Summary:
''Truth to Nature,'' a rallying cry for those artists and critics aiming to reform art-making practices in Great Britain over the course of the nineteenth century, bound together artists as diverse as Pre-Raphaelite John Everett Millais, photographer P. H. Emerson, and bohemian modernist Augustus John. In order to understand ''truth,'' these artists turned to the rising disciplines of science, which offered new insights into physical phenomena, vision, and perception. Drawing on sources ranging from artists' letters to scientific treatises, ''Nature's Truth'' illuminates the dynamic relationship between art and science throughout the nineteenth century. Helmreich's study shows that this relatively short-lived movement had a profound effect on modern British art and changed conceptions of truth and the role of art in modern society.

Summary:
This is the first book to approach Russian avant-garde art from the perspective of the anti-art canons associated with the international Dada movement. The works described and documented in Russian Dada were produced at the height of Dada's flourishing, between World War I and the death of Vladimir Lenin—who, incidentally, was a frequent visitor to Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, the founding site of Dada. Like the Dadaists, the Russian avant-gardists whose works appear in this volume strove for internationalism, fused the verbal and visual, and engaged in eccentric practices and pacifist actions, including outrageous performances and anti-war campaigns. ''Russian Dada'', which accompanies a major exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, includes 250 images and essays by leading art historians.
