Celebrate the mojito! This book spotlights a favorite Caribbean
cocktail that has won a place in bars and eateries across the
globe. Food writer Heather McPherson details everything you need to
know to make mojito masterpieces, plus flavor-packed variations for
every occasion. The basic ingredients are simple--rum, lime, mint,
sugar, and club soda. McPherson gives readers the rundown on these
five key elements and explains how to make the classic Bacardi
mojito, ""the drink that started it all."" But she doesn't stop
there. She adds and swaps ingredients like seasonal fruits, herbs,
and different rums to show that this versatile beverage knows no
bounds. Recipes include a spicy mango mojito with jalapenos, an
exotic basil lychee mojito, a sweet and savory peach and rosemary
mojito, a moonshine lemonade mojito, and even a hot mojito tea. And
it's more than just a drink. The cocktail's refreshing flavors make
for sensational dinners and desserts, too. Readers will enjoy
recipes for mojito grilled shrimp salad; mojito marinated pork
tenderloin with roasted pineapple chutney; duck breast mojito
empanadas; and mojito strip steak with pico de gallo. The book
features mojito-inspired sweet treats such as ice pops, frozen
custard, cheesecake, cookies, ice box pie, and sugar-kissed
meringues. Transforming an irresistible drink in delightful ways,
McPherson combines step-by-step instructions with quick tips and
pro techniques. She invites readers to juice a lime, muddle some
mint, and have fun with these creative recipes at home.
This richly diverse study examines the evolving image and contested
status of the artist in late nineteenth-century France through the
lens of the artist’s studio, which became a central theme in art
and literature, stretching from Balzac to Proust and from Corot to
Picasso. The studio was a hybrid space that blurred the
distinctions between public and private, professional and domestic,
artistic production and display. Besides a material space for art
making, the studio was a social and commercial nexus and an
extension of the artist’s persona. Drawing on paintings, prints,
photographs, and primary sources ranging from memoirs to popular
journals, this book sheds new light on the modern studio’s
heightened significance as a laboratory of creative struggle and a
platform for self-expression and the staging of artistic identity.
It elucidates how the concept of the studio as a creative space
emblematic of artistic identity, first theorized in the
Renaissance, was reinvented and popularized after mid-century as
debates about the role of art and the status of the artist
intensified. Breaking new ground in focusing on the intersecting
issues of artistic identity and the evolving role of the studio as
creative arena, social and commercial locus, and informal
exhibition space, McPherson allows us to participate in the popular
ritual of visiting the artist’s studio.

A new appraisal of intriguing and meditative figural works by one
of the 19th century's great masters of landscape The women painted
by Camille Corot (1796-1875) read, dream, and gaze at the viewer,
conveying an independent spirit and a sense of their inner lives.
Corot's handling of color and his deft, delicate touch applied to
the female form resulted in pictures of quiet majesty. Although
these figural paintings constitute a relatively small and
little-known portion of his oeuvre, they were of great importance
for the founders of modernist painting, such as Paul Cezanne, Pablo
Picasso, and Georges Braque. This publication encompasses some
forty paintings by Corot-from the single-figure bust and
full-length images of the 1840s through the 1860s nudes and his
allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio. Essays by
leading experts in the field address Corot's debt to the old
masters and the impact of his pictures on both 19th- and
20th-century painting, the relationship of his figural work to his
more famous landscape practice, his response to the shifting social
position of artists' models, and the incursion of photography into
artistic practice in the Second Empire and early Third Republic.

In bringing biography and celebrity together, the essays in Making
Stars interrogate contemporary and current understandings of each.
Although biography was not invented in the eighteenth century, the
period saw the emergence of works that focus on individuals who are
interesting as much, if not more, for their everyday, lived
experience than for their status or actions. At the same time,
celebrity emerged as public fascination for the private lives of
publicly visible individuals. Biography and celebrity are mutually
constitutive, but in complex and varied ways that this volume
unpacks. Contributors to this volume present us a picture of
eighteenth-century celebrity that was mediated across multiple
sites, demonstrating that eighteenth-century celebrity
culture in Britain was more pervasive, diverse and, in many ways,
more egalitarian, than previously supposed.
In this volume, Heather McPherson examines the connections among
portraiture, theater, the visual arts, and fame to shed light on
the emergence of modern celebrity culture in eighteenth-century
England. Popular actors in Georgian London, such as David Garrick,
Sarah Siddons, and John Philip Kemble, gave larger-than-life
performances at Drury Lane and Covent Garden; their offstage
personalities garnered as much attention through portraits painted
by leading artists, sensational stories in the press, and
often-vicious caricatures. Likewise, artists such as Joshua
Reynolds and Thomas Lawrence figured prominently outside their
studios—in polite society and the emerging public sphere.
McPherson considers this increasing interest in theatrical and
artistic celebrities and explores the ways in which aesthetics,
cultural politics, and consumption combined during this period to
form a media-driven celebrity culture that is surprisingly similar
to celebrity obsessions in the world today. This richly researched
study draws on a wide variety of period sources, from newspaper
reviews and satirical pamphlets to caricatures and paintings by
Reynolds and Lawrence as well as Thomas Gainsborough, George
Romney, and Angelica Kauffman. These transport the reader to
eighteenth-century London and the dynamic venues where art and
celebrity converged with culture and commerce. Interweaving art
history, history of performance, and cultural studies, Art and
Celebrity in the Age of Reynolds and Siddons offers important
insights into the intersecting worlds of artist and actor, studio
and stage, high art and popular visual culture.
