Rose B. Simpson: Strata

0, A new and exciting voice in contemporary art that enriches the wider discourse on Native women artists Rose B. Simpson (b. 1983), a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, is from a long lineage of women working in ceramics in her tribe, dating back hundreds of years. Her signature figures draw heavily on her ancestral Kha'po Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo) tribe's centuries-long ceramic tradition while also integrating modern methods, materials, and processes to express bold interventions in colonial legacies of dependency, erasure, and assimilation. Published on the occasion of a large-scale commission for the Cleveland Museum of Art, this richly illustrated volume features essays that contextualize Simpson's work in terms of the history of art, Indigenous feminisms, and Native American art in general. It also includes a moderated conversation with the artist that elucidates Simpson's conceptual framework and practice.

The Story of Drawing: An Alternative History of Art

0,Winner of the Apollo Book of the Year Award 2024 Drawing is at the heart of human creativity. The most democratic form of art-making, it requires nothing more than a plain surface and a stub of pencil, a piece of chalk or an inky brush. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawing--whether on papyrus, parchment, or paper. Artists throughout history have used drawing as part of the creative process. While painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered extraordinary creative latitude. Here we see the artist at his or her most unguarded. Susan Owens offers a glimpse over artists' shoulders--from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Hokusai to Van Gogh, K?the Kollwitz, and Yayoi Kusama--as they work, think, and innovate, as they scrutinise the world around them or escape into imagination. The Story of Drawing loops around the established history of art, sometimes staying close, at other times diving into exhilarating and altogether less familiar territory.

Tulips and Peacocks: William Morris and Art from the Islamic World

8,An introduction to William Morris's personal collection of artworks from the Islamic world and how they came to influence his pattern-making One of the principal founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, William Morris was responsible for hundreds of patterns for wallpapers, fabrics, tapestries, and carpets that are iconic of the late nineteenth century and continue to resonate today. It is now widely acknowledged that his artistic production was stimulated by his deep familiarity with embroideries, woven velvets, silks, carpets, and metalwork from Iran, Syria, and Turkey, which he collected throughout his lifetime. Ranging from popular nineteenth-century tourist merchandise to rare artefacts of historical significance, Morris's collection is a testament to the interconnectedness of global artistic traditions and the enduring importance of recognising the contributions of various cultures to the evolution of his design and craftsmanship. This highly illustrated publication offers diverse perspectives in contextualising Morris's role within contemporary debates around colonial collecting, Islam's representation in the museum context, and issues of cultural appropriation from ...
