■ Avedon and Warhol are two of
the most famous artists of the
20th century
■ Warhol’s portraits of celebrities
are endlessly reproduced
■ Avedon’s portraits include not
only the rich and famous but also
major political figures
Artists Richard Avedon (1923–2004) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987) came to prominence in a
time of profound change around the world. Amid that political and social upheaval, both men
became renowned for their work, elucidating themes of portraiture, celebrity, gender, politics, and reli-
gion. Avedon brought the personality of the sitter to the forefront, revealing his subjects’ inner selves.
Warhol created portraits and images that were emotionally opaque, glamorous, and impersonal.
Avedon and Warhol knew each other, and each had an abiding belief in the power of the image to
seduce, amuse, and shock. They created original visions of the world around them, becoming two of
the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Michael Bracewell is a British writer and novelist. Ara H. Merjian is associate professor of Italian studies
at New York University. Mark Francis is a director of Gagosian Gallery and former chief curator of the
Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. John Richardson is a well-known art historian and curator. Philip
Gefter is an American author and photography critic. His biography of Sam Wagstaff, Wagstaff: Before
and After Mapplethorpe was published in 2014. He was Page One Picture Editor and wrote on photogra-
phy for the New York Times for more than 15 years.

Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894–1986) was the best-
known “amateur” in the history of photography,
famously discovered by the art world and given an exhibi-
tion at MoMA in New York when he was in his late sixties.
He began by recording the pastimes and customs of his
wealthy Parisian milieu, indulging his fascination with
sports and aviation, and throughout his long life he was
never without his camera. His friendships extended to the
superstars of French culture, but he also made thousands
of photographs of his family, wives, and lovers. His work
was irresistibly warm and engaging.
Although known for his black-and-white work,
Lartigue loved color film, experimenting with the
Autochrome process in the teens and twenties and
embracing Ektachrome in the late 1940s. His color work,
reproduced here for the first time, is astonishingly fresh:
the French countryside, the women in his life, famous
friends (Picasso, Fellini), and glimpses from his travels all
come alive in this delightful book.
Martine d’Astier is the director of the Jacques
Henri Lartigue Foundation and a former assistant of
Lartigue’s. Martine Ravache is an art historian and
photography critic.

■ Lawrence Weschler is a widely
read author of popular books on
contemporary art and culture
■ The first book on Ramiro Gomez,
a compelling and provocative
young LA Latino artist, and his
encounters in the contemporary
art world
■ Explores issues of cultural
diversity and social justice,
taking the reader from the LA
Chicano community to mansions
of Beverly Hills
Rising young LA artist Ramiro Gomez—born in 1986
in San Bernardino, California, to undocumented
Mexican immigrant parents—bridges the divide between
the wealthy and their usually invisible domestic help
(the nannies, gardeners, housecleaners, and others who
make their lifestyles possible). By inserting images of
these workers into sly pastiches of iconic David Hockney
paintings, subtly doctoring glossy magazine ads, and sub-
versively slotting life-size painted cardboard cutouts into
real-life situations, Gomez provides thought-provoking
social commentary on class divisions.
In a deceptively gentle and entertaining essay,
Lawrence Weschler engages with Gomez and his work,
teasing out threads of meaning and feeling. It’s a fascinat-
ing journey for anyone troubled by questions of social
equity, the chasms between cultures and classes, and the
purposes and possibilities of art.
LA-born Lawrence Weschler is the award-winning author
of Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees
(about Robert Irwin), True to Life (about David Hockney),
Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonders, and Everything That
Rises: A Book of Convergences, among many others. He
lives in New York City.

William Wegman’s postcard paintings
reflect a lifetime of engagement with nar-
rative, perspective, art history, architecture, popular
culture, humor, and philosophy in art. Starting
with one or more vintage postcards, Wegman
constructs scenes that range from intimate interiors
to cosmic vistas, filling audaciously complex spaces
with intriguing incident. Collected together, the
paintings possess the universal, encyclopedic,
and mysterious qualities of their source materials.
In addition to Martin Filler’s introduction, a stellar
group of contributors responds to the work.
William Wegman is a pioneering video artist,
conceptualist, photographer, and painter. He splits
his time between New York City and Maine. Bob
Elliott was formerly half the comedy duo Bob and
Ray. Martin Filler writes about architecture for the
New York Review of Books. Amy Hempel’s The
Collected Stories was named one of the Ten Best
Books of the Year by the New York Times Book
Review in 2006. Robert Krulwich is the cohost of
WNYC’s Radiolab. Susan Orlean is a staff writer for
the New Yorker.

