Léonce Rosenberg’s Cubism

The Galerie L’Effort Moderne in Interwar Paris

Giovanni Casini

“Much more than a case study or monograph, Léonce Rosenberg’s Cubism shows how Rosenberg advocated for and developed a heterogeneous or &squo;cosmopolitan modernism.’ In doing so, Casini rewrites the standard account of Cubism between the wars as a nationalistically inspired ‘return to order’ centered on the Parisian avant-garde.”—Emily Braun, Distinguished Professor, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY

Re-envisioning the Everyday

American Genre Scenes, 1905–1945

John Fagg

“In embracing and rethinking ‘the genre of genre,’ Fagg restitutes ‘the small things that get swept aside by grand narratives.’ That alone would make this a pioneering volume, but it is in fact only one of many contributions of this scholarship.”—Leo Mazow, Louise B. and J. Cochrane Harwood Curator of American Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

Today there are more Christians in church on a given Sunday in China than anywhere else on the globe.

From Nomadism to Monarchy?

Revisiting the Early Iron Age Southern Levant

Edited by Ido Koch, Oded Lipschits, and Omer Sergi

Archaeological exploration in the Central Highlands of the Southern Levant conducted during the 1970s and 1980s dramatically transformed the scholarly understanding of the early Iron Age and led to the publication of From Nomadism to Monarchy: Archaeological and Historical Aspects of Early Israel, by Israel Finkelstein and Nadav Na’aman. This volume explores and reassesses the legacy of that foundational text.
