Combining deep focus with a multifaceted approach to reveal formal,
technical, and spiritual aspects of the olive tree motif that
dominated the painter's production during his time in a Provencal
asylum Van Gogh and the Olive Groves reunites for the first time
the important series of paintings that Vincent van Gogh (1853-90)
dedicated to the motif of olive trees during his stay at the asylum
of Saint-Remy-de-Provence. The book contextualizes this work within
Van Gogh's artistic production and explores its deeply personal,
often religious resonance. It also features in-depth findings on
the artist's technique, materials, and palette resulting from a
three-year cross-disciplinary conservation science research project
that rigorously examined all 15 paintings. Of particular interest
are new discoveries concerning Van Gogh's use of unstable pigments,
his application of paint en plein air versus in the studio, and the
chronology of the series. Produced between June and December 1889,
this bold and highly experimental series employs the motif as a
constant in the artist's passionate investigation of the expressive
powers of color, line, and subject. Painting the olive trees at
different times of day and in different seasons was a quest to
unlock their quintessential features, which to him represented the
spirit of Provence. Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art

Restoring a "perfect painter" to the Cubist canon Juan Gris
(1887-1927) was central to the development of Cubism in the early
20th century. Though the writer and art collector Gertrude Stein
considered him a "perfect painter," Gris's pivotal role within the
movement has often been overshadowed. Cubism in Color: The Still
Lifes of Juan Gris reveals the virtuosic range of the artist's
short yet prolific career, illuminating his boundary-pushing
contributions to Cubism. As a thorough examination of Gris's still
lifes, Cubism in Color provides an important reassessment of this
underappreciated artist, reestablishing his position as a modernist
master. This fully illustrated volume traces the evolution of
Gris's aesthetic and approach to still life through a selection of
key works. It includes original essays by leading scholars in the
field, offering new insights on Gris's elusive artistic process,
the history of collecting his work in the United States and his
native Spain, and his artistic legacy within modern and
contemporary Latin American art. Distributed for the Dallas Museum

That churches are one of the most important cornerstones of black
political organization is a commonplace. In this history of African
American Protestantism and American politics at the end of the
Civil War, Nicole Myers Turner challenges the idea of black
churches as having always been politically engaged. Using local
archives, church and convention minutes, and innovative Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) mapping, Turner reveals how freedpeople
in Virginia adapted strategies for pursuing the freedom of their
souls to worship as they saw fit--and to participate in society
completely in the evolving landscape of emancipation. Freedpeople,
for both evangelical and electoral reasons, were well aware of the
significance of the physical territory they occupied, and they
sought to organize the geographies that they could in favor of
their religious and political agendas at the outset of
Reconstruction. As emancipation included opportunities to purchase
properties, establish black families, and reconfigure gender roles,
the ministry became predominantly male, a development that affected
not only discourses around family life but also the political
project of crafting, defining, and teaching freedom. After freedmen
obtained the right to vote, an array of black-controlled
institutions increasingly became centers for political organizing
on the basis of networks that mirrored those established earlier by
church associations. We are proud to announce that this book will
also be published as an enhanced open-access e-book on a companion
website hosted by Fulcrum, an innovative publishing platform
launched by Michigan Publishing at the University of Michigan
Library. The Fulcrum version of the book can be located using this

A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of Renoir's extraordinary
depictions of the nude and their important artistic legacy Best
known as part of the influential vanguard of Impressionist artists
that experimented with new painting techniques in the late 19th
century, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was deeply inspired by
classical traditions and returned again and again to the canonical
subject of the nude. Tracing the entire arc of Renoir's career,
this volume examines the different approaches the artist employed
in his various depictions of the subject-from his works that
respond to Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Paul
Cezanne, to his late, and still controversial, depictions of
bathers that inspired the next generation of artists. Eminent
scholars not only look at the different ways that Renoir used the
nude as a means of personal expression but also analyze Renoir's
art in terms of a modern feminist critique of the male gaze.
Offering the first-ever comprehensive investigation of Renoir's
nudes, this beautifully illustrated study includes approximately 50
works, including paintings, pastels, drawings, and sculptures. The
book also features an interview with the contemporary figurative
painter Lisa Yuskavage that considers Renoir's continuing influence
and the historical significance of the female nude in art.
