Hardback. Condición: New. A captivating companion to a major retrospective of Josefina Auslender's drawings at Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, Maine.This stunning book offers the first comprehensive exploration of Argentinian contemporary artist Josefina Auslender. Despite her prolific mastery of drawing and abstractio…n in graphite, colored pencil, and ink, Auslender has received disproportionately little attention by critics, scholars, and art institutions-until now.This survey of Auslender's artistic career spans decades and continents, conveying her lifelong passion for creating new worlds through art. By connecting the artist's work with key moments in her professional career, intersecting with major global events, the accessible text examines issues of gender, war, grief, trauma, diaspora-and how we all, in our own ways, grapple with feelings of isolation and connection, otherness, and belonging.

Hardback. Condición: New. Color is an integral part of human experience, so common as to be overlooked or treated as unimportant. Yet color is both unavoidable and varied. Each culture classifies, understands, and uses it in different and often surprising ways, posing particular challenges to those who study color from long-ago…times and places far distant. Veiled Brightness reconstructs what color meant to the ancient Maya, a set of linked peoples and societies who flourished in and around the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and Central America. By using insights from archaeology, linguistics, art history, and conservation, the book charts over two millennia of color use in a region celebrated for its aesthetic refinement and high degree of craftsmanship.The authors open with a survey of approaches to color perception, looking at Aristotelian color theory, recent discoveries in neurophysiology, and anthropological research on color. Maya color terminology receives new attention here, clarifying not just basic color terms, but also the extensional or associated meanings that enriched ancient Maya perception of color. The materials and technologies of Maya color production are assembled in one place as never before, providing an invaluable reference for future research.From these investigations, the authors demonstrate that Maya use of color changed over time, through a sequence of historical and artistic developments that drove the elaboration of new pigments and coloristic effects. These findings open fresh avenues for investigation of ancient Maya aesthetics and worldview and provide a model for how to study the meaning and making of color in other ancient civilizations.
