Ravilious RAVILIOUS

James Russell

This beautifully illustrated book is the first full-length critical study to focus on the watercolours of multitalented British artist and designer Eric Ravilious (1903–1942). Adopting the wide-ranging and accessible approach that will be familiar to readers of his previous books on the artist, author James Russell explores the evolution of a remarkable talent. An introductory essay offers an intimate portrait of Ravilious, an artist for whom personal relationships, particularly with women, were paramount. The extraordinary achievements of an all-too-brief career are traced, drawing on new research to seek out artistic influences and examine Ravilious’s relationships with fellow artists, as well as the development of his mark making. A comprehensive selection of Ravilious’s watercolours follows, with over 100 colour images – including many full-page details showing paintings at full size. Some have never been published, while others are familiar and well loved. Many are accompanied by texts designed to enlighten and entertain, examine composition and technique, indicate influences and inspiration, and discuss the significance of the subjects and people behind the scenes. The resulting book provides fresh insights into the luminous, evocative and timeless watercolours of Eric Ravilious, now regarded as some of the finest of the twentieth century.

James Russell studied History at Pembroke College, Cambridge, but was galvanized into writing about art by a lengthy stint selling contemporary paintings and sculpture in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A passionate advocate of twentieth-century British painting and design, he writes and lectures widely. His books include the popular four-volume series Ravilious in Pictures, which was described by Country Life as ‘a vivid portrait of the artist’, as well as titles devoted to Edward Seago, Peggy Angus and Paul Nash.

Treasured Possessions

from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment Victoria Avery, Melissa Calaresu and Mary Laven (eds)

This book is all about possession. It explores the significance of beautiful and engaging objects – chosen, acquired, personalised and treasured – to the people who once owned them. With over 300 works discussed, the book takes us on a dazzling visual adventure through the decorative arts, from Renaissance luxuries wrought in glass, bronze and maiolica to the elaborate tablewares and personal adornments available to shoppers in the Age of Enlightenment. En route the authors consider the impact of global trade on European habits and expectations: the glamour of the exotic, as witnessed in the lust for objects imported from the East, the ubiquity of New World products like chocolate and sugar, and the obsession with Chinoiserie decoration. They ask what decorative objects meant to their owners before the age of industrial mass production, and explore how technological innovation and the proliferation of goods from the sixteenth century onwards transformed the attitude of Europeans to their personal possessions. The book deliberately juxtaposes luxury artefacts, such as an erotic Venetian bronze statuette, an Iznik jug with Elizabethan silver-gilt mounts or a prized piece of Meissen porcelain, with unusual, quirky objects – a Delftware birdcage, a child’s mourning ring or a pair of yellow embroidered shoes – and more everyday items that are usually passed over, such as a pewter dish or an earthenware tankard. Drawing on the latest scholarly research, the authors investigate how such objects were made, used and personalised, as well as adapted, mended and recycled; how people went about acquiring the items they treasured, and what meaning and value accrued to their favourite things. Illustrated throughout with superb photographs many unfamiliar and hitherto unseen gems of the Fitzwilliam Museum’s Applied Arts collection are here published for the first time.

A History of the Fitzwilliam Museum 1816–2016 Lucilla Burn A HISTORY OF

The Fitzwilliam Museum 1816–2016 Lucilla Burn

The Fitzwilliam Museum is not just the principal museum of the University of Cambridge but also one of the leading UK museums outside London. This book traces its story from the Museum’s origins in the 1816 bequest of Richard, 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam of Merrion, up to the present day. At the same time it sets the Fitzwilliam’s individual story against the larger context of the growth and development of museums and galleries in the UK and further afield. The text and illustrations draw primarily on the rich and hitherto largely unpublished archives of the Fitzwilliam Museum, including the Syndicate Minutes, the reports of University debates published in the Cambridge University Reporter from 1870 onwards, compilations of earlier nineteenth-century documents, architectural plans and drawings, newspaper reports, letters, diaries, exhibition catalogues, photographs and other miscellaneous documents. With this material a substantial proportion of the narrative can be told through contemporary voices, not least those of the Museum’s thirteen Directors to date, each one a strong and influential character. Starting with the hitherto obscure life of the 7th Viscount and concluding with a portrait of the Museum today, the narrative explores not just the Fitzwilliam’s own establishment and development, but also such wider issues as the changing purpose and character of museums and collections over the last 200 years, and in particular the role of the university museum. Many of the illustrations appear here for the first time and include views of the galleries over the centuries as well as portraits of members of staff.

