ARLIS/NA Multimedia & Technology Reviews connects readers with new technologies and the multimedia landscape. Reviews will target projects, products, events, and issues within the broad realm of multimedia and technology related to arts scholarship, research, and librarianship.

Please Note: The Editors do not want descriptions or overviews of how a given resource functions. Some description is of course needed but the reviewer should always think critically about the design choices and ways in which to interact with the content. In some cases, a resource’s platform or a website’s look and feel may be surpassed by the quality of the content. This is important to note. And if reviewing a relatively new resource, reviewers should be prepared to do a little research on the company, who the CEO is, what the mission is, etc. This will be important if, in the reviewer's estimation, the resource does not meet the goal.

The editors of the M&T Reviews are happy to answer questions about any of these selections so feel free to contact them (arlisna.mtr@gmail.com). Once assigned a review, reviewers will have until Monday, November 1, 2021 to complete a first draft of their reviews.

French Paintings and Pastels, 1600–1945: The Collections of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
https://www.nelson-atkins.org/fpc/
The present catalogue publishes the holdings of French paintings from the 1600s to 1945. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is fortunate to possess celebrated examples of the work of Nicolas Poussin, Jean Siméon Chardin, Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Jean-François Millet, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin, as well as a host of additional works by other artists, perhaps less familiar, presented with fresh perspectives in their lively histories so well documented here.

Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art
https://jhna.org/ 
JHNA is the open access electronic journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art. Founded in 2009, the journal publishes issues of peer-reviewed articles two times per year. These articles focus on art produced in the Netherlands (north and south) during the early modern period (c. 1400-c.1750), and in other countries and later periods as they relate to Netherlandish art. This includes studies of painting, sculpture, graphic arts, tapestry, architecture, and decoration, from the perspectives of art history, art conservation, technical studies, museum studies, historiography, and collecting history. Translations into English of significant articles published previously in other languages will appear from time to time as well. The journal also engages in other forms of presentation made possible by digital technology.  Book and exhibition reviews, however, are published in HNAR (Historians of Netherlandish Art Reviews).

Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer’s Journey
https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/pedro-e-guerrero-preview/4930/
The American Masters series and Latino Public Broadcasting's VOCES series join forces for the first time to explore the life and work of photographer Pedro E. Guerrero (September 5, 1917 - September 13, 2012), a Mexican American, born and raised in segregated Mesa, Arizona, who had an extraordinary international photography career.

Filmmakers Raymond Telles and Yvan Iturriaga (Latino Americans) showcase an in-depth, exclusive interview with Guerrero alongside his photography to explore his collaborations with three of the most iconic American artists of the 20th century: architect Frank Lloyd Wright and sculptors Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson. Using his outsider's eye to produce insightful portraits of important modernist architecture, Guerrero became one of the most sought-after photographers of the "Mad Men" era, yet his story is largely unknown.
