'Disability and Art History makes a definitive claim for the importance of disability in art. Moving seamlessly from the past to the present, and indicating an influential through line between the two, the collection of essays shows not only how important disability is to art works, but how disability becomes a fascinating focus for artists of all kinds. The book particularly illustrates how transgressive disability art can be and how different bodies and minds redefine what we think about when we think about visual art.' - Lennard. J. Davis, University of Illinois, USA'This original book offers fresh insights as it examines art history's blindness to the burgeoning scholarship in disability studies. Rather than mock the discipline's impairments or seek a cure, the diverse essays think deeply about their social and cultural significance across an intriguing range of historical periods and places.' - Jane Blocker, University of Minnesota, USA'Millett-Gallant & Howie’s Disability and Art History provides scholarly examples of how representations of disability reoccur and are recycled in visual culture. From photography to cinema, from Meso-American pottery figures to German Expressionism, from the disabled as artist to the artistic rediscovery of older representations of the disabled, this first-rate collection provides much for the Disability Studies classroom and will add substantially to a rethinking of Art History to introduce the student to the world of visual representations of disability.' - Sander L. Gilman, Emory University, USA"a very important book. (…) will be of particular interest to disability studies scholars and students, art historians, museum curators, and museum educators.
