    Creator

    Gupta, Arjun

    Abstract

    "The 16th century German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder was as brilliant as he was prolific. A close friend of Martin Luther, Cranach the Elder gave artistic substance to aspects of Luther's rebelllion against the Catholic Church. This book is an attempt to delineate some of the connections between Cranach, Luther and the Reformation."--

    Lamant, Ludovic

    Abstract

    Personne ne comprend plus rien à l'Europe, ses traitésindigestes, ses crises à répétition. Pour pallier cetteincompréhension, Ludovic Lamant a pris l'expression « construction européenne » au pied de la lettre et s'est intéressé à ce que l'UE a de plus visible: les bâtiments qui abritent ses institutions.

  • Constructing empire : the Japanese in Changchun, 1905-45

    Creator

    Sewell, Bill

    Abstract

    Civilians play crucial roles in building empires. Constructing Empire shows how Japanese urban planners, architects, and other civilians contributed to constructing a modern colonial enclave in northeast China, their visions shifting over time. Japanese imperialism in Manchuria before 1932 resembled that of other imperialists elsewhere in China, but the Japanese thereafter sought to surpass their rivals by transforming the city of Changchun into a grand capital for the puppet state of Manchukuo.

  • Diversity counts : gender, race, and representation in Canadian art galleries

    Creator

    Dymond, Anne

    Abstract

    Despite the common belief that art galleries will naturally become more gender equitable over time, the fact is that many art institutions in Canada have become even less so over the last decade, with female artists making up less than 25 per cent of the contemporary exhibitions of several major galleries. In the first large-scale overview of gender diversity in Canadian art exhibitions, Anne Dymond makes a persuasive plea for more consciously equitable curating.

  • Illustrating El Cid, 1498 to today

    Creator

    Beck, Lauren

    Abstract

    Like England's Arthur and France's Charlemagne, the Cid is Spain's national hero, and for centuries he has served as an ideal model of citizenship. All Spaniards are familiar with the story of the Cid and the multifarious ways in which he is visualized. From illuminations in medieval manuscripts to illustrations in twenty-first-century editions, depictions of the Cid vary widely, revealing just how much Spain's national identity has transformed throughout the centuries.

  • Incorporating culture : how Indigenous people are reshaping the Northwest Coast art industry

    Creator

    Roth, Solen

    Abstract

    Fragments of culture often become commodities when the tourism and heritage business showcases local artistic and cultural practice. But what happens when local communities become more involved in this cultural marketplace? Incorporating Culture examines how Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs are cultivating more equitable relationships with the companies that reproduce their designs on everyday objects.
