Art & Water: new volume and book talk

The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Art’s new volume, Art & Water, features essays, personal meditations, and images that explore water in all its renewing, destructive, corrosive, and connecting power. Essayists use water to address hydrolatry practices in India; ritual objects and practices of enslaved Afro-Surinamers; traces of millstones in the architecture of Seville; and visualizations of sea-level change in the 19th-century United States.

‍

This is the second volume in the Art & series. Art & situates the study of art at the intersection of various disciplines. Each volume is published simultaneously in print and open-access digital editions. The series is published by the National Gallery of Art and distributed by Yale University Press. The first two volumes are now available for order.
