What's New in June 2023

In this update, Grove Art publishes 9 new articles and 28 revisions, as well as 70 emendations as part of our regular corrections process. New scholarship in Grove Art comes from our ongoing project on Asian art, with new entries on Japanese painter Saburō Miyamoto, known for war propaganda paintings in the 1940s, and Taiwanese artist Fong Chung-ray, whose late work explores the philosophical and aesthetic connection between abstraction and a Buddhist worldview. Other new scholarship in Grove Art includes updates to articles on the Italian Renaissance, including biographies of Duccio, Fra Angelico, and Masaccio, the first Renaissance painter to organize his compositions with linear perspective while bringing realistic anatomical structure to his figures.  

Ten updated entries in Benezit cover important 16th century women artists, including miniaturist Catharina van Hemessen and portraitist Barbara Longhi, who trained in the Mannerist tradition of her father but developed a unique style, with a rich color palette and a monumentality to her figures. Benezit also recently published an interview between Valerie Cassel Oliver, Editor in Chief of Benezit, and American photographer Dawoud Bey. Bey discusses his influences, the changing nature of the art world, and his approach to making art that engages with the social world and the history of picture-making.
