Includes bibliographical references (pages 200-212) and indexes."Taking as its subject the role of manuscript illumination during the long history of the Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Splendor offers a sweeping overview of one of the most impressive chapters in the history of medieval art. Beginning with the reforms initiated by Charlemagne (the first emperor after the fall of Rome) and ending with the flurry of artistic innovation that coincided with the invention of the printing press and the onset of humanism in the fifteenth century, this book examines the intersections of art, manuscripts, and power throughout the Holy Roman Empire. Its central claim is that the Empire played a crucial role in the patronage and development of the arts of the book throughout the Middle Ages. While generally little known by the broader public, the manuscripts produced in these regions count among the most spectacular works of art from the entire Middle Ages"--.- Subjects: Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval; Books;

"This publication presents Betye Saar's sketchbooks--which she has kept during her entire career--for the first time and offers insights into the artist's creative process. A child of the Great Depression and one of the only African American students in her UCLA art program, Betye Saar has, over the course of more than six decades, made work that exposes stereotypes and injustices based on race and gender. From early prints and watercolors to Joseph Cornell-inspired assemblages and full-scale sculptural tableaux, her work has inspired generations of artists. This ingeniously designed publication plays off the format of Saar's original sketchbooks. Made throughout her extraordinary career, Saar's sketches are an integral part of her creative process and offer a greater understanding of the themes woven into her finished works, which are also featured in the book. Saar's sources and influences range from Simon Rodia's Watts Towers and Haitian Vodou fetishes to Australian Aboriginal paintings, Native American leatherwork, and African American history, literature, and music. An original, intimate, and valuable resource for Saar's many fans, this book will also educate future generations about Saar's significant contributions to American art.

- Medieval monsters : terrors, aliens, wonders / by Lindquist, Sherry C. M.,1964-author.; Mittman, Asa Simon,1976-author.; Miéville, China,writer of preface.; Pierpont Morgan Library,organizer,host institution.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-172) and index.Monsters possess transformative powers, rendering them at once profoundly dangerous and utterly fascinating. Medieval Monsters explores the cultural importance and rich variety of monstrosities in the art of the Middle Ages, with examples drawn from the Morgan Library & Museum's renowned collection of illuminated manuscripts. While presenting a lively array of strange beauties and frightful anomalies--demons and dragons, centaurs, and unicorns--the authors reveal how monsters played a central role in medieval societies. The volume has three sections. "Terrors" features familiar monsters such as demons, dragons, and hell-mouths. These fearful enemies are often depicted in battle with heroes--the fiercer the monster, the more powerful its victor. "Aliens" examines how groups of people were visualized as monstrous; women, Jews, Muslims, the poor, and the mentally ill were marginalized in medieval society, as reflected in their representation in art. "Wonders" presents monsters' fascinating ability to inspire wonder and awe. From centaurs to giants to grotesque hybrids, these beasts lack codified meanings, yet their strange beauty and frightful abnormality inspire us to marvel. A preface by award-winning fantasy fiction writer China Miville argues for the enduring relevance of monsters in today's world.- Subjects: Monsters in art; Curiosities and wonders in art; Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval; Illumination of books and manuscripts, Renaissance;