■ An important work for followers
of modern sculpture
■ Arthur Carter has large
followings from his careers in
investment banking, journalism,
and the arts
Arthur Carter, who has spent much of his life in the
worlds of finance and journalism, is an artist who
has created a range of geometric abstractions and whose
Orthogonal series will certainly have an important place
in the history of sculpture. “Only squares and circles, lines
and ellipses,” he says, “can elegantly explain and simplify
the complex meaning of life.” In this comprehensive
volume on his work, journalist Frank Rich contributes
a biographical foreword and critic Robert C. Morgan
describes Carter’s achievements as an artist, carefully
analyzing his place in the tradition of modern abstract art
and the recent history of sculpture.
Frank Rich has written extensively about politics and
the arts over a long career, most recently at New York
Magazine. He is executive producer of the HBO show
Veep. He lives in New York City. Robert C. Morgan
is an art critic, art historian, curator, poet, and painter.
He has published numerous books on modern and
contemporary art and artists, and he currently teaches at
Pratt Institute. He lives in New York City.

Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The
Obama Administration. While all of these brands
are vastly different, they share at least one thing in com-
mon: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is
one of the new school of influential graphic designers
who combine the power of design, social media, entre-
preneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful
business and way of life.
Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work,
case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos,
and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters,
record covers, logos—and presents the process behind
his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things
We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable
advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much
more goes into design than just what appears on the
page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on
the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the
complete package for the new generation of designers.
Aaron James Draplin is the founder of the Draplin
Design Co., based in Portland, Oregon. He has created
print, identity, and illustration work for Timberline Lodge,
Woolrich, Patagonia, Nike, Mark Maron, and Sasquatch
Festival, among others.

Since its founding in 1916, British Vogue has acted as a cultural barometer, placing fashion in
the context of art, literature, and politics. The magazine has captured the zeitgeist of each
decade—the austerity and optimism that followed two world wars, the swinging London scene of the
sixties, the radical seventies, the image-conscious eighties—and continues to be on the cutting edge
of design and photography.
Decade by decade, Vogue 100 presents the greatest moments in the magazine’s history—the
photography, illustrations, and essays that recorded the fashion and taste of the time. Complete with
essays that detail the rich history of each decade, the book covers the artists, designers, photogra-
phers, and writers who shaped the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond. With more
than 300 photographs of these pivotal
figures—from Matisse to Bacon, Freud to
Hirst, Dietrich to Paltrow, and Schiaparelli
to McQueen—Vogue 100 offers an in-depth
look at a century of Britain’s fashion, art,
and culture.

Vogue and Russian Vogue. He most recently

(Midnight Express, Scarface, Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Snowden),
he is as well known for his outspoken, controversial political beliefs as he
is for his innovative films.
Over the course of five years, Stone and author Matt Zoller Seitz
discussed the arc of Stone’s life and work with extraordinary candor. The
cinematic mastermind shares anecdotes about Vietnam, his childhood,
his struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder, and his continual
struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. Seitz was given unprecedented
access to Stone’s personal archive, and these interviews are accompa-
nied by never-before-seen material that dates back to Stone’s childhood
in the 1950s, including personal snapshots, private correspondence,
annotated script pages and storyboards, and behind-the-scenes pho-
tography. At once a complex analysis of a master director’s vision and a
painfully honest autobiography, The Oliver Stone Experience promises
to be as daring, intense, and provocative as Stone’s films.
Matt Zoller Seitz is the television critic for New York magazine and the
editor in chief of RogerEbert.com. He is the author of The Wes Anderson
Collection and The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest
Hotel. He lives in Brooklyn.
Oliver Stone himself serves as guide to a

Alan Turing (1912–1954) was the mathematician credited
with cracking the German Enigma code during World
War II, saving countless lives and speeding the Allied defeat
of the Nazis. Though far from the spotlight, that was merely
Turing’s second act on the world stage: Before the war he
launched modern computer science with his creation of the
universal Turing machine, and for his third act he created an
artificial intelligence test that bears his name and remains the
gold standard. Turing kept his code-breaking work a secret to
safeguard his native England, but didn’t hide his homosexual-
ity, which led to his tragic death at the hands of the country
he sacrificed so much to protect. Jim Ottaviani and Leland
Purvis reveal Turing to be a groundbreaking theoretician and
an eccentric genius whose work still fuels the computing and
communication systems that define our modern world.
Jim Ottaviani is the recipient of multiple Eisner and Ignatz
Award nominations and was awarded a Xeric Foundation
grant. His work has made Booklist’s Top 10 Graphic Novels for
Youth list, YALSA’s Great Graphic Novels for Teens list, and
has been selected as a New York Times Editors’ Choice. He
lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Leland Purvis is an Eisner and
Ignatz Award nominee and an occasional reviewer for the
Comics Journal. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

