The Women Who Shaped Modern Art in Britain' tells the stories of determined women like Helen Sutherland, Margaret Gardiner, Myfanwy Piper and others, who helped to change the course of British art in the middle of the last century. Whether as friends, supporters, collectors, curators or galleristes, they played a central role in determining the emergence of artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Piet Mondrian, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood and Francis Bacon. Hitherto overshadowed by their male counterparts, it was their vigour and passion that set London on course as an art metropolis, the equal of Paris and New York in the 1940s-60s --

"This study examines the five extant large Imperial cameos of the Early Roman Empire as a coherent whole, revealing that these gemstones were a referential group with complex interrelationships. Power and Propaganda in the Large Imperial Cameos of the Early Roman Empire offers a feminist theory that explains why large imperial cameos were in dialogue and why the medium appears with Octavian and disappears by the Flavian dynasty: female imperial family members commissioned them to advance their husbands and sons. Written for a general art historical audience and as a complement to emperor-commissioned public art, this volume is an introduction to large imperial cameos and reveals their importance for the understanding of Roman art and iconography and the implications of its theorized imperial female patronage. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, classics, and archaeology"--

"Bij weinigen bekend, maar niet minder invloedrijk: Jo van Gogh-Bonger (1862-1925), de vrouw van Theo en schoonzus van Vincent van Gogh. Toen de broers kort na elkaar overleden, ontfermde zij zich vanaf 1891 over Van Goghs artistieke nalatenschap en wijdde de rest van haar leven aan de verspreiding en bekendmaking ervan. Ze publiceerde zijn brieven, organiseerde tentoonstellingen in binnen- en buitenland en verkocht strategisch aan particulieren en invloedrijke kunsthandelaren. Voor de reputatie van Van Goghs kunst waren haar inspanningen cruciaal. Maar ook in andere opzichten leidde ze een boeiend leven. Niet alleen was ze bevriend met vooraanstaande schrijvers en kunstenaars, ze was ook actief binnen de Sociaal-Democratische Arbeiderspartij en nauw betrokken bij de ontluikende vrouwenbeweging. Ze had één zoon, die vernoemd was naar zijn oom: hij was de tweede belangrijke Vincent in haar leven. Op basis van rijk bronnenmateriaal, waaronder niet eerder gepubliceerde dagboeken, documenten en brieven, schetst Hans Luijten het veelzijdige leven van deze geëngageerde vrouw die zich in de decennia rond 1900 daadkrachtig manifesteerde in een door mannen gedomineerde wereld. 'Alles voor Vincent' is een liefdevol geschreven biografie, die ook nieuw licht werpt op de waarderingsgeschiedenis van Van Gogh".
