British artist Euan Uglow (1932-2000) maintained a lower profile
than others of his generation, yet his beautiful, intelligent,
humane, and often witty landscapes, still lifes, and figure studies
are today gaining the recognition they so clearly deserve. Many
critics and admirers now consider Uglow one of Britain's greatest
post-war artists. This is the first book devoted to Uglow and his
oeuvre. Richard Kendall's essay explores Uglow's fundamental
attitudes, beliefs, and processes in the years 1950 to 1970, and
Catherine Lampert looks at the content and personal nature of the
artist's paintings over a lifetime, emphasizing his growing
attention to color and light. The volume reproduces every known oil
painting by Uglow-a total of more than 400 works--some 80 of which
are here reproduced for the first time. In addition to a
chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history for each work, the
catalogue entries provide many other details and illuminating
notes, including the artist's own observations. Exhibition

A revelatory study of the importance of nature in Van Gogh's art
throughout his life in Holland and France The celebrated painter
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) had a lifelong fascination with the
natural world. He spent his youth in rural Holland, and the
country's flat landscapes, trees, flowers, and birds would feature
in his early art. After he moved to Paris, he encountered new
radical thinking about art and humanity's changing relationship
with nature. Later, in Provence and Auvers, he discovered
unfamiliar terrain, flora, and fauna that further influenced his
artistic ideas and subject matter. Van Gogh's images of such
diverse environments reflect not only his immediate surroundings
but also the artist's evolving engagement with nature and art. Van
Gogh and Nature is an eye-opening and beautifully produced
catalogue, which accompanied the best-attended special exhibition
in the Clark Art Institute's history. It chronicles the artist's
ongoing relationship with nature throughout his entire career.
Among the featured works are Van Gogh's drawings and paintings,
along with related materials that illuminate his reading, sources,
and influences. Vivid color photography and explanatory texts based
on new research by the authors clarify a central theme of Van
Gogh's oeuvre. Distributed for the Clark Art Institute Exhibition

Among the supreme masterpieces of 19th-century art are Edgar
Degas's dramatic, incisive, and often brilliantly colored pictures
of the ballet. Yet despite his enormous popularity as the foremost
artist of the dance -- with more than half his vast body of
paintings, pastels, drawings, and sculptures devoted to the on- and
off-stage activities of ballerinas -- this is the first book to
illuminate the theme in its historical context.
This authoritative volume presents much new material about Degas as
an artist and his relationship with the ballet of his day. Far more
knowledgeable about the training and technique of dancers than has
previously been realized, Degas is shown responding to numerous
ballet productions at the Paris Opira, to the shadowy life of the
wings, and to the daily routines of the classroom. Originally
published to accompany an acclaimed exhibition at the Detroit
Institute of Arts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this lavish,
richly illustrated volume should fascinate a wide audience of art-
and dance-lovers.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) is one of the best-known and most beloved
painters in the history of art, with myriad publications and
exhibitions devoted to his oeuvre. And yet there remains a
previously undiscovered aspect of his career: his surprisingly
significant role as a draftsman. This book is the first to focus on
Monet's pastels, drawings, and sketchbooks, offering a
revolutionary new interpretation of the artist's life and work.
Monet has long been seen as an anti-draftsman, an artist who
painted his subjects directly and whose rarely seen graphic works
were marginal to his artistic process. In an effort to develop his
public image, Monet denied the role of drawing in his working
method. In actuality, Monet began his career as a caricaturist and
as a teenager developed a passion for drawing that was never
extinguished. He went on to master the medium of pastel and
included seven in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874.
Citing recently discovered, unpublished documents that overturn the
accepted image of the artist, The Unknown Monet reveals an
extensive group of graphic works created over the course of the
artist's career, many of which are unknown to the general public
and to scholars: beautiful pastels, stunning black chalk drawings,
and fascinating sketchbooks, which include pencil studies that
relate to many of his paintings. The book also shows how Monet
exploited the print media to promote his art. The most important
publication on Monet to appear in a generation, this illuminating
volume is essential to anyone interested in his work,
Impressionism, and nineteenth-century French culture. Distributed

A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the
art world of 19th-century Paris In the second half of the 19th
century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women
artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums,
studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven
different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the
strength of these women's creative achievements, through paintings
by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe
Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie
Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilinska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker,
and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical
background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal
artistic education but cleverly navigated the city's network of
ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully
influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the
female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic
women artists, and the significant presence of women artists
throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the
long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later
19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who
not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum
toward a more egalitarian art world. Published in association with
the American Federation of Arts Exhibition Schedule: Denver Art

This book offers a new look at works by notable French artists
represented in the collection of the Sterling and Francine Clark
Art Institute. Color reproductions of fifty-eight works-ranging
from chalk drawings by Charles Francois Daubigny and Edgar Degas to
woodcuts by Paul Gauguin and lithographs by Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec-accompany important reconsiderations of well-known
works and print series. Essays by five prominent scholars consider
the political, social, cultural, and market conditions that
governed and motivated printmaking and drawing and examine how key
artists contributed to the development of the graphic arts in
19th-century France. The volume concludes with a complete checklist
of works included in the accompanying exhibition. Distributed for

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism at the Dallas Museum of Art
offers a series of intimate case studies in the history of
19th-century European art. Inspired by a series of public lectures
given at the Dallas Museum of Art between 2009 and 2013, the volume
comprises twelve beautifully illustrated essays from leading
academics and museum specialists. Opening with a new reading of one
of Gustave Courbet's great hunting scenes, The Fox in the Snow, and
ending with an exploration of a group of interior scenes by Edouard
Vuillard, each essay stands alone as a richly contextualized
reading of a single work or group of works by one artist. The
authors approach their subjects from a range of methodological
perspectives, but all pay close attention to the experience of
making and viewing works of art. Distributed for the Dallas Museum
of Art