The Drawings of G.F. Watts

The Drawings of G.F. Watts Chloe M. Kroeter

George Frederic Watts (1817–1904) is considered to be one of the Victorian era’s greatest painters.Yet his drawings – which served as the preparatory designs for his paintings and, in some cases, the final products of his creative efforts – have been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship. Watts Gallery holds the largest collection of Watts’s works on paper, comprising approximately 800 studies, sketches, copies, and finished artworks that span Watts’s entire artistic career. These range from remarkable copies of engravings made when he was a mere ten years old to figurative sketches drawn up to two months before his death in 1904 at the age of 87. Representing the most complete record of his development as an artist, Watts’s drawings offer unequalled insight into his techniques, compositional decisions, and working processes. His studies provide an uncensored record of his thought process, and reveal the choices and changes he made as he developed some of his most celebrated works. This book is the first in depth study of Watts’s drawings.

The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders in Renaissance Italy Trinita Kennedy With contributions by Donal Cooper, Holly Flora, Amy Neff and Janet Robson

Italy in the thirteenth century was transformed by two new religious orders, the Dominicans and the Franciscans. Whereas earlier religious orders had secluded themselves in monasteries in the countryside and lived off income from their property, the Dominicans and Franciscans settled in urban centres and lived as mendicants, or beggars, administering to the laity. The founding members of both orders took a vow of poverty, yet soon after their deaths their successors were building churches that rivalled cathedrals in size and splendour throughout Italy. The friars and nuns of these orders created a tremendous demand for works of all kinds – painted altarpieces, crucifixes, fresco cycles, illuminated choir books, and liturgical objects – to decorate their churches. The works they commissioned illustrate the lives of their saints and depict miracles such as Saint Francis preaching to the birds, Saint Dominic dividing a single loaf of bread into enough food to feed many hungry friars, and Saint Clare rescuing a child mauled by a wolf. These visual narratives are notable for their naturalistic treatment and the emphasis on expressive gestures to show human emotions, both of which were significant new developments in Italian art. This book accompanies an exhibition at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts featuring works of art from the collections of major American museums and libraries and of the Vatican. It is the first major study to examine the art of these rival religious orders together, exploring the ways in which they used art as propaganda to promote the charisma of their saints and to articulate their revolutionary concept of religious vocation. The essayists provide new insights into the significant contributions made by the Dominicans and the Franciscans to the artistic Renaissance in Italy during the period 1200 to 1550.

The Heath and the Horse

A History of Racing and Art on Newmarket Heath David Oldrey, Timothy Cox and Richard Nash

As might be imagined from its historic position as the acknowledged home of horseracing, there is no shortage of books about Newmarket; none, however, provides a definitive history of Newmarket Heath and the key figures who contributed to its transformation from untamed heath land to the world’s finest racing ground. This comprehensive and authoritative book is the first to trace this history from its early beginnings to the present day and to show how and why the sport of horseracing developed on the heath and spread globally from that base. All of the turf’s greatest racehorses and the larger-than-life characters integral to the heath’s history are included. The first part provides a broad chronological history of the heath – from its discovery by James I in 1605 to the present day – and examines its relationship with and influence on racing nationally. The importance of the royal court in the development of the heath, the various swings of fortune it experienced once the monarchy lost interest, and the formation of the Jockey Club to control both the heath and the sport, are traced. Also discussed are Newmarket Heath’s influence in the breeding of a superior thoroughbred horse from native and eastern stock to be tested on its unique heath land, the methods of training down the centuries, and the many trainers and jockeys involved. The second part concentrates on the heath and the Jockey Club. The topography and buildings of the heath are illustrated with maps, paintings and prints. The development of the racecourses and races are traced in detail. There is a full account of the Jockey Club, its ownership of the heath and important new research into the pre-1750s existence of the club. Before the days of photography paintings and prints provided the only visual evidence of how racing was conducted and what Newmarket looked like. Many of the pictures here reproduced show a general racing scene or the portrait of an unnamed horse. In a special feature the authors have analysed ten pictures in forensic detail to provide a richer understanding of the historic record.

