<p>This new title presents, in its entirety, a new series of photographs by Vik Muniz, completed while he was artist-in-residence at the Frick Art &amp; Historical Center in Pittsburgh. Muniz used his inimitable photographic eye to capture Clayton--the historical home of 19th century American industrialist Henry Clay Frick--through the eyes of a child. Muniz uses a 19th century 8 x 10 inch view camera to record a fictional narrative, using a deliberately low point of view that immerses the viewer in the perspective of a child. The result is a series of ominous and intriguing images that approach history in an imaginative, non-linear fashion. The book "Clayton Days" also features an essay by renowned author and photography critic Andy Grundberg that places this new series within the context of Muniz's past production and within the tradition of contemporary photography, and an extended dialogue with Muniz conducted by Linda Benedict-Jones, executive director of the Silver Eye Center for Photography. Paperback, 96 pages, 11.25 x 9 inches, 74 b&amp;w illustrations</p>

As the artist in residence at The Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh, French artist Christian Milovanoff was invited to respond to the Center's collections. The result is an elegantly and assymetrically laid out series of photographs that juxtapose details from 18th-century portrait paintings of informally arranged groups, architectural views of Pittsburgh, and candid images of contemporary people absorbed in urban daily life. Essay by Pierre-Lin Renie. Paperback, 8.75 x 11 in. 64 pages, 50 color, 8 b/w illustrations

This illustrated catalogue (including 15 colour plates) presents work by many of the greatest names in 19th-century French art - Corot, Courbet, Delacroix, Gericault, Ingres, Millet and Rodin - in addition to sheets by artists of the school of Lyon who are little-known outside France. The contents include an introduction by Philippe Durey, director of the museum, a complete description and an illustration of each sheet, biographical notes on 24 Lyonnais artists and a bibliography. The Musee des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, housed in a former Benedictine convent, is the most complete of the "small Louvres" that large French cities tried to create in the 19th century. Its Department of Drawings holds about 4,000 sheets from the Italian, Northern and especially the French schools. The 19th century is particularly well represented and it is from this rich collection that works were selected for an exhibit organised by the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh. A major theme of the catalogue is the influence of Ingres. He is represented by four drawings, including a pair of portraits of his favourite student, Hyppolyte Flandrin and his wife and a preparatory study for one of five versions of his famous "Raphael and La Fornarina". Flandrin is represented along with his two brothers, Paul and Auguste. In all, eight of the 45 artists in the catalogue were trained by Ingres or one of his students.
