The Woman in White: Joanna Hiffernan & James McNeill Whistler
$50.00
A fascinating look at the partnership of artist James McNeill Whistler and his chief model, Joanna Hiffernan, and the iconic works of art resulting from their life together
In 1860 James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) and Joanna Hiffernan (1839–1886) met and began a significant professional and personal relationship. Hiffernan posed as a model for many of Whistler’s works, including his controversial Symphony in White paintings, a trilogy that fascinated and challenged viewers with its complex associations with sex and morality, class and fashion, academic and realist art, Victorian popular fiction, aestheticism, and spiritualism.
This luxuriously illustrated volume provides the first comprehensive account of Hiffernan’s partnership with Whistler throughout the 1860s and 1870s—a period when Whistler was forging a reputation as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation. A series of essays discusses how Hiffernan and Whistler overturned artistic conventions and sheds light on their interactions with contemporaries, including Gustave Courbet, for whom she also modeled. Packed with new insights into the creation, marketing, and cultural context of Whistler’s iconic works, this study also traces their resonance for his fellow artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edgar Degas, John Singer Sargent, and Gustav Klimt.

Mickalene Thomas / Portrait of an Unlikely Space
$45.00
A close look at a new installation by renowned contemporary artist Mickalene Thomas that marks the first time she has engaged with early American history
Mickalene Thomas (b. 1971) has gained an international reputation for her dazzling portraits of Black women, as well as her large-scale installations that physically enfold viewers into lushly decorated, 1970s-inspired domestic interiors. This volume offers a window into Thomas’s unique, multifaceted approach and introduces a new living room–style installation by the artist, in which she creates, for the first time, a homelike environment reminiscent of the pre-abolition era. In addition to period-specific textile patterns and other decorative elements, her installation incorporates a selection of small-scale, early American portraits of Black women, men, and children—from miniatures and daguerreotypes to silhouettes on paper and engravings in books—as well as a group of works by Thomas and other contemporary artists in a wide range of media. The book’s essays examine both how Thomas’s engagement with early American history opens up previously unexplored and fertile ground for her artistic practice and how this project constructs evocative spaces (both physically and textually) in which the lives of early nineteenth-century Black Americans can be recognized on their own terms. With an artist’s statement and extensive photography that captures details of the installation, this presentation documents an exciting direction for one of today’s most acclaimed artists.

Manet to Bracquemond: Unknown Letters to and Artist
$45.00
With his radical usage of etching, painter Félix Bracquemond (1833–1914) influenced his contemporary Édouard Manet (1832–1883) significantly, an influence that is evident in Manet’s oeuvre. The relationship between the two artists, however, was even closer than their art reveals. As the countless letters sent by Manet to Bracquemond—unknown until surfacing at a sale in Paris in 2016—prove, the friendship between the two men was more profound than mere artistic influence.
The letters, collected here for the first time, are presented in their original French and edited by Jean-Paul Bouillon, whose lifelong occupation with Bracquemond’s life and work enabled him to situate the mostly undated letters in their proper time and context. To make these written documents more tangible, an introduction explores the friendship between the two men and highlights the principal subjects and themes around which the correspondence revolves, and the meticulous text is accompanied by nearly fifty color reproductions of the artwork referenced in the letters.
Many of the letters attest to the frequent, at times daily, contacts between the two men, who met in Manet’s studio and at dinners with Manet’s wife and mother. Others concern joint projects, such as the illustration of Émile Zola’s brochure issued on the occasion of Manet’s solo exhibition of 1867. After more than a century of intense scholarship, our knowledge of Manet still presents many gaps. The correspondence presented in Manet to Bracquemond proves an essential new resource for our understanding of the life and work of the artist.

The Railway Coaster
$18.00
Édouard Manet, The Railway, 1873, oil on canvas, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
The Gare Saint–Lazare, in 1873 the largest and busiest train station in Paris, is unseen in this painting. Advances in industrial technology and train travel, intrinsic to most contemporary depictions of the site, remain in Édouard Manet's painting the almost invisible background for a genre depiction of a woman and child. Confined to a narrow space backed by the black bars of an iron fence and isolated by clouds of steam sent up from a train passing below, Manet's two models are enigmatic presences. The woman is Victorine Meurent, Manet's favorite model in the 1860s, and the child was the daughter of a fellow painter who allowed Manet to use his garden to create The Railway. The composition is a complex contrapuntal apposition of the two figures: one clad in a white dress trimmed with a blue bow and the other dressed in dark blue trimmed with white; one with hair bound by a narrow black ribbon and the other with flowing tresses under a black hat; and one a child standing and looking at anonymous trains and buildings in the background and the other a seated adult staring forward to confront viewers directly.
Inspired by this famous Manet painting, this coaster of a detail from The Railway is sure to be a touchstone for your experience at the Isabella Stewart Gardner's Fall/Winter exhibition, Manet: A Model Family.

The Café-Concert Coaster
$18.00
Édouard Manet, The Café-Concert, ca. 1879, oil on canvas, The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD.
Édouard Manet was the quintessential "Painter of Modern Life," a phrase coined by art critic and poet Charles Baudelaire. In 1878-79, he painted a number of scenes set in the Cabaret de Reichshoffen on the Boulevard Rochechouart, where women on the fringes of society freely intermingled with well-heeled gentlemen. Here, Manet captures the kaleidoscopic pleasures of Parisian nightlife. The figures are crowded into the compact space of the canvas, each one seemingly oblivious of the others. When exhibited at La Vie Moderne gallery in 1880, this work was praised by some for its unflinching realism and criticized by others for its apparent crudeness.

$18.00
Édouard Manet, Madame Manet (Suzanne Leenhoff, 1829–1906) at Bellevue, 1880, oil on canvas, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
Despite the seemingly rapid brushwork and the summary treatment of detail, this painting was preceded by at least two drawings and an oil sketch. This is Édouard Manet's last portrait of his wife; it was painted at Bellevue, a suburb of Paris, where they spent the summer of 1880.

Plum Brandy Coaster
$18.00
Édouard Manet, Plum Brandy, c. 1877, oil on canvas, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
Édouard Manet's Plum Brandy depicts a woman - actress Ellen Andrée - seated alone at a table in a cafe, in a lethargic pose. She holds an unlit cigarette and her plum soaked in brandy appears untouched. Manet may have based the painting on observations at the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes on the Place Pigalle in Paris. However, the background - the decorative grille and its gold frame - does not match other depictions of the café, and suggests the painting was made in Manet’s studio, where he is known to have had a café-style marble table on iron legs. Manet uses a simple style: for example, the plum in its glass and the fingers of the woman's left hand are created with just a few dabs of colour.

The Plum Mini Pumpkin makes a statement all year round with its rich colors, fine details, and playfully coiled stem. Handblown at the Luke Adams Glassblowing Studio in Norwood, MA.
Each glass pumpkin is carefully handcrafted, making them all unique in color and shape. Pumpkins start as a hot blob of glass, gathered off a pipe from a 2,200-degree furnace. The glassblower blows into the pipe to trap a bubble. Pumpkin ridges are added by mold. The glassblower blows again to form the pumpkin base. A metallic glass stem is added to the top. Next, they "cool" overnight in a 900-degree oven. And just like that, a pumpkin is born!
