Her portraits of the era's major cultural figures, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Belushi, and Susan Sontag, have contributed to the scene's mythic status. Against this backdrop, Resnick also produced a significant body of work that engaged with the history of art, took a humorous approach to conceptual art and feminism, and proposed new ideas for what photography could be. Spanning the artist's career, this richly illustrated volume explores Resnick's early influences and education at Cooper Union and CalArts, discusses her series and photobooks such as See and Re-visions, and situates the artist's work within the history of contemporary art.

Nearly 200 illustrated artworks—from ivory prayer beads and gem-encrusted jewelry to exquisitely carved table sculptures and printed imagery—present us with an aspect of this era that is at once darker and more familiar than we might have expected. In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, Renaissance artists turned to poignant, often macabre imagery to address the critical human concern of acknowledging death, while striving to create a personal legacy that might outlast it. The essays gathered here discuss the development and significance of this transformative art of the past, while exploring themes that are still relevant today: how does one navigate the implicit tension between mortality and morality and seek to balance individual pleasure with the pursuit of a greater good? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Perkinson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Peter M.

But, intriguingly, macabre images proliferated in precisely this period: unsettling depictions of Death personified, of decaying bodies, of young lovers struck down in their prime. While the explicit goal of these memento mori was to remind viewers of life’s fragility and convince them of the urgent need to turn away from earthly pursuits, many of these objects also embraced the material pleasures of life, as they were elegantly crafted and composed of luxurious materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorbid themes run riot in the remarkable array of artworks featured in \u003cem\u003eThe Ivory Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e. Nearly 200 illustrated artworks—from ivory prayer beads and gem-encrusted jewelry to exquisitely carved table sculptures and printed imagery—present us with an aspect of this era that is at once darker and more familiar than we might have expected. In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, Renaissance artists turned to poignant, often macabre imagery to address the critical human concern of acknowledging death, while striving to create a personal legacy that might outlast it. The essays gathered here discuss the development and significance of this transformative art of the past, while exploring themes that are still relevant today: how does one navigate the implicit tension between mortality and morality and seek to balance individual pleasure with the pursuit of a greater good? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Perkinson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Peter M.