Using the sepia tones of the Dust Bowl as his pal-
ette, author and artist Nick Hayes tells the story of
world-famous folkie Woody Guthrie (1912–1967), starting
in the 1920s when Guthrie was a teenager supporting
himself in dried-up, post-boomtown Oklahoma. Picking
up a harmonica and eventually a battered guitar, Guthrie
finds solace in the ancient lineage of folksong. Hayes
charts the musician’s course from Oklahoma and Texas
towns ravaged by dust and the Depression to boxcars,
factory farms, and the migrant camps of California,
highlighting Guthrie’s dedication to singing American
folk tunes and creating his own modern classics along
the way. Hayes ends his portrait in 1940, at the pivotal
time when Guthrie makes his way to New York and writes
“This Land Is Your Land,” his iconic anthem tinged with
both clear-eyed reality and optimism.
Based in London, Nick Hayes is the author of the highly
acclaimed The Rime of the Modern Mariner and has pub-
lished two collections of his short comics in the United
Kingdom. He is a political cartoonist for the Guardian and
has regular cartooning slots in the Literary Review and
the New Statesman.

appreciation week
Erin McHugh’s last two books, Like My Mother
Always Said . . . and Like My Father Always Said . . .,
pulled together a rainbow of savvy, humorous, and ques-
tionable wisdom from parents. Her next volume leaves
home and heads for the classroom to celebrate what we
gleaned from perhaps the most obvious candidates for
learning: our teachers. The same quotation crowdsourc-
ing McHugh has used so well before is at work again
in Like My Teacher Always Said . . . . The book includes
both full-page tales and short quips and is divided into
chapters such as “Scare Tactics,” “Advice That Stuck,”
and “Crazy Town.” The material is exceptionally rich and
comes from a diverse roster of characters—from grade
school instructors and piano teachers to Catholic school
nuns, guidance counselors, coaches, and mentors. This
book is a perfect way to inspire memories of student days
and an ideal gift for teachers to show your appreciation
for the influence they’ve had on your life.
Based in New York, Erin McHugh is a former publishing
executive and author of more than twenty-five books of
trivia, history, children’s titles, and more.
A collection of wise, weird, and funny
advice from teachers
“At my Episcopalian boarding school dances, Miss D. would break
up the close dancing with ‘Make room for the Holy Ghost.’ ”
—Hilda
“My AP English teacher told me that he didn’t mind my sleeping in class. However, he requested that I fall asleep before the class began.”
—Jeff on Mr. B.
“If he really liked something, my junior high band teacher would say,
‘That worked slicker than snot on a doorknob!’ ” —Joan on Mr. S.
“I went to an all-girls school where Miss E. told us that the only excuse
for not finishing her (extremely copious) homework was sickness
or a young man.” —Tina
“My seventh grade English teacher had a sign above the door beneath the clock that read: ‘Time
passes . . . will YOU?’ ” —Cait Cannon on Mr. M.

As a single dad, Matthew Carroll didn’t
always have someone to share in his
frequent laughter and incredulity at the various
things his daughter, Morgan, said. Hoping to docu-
ment some of her best commentary, Carroll took
to recording her choicest quotes on his iPhone
when she was between the ages of three and five.
He then compiled them chronologically in a small
homemade volume for friends and family who,
compelled by the hilarious and touching content,
encouraged him to share it with a larger audience.
Can I Sit on Your Lap While You’re Pooping? is
the record of the hilarious, crazy, and touching
pronouncements of a little girl, but it’s also the
irresistible documentation of the love between a
parent and child.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Matthew Carroll has
worked at Wieden+Kennedy as an art director,
designer, and writer for the past 10 years. Morgan
Carroll loves animals and riding her bicycle.
A charming collection of 140 exceptionally funny and offbeat quotes from a young girl
“Did you ever meet Smokey the Bear?
He helps children start fires.”
“I’m going to get big and you will get small and
I will carry you.”
“I’m going to want your presents.”
“When I grow up, I want to be a stepmother.”
“I’m going to name my bunny Lucifer.”
“This corn dog is blowing my mind.”

Exhuming the stories of the notable and not-so-

days, including farmers, scientists, oligarchs, criminals,
and the occasional US president. The book also features

Colin Spoelman, a former rooftop moonshiner from
Kentucky, and David Haskell, the great-grandson of
a prohibition-era bootlegger from New York, founded
Brooklyn’s Kings County Distillery in 2010 to make
small-scale batches of moonshine, bourbon, and other
whiskeys. Spoelman is a full-time distiller and writer;
Haskell is deputy editor at New York magazine.

America’s pit master, Myron Mixon, celebrates his south Georgia culinary roots in this
collection of his most personal and never-before-shared methods, recipes, and techniques
for smoking meat on an old-school barbecue pit. In barbecue, “old-school” means cooking on a
homemade coal-fired masonry pit, where the first step is burning wood to make your own coals,
followed by shoveling those coals beneath the meat and smoking that meat until it acquires the
distinct flavor only true pit-smoking can infuse. Myron Mixon’s BBQ Rules has 50 methods and reci-
pes for smoking every kind of meat from chicken wings to the whole hog, including all the basics
you need to get there and variations for cooking on smokers and grills. Also included are Mixon’s
personal favorites: his dad’s juicy T-bones, his prizewinning ribs, and even his own blackberry
cobbler. Featuring step-by-step lessons on building a pit, managing a fire, and selecting the best
wood, Mixon breaks down the essentials to help you become a pitmaster in your own backyard.
Myron Mixon has won more than 200 grand BBQ championships. He is the New York Times
bestselling author of Smokin’ with Myron Mixon and Everyday Barbecue and the star of
Destination America’s BBQ Rules, BBQ Pitmasters, and BBQ Pit Wars. He lives in Unadilla, Georgia.

the prestigious MasterChef trophy!