Roman Splendour, English Arcadia

The English Taste for Pietre Dure and the Pope’s Cabinet at Stourhead Simon Swynfen Jervis and Dudley Dodd

At Stourhead in Wiltshire, the Palladian mansion contains an extraordinary Roman Cabinet glittering with gilt-bronze mounts, semi-precious stones and elaborate architectural ornament. Its façade conceals over 125 more-or-less secret drawers. The Cabinet was brought to Stourhead in the 1740s by Henry Hoare ‘the Magnificent’, of the Hoare banking dynasty; he had purchased it in Rome where it has been made for Pope Sixtus v, the great rebuilder, whose papacy, from 1585 to 1590, coincided with the Spanish Armada. The superb quality of the ‘Sixtus Cabinet’ became apparent during restoration in 2006–7 and this prompted an investigation into its history. This book commences with a comprehensive account of the insatiable English taste for Italian pietre dure, from the sixteenth century to the twentieth, and follows with a survey of the Roman pietre dure industry, hitherto unjustly neglected by comparison with Florence. A description and stylistic analysis of the Cabinet itself precedes a trail of detection which takes it back to Pope Sixtus’s Roman villa, and then explores its tortuous descent through the Pope’s family to sale in 1740. Henry Hoare’s Grand Tour and his purchase of the Cabinet led to its installation in a Cabinet Room at Stourhead, surrounded by Old Masters and with a new pedestal of triumphal arch form, incorporating reliefs of Pope Sixtus and his Roman monuments. Later his grandson, Sir Richard Colt Hoare created a new Cabinet Room, with embellishments by Thomas Chippendale junior. Horace Walpole and William Beckford were among the admirers of the Cabinet, the focus of this remarkably wide-ranging study of Italian and English artistry, patronage and taste. The text is illustrated with photographs of the cabinet and examples of other pieces of pietre dure inlaid furniture in English collections as well as many photographs of Stourhead.

Delacroix and his Forgotten World The Origins of Romantic Painting

DELACROIX

Margaret MacNamidhe

AND HIS FORGOTTEN WORLD The Origins of Romantic Painting

The image of Eugène Delacroix as an august artist with an august oeuvre was initially frozen into place by posthumous tributes and it has continued to the present. He was one of the finest yet least understood painters of the nineteenth century, the golden age of the French Romantic movement. He is remembered best for his masterpiece, La Liberté guidant le people, but few of his works have received the kind of constant, fascinated revisiting that has sealed the iconic status of Théodore Géricault’s Le Radeau de la Méduse, for example. This book is one of the first to look carefully at individual paintings by Delacroix, especially at one of his most important works – a crucial but often overlooked painting from early Romanticism’s heyday, Scène des massacres de Scio. The Scio ostensibly depicts an episodic aftermath of violent events from the Greek War of Independence (1821–32) but its slumped figures and subdued atmosphere do nothing to earn this description. Its defining characteristic – figures that appear simultaneously overwrought and utterly listless – remains unexplained by the attention to political contexts, gender roles, or other concerns that have articulated the reception of Delacroix. Margaret MacNamidhe brilliantly argues that the Scio represents an effort to furnish new models in a tradition that had become increasingly problematic. The painting’s mass of bodies arguably defines Delacroix’s contribution to French painting: his ebbing interest in depicting a purposeful, singular subjectivity, his increasing concentration on groups simultaneously trapped by and released from the most anguished of circumstances.

MacNamidhe combines study of art theory, theatre and philosophy to help illuminate Delacroix’s great project and to rethink his reputation as a Romantic, along with his position in French painting as a whole.

Fred A. Farrell

Fred A. Farrell Glasgow’s War Artist

Joanna Meacock, Fiona Hayes, Alan Greenlees, Mark Roberts ‘Spellbinding’ — T H E G L A S G O W H E R A LD

