This publication includes essays on three different artists: Robert Henri, Francisco de Goya, and Elihu Vedder. Henri's paintings reflected the era between the two World Wars and their effects on American art. His independent and unfashionable style of modernism influenced the Ashcan school of painting, but as his life progressed he retreated from the modernistic style to focus on teaching. Spanish artist Francisco de Goya produced fantastic and grotesque prints similar to those of Hieronymous Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. Elihu Vedder created landscapes that had appeared to him in a magic vision, which represented the artist's perception of reality.

Twenty-nine artists gave 31 pieces to the Georgia Museum of Art for a special exhibition prior to Jimmy Carter's election in 1976 as a public tribute to him and the hopes he represented. The group used various forms of public communication such as film, video, and photographs to convey their views of the problems with contemporary society. Two common themes throughout the collection express the belief that art was created for the improvement of humanity, and that the creative process through which it evolves is inclusive rather than exclusive. This publication includes a catalogue of the collection and statements from the artists.

Two painted panels of unidentified saints were given to the Georgia Museum of Art in 1964 by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Scholars have attributed these pieces to the workshop of Fra Filippo Lippi, an Italian monk of the 15th century. The panels were moved over time from various museums around the world in a series of auctions, so their original source is difficult to determine. This publication includes an essay on what is known about the history of the panels and an annual report on the museum.

This publication includes essays on three types of art media that were highlighted in exhibitions at the Georgia Museum of Art in 1995: the drypoints of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the letters of Louis Michel Eilshemius, and the silver shekels of Tyre. Whistler was known mainly for his portraits of fellow artists and friends. He typically focused on the faces of his subjects rather than the peripheral setting or the body of the figures. This particular essay discusses Whistler's 1859 drypoint of French sculptor Charles Drouet. The essay on Eilshemius describes a series of 17 original letters he wrote to New York art dealer Philip Boyer, which were displayed with a small collection of Eilshemius's paintings at the museum. One silver coin or shekel from Tyre, Phoenicia, was also exhibited and may have been of the type of the 30 coins paid to Judas for his betrayal of Christ. This particular coin belonged to a series of shekels minted in Tyre from 126 B.C. to 66 A.D. The catalogue also includes the museum's annual report.
