Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition "Jim Lutes: New Paintings" with accompanying essay "Jim Lutes: Paintings From Around the Way" by Hamza Walker.

Exhibition book for a show of paintings by Chicago/New York artist Ellen Lanyon at Valerie Carberry Gallery, April 29-July 2, 2005. Lanyon's 1960s paintings are distinctive for being based on photographs, contradicting the abstract expressionist movement of the post-WWII era. Introductory essay is by art historian Franz Schulze.

This book features a variety of examples from the Art Institute of Chicago's collection of works by Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913), the preeminent Mexican broadside artist. Broadsides, a mainstay of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century Mexican penny press, were colorful, graphically powerful handbills treating a variety of themes, produced by publishers in collaboration with graphic artists like Posada. A critical essay by Posada Project guest curator Donna Miliotes (featured in both English and Spanish) analyzes Posada and his art in the context of his biography, his era, his politics, and the genre of the broadside. Published in conjunction with a two-part Art Institute exhibit (June 24-September 25, 2006; October 7, 2006-January 17, 2007).
