SAN FRANCISCO, CA
.- Gallery Wendi Norris announced their publication of Alice Rahon, the first monograph on the French-Mexican painter-poet. This 128-page book is illustrated with highlights of her artwork from 1939 through the 1970s, forming a tangible, albeit limited, representation of her oeuvre.
Alice Rahon includes an introduction by Wendi Norris as well as new research explored in three ground-breaking essays. The worlds foremost expert on Rahons life and work, Tere Arcq, proffers ten, formative touchstones to greater understand Rahons creative output in Alice Rahon: Tracing the Marvelous. Her essay has been updated and translated from Spanish in its entirety from its original publication in 2009, on the occasion of Rahons solo exhibition at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico. Renowned Mexico City-based scholar and curator Daniel Garza Usabiaga makes Rahons work relevant to contemporary art practices and uncovers its relationship to Mexican modernism in From Hourglass Lying Down to Sleeping Woman: Alice Rahon, Mexico, and Dyns Dissident Surrealism. And Maggie Borowitz, a Fulbright-Hays scholar with a focus on art and feminism in Mexico City, explores the meaning and process of Rahons materiality in Figuring Differently: Surface and Substance in the Paintings of Alice Rahon.

Clarence H. White, one of the pioneers of the pictorialist style in photography, is having his first retrospective in more than a generation, a traveling show now on view at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College. Drawing heavily on holdings at the Princeton University Art Museum and at the Library of Congress,
Clarence H. White and His World, which originated at Princeton, surveys the period from 1895 to White’s death in 1925. His career spanned one of the most interesting periods in American photographic history, a crucible that encompasses Alfred Stieglitz’s Photo-Secession, the fledgling commercial era, and the rise of documentary “straight photography” in the twenties.
