class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Like the <em>New Yorker</em> cartoons of its subjects, <strong>At Wit’s End: Cartoonists of the <em>New Yorker</em></strong> is perfectly positioned at the intersection of funny and smart. This bible of modern cartooning comes in honor of the <em>New Yorker</em>’s 100th birthday, and features profiles by longtime contributor Michael Maslin, portraits by photographer Alen MacWeeney and, of course, a selection of single-panel cartoons from the 50-plus artists profiled. There have been cartoons in the <em>New Yorker</em> since it was founded, back when it was billed as a “comic weekly” in 1925, and so it’s unsurprising that the cartoons are the book’s strongest elements. A few are downright hilarious: In a Jason Adam Katzenstein drawing, a man says, “Let me interrupt your expertise with my confidence” to a woman across the table. Another highlight is Maslin’s own cartoon cowboy calling to his horse, who is perched in the branches of a tree, to “giddydown.” The photograph on the book’s cover shows Pulitzer-Prize winning cartoonist Barry Blitt, whose numerous <em>New Yorker</em> covers are legendary—the fist-bumping Obamas from 2008 is among the most memorable magazine covers of the 21st century. Blitt stands underneath a broken umbrella with a look of “What now?” annoyance that beautifully portrays MacWeeney’s skill at capturing humor in still images. This book is recommended for fans of the <em>New Yorker</em>, of course, but also fans of comedy and cartoons, and anyone interested in the ways that media evolves over time.</p> </div> </div> <div

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>If you read only one photo book in your lifetime, let it be <strong>Magnum America: The United States</strong>. An epic collection of images from the prestigious photography cooperative Magnum Photos, <strong>Magnum America</strong> combines more than 600 captivating images from its collection into 472 pages, and each of them is a hit. The weighty tome is organized by decades, and flipping through any given section is like watching history pass before your eyes. The 1940s includes iconic portraits of figures like Albert Einstein and Salvador Dali, important photojournalism like W. Eugene Smith’s shot of President Truman holding up a newspaper emblazoned with the headline “Dewey Defeats Truman,” and a one-two punch of powerful works by Henri Cartier-Bresson: a threesome of young people on a Coney Island beach followed by a hanging dummy advertising used cars in Jackson, Mississippi. It’s the juxtaposition of the images that gives the book its most powerful resonance. Disturbing war photography is followed by documents of family get-togethers and athletes in moments of victory. Special sections devoted to particularly noteworthy collections, like Susan Meiselas’ 1970s Carnival Strippers portraits and Jim Goldberg’s mid-’90s study of runaway teens, <em>Raised by Wolves</em>, provide crash courses in essential works. There are also sections dedicated to multiple photographers working on the same subject, like the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and the 9/11 attacks. There is no better introduction to American postwar history than the photographs included in this book. What’s more is that there may be no better introduction to the history of photography, either.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Stephen Ellcock has been described as an “image alchemist,” which is a term that may sound vague or even nonsensical until you thumb through his tightly focused treasuries of esoteric imagery. Then, the term makes perfect sense. Following <a href="https://www.bookpage.com/reviews/cosmic-dance-stephen-ellcock-book-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Cosmic Dance</em></a> and <a href="https://www.bookpage.com/reviews/underworlds-stephen-ellcock-book-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Underworlds</em></a><em>,</em> <strong>Elements: Chaos, Order and the Five Elemental Forces</strong> is the third title in Ellcock’s trilogy of books that explore the natural world. Using the ancient Greek categorization of the five natural elements—air, fire, earth, water and celestial aether—as a springboard, Ellcock has compiled a cabinet of curiosities out of images from across the globe, from ancient to contemporary times. It’s a vast assortment that maintains a singular vision: that elemental forces are the cornerstone of all existence. As Ellcock writes in the book’s introduction, “the five classical elements remain universal symbols, omnipresent archetypes embedded deep within the collective unconscious and the popular imagination.” A photograph of the sea by artist Wolfgang Tillmans makes a new kind of sense when viewed in proximity to Eugene Delacroix’s 1853 painting <em>Christ Asleep During the Tempest</em>. Illustrations from a 17th-century Japanese fireworks catalog take on a different meaning when paired with an 18th-century Indian painting of women lighting fireworks during Diwali, and offer another kind of insight when positioned next to an 1887 photograph of a building on fire. <strong>Elements</strong> truly is visual alchemy, and will be a treat for anyone who is interested in the intersection of art, science, religion and culture.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f"

