Six New Art Books Explore Identity, Landscape, and Memory
A new series of six art books from Italy explores diverse themes, including the sense of discomfort within domestic spaces and architectural aesthetics. One standout title, "Morning Bus" by Greg Miller, documents twelve years of life for families in Connecticut post-Sandy Hook through poignant photography. "Fantastica l’arte" celebrates the late curator Luca Beatrice, spotlighting 54 artists for the upcoming 18th Quadriennale d’arte di Roma from October 2025 to January 2026. Other notable works include Élisabeth Roudinesco’s exploration of identity politics, a photographic tribute to Gabriele d'Annunzio’s estate, and a discussion of gender in art history by Griselda Pollock and Rozsika Parker.
