This is the largest selection of Hans Christian Andersen's visual art ever presented in one book. Without having had any knowledge of Andersen's visual art, van Gogh was convinced that only a visual artist could write the way Andersen did. In a warm, precise style, Heltoft emphasizes the connection between Andersen's writing and his visual art, and presents the book's wealth of illustrative material in an entirely original way within a framework of excerpts from Andersen's works, correspondence and diary entries. We cannot help being moved by the originality and charm of Andersen's visual art, but not until modernism's expansion of the concept of art have we come to understand the values in his naive drawings, surrealistic collages and subtly executed paper cuts. They are all based on a pronounced ability to observe and an uncompromising artistic instinct. By means of modern reproduction techniques, the drawings in this book have been restored to their original graphic beauty, and the festive coloring of the paper cuts has been re-created. New material has been added, and works that have been lost have now been reproduced from the author's archives and in this way serve to make the book additionally interesting. It represents the best starting-point for an appreciation of Andersen's gifts as a visual artist.

The jubilees of the two centuries in question, ranging from 1550 to 1750 and comprising styles extending from the Late Renaissance to the Late Baroque, are not examined in terms of their theological or religious value, but as occasions for renewing and enhancing the image of Rome. This was the objective of the Papal Court, but it also involved fraternities and private religious bodies, as well as artists, collectors, and scholars, both religious and secular, of the most varying backgrounds.

During the 1930’s, American art experienced an unprecedented and still largely unequalled, surge of creative excitement. Thousands of professional artists, some already known, and most new to the scene,men and - for the first time in this country’s history - an almost equally large group of women, equipped with a dizzying mix of ethnic and econimic backgrounds, were working together to create artworks instended for the enjoyment and education of the public. These artists expressed themselves in Murals, sculptures, decorative patterns, bas-reliefs, and almost any other medium they could command.

A catalogue of the superb collection owned by Ambassador John Loeb, Jr. His aim here was to bring the charm and special beauty of Danish art nearer to the forefront of American consciousness. The collection offers examples from the era of Neo-Classicism, usually associated with the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, the Golden Age of Danish Biedermeier, naturalism of c. 1830-50, as well as the Danish Impressionist art. While many of the names of artists and much of this material will be new to some audiences, the paintings are readily accessible, even familiar to viewers conditioned by 19th century American art. There is much to discover here, from the crisp and colorful floral still lifes of J.L. Jensen to the hushed poise and perfectly resolved geometry of Vilhelm Hammershøi’s domestic interiors. Other artists include among many Vilhelm Kyhn, L.A.Ring, P.S. Krøyer, Jens Juel, Nicolai Abildgaard, J.L.Jensen, Carl Bloch, Christen Dalsgaard, Carl Holsøe, Lauritz Tuxen, Brendekilde, Peter Ilsted, Paul Fischer, Julius Exner, Anna Ancher, Sophie Henck.

Islamic miniature paintings have historically been produced as both illustrations for books and as discrete works intended to be kept in an album. The techniques used in their making share similarities with the Byzantine tradition of miniature painting and have recently shown up in some contemporary artists' work as well--including Shahzia Sikander's. For the Privileged Few is published on the occasion of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's thorough Islamic miniature exhibition, spanning from the thirteenth through the nineteenth centuries, which originated at The David Collection in Copenhagen--famed for its selection of Islamic art. With 185 full-color images, most of them plates, this volume is an important addition to the existing scholarship on the subject. Text by David Collection Director Kjeld von Folsach explains the primacy of this group of artworks--which includes both book illustrations and discrete paintings from the last 800 years.
