Book Description
Highlights from this small but exceedingly well-curated museum on the Gulf Coast of Florida, which boasts a world-class encyclopedic art and photography collection. The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a hidden gem, housing a well-respected and comprehensive art collection with more than 18,000 objects—a place where visitors can see a Monet, Vigée Le Brun, and a Tibetan Buddha from the fourteenth century all in one place. Founded by Margaret Acheson Stuart (1896–1980), the museum reflects her vision of providing outstanding examples of world art in an inviting, elegant setting. More than 200 works of art from all areas of the permanent collection are highlighted here, including examples by Morisot, Rodin, O’Keeffe, Kehinde Wiley, and Edward Steichen, as well as ancient Greek and Roman, Asian, African, Mesoamerican, and self-taught art, and decorative arts, including Tiffany glass. A special section is devoted to the photography collection, which is one of the largest and most respected in the Southeast. An introduction about the museum is accompanied by newly researched texts about each featured work, written by members of the museum’s curatorial staff and guest authors.

Book Description
Accompanied by a traveling exhibition, this book on the Bahamian artist’s textile portraits serves as a love letter to Black women: their style, strength, vulnerabilities, and beauty. This debut of the 29-year-old Bahamian-born artist aims to redefine the often-politicized Black body, with portraits made in a range of textile-based techniques, such as embroidery and appliqué, celebrating Black women. Gio Swaby’s intimate portraits are unique, highly personal figurative works made from an array of colorful fabrics and intricate, freehand lines of thread on canvas that explore the intersections of Blackness and womanhood. Illustrated with 80 works in full color that span from 2017 to 2021, this is the first book on this contemporary feminist artist who is a rising star in the world of textiles and portraiture. According to Swaby, “I wanted to create a space where we could see ourselves reflected in a moment of joy, celebrated without expectations, without connected stereotypes.” Writers and scholars with multiple points of view take on Swaby’s work and delve into her place within contemporary Black art.

Book Description
This catalogue of the Coptic Textiles in the Collection of Mediterranean Antiquities at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts provides a detailed analysis of 64 textiles from both historical and weaving practice points of view. This approach provides a fuller understanding of the cultural situation in which such textiles were produced and circulated. Dr. Landry’s experience of over 40 years of weaving and scholarship highlights the elements of knowledge and skill held and applied by weavers in Antiquity. This perspective complements and expands on the focus on imagery usually provided by art historians regarding textiles of this period. This catalogue shows how much more cultural information can be accessed when the technical, economic, and practical character of both production and use are adequately integrated into the study of material artefacts.
