<i>Arthur Dove: A Reassessment</i> offers a fresh look at the art, life and literature of seminal American modernist painter Arthur Dove (1880–1946). It also introduces Dove’s long-forgotten biographer Suzanne Mullett Smith, who worked with Alfred Stieglitz and the artist from 1943 to 1944 assembling a chronicle of Dove’s art and life as well as a catalogue raisonné. By examining previously unpublished material, this volume explores the differences between Dove’s public and private personas, especially the development of his art while living in Westport, Connecticut, from 1910 to 1920; his successful career as a chicken farmer; his complex relationship with his family; and the impact of his Christian background on some of his best-known works. This lavishly designed volume offers a fresh reexamination of Dove that is sure to become essential reading for scholars and fans alike.

Abraham Manievich is first English-language publication to chronicle the life of this artist, and will reintroduce 130 of his images to the public record and present new scholarshipThe painter Abraham Manievich was a prominent figure in the artistic worlds of early twentieth-century Europe and America. Born in the small Russian town of Mstislavl in1881, his artistic training in Kiev and Munich led to early success. Until now there has been no comprehensive study of the involved symbolism that underlies his major paintings, works that the authors believe require examination within the context of Jewish Futurism. This discussion of the attributes and ideas characteristic of Jewish Futurist painting, especially as it pertains to Manievich and his contemporaries, such as Chagall, Natan Altman, and Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné, will further the understanding of the contribution of Jewish artists to the artistic and literary avant-garde of the time.
