Book Description
This autumn Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is staging a major exhibition of paintings by the internationally renowned artist Kees van Dongen (1877-1968). The thoughtful selection of eighty works -around sixty paintings- is being flown to Rotterdam from leading international collections. These highlights of his oeuvre come from both private and public collections, from as far afield as New York, Monaco, Geneva and Moscow. Many of the works have rarely been loaned out or have not been seen in the Netherlands for many years. A Finger on her Cheek, part of the museum's permanent collection, has recently been restored and can be seen for the first time in its original state from 18 September. The colours are now as brilliant as they were in 1910.

Book Description
This book reveals how everyday experiences of being ‘modern’ (c. 1920s-70s) indexed continuity and change in the transition from colonialism to independence and after in Southeast Asia. In the Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume recover modern times at the intersection of public and private domains, encompassing sex, religion, art, film, literature and urban space. The authors examine the conditions and representations of modernity, as shaped by elites and the governed, by actors, artists, novelists and non-fiction writers. Plural encounters in cities, through spiritual communities, art, high and popular culture saw Southeast Asians fashioning modern times in dialogue with global capitalism, consumer culture and second-wave feminism.

Book Description
In Picasso's Demoiselles, eminent art historian Suzanne Preston Blier uncovers the previously unknown history of Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, one of the twentieth century's most important, celebrated, and studied paintings. Drawing on her expertise in African art and newly discovered sources, Blier reads the painting not as a simple bordello scene but as Picasso's interpretation of the diversity of representations of women from around the world that he encountered in photographs and sculptures. These representations are central to understanding the painting's creation and help identify the demoiselles as global figures, mothers, grandmothers, lovers, and sisters, as well as part of the colonial world Picasso inhabited. Simply put, Blier fundamentally transforms what we know about this revolutionary and iconic work.

Book Description
A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR The ten years leading up to the First World War were the most exciting, frenzied and revolutionary in the history of art. They were the crucible of Modernism, when Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism and Abstract Art all burst forth. Simultaneously the Old Master market boomed, and art itself was politically weaponised in advance of approaching war. What was the conventional art against which Modernism was rebelling? Why did avant-garde artists become so obsessed with themselves? What persuaded a few bold collectors to buy difficult modern art? And why did others pay so much money for Old Masters? Art expert Philip Hook brings to bear a unique perspective on the art of a unique and extreme decade.

Book Description
Dutch Fauvist Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) exhibited in Paris from the early 1900s. He was shown at the controversial 1905 exhibition Salon d'Automne, which also featured works by Henri Matisse. Known for his use of rich, lush colors, he was a popular portraitist who added to his artist's income by selling satirical sketches to newspapers. His subjects included Arletty, Leopold III of Belgium, Louis Barthou, Sacha Guitry, Maurice Chevalier and Brigitte Bardot. This book is the catalogue to an exhibition organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Nouveau Muse National de Monaco. It is the first major retrospective of the art of Kees van Dongen in North America (January 22 to April 19, 2009) and brings together some 200 works including 100+ paintings, 40 rare drawings, prints and photographs; and, for the first time, a dozen Fauvist ceramics.
