Discover how painters such as Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Jacoba van
Heemskerck drew on the legacy of Dutch landscapes and realism to
put their own spin on the Impressionist movement. Impressionism may
have originated in France, but artists in late 19th- and early
20th-century Netherlands quickly made it their own. The genre’s
vibrant colors and focus on light and atmosphere were a perfect
complement to the country’s groundbreaking traditions of
landscape painting and realism. This exhibition catalog brings more
than a hundred works by nearly forty artists including Johan
Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and
Piet Mondrian. It traces the birth of the Hague School, whose
practitioners captured the changing moods of light in the
coastline’s vast, grey skies. And it explores the Amsterdam
Impressionists, whose cityscapes offered realistic images of modern
life. Alongside vibrant reproductions of masterworks, a series of
lively essays explore a diverse array of topics, including Dutch
landscape painting within an international context; Dutch artist
settlements and communities; and iconography in Dutch
impressionism.

Capturing fleeting natural impressions played a central role in the
art of Claude Monet. He deeply engaged with the landscape and light
of different places, from the metropolis of Paris to the Seine
villages of Argenteuil and Giverny. This lavishly illustrated new
paperback edition explores the development of Monet's art from the
1850s to the 1920s, focusing on the places, both at home and on his
frequent travel, from which he drew inspiration for his painting.
In addition, the book traces the critical shift in Monet's art that
occurred when he began to focus on series of the same subjects such
as haystacks, poplars, and the water lilies and pond at his
meticulously designed garden in Giverny. Insightful and revealing,
the book deepens our appreciation of Monet's art and allows us to
experience anew his gift for bringing the natural world to life.
From his first compositions to the colorful flower images of his
late years, Vincent van Gogh repeatedly painted still lifes. In
this genre, he could try out various pictorial techniques - from
depicting space through light and shadow to experimentation with
color. Although many of his still life compositions employed
traditional approaches to the genre, he ultimately formulated an
unmistakably unique artistic style. This lavishly illustrated book
revisits the development of Van Gogh's career and focuses on his
still-life paintings, offering new insights into the working
process and creative evolution of one of the most radical
innovators in the history of modern art.
For as long as humans have been making art, they have turned to the
sun as the source of light, warmth and life itself. It appears as a
symbol of limitless power, as the personification of gods and of
Christ, and as a harbinger of change. Artists have also used the
sun as a means of exploring light and color and as an entrée into
discussions about climate. The first of its kind, this catalog
investigates visual representations of the sun from antiquity to
the present day. It is divided into seven roughly chronological
sections that look at both epoch-spanning and period specific
examples, including symbolic, allegorical representations, the
iconography of mythological subjects, and mimetic qualities such as
typology, phenomenology, and emotional effect. It includes more
than two hundred stunning reproductions of well- and lesser-known
works. Incisive and enlightening texts explore how solar symbolism
figured in pre-Christian objects through 17th-century depictions of
the “Sun King” Louix XIV; how artists such as Rubens and Monet
employed the sun in their narrative paintings; how the
Impressionists first investigated the sun’s effects on a
landscape; how Neo-Impressionist such as Seurat experimented with
color based on the Newtonian analysis of the solar spectrum; and
how 20th-century artists incorporated a broad array of abstract,
surrealistic, and transformative modes of solar representation into
a variety of media.
Behind the Mask: Artists in the GDR focuses on the wide variety of
artistic self-staging in the GDR, between public and private,
prescribed collectivism and creative individuality. The intention
of the GDR's official state art was to exert political influence
and this resulted in ideological entanglements that have been
examined in numerous publications and exhibitions in recent years.
Yet how did artists in the GDR critically scrutinize themselves and
their own art when their prescribed role was to represent the
interests of the state? The pertinent essays and outstanding
reproductions in this volume draw a comprehensive picture of art in
the GDR from a new and knowledge-enhancing perspective.
This book explores the localisation of modernity in late colonial
India. As a case study, it focuses on the hitherto untold colonial
history of Khalsa College, Amritsar, a pioneering and highly
influential educational institution founded in the British Indian
province of Punjab in 1892 by the religious minority community of
the Sikhs. Addressing topics such as politics, religion, rural
development, militarism or physical education, the study shows how
Sikh educationalists and activists made use of and 'localised'
communal, imperial, national and transnational discourses and
knowledge. Their modernist visions and schemes transcended both
imperialist and mainstream nationalist frameworks and networks. In
its quest to educate the modern Sikh - scientific, practical,
disciplined and physically fit - the college navigated between very
local and global claims, opportunities and contingencies, mirroring
modernity's ambivalent simultaneity of universalism and
particularism.
Following World War II, Western painting went in completely new
directions. A young generation of artists turned their backs on the
dominant styles of the interwar period: Instead of figurative
representation or geometric abstraction, painters in the orbit of
Abstract Expressionism in the US and Art Informel in Western Europe
pursued a radically impulsive approach to form, color, and
material. As an expression of individual freedom, the spontaneous
artistic gesture gained symbolic significance. Large-scale
color-field compositions created a meditative space for ruminating
the fundamental questions of human existence. The exhibition and
catalogue examine the two sister movements against the background
of a vibrant transatlantic exchange, from the 1940s through to the
end of the Cold War. This lavishly illustrated volume brings
together works by more than 50 artists, amongst them Alberto Burri,
Jean Dubuffet, Helen Frankenthaler, K. O. Goetz, Franz Kline, Lee
Krasner, Georges Mathieu, Joan Mitchell, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Barnett
Newman, Jackson Pollock, Judit Reigl, Mark Rothko, Hedda Sterne,
Clyfford Still, and Jack Tworkov.
In the 19th century, numerous photographers chose the same motifs
as Impressionist painters: the forest of Fontainebleau, the cliffs
of Etretat or the modern metropolis of Paris. They, too, studied
the changing light, seasons and weather conditions. From its
inception, photographers pursued artistic ambitions, as evidenced
by their experimentation with composition and perspective, by means
of various technical procedures. Until the First World War, the
relationship between photography and painting was characterized
both by competition and mutual influence. The exhibition and
catalogue examine these interactions and illuminate the development
of the new medium from the 1850s to its establishment as an
autonomous art form around 1900. With contributions by: Dominique
De Font-Reaulx, Monika Faber, Matthias Kruger, Ulrich Pohlmann,
Esther Ruelfs, Helene Von Saldern, Bernd Stiegler, and Daniel
Zamani.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.

Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