The first 40 days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting
period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on author Heng Ou’s
own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set period of “confinement,” in
which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby,
The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth.
As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely “bounce back” after deliver-
ing their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional
challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifeline—a
source of connection, nourishment, and guidance.
The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing soups; replenishing meals
and snacks; and calming and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support
the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to the recipes, this warm and
encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the post-
partum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honoring the significance
of pregnancy and birth.
The First Forty Days, fully illustrated to feel both inspiring and soothing, is
a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-
be—the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby.
Heng Ou is the founder of MotherBees, a meal delivery service for new mothers.

interiors and furnishings. Woven into each chapter are essays that offer
an intimate look at the gardens, the home’s collections, and the many
delights of the property—each written by high-profile friends who have
visited La Colina.

C. F. A. Voysey (1857–1941) advocated honest and
thoughtful design, believed in high standards of
craftsmanship, and encouraged the use of only the finest
materials. His simple, elegant work—often enhanced by
highly symbolic decoration—was considered revolutionary
in his time and continues to enchant today. This definitive
volume on Voysey’s design life focuses on the English
architect as a designer of furniture, metalwork, and textiles,
providing a new analysis of his characteristic motifs. It
offers a complete and fully illustrated account of both
his output and his vision for domestic life at the turn of
the 20th century. Original drawings and plans, archival
photography, and images of surviving objects are united
here. Extensive new research details the personal and
professional relationships that enabled Voysey to become
a great and prolific designer, shedding light on how he ran
his business; how he promoted, exhibited, and sold his
work; who his clients were; and who was responsible for
manufacturing his designs.

Renowned for his iconic The Birth of Venus, Italian Renaissance painter
Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) is arguably one of the greatest artists of all
time. His work has inspired countless others, and his legacy is easy to see in
everything from Degas’s drawings and Warhol’s first computer portrait to Jeff
Koons’s album cover for Lady Gaga. As famous as he is today, Botticelli was
quickly forgotten after his death, only to be rediscovered in the 19th century.
Much of what we know of his art has been pieced together, as only three of his
works are signed or documented. Botticelli’s continuing impact raises a number
of questions: How does a painter acquire international fame? What made
Botticelli a pop icon? This fascinating book, published to accompany a major
exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is the first to contrast Botticelli’s
work with modern appropriations of it—including paintings, drawings, sculptures,
photographs, videos, fashion, and design by artists such as Edgar Degas,
Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, René Magritte, Andy Warhol,
Cindy Sherman, and Bill Viola.
Mark Evans is the senior curator of paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
He has written extensively on painting and is the author of numerous books on
art, including John Constable: The Making of a Master. Stefan Weppelmann is
director of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

What best captures the spirit of Jazz Age
fashion? A flapper dress? A cloche hat? As
this electrifying book reveals, the Jazz Age signaled
a sea change in design that rippled through every
aspect of apparel—and would shape fashion for years
to come. When the Ballets Russes took Paris by storm
in 1909, their costumes lit a fire under the fashion
world. Their exotic designs, vibrant patterns, and
rich, luxurious materials inspired ingenious designers
like Paul Poiret, Natalia Goncharova, Gabrielle “Coco”
Chanel, and Madeleine Vionnet to create garments
that were bold, inventive, and quintessentially modern.
With shorter hemlines and more daring cuts, these cre-
ations reflected the spirit of liberation and increased
independence for women. With a wealth of illustra-
tions, many from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s
world-famous dress collection, this lush book captures
fashions as playful as the Charleston and as elegant as
a luxurious ocean liner.
Suzanne Lussier was a curator in the department
of furniture, textiles, and fashion at the Victoria and
Albert Museum. She teaches art and fashion history
in London.