Frederick Arthur Farrell (1882–1935) came from a distinguished Glasgow family. He initially studied civil engineering, and as an artist was self-taught, although he owes a debt to the advice and example of Muirhead Bone. By the outbreak of World War I he was developing a reputation as an up-and-coming etcher and watercolourist of portraits and topographical subjects. He enlisted as a sapper, or military engineer, with the Royal Engineers Railway Troops Depot but was discharged from the Army due to ill health. In late 1917, Farrell went to the Front as a war artist, attached for three weeks to the 15th, 16th and 17th Highland Light Infantry in Flanders. He was in France in late 1918, attached for two months to the staff of the 51st (Highland) Division. In between, authorized by the Ministry of Munitions and the Admiralty, and supported by Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Farrell drew the heroic home effort of women in Glasgow’s munitions factories, shipyards and engineering works. As a former soldier, Farrell’s sketches and watercolours of the Front powerfully offer a landscape filtered through personal experience and emotion. Battle scenes and strategic deliberations are reconstructed, informed by first-hand accounts. Many include portraits of actual soldiers. There are poignant images of graves, devastated landscapes and destroyed churches. However, there are also scenes of reconstruction and renewed activity amid the desolation. He is at his most dynamic in his drawings of the munitions factories which are full of noise, light and movement. In these there is a sense of joy and energy in industry and machinery, in patterning and design. The commission Farrell received from the Corporation of Glasgow to produce 50 drawings of the Front Line and munitions factories in the city to record the war for posterity was extraordinary. He was unique in being the only war artist to be commissioned by a city rather than by the government, Imperial War Museum or armed forces. Glasgow was one of the first cities to recognize the importance of creating such a memorial, rather than just creating images for propaganda purposes. Published in association with Glasgow Museums

John Radcliffe with Mark Lance

George Lance (1802–1864) brought new vibrancy to still life painting in the early Victorian period. In his seminal work Victorian Painting (1966) Graham Reynolds stated that the revival of still life painting, as an artist’s main preoccupation, was effected almost single-handedly by Lance. Over one hundred years earlier J.M.W. Turner had expressed the view that Lance was one of the three greatest colourists of his era (after himself of course). Lance’s star was eclipsed in the ensuing years, overtaken by the Pre-Raphaelites, the Impressionists and subsequent schools. His reputation has never regained the heights it attained in the 1850s. This book, the first biography of Lance to be written, seeks to rectify this injustice. Lance was a pupil of the contumacious and ultimately tragic B.R. Haydon, a titanic figure in the Regency art world. Lance drew his inspiration from the Dutch and Flemish Old Masters, adopting many of their motifs. His work was purchased by some of the greatest aristocrats and industrialists of the time, while links to Liverpool through his son-in-law enabled him to sell to the cotton barons of Lancashire. He was never elected to the Royal Academy, a mystery to contemporary commentators but perhaps due to his confrontation with the political establishment following his ‘restoration’ of Velazquez’s Royal Boar Hunt (now hanging in the National Gallery). His popularity with his fellow artists, however, was never in doubt. Lavishly illustrated with Lance’s works and detailing other aspects of his life, this book gives a rounded picture of the man, not just the artist, and will serve as the definitive record of the life of a much under-appreciated painter.

DRAWING AMBIGUITY

THROUGH THE LINES OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Drawing Ambiguity:Through the Lines of Contemporary Art builds upon its predecessors, Drawing Now: Between the Lines of Contemporary Art (2007) and Hyperdrawing: Beyond the Lines of Contemporary Art (2012) by proposing that a position of ambiguity, a lack of definition, is not only desirable within fine art drawing but also necessary – having the capacity to enable and sustain drawing practices. What happens if we are ambivalent to what is a drawing, or what drawing is? The editors, Russell Marshall and Phil Sawdon, bring together seven invited contributions to offer multiple perspectives from within and without the fine art drawing field to respond to these questions. Each contributor was offered the opportunity to acknowledge ambiguity within drawing as creatively informed by three overarching themes: William Empson’s Seven Types of Ambiguity in literary prose, the logical fallacies of ambiguity, and grammatical prepositions. There are contributions from the artist Ilana Halperin, the artist-researcher Deborah Harty, the artist and founder member of the group Underworld, Karl Hyde, the creative collaboration of Kristen Kreider and James O’Leary, the artist and writer Michael Phillipson, the artist and academic Rob Ward, as well as the series editors Russell Marshall and Phil Sawdon, together with a contextual introduction by the artist, writer, curator Derek Horton.

This richly illustrated book examines the principal ways by which artists have explored the geology of the land, paralleling this study with that of the human body. The book is divided into six thematic sections that explore the expression of man’s place in the universe.

A major collection of Greek art housed in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore is here presented in chronological order with an introductory essay on each period from which the art is drawn and individual discussions of each piece designed to bring out its distinct features.