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>If you’ve ever been curious about how an idea turns into a piece of art, you’ll love <strong>The Work of Art: How Something Comes From Nothing</strong>. This visionary book’s first two pages lay out its thesis in surprisingly simple terms. First, there’s a sketch that looks like little more than a physician’s signature at the bottom of a prescription pad. Turn the page and you’ll see what that doodle became: the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. But how exactly did Frank Gehry’s messy sketch become the architectural masterpiece? That’s the process writer Adam Moss is concerned with; the “work” in his book’s title is a verb. Moss has been the editor of <em>New York</em> magazine and the <em>New York Times Magazine</em>, and his love for conversational, witty storytelling is clear here. <strong>The Work of Art</strong> collects conversations with some of the most lauded, interesting artists working—from Kara Walker, who takes readers through the creation of her 2014 public sculpture “A Subtlety,” to Gay Talese, who pores over the copious notes he took to write “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold” in 1966. No minutia is too small to examine. In fact, it seems like the smaller the detail, the more information Moss is able to extract. Alongside each story, Moss includes images of the works in various stages of completion. You see Twyla Tharp’s massive choreographic sketches, and the first stages of a Will Shortz crossword. The images elevate the book to a compendium of precious ephemera. It’s possible that Moss has invented a new literary genre that merges self-help, art history and journalism. However it’s classified, you’ll read it cover to cover.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f"

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Edouard Manet’s <em>Le Déjeuner Sur L’Herbe</em>, or <em>Luncheon on the Grass</em>, is often called the first modern painting, and the paintings compiled in <strong>Luncheons on the Grass: Reimagining Manet’s Le Déjeuner Sur L’Herbe</strong> are like a time machine connecting modern and contemporary art. The 1863 painting, which is in the collection of Musée d’Orsay in Paris, shows a nude woman sitting with two clothed gentlemen in a wooded glade. In the foreground is an overturned picnic basket. In the background, another woman bathes in a stream. In 2021, art dealer and gallerist Jeffrey Deitch asked around 30 leading contemporary artists to respond to Manet’s masterpiece, and the resulting works—as well as several pieces that weren’t commissioned specifically for the show but refer to <em>Le Déjeuner Sur L’Herbe</em>—are collected in this volume. Deitch’s own essay about Manet’s painting includes insight into its history, from its nude model Victorine Meurent to the inspiration the artist drew from Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Diego Velázquez. The inclusion of interviews with artists about their works and Manet’s influence is particularly illuminating. In an interview with Nina Chanel Abney, for example, the artist says, “I pulled from Manet’s beautiful landscapes, scenes, and epic compositions to make a painting that centers Black queer people, creating a new narrative in which I feel seen.” Some artists did away with Manet’s references almost entirely, focusing instead on more obscure ones. It’s here that the interviews become particularly insightful, as in one with artist Ariana Papademetropoulos: She explains that by focusing on the bather in the background of Manet’s painting, she’s able to think about what it means to have a picnic and bring domesticity to the natural world. Some other pieces discussed include work made prior to the project, most famously Robert Colescott’s 1979 painting of the same name, but also a 1965 photograph of a family of nudists by Diane Arbus, which takes on new life here.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f" data-element_type="widget"

