To the Collector Belong the Spoils rethinks collecting as an artistic, revolutionary, and appropriative modernist practice, which flourishes beyond institutions like museums or archives. Through a constellation of three author-collectors—Henry James, Walter Benjamin, and Carl Einstein—Annie Pfeifer examines the relationship between literary modernism and twentieth-century practices of collecting objects. From James''s paper hoarding to Einstein''s mania for African art and Benjamin''s obsession with old Russian toys, she shows how these authors'' literary techniques of compiling, gleaning, and reassembling constitute a modernist style of collecting that reimagines the relationship between author and text, source and medium. Placing Benjamin and Einstein in surprising conversation with James sharpens the contours of collecting as aesthetic and political praxis underpinned by dangerous passions. An apt figure for modernity, the collector is caught between preservation and transformation, order and chaos, the past and the future.Positing a shadow history of modernism rooted in collection, citation, and paraphrase, To the Collector Belong the Spoils traces the movement''s artistic innovation to its preoccupation with appropriating and rewriting the past. By despoiling and decontextualizing the work of others, these three authors engaged in a form of creative plunder that evokes collecting''s long history in the spoils of war and conquest. As Pfeifer demonstrates, more than an archive or taxonomy, modernist collecting practices became a radical, creative endeavor—the artist as collector, the collector as artist.

"Through meticulous scholarship and fine writerly craft, Gregory offers a riveting story of two creative geniuses at work."â• Slavonic and East European JournalAccessible and engaging, Antosha and Levitasha will appeal to scholars and general readers interested in art history, late nineteenth-century Russian culture, and biographies.Antosha and Levitasha is the first book in English devoted to the complex relationship between Anton Chekhov and Isaac Levitan, one of Russia''s greatest landscape painters. Outside of Russia, a general lack of familiarity with Levitan''s life and art has undermined an appreciation of the cultural significance of his friendship with Chekhov. Serge Gregory''s highly readable study attempts to fill that gap for Western readers by examining a friendship that may have vacillated between periods of affection and animosity, but always reflected an unwavering shared aesthetic.In Russia, where entire rooms of galleries in Moscow and St. Petersburg are devoted to Levitan''s paintings, the lives of the famous writer and the equally famous artist have long been tied together. To those familiar with the work of both men, it is evident that Levitan''s "landscapes of mood" have much in common with the way that Chekhov''s characters perceive nature as a reflection of their emotional state. Gregory focuses on three overarching themes: the artists'' similar approach to depicting landscape; their romantic and social rivalries within their circle of friends, which included many of Moscow''s leading cultural figures; and the influence of Levitan''s personal life on Chekhov''s stories and plays. He emphasizes the facts of Levitan''s life and his place in late nineteenth-century Russian art, particularly with respect to his dual loyalties to the competing Itinerant and World of Art movements.

Many art historians regard poststructuralist theory with suspicion; some even see its focus on the political dimension of language as hostile to an authentic study of the past. Keith Moxey bridges the gap between historical and theoretical approaches with the provocative argument that we cannot have one without the other. "If art history is to take part in the processes of cultural transformation that characterize our society," he writes, "then its historical narratives must come to terms with the most powerful and influential theories that currently determine the way in which we conceive of ourselves."After exploring how the insights offered by deconstruction and semiotics change our understanding of representation, ideology, and authorship, Moxey himself puts theory into practice. In a series of engaging essays accompanied by twenty-eight illustrations, he first examines the impact of cultural values on Erwin Panofsky''s writings. Taking a fresh look at work by artists from Albrecht Dürer and Erhard Schön to Barbara Kruger and Julian Schnabel, he then examines the process by which he generic boundaries between "high" and "low" art have helped to sustain class and gender differences. Making particular reference to the literature on Martin Schongauer, Moxey also considers the value of art history when it is reduced to artist''s biography. Moxey''s interpretation of the work of Hieronymus Bosch not only reassesses its intelligence and imagination, but also brings to light its pragmatic conformity to elite definitions of artistic "genius." With his compelling analysis of the politics of interpretation, Moxey draws attention to a vital aspect of the cultural importance of history.

Figure tutélaire de la sociologie des arts et de la culture, Raymonde Moulin nous a quittés en août 2019 après avoir produit une œuvre scientifique marquante qui a donné à ce domaine de la sociologie sa dynamique et sa force ainsi qu’une place éminente au sein de la discipline sociologique elle-même.L’organisation du colloque de Marseille « Sociologie de l’Art » en 1985 (actes publiés en 1986 puis réédités en 1999) a de ce point de vue été un moment essentiel et fondateur qui a donné une structuration solide à la recherche dans cet espace de la sociologie française à la suite des travaux de Francastel, Bastide, Goldmann, Duvignaud, Bourdieu et autres Passeron.C’est pourquoi notre revue, qui lui doit aussi beaucoup, lui rend aujourd’hui hommage, en deux volumes doubles : Figures d’une pionnière (OPuS 31-32) & Au-delà de la valeur (OPuS 33-34).Raymonde Moulin en était une fidèle abonnée et ne ménageait ni ses conseils, ni ses critiques pour en améliorer le contenu et le fonctionnement dans un soutien attentif et constant, avec rigueur et sans complaisance.Nous remercions les contributeurs à cet hommage qui souhaite souligner et éclairer la place éminente de l’œuvre scientifique de Raymonde Moulin, tout comme sa contribution à la gestion de la recherche, au sein de la sociologie des arts et de la culture bien sûr, mais aussi au cœur de la sociologie tout court.

Black artisans forging their own version of freedomAs the companion to the exhibition, Fighting for Freedom places Black craftspeople at the forefront of American history, from before the Revolutionary War through the Civil War and beyond Reconstruction. Delving into diverse narratives of creativity, resilience, and triumph in the quest for freedom, this book underscores the evolution of freedom through the lens of material culture—by exploring how the very concept of freedom was shaped and redefined by enslaved and free craftspeople who relentlessly fought for their rights and the recognition of their humanity.Featuring ten essays by leading historians, museum curators, and material culture scholars and more than seventy color photographs of Black artistry, including paintings, metalwork, woodwork, pottery, and furniture, this book vividly illustrates how Black men and women persistently sought tangible expressions of liberty which have endured as symbols of their creators’ legacies in the ongoing struggle for freedom.Contributors include Lauren Applebaum, Robell Awake, Lydia Blackmore, Aleia M. Brown, R. Ruthie Dibble, Philippe L. B. Halbert, Jennifer Van Horn, Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley, and Susan J. Rawles.Exhibition dates:Daughters of the American Revolution Museum (Washington, DC): March 28, 2025-December 31, 2025North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh, NC): Winter/Spring 2026Gibbes Museum of Art (Charleston, SC): Summer 2026-Spring 2027Historic New Orleans Collection (New Orleans, LA): Summer/Fall 2027Tennessee State Museum (Nashville, TN): Winter/Spring 2028Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (Winchester, VA): Summer/Fall 2028
