This is the first book to focus exclusively on what Grace Hartigan terms her "art history paintings": paintings specifically inspired by works culled from her far-ranging interests in art of the past. The essay and interview with the artist consider Hartigan's response to compositional ideas and deliberate reinterpretations of famous "masterworks" of the west. Illustrations include a grouping of recent paintings in which Hartigan has borrowed figures, poses, and gestures appropriated from a variety of sources. Sharon L. Hirsh is Charles A. Dana Professor of Art History at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. She is the author of "The Fine Art of the Gesture: Drawings by Ferdinand Hodler" among other books.
