The Caribbean is made up of more than twenty countries, each with its own identity. Yet fascinatingly, there are significant cultural commonalities despite geographic, ethnic, linguistic, and political diversity. A mixture of African, Amerindian, Asian, and European origins define the remarkable Caribbean culture, which, from the period of colonialism to the present, has also witnessed a massive diaspora.

Caribbean Art examines the diverse and highly accomplished work of Caribbean artists, whether indigenous or from the diaspora, popular or "high" culture, rural or urban based, politically radical or religious. This expanded edition with a new preface has been updated to reflect and address fundamental challenges to traditional art-historical practice and its foundational connections to histories of colonialism, Eurocentricity, and race. This is explored further in two new chapters focused on public monuments linked to the history of the Caribbean, and the intersections between art and tourism, raising important questions about cultural representation.

Caribbean Art features the work of internationally recognized artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sonia Boyce, Christopher Cozier, Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Ebony G. Patterson, Hervé Télémaque, and more than one hundred others, working across a variety of media including performance, photography, and film. This second edition makes an important contribution to the understanding of Caribbean and postcolonial art and its context, in ways that invite productive conversation and encourage further explorations on the subject.

In 1924 Gabrielle Chanel launched the house's first makeup products, marking the beginning of a century of creativity, quality, and innovation. Now for the first time, Chanel. The Allure of Makeup reveals the history of Chanel makeup creation—including advertising campaigns created by some of the world's leading photographers and film directors.

The story unfolds in seven chapters that represent the quintessential colors of Chanel's visual vocabulary: Black, White, Beige, Red, Pink, Gold, and Blue. Each chapter highlights the talents driving the brand’s lasting impact across the decades. Iconic products such as the black and white compact or 31 Le Rouge lipstick in timeless red punctuate the chapters and claim their rightful place in the pantheon of beauty.

With unprecedented access to the Chanel archives, this book presents a wealth of visual material from historic images of Gabrielle Chanel and seldom-seen early product shots, to cinematic campaigns starring legendary women.

Claude Monet is one of the most beloved and celebrated painters of all time. He has influenced generations of painters from the nineteenth century to the present. Monet's letters—to his friends, family, fellow artists, patrons, and gallerists—offer an unmatched glimpse into the artist's life, revealing his passions, anxieties, and candid opinions. Lavishly illustrated and fully annotated, it will appeal to all admirers of the "father of impressionism."

Monet's letters offer extraordinary insight into the artist's creative process, expanding our view of his working life and practice. From his formative years to fame at the end of his life, this selection of letters is accompanied by profiles of his correspondents, expert introductions, and comprehensive annotations. Illustrated with some of Monet's best-known paintings, contemporary photographs, and reproductions of some of the letters themselves, his world is revealed in words and images.

For anyone interested in the life of one of the most important artists of the early modern era, this anthology reveals Monet's intimate personal reflections, his daily routine, his worries, and his feelings about his family, his colleagues, and his work. Published to mark the centenary of the artist’s death, this is a fresh opportunity to explore the life of one of modern art's most influential figures in his own words.

Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island is the first in-depth study of the performances, videos, and social practice of the influential Cuban–American artist Coco Fusco. The book will accompany an international touring retrospective of the artist’s work starting in 2023. Featuring contributions by renowned scholars of art history, performance art, and Cuban cultural politics, this monograph offers a comprehensive review of Fusco’s interdisciplinary art practice and her transnational perspective on race, gender, and power.

Fusco has been a leader in conversations around the intersection of identity, feminism, culture, and politics in the Americas and beyond. Emerging during the 1980s as a pioneering advocate of multiculturalism in the arts, Fusco utilizes performance, video, archival research, and writing to reflect upon the ways that intercultural relations and colonial histories shape the construction of the self and perceptions of cultural difference. Her work critically examines society from a postcolonial perspective, engaging with debates about cultural politics throughout the Americas, Europe, and elsewhere. This expansive approach is highlighted through a broad range of works that address themes including postrevolutionary Cuba, racial stereotypes, feminist politics, ethnographic displays, military interrogation, and sex tourism.
