Russian Shorts

Beginning with the 1881 Itinerant Art Exhibition, this book examines the history of modern Russia through the paintings of Vasily Surikov and Viktor Vasnetsov, two of the most important Russian painters of the period. By placing specific paintings and their artists alongside the historical myths and legends depicted in the art, Stephen M. Norris explores in highly readable prose how paintings helped to bring obscure, half-forgotten historical events into the public imagination in the 19th century.

Russia's History Painters reveals how Russian history and national identity came to include Kievan princes, Orthodox Christian knights, Cossacks and Peter the Great, among many others. It also analyzes how critics and commentators interpreted these canvases as living entities, encouraging viewers to immerse themselves into the pasts captured on them, and in doing so, to assimilate notions of honour, bravery, and love for the motherland. 

Analysing 11 pivotal artworks in depth, this accessible book explores how painting has defined Russian history and nationhood up to the present day.

Making Matters

The Lure of the South looks at the experience of British health seekers in the explosion of continental touring that occurred after the opening of the Post-Napoleonic European continent to relatively easy access. These people ranged from the genuinely ill - some even on the verge of death - to the merely overworked or ill at ease. It examines why they went, where and how; who advised and guided them; how they lived (and sometimes died) when abroad; and finally the influence they had on the wider development of European tourism and tourist resorts. Considering health tourism as an integral part of the wider phenomenon of foreign touring and travel, it surveys a wide range of concerns that exercised expatriate patients and their companions on the Continent beyond merely their health - concerns that were informed by the social and cultural baggage they brought with them. The overarching theme of the book therefore is to use health as a lens through which to examine Victorian society in all its complexity, and how it interacted with the continental cultures that it came to reside within. Drawing from unpublished archival sources, especially correspondence and diaries from family papers, Aspin reveals the sacrifices and culture shocks of patients and their families, the feuds and interests they brought with them, and above all the reality of the delusion of climatotherapy, a promise of a cure that somehow remained forever out of reach.

"A beautifully produced, authoritative volume."--Kirkus Reviews Explores Wayne Thiebaud's career as a self-described "thief" who appropriated and reinterpreted old and new European and American artworks. Although artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) earned acclaim for his poetic renderings of the prosaic particulars of American life, he openly admitted that "it's hard for me to think of artists who weren't influential on me, because I'm such a blatant thief." Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art features the artist's virtuosic appropriations and reinterpretations of old and new European and American artworks, spanning from Andrea Mantegna to Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse to Richard Diebenkorn, offering crucial insights into his creative process. Thiebaud's exploration of art, artists, and art history--along with the practices of copying, appropriation, and reinterpretation--allowed him not only to see through the eyes of other artists but also to commune with them through their work, expanding his own vision. This career-long engagement with the concept of appropriation illustrates his perception of art history as an encyclopedic "bureau of standards"--a rich repository and resource that offers working artists community with their predecessors and communion with their artworks. Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Exhibition dates: Legion of Honor: March 22-August 17, 2025

Ruling Devotion

This book emphasises Lady Charlotte Schreiber (1812-1895) -- also known as Lady Charlotte Guest, née Bertie -- as one of the most significant women in the history of collecting. An extraordinary collector, historian and philanthropist, Charlotte subverted gendered norms and challenged Victorian conventions. This new study establishes Charlotte's contribution to ceramic history and cultural education, and demonstrates her influential role in transnational artistic networks.Charting Charlotte's eventful life, McCaffrey-Howarth focuses on her identity as a renowned connoisseur, whose donation of thousands of objects to the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum and the British Museum marked a pioneering move for a female benefactor. Lady Charlotte Schreiber, Extraordinary Art Collector presents unique insight into the social and cultural world of Victorian England and the role of women within this.
