"This comprehensive and richly illustrated volume is the first-ever history of British medieval illuminators' pigments. It rests on first-hand investigation, with optimal scientific techniques, of a wide selection of manuscripts, ranging in date from the seventh century to the fifteenth. It provides an authoritative, engaging and accessible guide to this understudied field, for historians, art historians, librarians, conservators, heritage scientists, and anyone interested in the art, culture and techniques of book illumination."-- Provided by publisher.

"A lavishly illustrated exploration of recent paintings by Heinz Mack. Non-conformist and daring, German artist Heinz Mack recently turned his attention back to the canvas, after a break of more than twenty years. In the new works reproduced in this volume, Mack translates light, movement, and immateriality into the glowing worlds of the colors of the chromatic spectrum. Through the exploration of the juxtaposition of colors and visible brushstrokes in the genre of the monumental panel picture, he opens up a view of the infinite, the boundless, and the immaterial. Along with stunning full-color reproductions of Mack's work, the book includes conversations and letters in which he explains his ideas and sources of inspiration.'-- https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/M/bo208669346.html

"For some, the powerful work of the pioneering Black painter and photographer Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) may come as a revelation, but for so many other it has been a guiding light. As Thelma Golden writes in the foreword, "His paintings are astute, slick, and lush--effortlessly cool." A great admirer of the Old Masters, Hendricks is probably best known for his bold paintings of Black friends, relatives, strangers, and himself. This stunning book accompanies an exhibition of some of his finest portraits at The Frick Collection, one of the artist's favorite museums. The broad-reaching influence Hendricks has had on generations of Black artists and the deep connection between his work and that of European Old Masters are among the rich topics explored by the distinguished contributors."--back cover.

Helen Frankenthaler: Drawing within Nature documents an exhibition of Frankenthaler s sumptuous paintings from the early to mid-1990s, many shown in New York for the first time. This catalog documents an exhibition that focuses on Helen Frankenthaler s paintings on canvas of the early 1990s, along with three large-scale paintings on paper from 1995. In this period, Frankenthaler experimented with new mediums and techniques, resulting in thickly impastoed surfaces that recalibrate our understanding of her practice. A new essay by Thomas Crow examines these paintings in the context of the varied environments in which Frankenthaler lived and worked, from the warm-toned terrain of Santa Fe, New Mexico, to her seaside home and studio in Stamford, Connecticut. Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. A member of the second generation of postwar American abstract painters, she is widely credited with expanding the possibilities of abstraction through her invention of the soak-stain technique, while at times referencing figuration and landscape in highly personal ways.
