This month’s most anticipated art books are tinged with revolutionary and/or end-times energy. Olivia Liang’s work of historical fiction tells the story of two filmmakers working during Italy’s Years of Lead, while art historian Thomas Crow takes on the French Revolution’s most iconic (and most haunting) image. Meanwhile, the film critic A. S. Hamrah details the denigration of cinema into content in turns both feel-bad and funny. As temperatures drop, grab a blanket and cozy up with one of the books below.
