Filippo de Pisis
This catalog of the exhibition held in Florence at the Museo Novecento, from 18th March through 7th September 2022, investigates some key themes of the artistic production of one of the most complex personalities of the early twentieth century in Italy. Often accused of pursuing a painting with a "decorative superficiality" of a neo-impressionist matrix - due to the rapid and light brushstrokes and pleasant color combinations - de Pisis has instead built many of his major paintings through a game of references and references, autobiographical and cultural. This complexity is evident in the careful and studied selection of works in which the artist has adopted expedients such as the "picture within a picture", the mise en abyme of visual representation, the evocation of instruments of the trade, the allegorical composition that sometimes functions as a rebus.
Divine Beauty
Sacred art is traditionally linked with the period stretching from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. In reality, it has never completely vanished, and this book retraces its history in the years between the 1880s and 1950, both in Italy and abroad. Taking an unprecedented approach, 'Divine Beauty' sets out to investigate the relationship between art and the Church, a connection that had been unbreakable in previous centuries and that seemed to have been lost in the modern era. This is a unique work, which brings together such great names as Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, Edvard Munch, Giovanni Segantini, and Lucio Fontana.
Artiste / Women Artists
"Now that you have a room of your own and the children havegrown a bit, will you be painting some?" wrote Fillide Levasti to fellow artistLeonetta Cecchi in 1920. "If so, now is the time for the lovely part tobegin!". Two early twentieth-century women painters and their moving personalletters, hosted at the Marucelliana Library and the Vieusseux's Contemporary Archive, have inspired a citywide project for art, restoration and research whose keynote exhibition Women Artists. Florence 1900-1950 is a sign of their times. In a Florence filled with female sculptors, painters, illustrators and writers, Cecchi and Levasti formed part of a fascinating network of creative friendships. Together with other equally determined women - Evelyn Scarampi, Vittoria Morelli, Flavia Arlotta, Elisabeth Chaplin, Marisa Mori, Adriana Pincherle and Elena Salvaneschi - they comprise a formidable legacy that spans literature and the visual arts, crossing boundaries from painting to page. With their stories recovered and their art restored, theirs has finally become a journey from storage to spotlight.

Radiance and Symbolism in Modern Stained Glass
This book focuses on the aesthetic, symbolic, and cultural concepts of radiance and beauty in stained glass in modern art; global exchanges between stained-glass artists in Europe and the Americas; and the transformation of stained glass from religious decoration to secular material culture. Unique features of the book include its geographic breadth, encompassing England, France, Italy, USA, and Mexico, and its inclusion of American female glassmakers. Essays consider how stained glass became an art form during this time, and show how the narrative for the figurative design drew from the Bible, mythology, history, literature, and the symbolism of the time, including popular culture such as ecology and materiality. Written for students and the general public interested in the humanities, literature, history, art history, and new media and popular culture, this book examines the visual beauty and symbolism of stained-glass windows in Europe and American cultures during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – the modern era.

Dealing Art on Both Sides of the Atlantic, 1860-1940
Dealing Art on Both Sides of the Atlantic, 1860-1940 aims to bring the marketplace dynamic into sharper focus with its essays which examine the many functionaries who participate in the art market network, among them, agents, scouts, intermediaries, restorers, fakers, decorators, advisers and experts. All of the essays are rooted in case studies which give voice to the various aspects of supply−from branding to marketing, from inventory to display, from restoration to pastiche to fabrication. Each is incredibly rich in their marshalling of primary sources and archival materials; in sum, they present an impressive array of new research. Contributors are: Fae Brauer, Denise M. Budd, Patrizia Cappellini, Lynn Catterson, Sebastien Chaffour, Laura D. Corey, Flaminia Gennari-Santori, Jacqueline Marie Musacchio, Joanna Smalcerz, Alexandra Provo, AnnaLea Tunesi, and Leanne Zalewski.
