Believe it or not, Creative Review is 30 years old. However, the celebratory magazine doesn’t look back. It looks forward, and does so through the eyes of 30 prominent practitioners, critics, curators, and academics. There is also a look at the new identity of PEW Center for Arts & Heritage (an organization I’ve had great pleasure working with in several capacities).

Since its founding in 1913, The Art Bulletin has published leading scholarship in all aspects of art history. Printed quarterly, the journal fosters engagement with current intellectual debate and fosters development in intellectual practice.

The most recent issue, December 2009, Volume XCI, Number 4, includes work on Spanish representation of the Aztec, imaging childhood in 18th-century France, and selling artists in 18th-century Shanghai. As the cover reflects, the keynote essay involves Kehinde Wiley. Krista Thompson’s “The Sound of Light Reflections on Art History in the Visual Culture of Hip-Hop,” investigates Wiley and Louis Gispert’s use of historic painting styles to capture hip-hop subjects.

Issue number 9 from Grab is out now. The free publication includes a number of artistic features including editorials on Banksy’s takeover of the Bristol Museum and Nissan’s crossover campaign. Grab’s presentation is sound, and the visuals alone are worth a leaf through. And, leaf through you can by heading here.

For December, Creative Review takes a look back at the year in visual communications. It’s the first time they’ve done “the review” and the method is worth noting. For one, they’ve recapped the most hotly debated blog posts on the CR site. They’ve also contacted images libraries to see what has been generating the highest search numbers. Illustration, type, and the impact of social media are also covered (and a lot more).

A look inside follows.
