The Celebration of the Saints in Byzantine Art and Liturgy Nancy Patterson Sevcenko
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS975
The studies in this volume all deal with images and texts that relate to the veneration of the saints in Byzantium after the 9th century . Some papers are devoted to the church calendar and the annual commemorations of hundreds of saints through liturgical poetry and sequences of isolated images in fresco, icon painting and illuminated manuscripts . Others are concerned with the longer and rarer, narrative cycles devoted to the life of a single saint, cycles found mainly in fresco and on the so-called vita icons that first appear in the East in the late 12th century . Additional studies deal with the developing role of icons in liturgical ceremonies, and with images of a saint being approached by a supplicant or patron . A final section is devoted to places made holy by the saints, and to their holy relics . Includes 190 b&w illustrations March 2012 390 pages Hardback 978-1-4094-1160-4 c . £100 .00 www .ashgate .com/isbn/9781409411604

Despite the importance of Chen Hongshou (1599–1652) as an artist and scholar of the late Ming period, until now no full length study in English has focused on his work . Bentley takes a broadly interdisciplinary approach, treating Chen’s oeuvre in relation to literary themes and economic changes, and linking these larger concerns to visual analyses . In so doing, Bentley sheds new light not only on Chen, but also on an important cultural moment in the first half of the seventeenth century, when Chinese scholar artists began to direct their work towards anonymous public markets .

As these nine authors eloquently demonstrate, Manet remains a compelling and elusive object of study and interpretation whose works continue to elicit rich and conflicting readings from contemporary scholars .’ Heather McPherson, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA

Rather than seeking consensus on his art through one methodology, or focusing on one crucial work or period, this collection investigates the range of Manet’s art in the context of his time and considers how his vision has shaped subsequent interpretations .

Maruja Mallo and the Spanish Avant-Garde Shirley Mangini, California State University, USA
Ashgate Studies in Surrealism
‘This book is a major contribution to studies of the highly regarded twentieth-century Spanish painter, Maruja Mallo, and more broadly to our knowledge of the Spanish avant-garde, that extraordinary flowering of Spanish culture in the 1920s and 1930s . Shirley Mangini has masterfully woven together the historical context, the artist’s personal biography, and analyses of the various phases of her painting into a gripping narrative . Hers is an authoritative and detailed account of this astonishing woman, who forged an artistic career in an era in Spain that was particularly hostile to women artists and writers .’ Roberta Johnson, University of Kansas and UCLA, USA, author of Gender and Nation in the Spanish Modernist Novel
The first book in English on the artist, Maruja Mallo and the Spanish Avant-Garde examines the life and art of a woman sidelined by history and her male counterparts . Out of the misogyny and political conflict of interwar Madrid, Mallo emerges, not as Surrealist muse, but as a vital figure in the flowering of Spain’s cultural vanguard . Unprecedented interviews with Mallo’s family provide fresh insights into this extraordinary artist .