This small volume on precious gold boxes—specifically
18th-century snuffboxes—features some of the most beautiful
examples from the famous collection of Sir Arthur and Rosalinde
Gilbert. Their passion for elegance, color, beauty, and craftsmanship is
palpable in every single artifact they acquired. Used by aristocrats to
signify taste, status, and wealth in the single gesture of taking a pinch
of snuff, boxes like these were meant to be admired from up close.
These miniature masterpieces were a key accessory for every stylish
man and woman in the 18th century, reflecting the culture and fashion
of the period. Gold is the defining material of the 50 masterpieces
presented, but the variety of decorative materials—including Japanese
lacquer, enamelwork, inlaid precious stones, portraits, and micromosa-
ics, a term that Gilbert coined—is extraordinary. The collection boasts
four diamond-set boxes associated with Frederick II of Prussia, several
owned by Catherine the Great, and other exquisite examples made
throughout Europe.
Heike Zech is curator of the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection at
the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

For decades, master printmaker Norman Ackroyd has been
fascinated by the British coastline. Gorgeously printed on
thick paper, A Hebridean Notebook presents his watercolors of
this archipelago just northwest of mainland Scotland. Inhabited
since prehistoric times, some of the Hebridean islands are now
deserted and rarely visited. These original plein-air watercolor
sketches, some produced under arduous conditions of weather
and sea from a small fishing boat, have provided the basis for
many of his most memorable etchings. A gazetteer at the back
contains the artist’s thoughts and further information about the
locations of the sketches—and the prevailing weather conditions
under which they were made.
Norman Ackroyd was born in Leeds in 1938 and studied at the
Royal College of Art in London. He turned to landscape depicting
in the 1980s, and since then his etchings, particularly of the
ruggedly beautiful British coastline, have been widely admired
around the world.

Frederick the Great, King of Prussia (r. 1740–86), had a particular preference for the green stone chrysoprase, and allegedly even asked to be shown boxes in this material on his deathbed. The light beauty of the box is in stark contrast to the story told by the stone: chrysoprase was found in Silesia, which became part of Prussia as a result of Frederick’s military campaigns, commemorated in the maps of the silver box medal.

Ann Christopher is a British sculptor
who works primarily in cast bronze,
stainless steel, silver, and fabricated Corten
steel. Her award-winning nonfigurative work
comprises both large and small sculptures
and site-specific commissions. Her titles—
including First Wall, Black Line, and Split
Reflection—possess a simplicity that is belied
by the complex connotations of the sculptures
themselves. Upon closer inspection, these
elegant and understated works reveal con-
nections with a vast spectrum of sources from
across the globe, such as rock formations in
Israel, fossils from the Cretaceous chalks of
Hertfordshire, prehistoric standing stones
in Avebury, and early Aegean figurines. The
marks Christopher makes on her works are
suggestive both of natural processes, such
as weathering, and of the forms and tools of
mechanized industry. In this definitive publica-
tion, bold photography expertly showcases
the detail of her astonishing sculptures.

The history of architecture is a story of
continual innovation, and at certain points
within that story come architects whose visions
completely defy convention. Mavericks focuses
on 12 such figures from the history of British archi-
tecture, including Sir John Soane, Charles Rennie
Mackintosh, Cedric Price, and Zaha Hadid. From the
stripped-back classicism of Soane’s Dulwich Picture
Gallery to Hadid’s neofuturistic London Aquatics
Centre for the 2012 Olympics, the architects’ work is
bold, frequently controversial, and often radical. It is
architecture that actively resists being pigeonholed
into a particular style or period. What connects this
naturally disparate group of free creative spirits is
the way each has charted his or her own course,
often deliberately evading conventions of taste,
fashion, and ways of working. This book offers a
fresh take on their creations, establishing new and
sometimes surprising historical connections while
proposing an intriguing alternative narrative to the
history of British architecture.

Venice in the early 16th century was Europe’s undisputed capital
of culture: home to some of the finest artists of the Italian
Renaissance whose importance stretched far beyond the region. The
first great painter to emerge was also the most mysterious. Little is
known about Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione
(c. 1477–1510), and few works have been attributed to him with certainty,
yet he painted what is considered the first landscape in Western art
history and his influence was profoundly felt by contemporaries includ-
ing Lorenzo Lotto, Palma il Vecchio, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Titian.
This sumptuous volume brings together many of the works attributed
to Giorgione, along with other masterpieces of the Venetian school,
demonstrating the extraordinary richness of color and mood for which
these artists were famed. Published to accompany a major exhibition,
this book brings to life an extraordinary moment in art history.

Following his sweeping exploration of landscape in 2012 at
the Royal Academy of Arts, London, published in the phe-
nomenally successful David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, this new
volume looks exclusively at the portraits that David Hockney, one
of the most famous artists in the world, has been painting recently.
In 2012, Hockney returned to California, where he had lived
and worked for long periods. There followed a series of painted
portraits, the subjects of which ranged from studio assistants and
office staff to family, friends, and long-term acquaintances. Also
included are a number of fellow artists, curators, and gallerists,
including John Baldessari and Larry Gagosian. Reproduced in
stunning colorplates along with two important new texts, this vivid
series of portraits, executed in bold acrylics, is observant and full of
life, marking Hockney’s vibrant return to Technicolor form.

