Consulting Editor, Nina Gurianova<strong><br /> <br /> </strong>From the first Modernist exhibitions in the late 1890s to the Soviet rupture with the West in the mid-1930s, Russian artists and writers came into wide contact with modern European art and ideas. Introducing a wealth of little-known material set in an illuminating interpretive context, this sourcebook presents Russian and Soviet views of Western art during this critical period of cultural transformation. The writings document complex responses to these works and ideas before the Russians lost contact with them almost entirely. <br /> <br /> <a title="Dorontchenkov/Russian and Soviet Views of Modern Western Art" href="http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/11169.php">Read More...</a><br /> <br /> <a title="Documents of Twentieth-Century Art" href="http://www.ucpress.edu/books/series/dtca.php">Documents of Twentieth-Century Art</a><br /> <br /> 368 pages, 7 x 10", 42 b/w photos scattered<br /> Art History<br /> cloth&nbsp;&nbsp; 978-0-520-22103-1&nbsp; $65.00<br /> paper&nbsp;&nbsp; 978-0-520-25372-8&nbsp;&nbsp; $29.95<br /> </span></span><br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=RwEIWXgfkBk:4w2hbQNgEyI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=RwEIWXgfkBk:4w2hbQNgEyI:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?i=RwEIWXgfkBk:4w2hbQNgEyI:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=RwEIWXgfkBk:4w2hbQNgEyI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?i=RwEIWXgfkBk:4w2hbQNgEyI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ucpress/art/~4/RwEIWXgfkBk" height="1" width="1"/> tm_2755 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://m7.tm00.com/r/DSK7PGjKCP.php <![CDATA[Thing of Beauty: New and Selected Work]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ucpress/art/~3/CWDaVJDN1iw/Z7UmLd59HU.php <table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><a title="Mac Low/Thing of Beauty" href="http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10712.php"><img alt="" src="http://m7.tm00.com/ucpress/eNews/images/10712.160.jpg" align="left" height="242" width="160" /></a></td> <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong> <!-- article title here --> Thing of Beauty: New and Selected Work<br /> </strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><br /> Jackson Mac Low</strong></span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><br /> Edited by Anne Tardos<br /> <br /> </strong><em>Now Available in Paperback</em><br /> <br /> "In this generous selection of Jackson Mac Low's work, we can see, first hand, the poet's profound understanding of the physics of language and his exuberant articulation of the sounds of words in unpredictable motions. The multiplicity of Mac Low's forms and his rejection of any hierarchy among the forms of poetry (objective and subjective, expository or nonrepresentational, lyric and epic), along with his refusal to identify poetic composition with a characteristic 'voice' of the poet and his rejection of traditional aesthetic standards of beauty, are among the chief marks of his iconoclastic genius."--Charles Bernstein<br /> <br /> <a title="Mac Low/Thing of Beauty" href="http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10712.php">Read More...</a><br /> <br /> 502 pages, 6 x 9", 20 b/w photographs<br /> Literature/Poetry/Art<br /> paper&nbsp;&nbsp; 978-0-520-26002-3&nbsp;&nbsp; $21.95<br /> </span></span><br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=CWDaVJDN1iw:qiHovR_zDnU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=CWDaVJDN1iw:qiHovR_zDnU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?i=CWDaVJDN1iw:qiHovR_zDnU:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?a=CWDaVJDN1iw:qiHovR_zDnU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ucpress/art?i=CWDaVJDN1iw:qiHovR_zDnU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ucpress/art/~4/CWDaVJDN1iw" height="1" width="1"/> tm_2502 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://m7.tm00.com/r/Z7UmLd59HU.php <![CDATA[Embattled Avant-Gardes: Modernism's Resistance to Commodity Culture in Europe]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ucpress/art/~3/O2FdmdV1vzI/LONwKAb4d5.php <table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="248" width="177"> <tr> <td><a title="Adamson/Embattled Avant-Gardes" href="http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/10930.php"><img alt="" src="http://m7.tm00.com/ucpress/eNews/images/10930.160.jpg" align="left" height="242" width="160" /></a></td> <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong> <!-- article title here --> </strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Embattled Avant-Gardes: Modernism's Resistance to Commodity Culture in Europe<br /> <br /> </strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Walter L.

Art Workers
Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era
Julia Bryan-Wilson

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, an important group of American artists and critics sought to expand the definition of creative labor by identifying themselves as “art workers.” In the first book to examine this movement, Julia Bryan-Wilson shows how a polemical redefinition of artistic labor played a central role in minimalism, process art, feminist criticism, and conceptualism.
