Dear Colleagues in the OER Community,
Are you looking for examples of what an image-intensive open textbook for the fine arts
might look like in Pressbooks? After exploration and customization, we’re especially
excited to share with you the following new open textbook published at Concordia
University Library:
Title: Creating the Modern: Intersections of Art & Society in the Nineteenth Century
Authored by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki
For the course: ARTH 366 Studies in 19th Century Art and Architecture
Creating the Modern by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki is a visually rich open textbook for
visual studies, art history, and nineteenth-century studies. “Topics such as class and
gender, academism and the avant-garde, the reception and consumption of progressive art,
the culture of spectatorship, psycho-social illness, Eurocentrism, and religious and
racial prejudice encourage a multi-faceted understanding of how the narrative of
nineteenth-century art is a narrative intrinsically attached to the problematics, and
promise, of emerging modernity.” Read and view the