A New York–based, British-born art-
ist, Bill Jacklin worked as a graphic
designer before turning to painting in
the early 1960s. Initially concerned with
abstraction, Jacklin started to focus on
figurative work, and principally on depict-
ing light and movement, in the mid-1970s.
After moving to New York in 1985, the city
began to play a starring role in many of his
works, particularly his atmospheric images
of ice skaters, and his early training in
graphics is evident in the bold, striking
patterns he draws from the chaos of urban
life. Encompassing a range of techniques,
including etching and monoprints,
Jacklin’s prolific output ranges from “urban
portraits” of the artist’s adopted city to
snow scenes and seascapes that capture
the elemental drama of nature. This
authoritative collection is a master class
in evoking atmosphere, movement, and
space through printmaking.

The subjects and styles of painter
Anthony Whishaw encompass an excep-
tional range. He paints in concurrent series,
which sometimes overlap to form unexpected
hybrids. His paintings vary in scale from only
8 inches to nearly 23 feet in length, and a
similar breadth of scope also exists within his
subject matter, which examines macro- and
microcosms from the depths of space to
instances of electrochemical activity in the
brain. His paintings can be both figurative and
abstract, illustrative and allusive, and he uses
a wide range of media, often adding sand,
soil, ash, or metal to his works. The results are
considerations of memory and experience.
Past and present pictorial languages combine
to create unforeseen visual encounters on
the edge of representation. This authoritative
book, lavishly illustrated, includes text by
Richard Davey that unravels the complexities
of Whishaw’s remarkable work.

Revered for his resonant, inventive, and unapolo-
getically alive paintings, Frank Auerbach draws
on both the people and urban landscapes near his
studio in Camden Town, London, for inspiration. His
intentions have been consistent: “What I wanted to
do was to record the life that seemed to me to be
passionate and exciting and disappearing all the time.”
This visually arresting publication will accompany
a retrospective of Auerbach’s work presented at
Tate Britain and the Kunstmuseum Bonn in 2015.
The exhibition, which will provide a wholly fresh
survey of Auerbach’s career, is curated by Catherine
Lampert—who has sat for Auerbach since 1978—in
close consultation with the artist. The only accessible,
affordable survey of Auerbach’s work on the market,
this much-needed assessment includes a new essay
by art historian T. J. Clark. The book also features
statements from the artist and previously unseen
documentary photographs.

This first collection reveals the remarkably eloquent writings and
conversations of sculptor Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975). The
compilation finally makes available previously out-of-print and inac-
cessible writings, and includes a significant number of unpublished
texts. A surprisingly large body of work, it spans almost the whole
of Hepworth’s artistic life. Her gift for language and desire to com-
municate to a public are evident throughout. Alongside the writings
are Hepworth’s lectures and speeches, a selection of interviews and
conversations with writers and journalists, and radio and television
broadcasts. The collection sheds new light on Hepworth’s life, her
artistic practices, the sources of her inspiration, the breadth of her
intellectual interests, and her deep engagement with contemporary
politics and society, from the United Nations to St. Ives. Images
include replications of the sculptor’s manuscripts and archive
photographs from Hepworth’s own collection.
Sophie Bowness is an art historian and trustee of the

■ EDITED BY SOPHIE BOWNESS
Renowned for her elegantly sleek sculptures in stone, wood,
and bronze, Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975) is among
Britain’s most important modern artists. This groundbreaking
new publication focuses on the spaces and contexts, physical
and conceptual, in which the artist is positioned. It examines her
interest in staging and presenting work—indoors and out—in
studio, film, garden, stage, architecture, photography, and print.
As well as placing her work alongside her British and international
contemporaries, a broad range of distinguished contributors
also consider wider technical and intellectual concerns. Richly
illustrated with more than 200 color images drawn from her entire
career, the catalog represents some of Hepworth’s best-known
works in addition to introducing some of her less familiar pieces.
The book features previously unseen documentary material,
including photographs and film stills that cast new light on one of
the 20th century’s greatest artists.

SPECIFICATIONSSince 1960, progressive forces within art
education have fired new impulses in the
field of artistic production. As society at large
embraced youth and popular culture, art-school
students with international aspirations tore
down class barriers, fused fashion with pop, and
insisted that art was integral to social change. Art
schools responded to these seismic changes,
widening the range of artistic exploration from
a craft-based curriculum to more art-historical
and experimental approaches. A new generation
emerged, one whose techniques, perspectives,
and arguments were more influenced by ideas of
art theory and personal exploration, and whose
forms of expression influence artists today. Now,
for the first time, this history of innovation is
uncovered by scholars in the field who address
key aspects of a dynamic period—from the
work of early pioneers in international styles to
changes in studio practice—and new roles in
art schools for art history, architecture, and the
art market.