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>“Two antique dealers discover a stash of 340 photographs at a flea market.” Thus begins <strong>Casa Susanna: The Story of the First Trans Network in the United States, 1959-1968</strong>, one of the most captivating photography books in recent memory. Casa Susanna was a secluded bit of property with a few bungalows and a barn in the Catskills. In the 1950s and ’60s, the property belonged to Marie Tornell and her wife, a trans woman who was known to friends as Susanna Valenti. Susanna was a cover girl and contributing editor to <em>Transvestia</em> magazine, and she and Marie opened up their home to other like-minded people—including those who were assigned male at birth but wanted to live authentically as women, if only on holiday. A textured dust jacket gives the volume a sensual quality, so that opening its pages is like admiring a silk taffeta blouse. The photograph chosen for the book’s cover—one among hundreds of candid, unaffected shots—shows four different smartly dressed women pointing their cameras at a friend mid-pose. It speaks to the number of women involved in the project, and also the importance they saw of documenting each other. Elsewhere, the well-coiffed women playing Scrabble or sitting around a dining table at Casa Susanna are charmingly ordinary. Facsimiles of letters, magazine articles and even a handful of Susanna’s own advice column clips, “Susanna Says,” open up a whole world in a few hundred pages. The sheer volume of pictures included will open eyes to the existence of trans people before the contemporary age.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Ostensibly organized around the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in 2019, <strong>About Face: Stonewall, Revolt, and New Queer Art</strong> was an art exhibition before it became a book. Its curator, Jonathan D. Katz, is arguably the leading scholar on queer art history, and here he proves that he’s also an adept editor. <strong>About Face</strong> catalogs 350 artworks from a diverse array of artists from the past 50 years: portraits by Peter Hujar, largely recognized as one of the leading photographers of the 20th century, are positioned alongside work by Zanele Muholi, the South African photographer and activist whose art-world rise was comparatively recent. The essays in this volume skew academic, which provides a grandiosity to its subject matter. Katz cautions readers that to divide art along a line of queer and not-queer is to ignore not only nuance but the thousands of years of art history that existed before such classifications were foregrounded. Katz suggests we remove the binary and “return to a more expansive sense of sexuality.” The scholarship is deep and rewards multiple slow readings, while the artworks are sumptuous, thrilling and demand immediate appreciation. <strong>About Face</strong> is highly recommended for students of art history and queer studies, but also for anyone interested in how language transforms alongside identity.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="shortcode.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-shortcode">Jonathan D.

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Amy Sall’s <strong>The African Gaze: Photography, Cinema and Power</strong> began as a university course Sall developed at New York City’s The New School. An undercurrent of academic rigor flows throughout the volume, which functions as an introduction to African photography and film as well as a collective biography of some of its most influential players. In her preface, writer and archivist Sall distills her thoughts on the subjects she spent so many years studying, and each sentence is packed with authoritative insight. The photography section begins with self-portraits by Ghanaian Felicia Abban, who also happens to be one of the few “named and known” women photographers in Africa. Many of the book’s other highlights involve female subjects: a striking studio portrait of three women by Augustt Azaglo Cornélius Yawo; a candid shot of four young women seated around a table at a party by Jean Depara; and a woman posing seated with a single high-heeled sandal that’s been placed atop her oversized skirt by Seydou Keita. Cinema is more difficult to capture in still images, and so the Filmmakers section relies on the breadth of its subjects, which includes artists working in documentary and animation in addition to scripted dramas. Particularly evocative are images of the two protagonists of Djibril Diop Mambéty’s <em>Touki Bouki</em>, or the stunning close-up of the main character in Ousmane Sembene’s <em>Black Girl</em>. <strong>The African Gaze</strong> is an essential, encyclopedic study of African image-makers, and reading through it in its entirety made me feel like I’d actually enrolled in Sall’s course.</p>

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>In her introduction to <strong>Great Women Sculptors</strong>, curator and scholar Lisa Le Feuvre doesn’t use the term “woman” until well into the essay. Even then, it is included only to highlight a historical lack of institutional support, rather than anything inherently female about a particular artwork, subject matter or medium. Instead, the sole commonality of the artists collected in <strong>Great Women Sculptors</strong> is that they made art while being marginalized by structural misogyny. “Rather than expanding the canon, this book is an index that ruptures the received account of sculpture,” Le Feuvre explains. That distinction is important, because even as <strong>Great Women Sculptors</strong> brings together more than 300 artists throughout 500 years of art history, women artists are still marginalized; the patriarchy didn’t just shrivel up, much as we’d wanted it to, after Linda Nochlin published the seminal essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” in 1971. This encyclopedic volume includes entries on established artists like Eva Hesse and Louise Bourgeois alongside a younger generation of stars like Lauren Halsey. Even the most well-read art scholars will find something new—or old, as in Baroque-era Spanish sculptor Luisa Roldán. The breadth of the book’s coverage is tempered by its focus on a single work per artist, an image of which is printed beautifully on heavy-duty paper and fully contextualized by a slate of 46 art experts. </p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f" data-element_type="widget"

