[ET]ITEM XA14…MARY CASSATT: PAINTER OF MODERN WOMEN Griselda Pollock $20

This radically new study redefines the American artist Mary Cassat's status in the Parisian avant-garde and in American art, placing her work in the wider context of 19th century feminism and art theory.  Cassatt's art explores a New Woman's perspective on the spaces of modernity:  at the theatre, in the drawing-room and garden, in the studio.  Admired by Degas -- who invited her to show with the Impressionists in 1877 -- Cassatt's work reveals her profound study of Old Masters and keen responses to contemporary French and Spanish painters.  Griselda Pollock puts a new emphasis on Cassatt's interest in Manet and her influence on American collections of French modernism.  She also argues that Cassatt's experimentation with etching and pastel from the late 1880s enabled her to represent children and women without sentimentality but with a deepening awareness of a complex psychological charge.

[ET]ITEM YE87…ART HISTORY AND ITS METHODS ed. by Eric Fernie $18

Critical essays culled from the writings of 27 significant art historians and writers comprise this scholarly collection. Fernie, the director of the Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London, promises to provide a "view of the methods which art historians have found appropriate or productive in studying the objects and ideas which constitute their discipline."  The chronologically arranged excerpts begin with Renaissance writer Giorgio Vasari's biographical approach and include Goethe's praise of Gothic style, Jacob Burckhardt's historical observations, Johann Joachim Winckelmann's reflections on the cultural context of art, Giovanni Morelli's study of attribution, Roger Fry's analysis of form, Erwin Panofsky's discussion of humanism, and Griselda Pollock's present-day feminist analysis.  Fernie's introductory overview of approaches to art history, his insightful comments preceding each essay, and a helpful glossary provide a substantial framework for the erudite writings.  Recommended for academic collections.

*[FA]ITEM FA01...THE CLUB OF QUEER TRADES G.K. Chesterton $2

Just one condition has to be met for a candidate to be admitted to the exclusive Club of Queer Trades.  But only someone endowed with the cunning of a criminal mind could hope to meet this condition: to attest to being the creator of a brand new occupation sufficiently lucrative to qualify as a living.  And what kind of mind would be able to identify such eccentrics?  Chesterton’s brilliant wit ingeniously satirizes the detective logic of a Sherlock Holmes in this collection of six stories.  Each story is complete in itself, but they are related, and together they weave another mystery which leads to its own startling climax.  ISBN 0881843202; 1987 paperback; very good condition.

This book was first published in 1905 and is now in the public domain.  You can read it for free on-line at http://www.ccel.org/ccel/chesterton/queertrades/files/queertrades.html
