The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989 illuminates the dynamic and complex impact of Asian art, literary texts and philosophical concepts on American artistic practices from the late nineteenth century through the present. Released to accompany a major survey at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Third Mind traces how the classical arts of India, China and Japan and the systems of Hindu, Taoist, Tantric Buddhist and Zen Buddhist thought that were collectively admired as the "East" were known, reconstructed and transformed by American cultural, intellectual and political forces. Featuring 270 objects in an array of media including painting, works on paper, books and ephemera, sculptures, video art and installations, this richly illustrated catalogue also includes scholarly essays by museum curators and academics specializing in art history, intellectual history, Asian studies and Postcolonial religious and cultural studies and representing a range of interdisciplinary perspectives.

Art, occultism and decadence from late 19th-century France
Mystical Symbolism: The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris, 1892–1897 accompanied the first-ever museum presentation examining the Salon de la Rose+Croix, a series of annual exhibitions established by eccentric French author, critic, occultist and Rosicrucian Joséphin Péladan. The Rose+Croix convened an international group of Symbolist artists around a shared refutation of Realist aesthetics and philosophy, frequently in favor of the ideal and the mystical. Among the participants were Pierre Amédée Marcel-Béronneau, Jean Delville, Fernand Khnopff, Charles Maurin, Armand Point, Alexandre Séon and Félix Vallotton.
Bound in red velvet with gold-stamped lettering to conjure the evocative atmosphere of the Salons, the catalog features essays about the history, themes and often spiritual aims of the Rose+Croix (Vivien Greene), its reception by the press and the public in the 1890s (Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond) and the importance of spiritualism to early 20th-century abstraction (Kenneth E. Silver). This richly illustrated volume also contains 46 color plates, entries on each exhibited artist and a bibliography of contemporary sources on Symbolist art.

“She was born in the year of the second Great Exhibition and she was run over by a tradesman’s bicycle in 1934—a long life for a cat. There were all sorts of mysteries about her. . . .” So begins Laurel for Libby, a beguiling previously unpublished story by Vivien Greene, the wife of acclaimed author Graham Greene. First presented by Vivien to her husband as a tenth-anniversary gift, the original text is reproduced here for the first time in her own legible hand, accompanied by her own charming drawings as well. This little book chronicles the many adventures of Libby, the oldest cat in Bristol, who lived with the same family all her life through four major wars, the Peace of Berlin, and the Treaty of Versailles. Given different names by a succession of cooks and family owners over the years, she never had kittens, and thus a question mark always hung over her sex. Greene follows this mysterious feline and her many exploits over seven decades of British life, offering a whimsical and ultimately timeless story that is sure to delight cat lovers of all ages on both sides of the Atlantic.

RADICAL LIGHT Italy's Divisionist Painters 1891 - 1910

Fraquelli, Simonetta

Tosini, Auora Scotti

Yale University Press

Italian Divisionism was arguably the most significant art movement in Italy during the last decades of the 19th century. Often misinterpreted as a simple derivative of French Neo-Impressionism, Divisionism actually diverged from the French school in both aims and results. Italian Divisionists were motivated by a basic dissatisfaction with modern civilization and a desire both to endow art with a scientific approach and make it an instrument of social change. At the same time, their work was often deeply Symbolist in character.
This book features many first-generation Divisionists, including Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, Giovanni Segantini, and Gaetano Previati, together with Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, and others who later launched the Futurist movement, yet were profoundly influenced by Divisionism.
