Recognized as a major Pop artist in his day, Allan D’Arcangelo (1930–1998) has yet to receive the critical reevaluation of painters like Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist. His first monograph in nearly a decade introduces new audiences to his iconic paintings, particularly his celebrated visions of life on the road.Like Pop peers Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha, Allan D’Arcangelo incorporated mass-manufactured images in works that elevate scenes of everyday American life. While his work often features imagery from more familiar 1960s art—Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, smoking pin-up girls, Superman, Lucky Strike—it differs in the surreal elements he introduced to Pop tropes and romantic views of the American industrial landscape.D’Arcangelo once observed his “most profound experiences of landscape were looking through the windshield.” The artist brought a Pop sensibility to the tradition of landscape painting in a graphic style that touched on Minimalism, Precisionism, and Hard-edge painting. Often framed from the perspective of the driver’s seat, D’Arcangelo’s work captures the deeply American experience of flying down an endless road. D’Arcangelo’s signature scrolling landscape cut through with flashing signs is as familiar to road trippers as it is to video game racers.This comprehensive publication includes over 200 reproductions and three essays detailing what critic Dore Ashton describes as the “poetic awareness of the vastnesses both visible and invisible in American life [that] marked and distinguished [D’Arcangelo’s] work.” This book is edge stained.

Since the explosive publication of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Allan Gurganus has dazzled readers as "the most technically gifted and morally responsive writer of his generation" (John Cheever). He has been praised as "one of America's preeminent novelists, our prime conductor of electric sentences" (William Giraldi). Above all, Allan Gurganus is a seriously funny writer, an expert at evoking humor, especially in our troubled times.Now he offers nine classic tales--never before between covers. They attest to his mastery of the short story and the growing depth of his genius. Offering characters antic and tragic, Gurganus charts the human condition--masked and unmasked--as we live it now. "Once upon a time" collides with the everyday. We meet a mortician whose dedication to his departed clients exceeds all legal limits. We encounter a seaside couple fighting to save their family dog from Maine's fierce undertow. A virginal seventy-eight-year-old grammar school librarian has her sole erotic experience with a polyamorous snake farmer. A vicious tornado sends twin boys aloft, leaving only one of them alive. And, in an eerily prescient story, cholera strikes a rural village in 1849 and citizens come to blame their doomed young doctor who saved hundreds.These meticulously crafted parables recall William Faulkner's scope and Flannery O'Connor's corrosive wit. Imbuing each story with charged drama, Gurganus, a sublime ventriloquist, again proves himself among our funniest writers and our wisest.

"Allan Havis is one of the most gifted of our younger playwrights. His chief strength seems to me to be the way he shortens the distance between the private and the political. Quiet, intelligent, lyrical, his plays are that rarest of presences in the American theater: dramas that leave you with something to think about." Richard GilmanThis collection includes three full-length plays: A DARING BRIDE, THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE, and SAINTE SIMONE. A DARING BRIDE: A doomed love story about a United Nations official from Austria who falls for a high class escort working in Manhattan. THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE: Three sisters off the coast of Maine save the life of a mysterious stranger washed ashore. SAINTE SIMONE: Spinning a textured, twin narrative on the theme of possession, SAINTE SIMONE tracks a young New York woman of our era along side the cascading coincidences of Simone Weil from Europe's 1930s. "With THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE], acclaimed playwright Allan Havis has given us a post-AIDS Witches of Eastwick what with three attractive, psychically bonded sisters all seduced by the same half-man, half-devil. This time, though, there's little room for whimsy. These women and every other female in the small Maine town have been quarantined because all the men have died of a horrible plague. In fact, the strange, deformed, smooth-talking visitor is the first male to survive more than a few hours of contact with these women. Havis's moody drama always keeps us guessing, its poetic moments surprisingly potent and its intentions never so obscure as to lost the audience." On Stage"Allan Havis has fashioned a rollicking myth that might function as a rebuke for an errant feminism or as a wish fulfillment fantasy for a third sex. Whatever its purpose, it was great fun, marked by mystery and] wit." J Rudolf Abate, Stages

This first biography of the poet Allan Ramsay (1684-1758) takes the form of a historical novel set in the tumultuous world of early eighteenth-century Edinburgh. All the known facts of the Makar's shapeshifting life are here, interwoven with the author's original research and imaginative passages based on her extensive knowledge of the locations he inhabited. Sales of his masterwork, The Gentle Shepherd (1725), enable Ramsay to give up wig making and open a bookshop - and Britain's first subscription library - adjacent to St Giles Cathedral. Not content with this meteoric rise, and influenced by John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, the makar establishes his New Theatre in the High Street. But disaster soon strikes, forcing the poet ingeniously to re-invent himself with the support of family, friends and notables of the day, including the young David Hume; Clerk of Pennycuik; and the Countess of Eglintoun. Then, as now, the thorny subject of Union divides the country, before Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Tartan Army invades Edinburgh in 1745 and attempts to seize the castle from the garden of the Makar's 'country villa', the Guse-pye House on the slopes of Castlehill. There he dies, just before drainage of the Nor' Loch makes way for the construction of Edinburgh's New Town. 'This book is a tremendous achievement - so much research, so much information, but not only that: a seamless interweaving of fact and fiction to create an imagined life for the man which comes leaping out of every page with its authenticity intact.' Elizabeth Adam of Blairadam 'The author vividly evokes the hustle and bustle of eighteenth-century Edinburgh and restores to his rightful place the poet Allan Ramsay, too often eclipsed by his son, the painter of the same name. A great read.'Ray Perman, author of The Rise and Fall of the City of Money

After training at The Studio of the Santa Fe Indian School in the 1930s, the Chiricahua Apache artist Allan Houser (1914-1994) had both commercial and critical success as a painter and sculptor. Unlike some artists, he generally was not comfortable working in a painterly style but, believing that charcoals and pastels would enable him to intensify the freshness and spontaneity of his imagery, Houser began to focus on drawing. Houser built a dedicated drawing and design studio in Santa Fe in 1990 and was extremely prolific over the next four years. Allan Houser Drawings: The Centennial Exhibition offers a critical examination of Houser's career as a draughtsman, from his early career to the rich body of work he produced late in life. Both the publication and the accompanying exhibition coincided with the centennial of Houser's birth and a national celebration of the artist's legacy.
