Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

This extraordinarily comprehensive, well-documented, biographical dictionary of some 1,500 photographers (and workers engaged in photographically related pursuits) active in western North America before 1865 is enriched by some 250 illustrations. Far from being simply a reference tool, the book provides a rich trove of fascinating narratives that cover both the professional and personal lives of a colorful cast of characters.

Jessie Arms Botke is recognized as one of the great decorative painters of her era, specializing in images of birds rendered with her signature gold leaf technique. Born in Chicago, she trained at the School of the Arts Institute of Chicago beginning in 1902. Botke took her first trip to the West in 1906, bartering several paintings for a round-trip ticket on the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway. In 1909, she embarked on a three-month trip to Europe, returning home to Chicago with renewed determination & focus. In 1911, Botke moved to New York & was hired by Albert Herter for a position at the Herter Looms. It was through one of Herter's commissions that Botke started painting images of birds. In 1915 she married Cornelis Botke, a Dutch artist living & working as an architectural renderer in Chicago. Both she & Cornelis often worked in concert on large commissions, & it was her commercial popularity that gave the couple its financial stability. After several years in Chicago, the couple moved in 1919 to Carmel, California. They briefly lived in Los Angeles in the late 1920s before buying property & building a ranch in Wheeler Canyon, Ventura County, California, in 1929. It was from this rather unlikely spot that Botke orchestrated her career while tending to the duties of the ranch. Maintaining an exhausting painting schedule throughout her lifetime, she exhibited at venues such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Academy of Western Painters, & the National Association of Women Painters & Sculptors. This catalogue, the first major monograph published on Botke, is approximately 100 pages & includes over 60 illustrations.

Nineteenth-century California was not a destination for the faint of heart, and Frenchmen are usually said to prefer their slippers to their traveling boots. Yet many visitors from France--starting in 1786 with legendary explorer Count de LapAA(c)rouse--made their way to the remote and beautiful territory, leaving enduring accounts and images of their experience. As France's troubled revolutionary era began in the 1840s, tens of thousands of Frenchmen journeyed to California's goldfields. Some found wealth, others freedom, and some death. Many remained in San Francisco, helping shape the city and make it French from the inside.

Praise for the first edition: "I have learned a great deal from his book about modern painting in general. [Loran] devotes his attention mainly to Cezanne's concrete means and methods, and he arrives thereby at an understanding of Cezanne's art more essential than any other I have seen in print."--Clement Greenberg, Nation