A celebration of the impact of religion on the art of Norfolk with its long history of migration and of diverse patterns of belief; the book charts the work of artists and craftsmen over three millennia.

The Art of Faith

3,500 Years of Art and Faith in Norfolk Edited by Kimberly Orcutt

This book celebrates the impact of faith on the art of a region with a long history of migration and diverse patterns of belief. The universality of the theme, along with its clear relevance to the history of one region and its cultural identity, makes this a celebration of more than local importance, with a reach well beyond that of the traditional survey. Across the centuries, Norfolk has been the home to many and varied faiths. Vikings, AngloSaxons and Romans all came with their own belief systems. During the Roman period, Christians also settled in this region and eventually – after a period of conflict – Christianity became the official religion. Other religions flourished too. In the middle ages there were thriving Jewish communities in Thetford, Bishops (now Kings) Lynn and Norwich, even though they suffered severe persecution from their Christian fellow citizens. From the fifteenth century onwards, there was a bewildering number of different branches of Christianity throughout the diocese of Norwich, an area significantly larger than the county boundary of Norfolk today. In this region, the official and uniform religion of Protestant Christianity was only ever a general truth. Amongst others, there were Lollards, Catholics, Calvinists, Laudians, Puritans, Huguenots, Presbyterians and Quakers. Over the past two centuries a new pattern of diversity has emerged. To list but a few of the faiths now practiced by the citizens of Norfolk: there are Sikhs, Muslims, Pagans, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons as well as older and more recently formed communities of Jews and Christians. Intriguingly, the low-lying landscape of this region of Britain can be seen to have had a lasting impact upon the sacred sites of many of these varied faiths.

A Cultural Survey

This book celebrates the origins of the game and explores the ways tennis has inspired artists from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Featured paintings include The Tennis Party by John Lavery, as well as less well known works by artists including Eric Gill, Paul Nash and Stanley Spencer.

The first in the series, this volume charts the period from the seventh to the twelth century. Richly illustrated with colour plates, maps, plans, and diagrams, it provides a vivid portrayal of the medieval world in central Europe and the Adriatic region before the Ottoman invasions.

This volume presents forty essays charting the period from the thirteenth to the beginning of the sixteenth century, and is written by the most eminent specialists on this period of Croatian history under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

The pursuit of leisure was one of the most remarkable social phenomena of the 1930s. This groundbreaking book focuses on a small group of figure painters who were looking for ways of being both modern and in touch with a wide public. Their crisp, realist style was one that enjoyed popularity across Europe.

Delftware

Delftware in the fitzwilliam

uch that is beautiful and unusual is revealed in this complete catalogue of English and Irish delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The greater part of the collection was bequeathed by Dr J.W.L. Glaisher in 1928, and much of it is little known. A detailed publication has long been overdue, and here illustrated in full and resplendent colour are 588 items, many with multiple views. The strength of Dr Glaisher’s collection is the English earthenware of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly delftware: no better assemblage has ever been made by a single collector. He amassed objects with great academic rigour over a period of more than thirty years, concentrating particularly on dated pieces while always exercising a discriminating and aesthetical eye. Michael Archer’s catalogue provides details of date and place of manufacture, size, body, glaze, decoration and provenance with a full discussion where appropriate. Julia Poole has contributed a fascinating chapter with much new material on Dr Glaisher’s life and the extraordinary breadth of his collecting interests. There is also a general introduction to delftware, including a description of the manufacturing process; further sections give indexes and exhaustive information on all the works.

Eric Kennington, Portraiture and the Second World War

This is the first book to focus on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War, firstly as an official war artist working for Kenneth Clark’s War Artist Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Information and then in a semi-official capacity for the Ministry of Labour, the War Office and London Transport. The majority of his drawings were portraits but also included are examples of his attractive landscapes as well as haunting symbolic works – inspired by powerful feelings evoked in wartime and the individuals in uniform he met as a war artist. The book draws upon a rich vein of unpublished archival material and documentation while including imagery that has not been reproduced in over half a century as well as works which have never hitherto appeared in colour. Different chapters discuss the fascinating portraits he produced; of sailors who had survived the Battles of the River Plate and of Narvik, of fighter pilots who flew day and night during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, of tank crews, munitions workers, men of the Home Guard who had already experienced the hell of the trenches and of employees of London Transport who had displayed ‘grace under pressure’ during the worst of the bombing in 1940–41. The portraits are accompanied by an array of enthralling stories of supposedly ordinary men and women who displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and moral courage when confronted by the test of Total War. Kennington’s frequently hazardous experiences as a war artist are explored along with his often fractious relations with his employers at the Ministry of Information who were uneasy with his determination to celebrate individual servicemen who had killed for their country rather than promote non-combatants and civilian sitters more compatible with an official narrative that emphasised the ‘People’s War’ and the value of collective endeavour.