How many times have you read the caption
next to a work of art in a museum or gallery,
or a review of an exhibition, and found yourself none
the wiser? The language in which modern art is
described can be even more mystifying than the art
itself. Now, a fully updated and expanded edition of
the acclaimed Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms offers
a clear and reliable guide, with more than 450 pithy
entries on the full range of international modern and
contemporary art. Drawing on the expertise of Tate,
the book provides an authoritative and up-to-date
resource, small enough to fit into a bag or pocket.
Spanning the dawn of Impressionism to the digital
age, every term—whether a theme, movement,
medium, or technique—is defined with clarity and
precision. This is the perfect companion for all
those wanting to increase their understanding and
appreciation of modern and contemporary art.

Gwen John (1876–1939) was an
artist with a singular vision, one
whose intense gaze produced some of the
most beguiling and atmospheric paintings
of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This concise survey of her life and work
places John—often unfairly thought of as a
recluse—at the artistic heart of London and
Paris. A seminal figure within these circles,
her work is reappraised in that context and
explored in terms of the alliances and dif-
ferences John had with her contemporaries.
Gwen John’s representation of the female
nude, her paintings of interiors, and the
effect of her Catholic faith on her work are all
discussed. The author also discusses the key
relationship between John’s position as a
woman artist and her lifelong fascination with
the portrayal of the female sitter.

John Constable (1776–1837) is best
known for his idyllic paintings of the
English countryside. Yet he was also a
brilliant innovator who brought a new
vivacity to the observation of nature. He
practiced oil painting in the open air,
capturing in particular the “effervescent”
effects of atmospherics—as can be seen,
for example, in his wonderful studies of
clouds. His art became a benchmark for
naturalist painters throughout Europe
and America in the 19th century, and he
continues to be one of the most popular
and influential artists today. This book
draws extensively on the artist’s own
correspondence to provide a fresh
understanding of his artistic aims and
achievements, and reassesses his role
in the development of modern art.
William Vaughan is professor emeritus
in history of art at Birkbeck College,

Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was one of the most influential artists of his generation. Though
he was hailed as the “greatest living realist painter,” Freud’s commitment to realism,
and particularly to the human figure, was often controversial. Always creating debate, Freud
consistently addressed questions of human existence and perception, testing, through a sus-
tained practice of looking, the possibility of knowing and recording human individuality. In this
brand new survey of the artist’s life and work, Virginia Button introduces us to one of the 20th
century’s most important artists. The book is organized in seven thematic chapters covering the
whole span of Freud’s life and work.
Virginia Button is a writer and curator, and director of the Falmouth School of Art, Falmouth

In the last decade, interest in photography has
exploded. Among the most compelling and popular
art forms, photography is now recognized as central to
the development of modern and contemporary art. In
this accessibly written survey, art photography comes
alive through a series of frames—from documentary
style and pictorialism to archives, narratives, and the
conceptual uses of the medium. David Bate traces
major developments and themes from the earliest
days of photography, in the 1830s, to the present day,
examining the many ways in which photography and
art have intersected since the birth of the medium.
Featuring works from a wide and international group
of artists—including Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton,
Lee Miller, Brassaï, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Ed
Ruscha, and Gillian Wearing—this comprehensive
volume uncovers the Anglo-American and European
contexts of art photography, as well as the Asian,
African, and Middle Eastern perspectives.

What lasting legacy did British colonialism have
on the cultures once under the Empire’s con-
trol? A rich and varied visual culture emerged in places
under British governance, from the Americas to India
and Australasia. Writers, artists, and museums have long
played a role in documenting the cultural impact of British
colonialism, and yet, since the vast Imperial exhibitions of
the early 20th century, there has been no comprehensive
presentation of the objects made across the British
Empire. This publication, which accompanies a major Tate
Britain exhibition, fills that gap.
In this landmark study, leading scholars focus on
how particular objects tell the history of life under British
rule. Paintings by artists such as John Singer Sargent
and Sidney Nolan are presented alongside Benin bronze
heads and Mughal miniatures in a survey that ranges from
16th-century colonialism to the British Empire’s decline in

In Mona Hatoum’s breathtaking works, conflict arises
from the juxtaposition of opposites—beauty and
horror, desire and revulsion. Born in Beirut in 1952
to a Palestinian family, Hatoum is concerned with
confrontational themes such as violence, oppression,
and voyeurism, often in reference to the human body.
Published to accompany a major retrospective, Mona
Hatoum features the artist’s major works, including
well-known pieces such as Corps étranger, 1994, an
endoscopic journey through the artist’s body; Hot
Spot, a large, cage-like globe with world contours
outlined in neon; and Present Tense, which deals with
the idea of shifting territories. Beautifully designed,
with 250 color images, this book will prove a must for
all of those interested in contemporary art, especially
video art and installation.

