A sweeping retrospective exploring the oeuvre of an incandescent artist, revealing the ways that Mitchell expanded painting beyond Abstract Expressionism as well as the transatlantic contexts that shaped herJoan Mitchell (1925–1992) was fearless in her experimentation, creating works of unparalleled beauty, strength, and emotional intensity. This gorgeous book unfolds the story of an artistic master of the highest order, revealing the ways she expanded abstract painting and illuminating the transatlantic contexts that shaped her. Lavish illustrations cover the full arc of her artistic practice, from her exceptional New York paintings of the early 1950s to the majestic multipanel compositions she made in France later in her career. Signature works are represented here along with rarely seen paintings, works on paper, artist’s sketchbooks, and photographs of Mitchell’s life, social circle, and surroundings. Featuring scholarly texts, in-depth essays, and artistic and literary responses, this book is organized in ten chronological chapters. Each chapter centers on a closely related suite of paintings, illuminating a shifting inner landscape colored by experience, sensation, memory, and a deep sense of place. Presenting groundbreaking research and a variety of perspectives on her art, life, and connections to poetry and music, this unprecedented volume is an essential reference for Mitchell’s admirers and those just discovering her work.Published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern ArtExhibition Schedule:San Francisco Museum of Modern Art(September 4, 2021–January 17, 2022) Baltimore Museum of Art(March 6–August 14, 2022) Fondation Louis Vuitton (October 5, 2022–February 27, 2023)

“I’m drawn to expressions of humanity. I want [viewers] to think about who these people are, what it’s like to interact with them, what stories they might be telling”—Amy Sherald “The contemporary painter’s defining subjects are everyday Black Americans, the ‘sublime’ buried subtly, but unmistakably, in their everyday gestures.”—New York Times Book Review, “10 Giftworthy Visual Books”“A landmark publication for one of the most influential American painters working today, this volume brings together nearly all of Sherald’s paintings to date. Her figures—poised, dignified and arrestingly present—are situated within the lineage of American realism while unmistakably her own.”—Megan Fox Kelly, Observer.com, “Art Books Shaping Summer 2025”“Sublime, indeed.”— Emily Raboteau, Apollo Encompassing the full arc of Amy Sherald’s (b. 1973) career, from her poetic early works to the distinctive figure paintings and portraits that have become her hallmark, this book unfolds the artist’s method of selecting individuals she meets on the street and using facial expression, body language, and clothing choices to create paintings that transcend portraiture and expand the canon of American art. Essays by curators Sarah Roberts and Rhea Combs; poet and writer Elizabeth Alexander; artist Dario Calmese; and renowned scholar Deborah Willis contextualize and illuminate Sherald’s creation of a new form of imaginative portraiture. Often depicting her subjects’ skin in gray monochrome, surrounded by few markers of place, time, or context beyond the clothes they wear, Sherald challenges the assumption that Black life is inextricably bound with struggle, creating images that engage in more expansive thinking about race and representation and the wide-open possibilities and complexities of every individual. Whether a passerby or the former first lady Michelle Obama, Sherald’s subjects represent what America was, is, and could be.Accompanied the blockbuster exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Baltimore Museum of Art, and High Museum in AtlantaIncludes 120 beautifully reproduced color illustrations, including 1 gatefoldThe book’s striking design features decorative, deep blue edge paintingPublished in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern ArtExhibition Schedule: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art(November 16, 2024–March 9, 2025) Whitney Museum of American Art, New York(April 9–August 10, 2025) Baltimore Museum of Art(November 2, 2025–April 3, 2026)High Museum of Art, Atlanta(May 15–September 27, 2026)

This study provides new interpretations of the little-known but fascinating Palazzo Trinci frescoes, relating them for the first time both to their physical context and to their social, political, and cultural environment.Chapters show how a humanist agenda subverted the historical and mythical associations more frequently used to promote powerful families, to point the Trinci family in new directions. It also shows how the artists involved adapted established civic, religious, and chivalric imagery in support of these ideas. The book argues that the resulting decorations are highly unusual for the period, in their serious political and social purpose. Positioning the Trinci as bringers of peace, not war, the family is now associated with culture and education and presented as willing to encourage debate about the character of the virtuous ruler and the nature of good government.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and Renaissance studies.

'A searingly honest account of her journey, from heartbreak to joy' Daily MailSarah's first book, For the Love of Oscar, tells the story of her first child Oscar's birth, his postnatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome and his adventures up to the age of four. Don't Be Sorry continues Oscar's story, from age four to nine. It covers Oscar's life in a local mainstream infant school, with all its challenges and triumphs, including friendships and how the other children respond to Oscar. Sarah describes her struggles navigating medical appointments and hospital admissions, all the while maintaining her mission gently to educate others. There are many preconceived ideas and misconceptions about what it means to have a child like Oscar in one's life. Sarah's story is one for any parent; it is not just about the highs and lows of having a child with additional needs, but also simply as a mum of three. She talks candidly about coming to terms with the decision to move Oscar to a SEN (Special Educational Needs) school, another big milestone in Oscar's young life. Whilst Sarah may have found herself on a different path to the one she'd imagined for herself, it has not been a bad one. There is sadness, certainly; and there have been struggles along the way; but there has been so much laughter and happiness, too.
