Excerpt from Year Book of the Art Societies of New York, 1898-1899 This volume presents a review of the work of the most important art societies of New York for the year ending June, 1899. It is designed to preserve, in permanent form, a record of their proceedings and a summary of their chief undertakings. It has been prepared with special reference to the outside public, from which, more and more, these societies are drawing their support, and whose interest is constantly being heightened by the work they are pursuing. The delay that has attended the publication of the volume has been due to the introduction of this wholly new work by a number of separated societies, and the labor involved in preparing a perma nent record of work which it was not proposed to retain in this form at the time the work was done. Each Society is directly responsible for the matter that relates to it, which in each case was prepared by its Secretary or a Committee appointed for this purpose. The book is, therefore, an official publication, in which each society speaks for itself. The editor's grateful thanks are due Mr. Frederick S. Lamb.

This volume assesses how current approaches to iconology and iconography break new ground in understanding the signification and reception of medieval images, both in their own time and in the modern world. Framed by critical essays that apply explicitly historiographical and sociopolitical perspectives to key moments in the evolution of the field, the volume’s case studies focus on how iconographic meaning is shaped by factors such as medieval modes of dialectical thought, the problem of representing time, the movement of the viewer in space, the fragmentation and injury of both image and subject, and the complex strategy of comparing distant cultural paradigms. The contributions are linked by a commitment to understanding how medieval images made meaning; to highlighting the heuristic value of new perspectives and methods in exploring the work of the image in both the Middle Ages and our own time; and to recognizing how subtle entanglements between scholarship and society can provoke mutual and unexpected transformations in both. Collectively, the essays demonstrate the expansiveness, flexibility, and dynamism of iconographic studies as a scholarly field that is still heartily engaged in the challenge of its own remaking. Along with the volume editors, the contributors include Madeline H. Caviness, Beatrice Kitzinger, Aden Kumler, Christopher R. Lakey, Glenn Peers, Jennifer Purtle, and Elizabeth Sears.
