Together these bring the artist’s rich, four-decade-long career into focus.

It is the perfect introduction to the work of this seminal California artist.

bars, luring guys with a heady dose of butter and sugar.

Sitting in Bars with Cakes recounts Audrey’s year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding her soul mate (or, at the very least, a date). With 35 inventive recipes based on her interactions with guys from all walks of life, from a Sticky Maple Kiss Cake to a Bitter Chocolate Dump Cake, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.

And while Audrey didn’t meet her soul mate, her collection of stories will serve as inspiration for anyone who has ever put themselves out there in hope of finding true love.

Audrey Shulman is the writer of Sitting in Bars with Cake, a blog she started with the intent to lure men with baked goods. A Southern transplant from Nashville, Tennessee, Shulman now lives in Los Angeles.

founding figure of pop art and one of the most influential British artists of the 20th

century, Richard Hamilton (1922–2011) continued to experiment and innovate over a 60‑year career.

This book spans the full scope of Hamilton’s output, exploring his relationship to design, painting, photography, and television, as well as his engagement and collaborations with other artists. Featured here are seminal works such as the era‑defining Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? (1956) and the depiction of Mick Jagger in the iconic Swingeing London 67, as well as many other images. The book also showcases wider contemporary issues and political subjects in Hamilton’s work, including the Kent State shootings and the IRA “dirty protests.” Including more than 250 full‑color illustrations, this will be the definitive volume on Hamilton’s work for years to come.

odern Art and St. Ives explores the art and artists associated with this seaside

Cornwall town from 1915 to 1965. The authors investigate how the art of St. Ives drew upon two key strands of modern art: the utopian ideal of constructivism that began in Moscow in the 1910s and continued through Berlin and Paris between the world wars, and the tradition of craft and the handmade. Major works by leading St. Ives artists such as Peter Lanyon, Barbara Hepworth, and Ben Nicholson are placed alongside the work of their contemporaries from elsewhere in Europe, North America, and beyond.

abstraction, which he called “suprematism,” was a precursor to constructivism. When, in the 1930s, his work was banned in the Soviet Union after the Stalinist regime labeled abstract art as “bourgeois,” he developed a new kind of figuration, still with the sole aim of communicating his theories about the nature of art. Illustrated with paintings, drawings, and sculptures, as well as the teaching charts Malevich used to explain his ideas, this expansive volume offers new insight into the artist’s career.

Accessible essays by leading art historians discuss all aspects of his diverse output, offering an overview of his groundbreaking work, as well as a detailed exploration of many of his drawings, teaching activities, and revolutionary ideas.

Mondrian (1872–1944) speaks to his pioneering

role in abstract art, but also to the complex relationship

9 781849 762656

between his artworks, the space around them, and the belief that they were conceived to inspire. His studios in Amsterdam, Paris, and New York reflect different stages of the painter’s way of thinking as well as his evolving intentions. Each studio was designed to allow the artist to perform a clearly defined intellectual and social role.

An eye-opening look into the spaces that inspired him, this book also explores Mondrian’s broader relationship with architecture and urbanism, particularly through a comparison of his earlier Parisian works and those made in the frenetic modern cityscape of New York. Vividly illustrated with many of Mondrian’s best‑known works

ne of the most significant filmmakers of modern times (Ivan’s Childhood, Andrei

Rublev, Solaris, The Mirror, and Stalker), Andrei

Tarkovsky (1932–1986) was hugely influenced by the poems of his father, Arsenii (1907–1989).

Rendered here for the first time in English, the poems echo through many of the films and illuminate the creative relationship between father and son. While his son’s place in film history is acknowledged worldwide, Arsenii, who fell afoul of Soviet censorship, is still little‑known outside Russia. The 148 poems translated here explore universal themes such as love, nature, family, aging, war, and memory, and place the poetry within the context of the father/son and poet/filmmaker relationship that so dominates the Tarkovsky story.

and authoritative guide to the history and culture of footwear. Iconic creations by celebrated designers sit alongside masterpieces by unknown craftsmen. Embracing both men’s and women’s footwear, from the Chinese lotus shoe to laser-printed contemporary shoes-as-sculpture, Shoes: Pleasure & Pain engages with the cultural significance of shoes—the source of their allure, how they are made, and the people who buy and wear them.

Contributors from a wide range of disciplines consider subjects as diverse as ballet slippers and fetishism, shoes and ceramics, traditional shoemaking, and the obsessive shoe collector. The book also includes a comprehensive discussion of the history of shoe design, and case studies including Marie Antoinette’s shoe collection and the footwear of the Maharajas.

his book was started as a memoir of my mother and subsequently developed into something

childhood in Worcestershire, an art-school education, and subsequent obsessions. It may be read in the light, or perhaps one should say in the shadow of its political history.” So begins Tess Jaray’s remarkable memoir.

Whether providing insights into the mind of an artist or recounting the eccentricities of Jaray’s singular childhood, The Blue Cupboard is a life-affirming testimonial to a creative existence. A painter and printmaker whose work is characterized by an enigmatic interaction of forms and colors, Jaray creates patterns that suggest spatial ambiguities and shifting structures that work on the viewer’s perceptions in subtle ways. Her artworks can be found in many public collections, and her unique pavement designs can be seen in several cities across England.

Tess Jaray studied at St. Martin’s School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, where she later taught for many years.

J

ane Austen referred to Pride and Prejudice (1813), the earliest of her published novels, as

her “darling child”—and generations of readers have taken it to heart ever since. The irresistible

attraction she portrays between the sparkly, independent Elizabeth Bennet and the solemnly austere Mr. Darcy counts among the greatest, most romantic—and funniest—love stories ever told. In this graphic-novel adaptation, writer Ian Edginton and artist Robert Deas introduce one of the bestloved works of English literature to a new generation of readers.
