Book Description
A wide-ranging study of Louisiana landscape painting that places art from the region into a broader national and global context With its dense forests and swamps, Louisiana captured the imagination of writers and painters who viewed its landscape as a fascinating, untamed wilderness. Starting in the 1820s when French émigrés brought the Barbizon school to New Orleans, the state attracted artists from Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the greater United States who shared ideas and experimented with approaches to the enigmatic scenery. Although Louisiana was in many ways an artists' paradise, the land also bore the scars of colonialism and the forced migrations of slavery. Inventing Acadia explores this complex history, following the rise of Louisiana landscape art and situating it amid the cultural shifts of the 19th century. The authors engage not only with artworks but also with the issues that informed them--representations of race and industry, international trade, and climate change. These issues are then carried into the present with a look at the work of contemporary artist Regina Agu. Inventing Acadia establishes Louisiana's role in creating a new vision for American art and highlights the continued relevance of landscape and representation.

Book Description
In Art of Penobscot Bay, brothers Carl and David Little explore the beauty and breadth of this legendary body of water through the work of more than one hundred artists. The book includes an impressive line-up, from earlier painters like Fitz Henry Lane, Marsden Hartley, and John Marin to contemporaries such as Yvonne Jacquette, Lois Dodd, and Siri Beckman. In responding to the picturesque towns and harbors that circle Penobscot Bay and the islands scattered across its waters, the featured artists draw on a multitude of styles and approaches to fulfill their individual visions. Their sense of place may be as specific as the breakwater on remote Matinicus Island or as broad as a sweeping coastal vista. Within these pagers, seascapes, images of working waterfronts, all manner of vessels, and harbor scenes abound. An important visual exploration of a beloved region in Maine and a popular place to visit. Art of Penobscot Bay is the fourth collaboration between Carl and David Little. Their previous books focused on art inspired by Mount Katahdin, Acadia National Park, and Portland, Maine

Book Description
When the Edmonton Museum of Arts opened in 1924 it was only the second art gallery in Canada west of Toronto. Spaces and Places for Art tells the story of the financial and ideological struggles that community groups and artist societies in booming frontier cities and towns faced in establishing spaces for the cultivation of artistic taste. Mapping the development of art institutions in western Canada from the founding of the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1912 to the 1990s heyday of art museums in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, Anne Whitelaw provides a glimpse into the production, circulation, and consumption of art in Canada throughout the twentieth century. Initially dependent on paintings loaned from the National Gallery of Canada, art galleries across the western part of the country gradually built their own collections and exhibitions and formed organizations that made them less reliant on institutions and government agencies in Ottawa. Tracing the impact of major national arts initiatives such as the Massey Commission, the funding programs of the Canada Council, and the policies of the National Museums Corporation, Whitelaw sheds light on the complex relationships between western Canada and Ottawa surrounding art. Building on extensive archival research and in-depth analysis of government involvement, Spaces and Places for Art is an invaluable explanation of the roles of cultural institutions and cultural policy in the emergence of artistic practice in Canada.
