The Prints of Janet Fish
Janet Fish is a prominent American artist in mid career. Alongside her well-known, brilliantly hued, light-filled still lifes and landscapes with figures, she has produced an exciting body of prints in a variety of media. Her innovative lithographs, etchings woodcuts, and screenprints - whose subject matter is based on arrangements of glasses, ceramic bowls, flowers, and fruits reflected in the light from the windows of her New York loft or her home in Vermont - constitute a significant body of editioned work.

The accompanying essay by Linda Kramer provides insight into the process and techniques employed by the artist.
French Nineteenth-century Drawings and Watercolors at the Brooklyn Museum
"In 1900 the more than five hundred gouaches and ink drawings made by James Jacques Joseph Tissot for his Life of Christ were purchased by public subscription by The Brooklyn Museum, and in 1992 a sketchbook by Tissot, related to this series, was also purchased for the collection.

On the Basis of Art
A tribute to the impressive roster of women artists who have graduated from Yale University Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first women students at Yale, who came to study at the Yale School of the Fine Arts (now Yale School of Art) when it opened in 1869, and the 50th anniversary of undergraduate coeducation at the University, this volume honors the accomplishments of women artist-graduates of Yale. More than 80 artists--including Rina Banerjee, Janet Fish, Audrey Flack, Eva Hesse, Maya Lin, Howardena Pindell, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, and Mickalene Thomas--are represented with works drawn exclusively from the Yale University Art Gallery. Essays and timelines detail related milestones such as the appointment of art historian Anne Coffin Hanson as the first woman to be hired as a full, tenured professor on campus and Mimi Gardner Gates as the first female director of the Gallery. Amid the rise of feminist movements--from women's suffrage to the #MeToo movement of today--this book asserts the crucial role women have played in pushing creative boundaries at Yale, and in the art world at large.