Stunning masterpieces of Chinese and Japanese art
are presented here alongside the glittering creations
that they inspired world-renowned jeweler Cartier to create.
This lavishly illustrated book compares and contrasts
Cartier’s Asian-influenced creations—diamond-studded
pagodas and pavilions, shimmering phoenixes, jade dragons,
and cherry blossoms rendered in colorful gems—alongside
exotic objects from the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far
Eastern Art, in Geneva, Switzerland.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, exotic objects
from China and Japan fascinated Westerners, captivating
art lovers and influencing designers. Collector Alfred Baur
(1865–1951) began assembling his unparalleled collection
of Asian works and Paris jeweler Alfred Cartier (1841–1925)
began designing Asian-themed jewels and precious objects.
Here, side by side with Cartier’s precious creations, are
imperial porcelains, lacquerware embellished with precious
metals, embroidered silks, jades, colored enamels, netsuke,
sword hilts, and prints, offering fresh insight into the marvels
of China, of Japan, and of Cartier.
Estelle Niklès van Osselt is assistant curator at the

Innsmouth: a crumbling Massachusetts seaport
shadowed in rumor and suspicion. A town
inhabited by sullen and hostile people with disturb-
ing, amphibian looks. It’s no place for a sightseer.
Passing through Innsmouth on a genealogical
tour of New England, a young man makes an
ill-advised attempt to unravel the town’s long-veiled
history. What unfolds is a terrifying tale of a town
transformed by its interaction with a monstrous
aquatic civilization. As Innsmouth’s murky history is
brought to light, the narrator learns that the town’s
mysterious past is tied to his own family history. It is
a revelation that has chilling consequences for the
present—and for the future.

Somalian, wearing knee-length leggings and a baggy

travels to London. There she meets Howard Green, one
of the first black students at Oxford. Like Irmina, Howard
is looking for an independent existence—and a love affair
blossoms between the two outsiders. But the relationship
comes to an abrupt end when Irmina, constrained by
the political situation in Hitler’s Germany, has to return
to Berlin. Political events accelerate, and her letters to
Howard are returned unopened. It will be 30 years until
she receives another. Based on a true story, this moving
and perceptive graphic novel conjures the oppressive
atmosphere of wartime Germany and reflects on the
passive complicity of its people with sympathy and

■ The narrative of Agatha is

The life of Agatha Christie was as mysterious and
eventful as her fiction. This beautifully illustrated
graphic novel traces the life of the Queen of Whodunnit
from her childhood in Torquay, England, through a career
filled with success, mischief, and adventure, to her later
years as Dame Agatha. Revealing a side to Christie that
will surprise and delight many readers, Agatha introduces
us to a free-spirited and thoroughly modern woman who,
among other things, enjoyed flying, travel, and surfing.
Centering around an episode in 1926 when Christie
staged her own disappearance, Agatha is an intriguing,
entertaining, and funny exploration of the 20th century’s
best-loved crime novelist.

In Munch, writer and artist Steffen Kverneland brings
the story of one of the world’s most influential
painters to vivid life. This extraordinary, inventive
graphic novel uses text drawn exclusively from the
quotes of Edvard Munch and his contemporaries.
Filled with authenticity and life, Munch debunks the
familiar myth of the half-mad expressionist painter—
anguished, starving, and ill-treated—and draws out
his neglected sense of humor and optimism. Born out
of a lifelong fascination with Munch’s life and work,
Kverneland’s seven-year project is a landmark of
graphic biography and the funniest, most entertain-
ing portrait yet of a complex man and the pioneering
artist behind The Scream.
Steffen Kverneland is an award-winning comics
artist. He is the author of biographies of Henrik Ibsen
and Olaf Gulbransson, among many other books. He
lives in Norway.
An acclaimed graphic-novel biography of the great expressionist artist behind The Scream

sequential storytelling. . . .

■ Written by popular food blogger Erin Gleeson, The Forest Feast for
Kids serves up quick, easy, and fun vegetarian recipes that kids will
love to make. In addition to its recipes—which span meals, party food,
snacks, and beverages—the book includes party ideas, illustrated
guides on how to use utensils safely, and a glossary of culinary terms.
Vibrant photographs of the dishes, as well as of children making them,
complemented by Erin’s own fanciful watercolor illustrations and hand-
lettering, showcase the rustic simplicity of the fare.

■ Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was a world-renowned modern
artist noted for her sculptures made of wood, steel, stone, and cast
rubber. She spent her childhood in France as an apprentice to her
mother, a weaver of tapestries, before becoming a tapestry artist
herself. This biographical picture book shows how Bourgeois’s
childhood experiences weaving with her loving, nurturing mother
provided the inspiration for her most famous works.

This Land Is Our LandA HISTORY OF AMERICAN IMMIGR ATION
■ BY LINDA BARRETT OSBORNE
■ Everyone has heard of the Boston Tea Party, but few know about the
other tea parties that took place at the same time: Boston, Philadelphia,
New York City, and Charleston. America’s Tea Parties provides
background on England’s taxation of the colonies, with emphasis on the
Stamp and Tea taxes, the larger social and political issues the colonies
were having with England, why it was crucial that these tea parties
happened, and the revolution these demonstrations led to.
