William Christenberry is an internationally recognized interpreter of the American South. Through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, Christenberry reveals a stirring vision of the heritage that obsesses his art. His original imagery and objects form a distinguished voice in American contemporary art. Addressing the experience of migration and the toll of regionalism on personal identity, he specifically describes and considers the social and material culture of the deep South. This volume presents the first comprehensive survey of the artist's expression ever published.

Christenberry: Reconstruction : The Art of William Christenberry

The Beeson Collection was begun in 1946 and consists of roughly 1400 pieces, assembled through purchases at auction, from dealers and other collectors, in addition to two major collections. In 1975 the entire collection was donated to the Birmingham Museum of Art (Alabama), where it is exhibited in a special gallery. This collection concentrates mainly on the huge range of wares from the Josiah Wedgwood and Thomas Bentley partnership period (1769-80) and reveals the development of Wedgwood pottery from the red stoneware produced in the 1760s to the work of Emile-Aubert Lessore produced in the 1870s. The book itself is an exposition of the social history of the 18th century and contains detailed descriptions of the wares and manufacturing techniques at the Wedgwood works. Josiah Wedgwood is portrayed as an energetic Renaissance man who made many different types of pottery as well as many technical contributions to the pottery industry and to English society. In his numerous letters to his partner Thomas Bentley, who controlled the London end of the trade, all manner of life is revealed. Rising from modest beginnings Josiah became one of the wealthiest men in England, acquiring en route a wide knowledge of the arts, science, chemistry and physics. Always interested in new inventions, he was one of the many English artists who ushered in neoclassicism; he created Jasper ware to capture the pastel colours used by the architects Adam and James Wyatt, and instituted many innovations in the manufacture of both pottery and porcelain throughout his notable career. This volume contains virtually everything the aspiring collector needs to know about the vast range of wares and designs produced by Wedgwood.

Winogrand 1964 gives cohesive form to Garry Winogrand's America in 195 photographs made in a single year, the majority previously unpublished. Taken together, these images depict the country at a cultural crossroads, a superpower increasingly linked by mass consumerism and television, but still a naive and quirky frontier nation. A year after the assassination of JFK, Winogrand summons the national mood as the Vietnam War begins and the Civil Rights movement inspires both race riots and significant legislation. In an unparalleled, newly researched group of pictures, the photographer most often associated with the sixties travels the United States with his characteristic appetite for life and eye for humor - shooting on the beach, at state fairs and stock shows, tourist attractions and sporting events - creating what Tod Papageorge deemed "the most accessible body of pictures he ever made." In the year of Dr. Strangelove and the New York World's Fair, Winogrand searches for meaning in his work and the world it reflects. "I look at the pictures I have done up to now," he wrote in 1963, "and they make me feel that who we are and what we feel and what is to become of us just doesn't matter. ...I cannot accept my conclusions, and so I must continue this photographic investigation further and deeper."
