"Everyone enjoyed FORGED, especially as fans of historical fiction—it was rich in plot and full of surprises." – Teacher Time Book Club previewed Danielle Teller’s tale of reinvention and survival in the Gilded Age, following a young woman’s transformation from desperate outsider to cunning con artist as she exploits the illusions of wealth and power to rewrite her fate. Books were provided courtesy of and Pegasus Books.

"We found the main character, F***y, to be both complex and compelling, and her personal arc sparked a lively discussion.
The biggest point of interest was the character growth F***y underwent, along with a spirited debate about the morality and ethics of her choices. Opinions varied widely, and we kept talking over one another—a sign of how engaged everyone was!
As a piece of historical fiction, Forged hits all the right notes. It offers a fascinating look into the Gilded Age—the era of Gatsby and his legions—with vivid descriptions of Paris and New York City that truly transport the reader. We recommend FORGED for anyone who enjoys historical fiction featuring strong women who refuse to sit quietly and let life pass them by."

In the winter of 1912, Henri Matisse left behind the gray skies of Paris for the luminous colors and intricate patterns of Tangier, Morocco. He wasn’t just chasing light—he was chasing clarity, searching for a way to paint that felt truer to himself than the strict lines of cubism ever could. Amid the bustling markets and quiet courtyards of Morocco, Matisse found a new artistic language—one that would shape the rest of his life.

One of the most powerful works from this pivotal time, The Seated Riffian, now hangs in our Main Gallery. Join us on-site as we take a closer look with author Jeff Koehler, author of “Matisse in Morocco: A Journey of Light and Color” and Martha Lucy, deputy director for research, interpretation and education at the Barnes, in a special one-day workshop that explores how Morocco transformed Matisse’s art—and how this singular portrait came to be.

“Matisse in Morocco: A Journey of Light and Color” by Jeff Koehler, published by Pegasus Books, is available in the Barnes Shop.

“There is a sense here that Blake may step into the room at any moment. The fluid approach is underpinned by other strengths: an impressive breadth of reading; acute critical insights; crisp descriptions of techniques, and of political and cultural movements. One can foresee a rush of books in the run-up to 2027, the bicentenary of Blake’s death, but nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as WILLIAM BLAKE AND THE SEA MONSTERS OF LOVE.” —.tls 🐉
