American Women Artists, 1935-1970
Francesca Woodman's Dark Gaze
Gender, Culture, and Politics
The Diazotypes and Other Late Works
Edited by Helen Langa and Paula Wisotzki
Claire Raymond
Numerous American women artists built successful professional careers in the mid-twentieth century while confronting challenging cultural transitions: shifts in stylistic avant-gardism, harsh political transformations, and changing gender expectations for both women and men.Women artists developed their careers by adopting innovative approaches to contemporary subjects, techniques, and media.Through its complex, nuanced approach to issues of gender and female agency, this volume offers valuable and exciting new scholarship in twentieth-century American art history and feminist studies.
Taking up the question of the disintegrative condition of Francesca Woodman's final works, Claire Raymond argues that through her use of diazotype, a medium that breaks down when exposed to light, Woodman created art that responds imaginatively to the end of the stable image. Raymond focuses on the theoretical and the curatorial issues surrounding Woodman's diazotypes, showing how they play the ephemeral and evanescent against the monumental and enduring.

Animism and Shamanism in Twentieth-Century Art
Heidegger and the Work of Art History Edited by Amanda Boetzkes and Aron Vinegar
Kandinsky, Ernst, Pollock, Beuys Evan R. Firestone, Professor Emeritus of Art History, University of Georgia, USA. Wassily Kandinsky, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock and Joseph Beuys were the leading artists of their generations to recognize the rich possibilities that animism and shamanism offered. While each of these artists' connection with shamanism has been written about separately, author Evan Firestone brings the four together in order to better examine their individual approaches to anthropological materials and to define similarities and differences between them. Firestone's close readings of their artworks and examination of the relevant texts available to them reveal fresh new insights and perspectives.

Heidegger and the Work of Art History explores the impact and future possibilities of Heidegger’s philosophy for art history and visual culture in the twenty-first century. Scholars from the fields of art history, visual and material studies, design, philosophy, aesthetics and new media pursue diverse lines of thinking that have departed from Heidegger’s work in order to foster compelling new accounts of works of art and their historicity. This collected book of essays also shows how studies in the history and theory of the visual enrich our understanding of Heidegger’s philosophy. In addition to examining the philosopher's lively collaborations with art historians, and how his longstanding engagement with the visual arts influenced his conceptualization of history, the essays in this volume consider the ontological and ethical implications of our encounters with works of art, the visual techniques that form worlds, how to think about ’things’ beyond human-centred relationships.

Appropriated Photographs in French Surrealist Periodicals, 1924-1939
The Art of Joaquín Torres-García Constructive Universalism and the Inversion of Abstraction Aarnoud Rommens
Linda Steer Series: Studies in Surrealism
Intertwining art history, aesthetic theory, and Latin American studies, Aarnoud Rommens challenges contemporary Eurocentric revisions of the history of abstraction through this study of the Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres-García. Rommens analyses the paradoxes of the painter's aesthetic-philosophical doctrine of Constructive Universalism as it sought to adapt European geometric abstraction to the Americas. Through the highly original method of reading Torres-García's artworks as a critique on the artist's own writings, Rommens reveals how Torres-García appropriates the colonial language of Primitivism to construct the artificial image of "pure" pre-Columbian
The first monograph to analyze the Surrealist gesture of photographic appropriation, this study examines "found" photographs in three French Surrealist reviews published in the 1920s and 1930s: La Revolution surrealiste, edited by Andre Breton; Documents, edited by Georges Bataille; and Minotaure, edited by Breton and others.
