While summer climes may invite lying on the beach with a book, equally curling up in bed or on the couch with the heater define life during winter. With new releases rolling out each month, these are a few that caught our eye at ArtsHub.

More than an exhibition catalogue, this book charts the vital role of Australian women artists in the development of international modernism. Launched to coincide with the exhibition, Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890 – 1940, co-curated by the Art Gallery of South Australia and Art Gallery of NSW, it explores a fascinating chapter of intrepid women who changed the landscape of Australian art.
