Clark atlanta University art galleries
in atlanta, georgia celebrates the seventieth
anniversary of the founding of
its permanent collection and the sixtieth
anniversary of the unveiling of the
Art of the Negro murals with this commemorative
volume. Initially conceived
with works selected from
annual exhibitions, the collection
today constitutes a rare and remarkable
assemblage of african-american
art. In the Eye of the Muses tells the
story of the atlanta University art annuals
held between 1942 and 1970,
from which the collection stemmed,
cataloging the 887 artists who participated
and crucially enhancing our understanding
of art by african
americans. In an accompanying essay,
Hale Woodruff’s Art of the Negro
mural suite is eloquently explicated by
art critic Jerry Cullum. In the Eye of the
Muses presents a monumental catalogue
of a unique collection.

Behold, America! is an ambitious
collaboration between three prominent
San Diego art museums. Bringing
together the best works from the
american art collections of the
museum of Contemporary art San
Diego, the San Diego museum of art
and the timken museum of art, this
publication and its accompanying
exhibition takes a dynamic look at
three centuries of visual art created
in the United States. Behold, America!
(a title borrowed from Walt Whitman’s
Leaves of Grass) conveys how artists
have addressed colonialism, environmentalism
and racial inequality
over the years, and evokes the
natural landscape of the United States,
imperialism and some of the more
infamous aspects of american culture.
Whether emerging from colonialism
or civil war, visual artists working
in the U.S. have contributed to a
national identity that continues to
be renegotiated to this day.

Fast Forward:
Modern Moments,
1913–2013
The MuseuM of Modern ArT,
new York
edited by Jodi hauptman. Text by
Jodi hauptman, samantha friedman,
Michael rooks.
published in conjunction with an
exhibition of masterworks from the
museum of modern art at the High
museum, atlanta, this catalogue
features artwork produced during
six key years between 1913 and 2013.
Concentrating on groundbreaking moments
when major modern movements
and radical new strategies emerged,
the book provides an overview of the
innovations and achievements of the
last century, including the new visual
languages of Cubism and Futurism
(1913), the convergence of Surrealism
and new vision photography between
the wars (1929), the large-scale abstract
painting of midcentury (1950), the
merging of art and life in the early
1960s (1961) and the embrace of
identity politics and appropriation by
artists in the late 1980s (1988). a series
of new commissions by three contemporary
artists represents the art of the
present moment. each of the six richly
illustrated sections features a close
reading of one major work from the
period, complemented by an exploration
of that year’s aesthetic zeitgeist.

The William S.

A Taste for Modernism
The MuseuM of Modern ArT,
new York
Text by william rubin, Matthew
Armstrong.
William S. paley, founder of CBS, Inc.,
and a towering figure in the modern
entertainment, communication and
news industries, was also an enthusiastic
collector of twentieth-century art
and a committed supporter of the museum
of modern art. this volume presents
his extraordinary collection of 84
paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings
by some of the most important figures
of modern art, including paul
Cézanne, andré Derain, paul gauguin,
Henri matisse and pablo picasso, bequeathed
to the museum in one of the
most significant transfers of a private
collection to a public institution at the
time. aside from loans made to moma
exhibitions, his collection was seldom
seen by the public until it was left to
the William S. paley Foundation for donation
to the museum. originally published
in 1992 for a series of traveling
exhibitions organized by moma, this
volume has been completely redesigned
for this new edition.

Text by Jane Portal, suhyung kim.
Arts of Korea celebrates historical Korean art through 100 works from the collection of the museum of Fine arts, Boston.
the mFa has one of the finest collections of Korean art outside of east asia, with particularly superb holdings of high-quality
stoneware and lacquerware of the Koryo and Yi dynasties, Bronze age funerary objects and Buddhist paintings and sculptures.
many of the objects in this book were originally intended for everyday use and tell a story not only about the people who
used or collected these boxes, mirrors, jars, tiles and trays, but also about the people who made them. Set to coincide with
the mFa’s long-awaited Korean gallery renovation, this is an affordable yet unique addition to any asian art library, with
essays that offer an ideal introduction to the history of Korean art.

Text by Monica Maffioli.
In July 1863, the photographer Felice Beato
arrived at the port city of Yokohama in Japan.
He was only 31 years old, but had already established
himself as a pioneering figure in
the then-nascent field of photography as the
first ever war correspondent, and as one of
the earliest chroniclers of east asia, having
already documented the Indian rebellion of
1857 and the Second opium War in China. If
these latter works had seemed to celebrate
imperial power, Beato’s Japan photographs
marked a venture into another realm entirely.
Beato’s portraits of geishas in magnificent kimonos,
samurai, sumo wrestlers, and scenes
of everyday life and landscapes portrayed the
country and its people entirely without condescension.
the dignity and grace of his photographic
style, as well as his hand-tinting of
his images, made an enormous impact on
edo-era Japanese photographers, who found
analogies to traditional Japanese woodblock
prints in the composition of his images, and
Beato established a whole school and style at
the close of the nineteenth century. this marvelous
and magnificently oversize volume
presents an overview of this style, known as
the Yokohama school, with beautifully reproduced
images by Beato and many others.
Japanese Dream also records the last embers
of a waning culture just prior to modernity.
