<p>This is the first book to focus exclusively on what Grace Hartigan terms her "art history paintings": paintings specifically inspired by works culled from her far-ranging interests in art of the past. The essay and interview with the artist consider Hartigan’s response to compositional ideas and deliberate reinterpretations of famous "masterworks" of the west. Illustrations include a grouping of recent paintings in which Hartigan has borrowed figures, poses, and gestures appropriated from a variety of sources. </p>

Symbolism and Modern Urban Society

This is the first social history of the Symbolist movement, providing new definitions and theories for Symbolism and Decadence. Sharon Hirsh addresses issues such as spatial/street confrontations with the crowd, the diseased city, and the New Woman. Focusing on works by well known artists such as Van Gogh, Munch and Ensor, Hirsh also considers the works of artists who contributed in important ways to the Symbolist movement and the cities in which they worked.