class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>British author and critic Hettie Judah’s <strong>Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood </strong>is an essential art history. With 150 color illustrations and a scope that encompasses prehistory to the present moment, this exceptional book reframes motherhood as an important position from which to make and understand art. Judah’s tight prose moves gracefully from poetic to intense to straightforward. From her first sentence, this gifted writer tackles her subject with intellectual and artistic vigor: “A monstrous child is blocking my view and has carved a nest in the soft darkness of my head,” she writes in the book’s introduction. It’s inspiring to read along as she tackles the long overlooked cultural figure of the artist-mother with gravitas. A chapter titled “Creation” investigates the analogy of creativity and childbearing, noting the irony of the artist-mother’s place throughout the ages: “For much of art’s history, this literal process of baby-making and nurture invalidated a woman’s status as an artist.” Contemporary art enthusiasts will be especially taken with <strong>Acts of Creation</strong>, which includes insight into heavyweights like Judy Chicago, Louise Bourgeois, Carrie Mae Weems and more. But like any good curator, Judah has filled these pages with more obscure and under-the-radar artists, so there’s plenty to discover no matter your familiarity with art, feminism or motherhood. In a chapter called “Mothering,” Judah, with a hat-tip to the writer and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs, speaks to “the radical potential of mother<em>ing</em> as a form of expanded care,” regardless of gender or social privilege.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f" data-element_type="widget"

<strong>Force of Nature: A Celebration of Girls and Women Raising Their Voices</strong> and not feel moved. The triumphant (and so affordably priced!) book from <em>Strong Is the New Pretty</em> creator Kate T. Parker overflows with photographs of girls and women speaking and living their truths, cultivating their voices and using them to effect change, whether in one-on-one friendships, school settings, the corporate world or broader social contexts. An 8-year-old in fairy wings uses her voice “to be silly and make [people] laugh to try to cheer them up”; a 49-year-old heart attack survivor raises awareness about a type of heart disease common in women under 40. Athletes, activists, advocates and those who have overcome terrific obstacles are well accounted for in the compelling profiles. But equally arresting are the images, both in color and black-and-white, of ordinary girls and women. I can almost hear Tina Turner singing, “We don’t need another hero.” What we do need are girls and women who wholeheartedly believe in their own worth and power, however they decide to be in the world. </p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode" data-id="001fe5f" data-element_type="widget"

realms, and some of us seek to capture those impossible dreams upon a physical canvas. In <strong>The Art of Fantasy: A Visual Sourcebook of All That is Unreal</strong>, Florida-based writer and blogger S. Elizabeth explores the “sweeping though loosely defined art genre” of fantastic art and its “visual flights of fancy and imagination.” Through full-color reproductions of artwork across a variety of mediums—physical and digital—<strong>The Art of Fantasy</strong> investigates how artists capture their personal ideas of fantasy, which are just as often grounded in unfamiliar visions as recognizable lore. S. Elizabeth’s curation spans not only the well-known classics such as Hieronymus Bosch and Salvador Dali, but also fresh, contemporary artists such as Yuko Shimizu or Paul Lewin.</p> <p>Readers will be entranced by colorful assortments of peculiar figures: Ed Binkley’s colored pencil “Corvid Priestess” gazes out regally, while an anthropomorphic rabbit wears traveling clothes in Carisa Swenson’s epoxy clay sculpture “Shining Apples.” S. Elizabeth’s exploration of fantasy landscapes in the book’s last section is particularly compelling and stylistically diverse. Foreboding alien invasions, apocalyptic castles and whimsical aircraft remind us just how unlimited our imaginations can be.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-001fe5f
