THE POWER OF ART is an epic work of non-fiction that will transform
our understanding of the world by unlocking the human stories
behind millennia of art. Taking readers from ancient Babylon to
contemporary Pyongyang, the eminent curator Caroline Campbell
explains art's power to illuminate our lives, and inspires us to
benefit from its transformative and regenerative power. Unlike the
majority of art history, this book is about much more than the cult
of personality. Instead, each chapter is structured around a city
at a particularly vibrant moment in its history, describing what
propelled its creativity and innovation. The emotions and societies
she evokes are recognisable today, showing how great art resonates
powerfully by transcending the boundaries of time.

In the inter war era, the rise of the largest political movement in
modern French history, the powerful Croix de Feu (1927- 1936), and
its successor, the Parti Social FranAais, or PSF (1936- 1945), led
to a sharp rightward turn in France's political culture. Political
Belief in France, 1927- 1945 traces the central role of women in
this shift, arguing that they transformed the Croix de Feu/PSF from
a paramilitary league for veterans into a social reform movement
that sought to remake the politics, society, and culture of the
French Republic. Following the creation of a Women's Section in
1934, the women of the Croix de Feu/PSF developed a wide array of
social programs, including welfare services, youth development, and
health-care initiatives. At a time of economic depression and high
unemployment, these popular programs tempered the organization's
fearsome reputation as a violent paramilitary group. While the
efforts of the Women's Section had the veneer of moderation, they
accentuated the long-standing conservative image of France as a
deeply Christian society and sought to assimilate people of
different ethnoreligious backgrounds into the dominant national
community. Croix de Feu/PSF women promoted their socialagenda as a
religious and patriotic duty, a reflection of the individual's
responsibility to make personal sacrifices on behalf of their
vision for France's Christian civilization. The Croix de Feu/PSF's
ethnoreligious nationalism circulated throughout the French
imperial nation-state, making the movement the premier defender of
an empire at the height of its power. But women in North African
branches faced substantial marginalization, and the movement
remained dangerously sectarian in the Maghreb, driving indigenous
activists from reformism to anticolonialism. The Croix de Feu/PSF
thus set the stage for both the authoritarian, anti-Semitic Vichy
regime and the decolonization that followed the war. The first book
on women of the French far right in the age of fascism, Political
Belief in France, 1927- 1945 contributes to the fields of French
history, gender studies, the history of fascism, and the history of
empire.

An innovative study of the relationship between Andrea Mantegna and
Giovanni Bellini, two masters of the Italian Renaissance Andrea
Mantegna (c. 1431-1506) and Giovanni Bellini (active c. 1459; died
1516) each produced groundbreaking paintings, marked by pictorial
and technical innovations, that are among the masterpieces of the
Italian Renaissance. Exploring the fruitful dynamic between
Mantegna's inventive compositional approach and interest in
classical antiquity and Bellini's passion for landscape painting,
this fascinating volume examines how these two artists, who were
also brothers-in-law, influenced and responded to each other's
work. Full of new insights and captivating juxtapositions-including
comparisons of each of the artist's depictions of the Agony in the
Garden and the Presentation to the Temple-this study reveals that
neither Mantegna's nor Bellini's achievements can be fully
understood in isolation and that their continuous creative
exchanges shaped the work of both. Published by National Gallery