Emerging from the Shadows Francis ‘Frank’ Montague Holl (1845–1888) was one of the great painters of the Victorian era, notable for his tragic social realism as well as his penetrating portraits. Although highly respected in his lifetime, his early death meant that he never fully received the acclaim that his work merited. This book represents the first retrospective of this significant artist. Exploring in parallel the subject paintings and the portraits, it considers the importance of Holl’s output and his continued relevance today. Leading scholars in the field look at different aspects of Holl’s painting, while full catalogue entries examine certain works in detail. Holl was a prodigiously talented artist who entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of fifteen, where he won a gold medal for religious painting in 1863. A year later two of his paintings were accepted for exhibition at the Royal Academy, where he showed work regularly until his death. He was commissioned by Queen Victoria to paint No Tidings from the Sea (1871; Royal Collection). Holl became part of an informal school of socialrealist painting that flourished during the 1870s; its aim was to draw attention to the everyday conditions of the working classes and the poor, and implicitly to criticize the social structures that maintained such conditions. His great subject pictures, often on bleak themes, were frequently criticized for their darkness but found great favour with the public, who empathized with his depictions. Funeral processions, child mortality and grief were very much part of life and his emotive images struck a chord with his audience.

Frank Holl

In 1879, when Holl exhibited a portrait of the engraver Samuel Cousins at the Royal Academy it created a sensation. In the nine years of life that remained he painted over 150 portraits, some of the greatest of his age – achievements which can be seen on a par with those of Watts and Millais. His influence was felt in his lifetime and later through the work of Van Gogh who greatly admired Holl.

In the Realm of Gods and Kings Arts of India

Edited By Andrew Topsﬁeld

Four essays and images from thirtythree international artists collectively explore the boundaries of the hyperdrawing space, investigating in essence what lies beyond drawing – images that use traditional materials or subjects whilst also pushing beyond the traditional, employing sound, light, time, space and technology.

This book explores the role of photography in circulating ideas and sentiments relating to Central Africans in Europe and the US. It also shows how the peoples of Africa became familiar with photographic technology, enabling them to create and project images of themselves.

The book explores the paintings that Robinson produced whilst he was at Giverny, France, in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It also shows how Robinson, who came into contact with Monet during his visits to Giverney, absorbed and translated the French master’s working method, style, and subject matter.

New in paperback, this volume celebrates the wealth and diversity of the arts of India created for the life of courts and temples from 1000 BC to the twentieth century. Paintings, objects, and photographs reflect the variety and continuity of India’s aesthetic traditions.

Masheck reads Loos as a witty, ironic rhetorician who has all too often been taken at face value. Far from being the anti-architect of the modern era, Masheck’s Loos is ‘an unruly yet integrally canonical artist-architect’. This is a brilliantly written revisionist reading of a perennially popular architect.

The Complete Works

This third and final volume of the full-colour catalogue raisonné of Franz Marc covers all the artist’s sketchbooks and prints. The thirty-three sketchbooks have been reconstructed and the leaves presented in their original sequence, including more than 750 new entries taken from the individual folios. The new catalogue on Marc’s prints provides an exhaustive documentation of the various editions of the well-known woodcuts in particular. As in the first two volumes, the chronology of works has been fundamentally revised and brought up to date in line with the most recent research. Together with those two other volumes, the paintings (vol. I), and the watercolours, gouaches, drawings and postcards (vol.

Franz Marc

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most important members of the Blue Rider group, together with other outstanding artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point in German Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.

