Rineke Dijkstra

Rineke Dijkstra (b.1959) has achieved international acclaim with her large-scale photographs and films.

Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Other solo exhibitions have been held at the Stedelijk Museum, Tate Liverpool, Jeu de Paume, and recently at the

Museum Publications
Ashmolean Museum
Masterpieces by such artists as Poussin, Lorrain, Tiepolo and Guardi are featured in a new
catalogue of Baroque and later paintings in the collections of the
Ashmolean Museum
. Detailed entries accompany excellent color reproductions of some 180 paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, most of them by French, Italian or Spanish artists. The book is a fascinating study of often obscure but noteworthy canvases, many of which were previously unpublished. Catalogue author Catherine Whistler describes the featured works as "early or untypical works by major artists, unusual pictures with a strong scholarly appeal or fine paintings by little-known artists."

Minneapolis Institute of Art
In two recent exhibitions, the
Minneapolis Institute of Art displayed works by two contemporary Asian artists whose oeuvres blend traditional ink painting techniques with Western styles and themes.
Before his formal training in traditional ink painting and calligraphy, Chinese painter
Liu Dan (b. 1953) taught himself to draw by studying black-and-white photographs of European Old Master drawings. The still lifes and landscapes on display in a 2016 show reveal his considerable virtuosity and extensive knowledge of disparate artistic traditions. (Worldwide

Best known as an industrial designer, Japanese painter
Minol Araki
(1928-2010) was also a prolific amateur ink painter. Encompassing contrasting notions of East and West, design and art, and amateur and professional, his work reflects a deep engagement with traditional East Asian ink painting and an innovative reimagining of that tradition. (Worldwide
