Image and Enterprise: The Photographs of Adolphe Braun

Cleveland Museum of Art; Adolphe Braun; Maureen C. O'Brien; Mary Bergstein; Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art

Ever since their creation in nineteenth-century France, Adolphe Braun's photographic images have been uniformly praised for their beauty. Braun was a trained textile designer who initially used the nascent technology of photography to document the French landscape and architecture, traditional regional costume, animal breeds and husbandry, and the events and legacies of the Franco-Prussian war. Braun's opulent bouquets of flowers are at once lush, delicate, and richly tonal; his landscapes are breathtaking and immediate; his animal studies arresting; his war photos dramatic and unrelenting. He created thousands of visual souvenirs of pristine alpine sites and would ultimately become one of the first to reproduce works of art photographically for a mass audience. Although the creation of "fine art" was not his intention, Braun produced work that was (and still is) synonymous with superb technical and artistic resolution, as he sought to identify popular uses for the process of photography. Through Braun's provocative work, Image and Enterprise explores the origins of contemporary visual communication--from the evolution of photography to the means of dissemination to the public. The introductory essays give an overview of Braun's photographic enterprise, his use of new technology, and the political and economic climate in which his business flourished. Other essays examine discrete aspects of Braun's work in the context of contemporary social, economic, and cultural history. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Bugatti

Cleveland Museum of Art; Henry H. Hawley; Mickey Mishne; Veronique Fromanger Des Cordes

Those who know the name Bugatti think immediately of cars. Connoisseurs of automobiles consider Bugattis among the greatest masterworks of automobile design. What these specialists probably don't realize, however, is that the great car designs of the late 1930s relate to a tradition of artistry and design including sculpture, drawings, furniture, and decorative objects that extends well into the previous century. Three generations of the Bugatti family, working in Milan and Paris, made important contributions to the visual arts. Carlo Bugatti (1856-1940) was a designer first of furniture and later of metalwork. Carlo's second son Rembrandt (1884-1916) became famous as a sculptor of animals, while Ettore (1881-1947) was essentially a self-trained automotive engineer who eventually became a successful manufacturer of racing, sport, and touring cars characterized by the ovoid arched shape of thier radiator grills. Ettore's son Jean (1909-1939) designed distinctive automobiles, and it is his work that has most significantly contributed to the fame of the Bugatti name today.

Edward Weston: Photography and Modernism

Cleveland Museum of Art; Theodore Stebbins; Karen E. Quinn; Edward Weston; Leslie Furth; Karen Quinn; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Boston Museum of Fine Arts

This third and culminating volume in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts' outstanding series on Edward Weston (1886-1958) examines Weston's role in the modernist movement. Comparative illustrations of work by Picasso, Brancusi, O'Keeffe, Pollock, and other artists are included to provide a deeper understanding of these influence's. Following an introduction by Theodore Stebbins, three sections of photographs with accompanying essays demonstrate the entire range of Weston's work: still lifes, work from the Mexican period, his landmark work with shells and peppers, small-format portraiture and fragmentary nudes, the classic 1930s series of nudes and dunes, and his late, abstract landscapes. This catalogue features many previously unpublished photographs from the renowned Lane Collection. Vintage prints -- all printed by Weston himself -- were used to create the exquisite tritone reproductions in this masterful book.

Masterworks of Asian Art

Cleveland Museum of Art; Michael Cunningham

From the time of Marco Polo's journeys and the legendary Silk Road, the ancient cultures of Asia have fascinated and enriched the West. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, interest in Asian art and thought has never been more intense. Presented here are the highlights of the Cleveland Museum of Art's celebrated collection of Asian art, the range and quality of which have been made possible by a steadfast commitment that dates from the founding of the museum in 1913. Demonstrating a breadth of vision that was unusual for the time, the museum sought not only the arts of China and Japan, then beginning to acquire a presence in America's young museums, but also those of Korea, India, and Southeast Asia. In the intervening three-quarters of a century this interest was cultivated by a series of generous collectors and gifted curators, including the museum's third director, Sherman E. Lee, who gradually built one of the premier collections of Asian art in the West. Masterworks of Asian Art presents for the first time more than one hundred of the finest objects in full color, including Chinese paintings and textiles, traditional Japanese ink-paintings and medieval stoneware, and superb examples of Cambodian and early Indian stone sculpture. The commentaries reflect the latest scholarship in the field, and an introduction by Michael R. Cunningham, curator of Japanese and Korean Art, recounts the history of the collection's formation in detail.
