Résumé:
Finding one’s way with a map is a relatively recent phenomenon. In premodern times, maps were used, if at all, mainly for planning journeys in advance, not for guiding travelers on the road. With the exception of navigational sea charts, the use of maps by travelers only became common in the modern era; indeed, in the last two hundred years, maps have become the most ubiquitous and familiar genre of modern cartography. Examining the historical relationship between travelers, navigation, and maps, "Cartographies of travel and navigation" considers the cartographic response to the new modalities of modern travel brought about by technological and institutional developments in the twentieth century. Highlighting the ways in which the travelers, operators, and planners of modern transportation systems value maps as both navigation tools and as representatives of a radical new mobility, this collection brings the cartography of travel—by road, sea, rail, and air—to the forefront, placing maps at the center of the history of travel and movement.

Résumé:
One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway. Anyone who contemplates Piranesi's etchings will confront the existential nightmare of human existence and its infinite mysteries.

Résumé:
In a letter written near the end of his life, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) explained that he left his native Venice because no patrons were willing to support "the sublimity of [his] ideas." Residing in Rome, he became internationally famous as a printmaker and designer, among other numerous pursuits. While Piranesi’s notoriety stems from his etchings, he was also an accomplished draftsman who first developed much of his work in drawings. This is the most comprehensive, updated study of Piranesi’s drawings with over two hundred illustrations offering insight into his life and creative endeavors. Coinciding with the Morgan’s Spring 2023 exhibition, the volume diligently surveys the artist’s enduring work as an artistic force.

Résumé:
Patrick Maynard surveys the rich and varied practices of drawing, from the earliest markings on cave walls to the complex technical schematics that make the modern world possible, from cartoons and the first efforts of preschoolers to the works of skilled draftspeople and the greatest artists, East and West. Despite, or perhaps because of, its ubiquity, drawing as such has provoked remarkably little philosophical reflection. Nonphilosophical writing on the topic tends to be divided between specialties such as art history and mechanics. In this book, Maynard reveals the interconnections and developments that unite this fundamental autonomous human activity in all its diversity. Informed by close discussion of work in art history, art criticism, cognitive and developmental psychology, and aesthetics, Drawing Distinctions presents a theoretically sophisticated yet approachable argument that will improve comprehension and appreciation of drawing in its many forms, uses, and meanings.

Résumé:
"Chicago in maps" is an illustrated cartographic history of Chicago, known for centuries as the gateway city to the West. The documents reproduced here offer an unprecedented avenue to the city's past - a fascinating collective portrait of the evolution of one of America's great towns. Among the seventy-four maps featured, many are seminal exemplars of this timeless art form: the "Kinzie Map," which accompanied the Narrative of the Massacre of 1812; the Rand McNally "View of the World's Columbian Exposition" of 1893; Daniel Burnham's influential "Chicago Plan" of 1909, which epitomized the ambitions of the City Beautiful Movement; W. T. Stead's "Map of Sin"; and Bruce-Roberts' 1931 "Gangland Map" - a tongue-in-cheek "exposé" of a city populated by such powerful underworld figures as Al Capone, "Baby Face" Nelson, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and others, indicating various gang territories and warehouses.

Résumé:
Vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle, une nouvelle image de Rome apparaît dans la peinture. L'heure n'est plus aux visions sépulcrales, à la poétique des ruines, aux vedute livrées à l'Europe par Piranèse. Rome est désormais solaire, inhabitée, géométrique. Ce sont surtout les artistes étrangers qui imposent ce changement des regards : Français d'abord, dans le sillage de David, puis Hollandais, Allemands, Anglais, Suisses, Danois. L'absence des Italiens s'explique : plus dépendants que les autres par rapport aux lois du marché, ils se risquent moins à des solutions radicales, qui remettraient en cause l'idée encore bien enracinée de la "bonne peinture". Aux origines de la mutation: la redécouverte du dorique, dont les formes élémentaires et primaires sont rapidement prises comme modèles pour les arts figuratifs. Peintres et architectes, c'est l'autre innovation, travaillent côte à côte, étudient les mêmes monuments, fréquentent les mêmes lieux. L'histoire qui se dessine est alors celle d'une conceptualisation et d'une abstraction progressives des formes et des espaces, avec des solutions expressives qui apparaissent aujourd'hui d'une extraordinaire modernité. C'est un XVIIIe siècle peu connu, qui rejoint l'histoire européenne de la peinture de paysage, le long d'une ligne qui conduit d'Henri de Valenciennes à Jean-Baptiste Corot.
