      The book presents a compelling dialogue between David Goldblatt and Santu Mofokeng, two pivotal South African photographers.

In contrast, Mofokeng captures the richness of everyday life, spirituality, and community beyond the typical narratives of violence. Tamar Garb's innovative approach intertwines their photographs, offering fresh perspectives through themes like "Earthscapes," "Edifices," and "Sociality," encouraging a reexamination of their artistic legacies.

      ‘Figures and Fictions’ showcases the work of 17 South African photographers active between 2000 and 2010, capturing the shift from post-democratic euphoria. As traditional categories of ‘black and white’ evolve, the vision of a post-racial ‘rainbow nation’ remains complex and challenging. This collection features both established figures and emerging talents, reflecting a dynamic political landscape. Notable contributors include David Goldblatt and Santu Mofokeng, alongside mid-career artists like Guy Tillim and Jodi Bieber, as well as newcomers such as Zanele Muholi and Kudzanai Chiurai. The exhibition and accompanying book highlight the innovative and thought-provoking nature of contemporary South African photography. Tamar Garb, a prominent art historian and head of the History of Art department at University College London, has extensively explored themes of portraiture, race, and representation in her work. Her key publications include studies on modernity and women's portraits in 19th-century France. Garb has also curated significant exhibitions, including contemporary South African art at the Haunch of Venison Gallery and a major Gauguin exhibition at Tate Modern. Through this project, the rich tapestry of South African photography is presented, offering insights into identity and societal change.

      Exploring the evolution of French female portraiture from the early nineteenth to the early twentieth century, Tamar Garb examines how these artworks reflect changing social attitudes and aesthetic values. Focusing on six seminal pieces by artists like Ingres, Manet, and Matisse, she traces the genre's transition from idealized representations to a challenge against traditional depictions. The analysis highlights the pivotal role of Picasso's Cubism, particularly in "Ma Jolie," as a turning point in the portrayal of women in art.

      Modernidade e Modernismo

      A Pintura Francesa no Século XIX

      Neste livro cinco autores abordam aspectos essenciais na formação de movimentos, como o realismo, o impressionismo e o pós-modernismo, em Paris, entre 1848 e 1900. Analisam os argumentos em favor e em oposição a uma "história social da arte", que compreende as representações como produtos de práticas sociais demarcadas e destacam aspectos pouco estudados, como a influência do feminismo na pintura impressionista.
