Sequoia Miller, Magdalene Odundo: A Dialogue With Objects, Gardiner Museum/Princeton, 112pp,63 col illus., $49.95/£42 (hb), 10 September

Accompanying the Gardiner Museum (Toronto) show, this book will reveal the Kenya-born British ceramist’s use of classical forms while blending cultural and ethnographic sources “to give expression to the postcolonial experience”.

Susan Owens, The Story of Drawing: An Alternative History of Art, Yale, 256pp, 100 col and b/w illustrations, £25 (hb), 10 September

Author of Spirit of Place and Imagining England’s Past, Owens here offers a “glimpse over artists’ shoulders” to explore drawing, “the most demographic form of art-making”, from pre-history to the modern era.

Maria McLintock (ed.), Tim Burton: Designing Worlds, Design Museum, 368pp, 250 colour illustrations, £29.95 (pb), 25 October

A tie-in with the major exhibition of the film-maker’s drawings, paintings, sketchbooks and sculptural installations, alongside his sets and props, this publication is the first to explore the relationship between Burton’s cinematic creations and the world of design.

Diana Seave Greenwald (ed.), Manet: A Model Family, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum/Princeton, 224pp, 122 colour and b/w illustrations, $49.95/£42 (hb), 29 October

“All families are complicated, but the family of Édouard Manet… was more complicated than most.” This ground-breaking book and exhibition explore the importance of Manet’s domestic relationships to his life and art.

Juliet Carey and Abigail Green (ed.), Jewish Country Houses, Profile, 320pp, 300 colour illustrations, £45 (hb), 7 November

From Waddesdon Manor to Villa Tugendhat, this book investigates the pan-European world of the Jewish Country House—“its architecture, its relationships and its things”—with new photography by Hélène Binet.
