Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Janet Backhouse, who originally assembled the evidence that revealed this long-forgotten masterpiece, introduces the Hours of Louis XII and its cycle of miniatures. Thomas Kren discusses the book's provocative miniature of Bathsheba bathing within the context of the king's own taste and predilections and within the then-emerging genre of the female nude in French painting. Nancy Turner considers the importance of Bourdichon's painting and illuminating technique in the Hours of Louis XII in relation to his other work. Mark Evans examines the individual histories of each of the surviving portions of the book. Lastly, an appendix reconstructs the book's devotional contents and program of illumination."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: In Rembrandt Reconstructed, the artist and poet Paul takes eight works by Rembrandt (Bathsheba at Her Bath, Belshazzar's Feast, The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Danaë, The Night Watch, Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-Up Collar, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp and The Prodigal Son in the Tavern) and abstracts them through pixelation to reveal average color distributions over given areas of the image, from the entirety of the painting as one solid color to a "full resolution" image of the painting. Through these eleven stages of resolution, attention is called to the question of "what constitutes adequate reproduction?" In its manifold aspects, Rembrandt Reconstructed can be viewed variously as a color study, as an examination of graphic reproduction, and as a work of visual poetry. Rembrandt Reconstructed is part of the Reconstructed series of art books (Bosch, Da Vinci, Vermeer, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Rousseau).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our preeminent historians of race and democracy argues that the period since 2008 has marked nothing less than America’s Third Reconstruction In The Third Reconstruction, distinguished historian Peniel E. Joseph offers a powerful and personal new interpretation of recent history. The racial reckoning that unfolded in 2020, he argues, marked the climax of a Third Reconstruction: a new struggle for citizenship and dignity for Black Americans, just as momentous as the movements that arose after the Civil War and during the civil rights era. Joseph draws revealing connections and insights across centuries as he traces this Third Reconstruction from the election of Barack Obama to the rise of Black Lives Matter to the failed assault on the Capitol. America’s first and second Reconstructions fell tragically short of their grand aims. Our Third Reconstruction offers a new chance to achieve Black dignity and citizenship at last—an opportunity to choose hope over fear.
