The end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes worn as brooches or pendants that were exchanged as tokens of affection by lovers or family members. Growing out of the cult of sentimentality, the vogue for eye portraits was short-lived, and by the early 1800s eye miniat.ures had faded into oblivion. Unearthing these trinkets in *Treasuring the Gaze*, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes that the rage for eye portraits-and their abrupt disappearance-reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision that has vanished from our view.

Drawing on Alois Riegl, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gaston Bachelard, Melanie Klein, and others, Grootenboer unravels this knot, discovering patterns of looking and strategies for showing that have remained unseen. By looking back at their viewers, eye protraits articulate the operation of our gaze not as a mere reflection of what we see or how we see it, but by producing us, as viewing subjects, against the spectacle of the world. Always returning the looks they receive, eye portraits create a reciprocal mode of viewing that Grootenboer calls intimate vision. Weaving in stories about eye miniatures -including the role one played in the scandalous affair of Mrs. Fitzherbert and the Prince of Wales, a portrait of Lord Byron's mesmerizing gaze, and the loss and longing incorporated in eye miniatures that cry-Grootenboer shows that intimate vision brings the gaze of another deep into the heart of private experience.
With a host of fascinating imagery from this eccentric and mostly forgotten yet deeply private keepsake, *Treasuring the Gaze* questions the traditional subject-object relationship in art by ultimately showing how painting is meant to see as much as be seen.

A collection of portraits of blind people and their reflections upon beauty. "I met people who were born blind. Who had never seen. I asked them what their image of beauty was," Sophie Calle.

This beautiful volume focuses on a five-year period in Elizabeth Peyton's evolving career to suggest not only a visual chronicle of an age, its heroes, heroines, and interests, but also of an individual s life that of Peyton herself. Elizabeth Peyton's work has been acclaimed since the early 1990s, when she began exhibiting her intimate portraits of artists, musicians, historical figures, and friends. This new volume, prepared by the artist in collaboration with designer Brendan Dugan, founder of Karma bookstore and gallery, presents a concentrated view of a period bookended by two exhibitions in Brussels, one in 2009 and the second in 2014, a time of introspection, and the development of a more personal painterly language. This phase of Peyton's work is about a new realism and a considered situating of her interests and passions in relation to her own working practice. We see her range expand to take in lush still lifes composed of books, flowers, and fragmentary interiors; expressive, blooddrenched scenes drawn from Richard Wagner's operas; and many magnificent and subtle portraits of peers and mentors, historical or present-day. From David Bowie to celebrated tenor Jonas Kaufmann; from Delacroix and Giorgione to Peyton's artist peers such as Matthew Barney and Klara Liden; from 'Friday Night Lights' star Taylor Kitsch to tattoo artist Scott Campbell, as well as numerous self-portraits, her work is about narrowing the distance between the self and the object of fascination. "They are people expressing what it is to be human. Most art that s any good is trying to do that trying to put a voice to feeling. And in particular, the feeling of their time," writes Peyton.
