artist's daughter, Michelle Wallace.

(UN)IMAGINABLE
The Pandemic Series
Worldwide Pandemic? Honestly, who would've believed this could happen? Not me. But it did.
I was laid off from my day job on March 18th, and all of a sudden told to stay home for the unforeseeable future. After ten days of feeling unsettled and maybe a little scared, I decided to do what I love. I started to paint.
The decision I made was to paint one painting a day until the self isolation was over. I had no idea how long that would be, but I finally had the time to be a full-time artist. Every day, with every painting, I wrote about how I was feeling - little thoughts that were reactions to social media or the news or conversations with friends. This was an unprecedented time and emotions and opinions were flying.
I went back to work on May 22, #56 of my Pandemic Series, and decided that I would end on #60.
This is an Art Book first and foremost. But it is also a journal of my experience through a crazy time.

Glimmering Gone focuses on the work of two artists who live on different continents - Europe and North America. Ingalena Klenell is recognized for her intricate, lacelike kiln-formed compositions, while Beth Lipman is best known for her European-inspired glass still lifes. Both use colorless glass in large-scale installations to convey the strength and fragility of nature and the relationship of humans to the landscape.
The two artists have collaborated on three large-scale installations of colorless and white glass - Landscape, Mementos, and Artifacts - that present a metaphor for material culture, landscape, and life. Glimmering Gone presents their work in an elegant accordian-fold, slipcased volume.

Описание: Color and Manifest is an interactive compilation of quotes, mantras, and coloring sheets from best-selling artist and designer, Melissa A. Mitchell. Throughout her life, she has harnessed the power of color to create a world of her own. Her love for art, expression, and people fuels her to motivate others to find their purpose in a colorful way.
Bright, bold, and bursting with color-drenched patterns, the paintings of the postmodernist American artist Jeanne Leighton-Lundberg Clarke (1925-2014) shimmer like the stained-glass windows of an abstract cathedral. For decades, her "Favorite Ladies" paintings have delighted viewers with their almost whimsical appropriation of famous women from the history of art, borrowing from the canvases of such artists as douard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol. Stylistically paralleling the post-modernist movement of Pattern & Decoration, Clarke explored gender, familial relationships, and religious symbolism from sometimes unexpected and even contradictory perspectives; she explored femininity and female roles while resisting the label of feminist. Clarke, however, embraced the stylistic descriptor of maximalism. For decades, critics and historians have employed the term maximalism both to describe artworks and designs that embrace decorative overload and visual excess as well as to define trends that counter the reductive qualities of the minimalist aesthetic. When Clarke identified herself as a maximalist in 1980, she was the first known artist in contemporary history to use the term to denote a formal stylistic approach, rather than simply an adjective. Following in her pioneering footsteps, this book is the first to explore the contributions of Clarke as well as her role in the development of Maximalism. The authors take the reader on a visual journey, exploring the modernist roots of Clarke and her gendered approach to contemporary genre painting and culminating in a survey of the early twenty-first century fascination with Maximalism.

The first monograph on a beloved American ceramicist who has been making joyful and original work for nearly 80 years
Born in 1931, and living in New York, Alice Mackler today is still pushing forward not only her own art but also the boundaries of contemporary art across sculpture, painting, drawing and collage. While long beloved and admired by artists, Mackler over the last few years has finally found the wide and enthusiastic audience she deserves. With a focus on the female figure, Mackler's work is, as Matthew Higgs writes in this book, "a visceral accumulation of her experiences translated into a material form."
Mackler's vibrant, voluptuous ceramic sculptures evoke the Venus of Willendorf as well as versions of the female form by Willem de Kooning, Gaston Lachaise and Niki de Saint Phalle. At the same time, her work is in dialogue with contemporary ceramicists such as Ruby Neri, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess and Betty Woodman. The artist cites Paul Klee as an influence on her paintings, which feel rooted in modernism; her drawings call to mind Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet and Saul Steinberg. While these influences and references are telling, this comprehensive overview makes clear that her vision is genuinely her own. As Kelly Taxter writes in the book's central essay, "Mackler's visibility resists the seemingly inevitable invisibility that befalls ageing women." Now approaching the beginning of her ninth decade, Alice Mackler and her art continue to be as vital, urgent and current as ever.