Munch’s striking and emotive graphic works have fascinated people all over the world for more than a century. He arranged a number of exhibitions of his prints in his lifetime, and was represented in many print rooms and important private collections in Europe before World War II. Since then his fame and inﬂuence on subsequent image-making have grown and grown. When he died in 1944 Munch bequeathed his own vast collection of some 17,000 print impressions, from a total output that amounted to between 20,000 and 25,000, to the City of Oslo. In 1963, the Munch Museum opened its doors to the public, and since then Munch’s prints have been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide.

o tradition in architecture has been more constant or more continually open to creative reinterpretation than the classicism that originated in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. This beautifully designed book explores these ideas through essays on architecture, architectural thought and landscape design from the Renaissance to the present day by fifteen distinguished writers. They have been brought together to mark the retirement from the University of Cambridge of one of the world’s most renowned architectural historians and greatest authorities on classicism, Professor David Watkin. Amongst the figures about whom new research is presented are well-known architects Marie-Joseph Peyre, Thomas Hope, William Wilkins, C.R. Cockerell, Charles Barry and Albert Richardson, while less familiar twentieth-century architects introduced here include E.L. Warre, Donald McMorran and George Whitby. There are essays on the architectural writers John Summerson and Hope Bagenal, while others take themes, spanning from interpretations of Vitruvius, through Roman Catholic chapel building in London and the role played by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in stimulating Post-Modernism in the 1970s, to the persistence of Picturesque ideas in contemporary landscape design. In addition, there is a valuable bibliography of David Watkin’s own very extensive publications.

A Late 1960s Home for Art and Design The Picker House is a remarkable late 1960s modernist home specifically designed to accommodate a superb collection of modern and contemporary painting and sculpture. Situated on the outskirts of London, in Kingston upon Thames, it is a rare surviving example of a spacious and progressive late modern house and garden that remains largely unaltered. Designed by the British modernist architect Kenneth Wood in 1965, it still retains its period interior décor, contemporary furnishings acquired through Terence Conran’s two design firms, Conran Design Group and Conran Contracts, and the distinctive art collection of its owner – including works by Chagall, Frink, Hepworth, Lowry, Rodin and many more – which was an integral part of its conception. Based on previously unpublished material and photographs, this heavily illustrated publication brings together leading researchers in their respective fields who chart the history of the house and its collections. Picker was a New York-born cosmetic manufacturer who settled in London in 1936. He made his wealth in the 1960s through Gala Cosmetics, launching the new make-up brands Miners, Outdoor Girl and Mary Quant. This book offers a complete investigation into the architecture and design of the Picker House, its interior furnishings and décor, its Japaneseinspired landscaped garden and Picker’s significant modern and contemporary art collection of paintings, drawings and prints and sculpture. It concludes with a glimpse of the ongoing life of the collection and of Picker’s Fellowship legacy through the recent work of artist Elizabeth Price and designer Ab Rogers, amongst others.

Ivor Roberts-Jones (1913–1996) was one of the finest sculptors working in Britain during the twentieth century. This book is the first in-depth study of this compelling artist who was responsible for the magisterial statue of Sir Winston Churchill, unveiled in November 1973, which stands in Parliament Square in London. It incorporates a wealth of new research and never before published imagery of the artist’s fascinating and wide-ranging output, including his numerous major public works such as a haunting figure of controversial painter Augustus John in Fordingbridge, Hampshire (1967), doomed World War I poet Rupert Brooke (Rugby, 1988) and memorials to two British military titans of the Second World War situated in Whitehall: Field Marshal Sir William ‘Bill’ Slim (unveiled in 1990) – architect of victory in the gruelling Burma campaign – and Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke (unveiled in 1993), the master strategist who prevented many of Churchill’s more unrealistic schemes from being implemented.

Jonathan Black and Sara Ayres

The book also provides the first detailed examination of Roberts-Jones’s standing as one of Britain’s greatest portrait sculptors for whom an array of impressive personalities sat ranging from musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, actors (Hugh Griffiths), writers (Saunders Lewis), politicians (Speaker of the House of Commons, George Thomas) and opera singers (Sir Geraint Evans). Finally it explores his significant achievement as a sculptor of wild animals and his lifelong fascination with the depiction of the blind and visually impaired.

Focused on the crucial stage of Rivera’s career during the second decade of the 20th century, which he spent in Paris and travelling Europe with other avant-garde intellectuals and artists, this book examines the way in which the Cubist style he encountered came to inform his artistic expression.

The book will provide the first detailed examination of RobertsJones’s standing as one of Britain’s greatest portrait sculptors to whom an array of impressive personalities sat ranging from musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, actors (Hugh Griffiths), writers (Saunders Lewis), politicians (Speaker of the House of Commons, George Thomas) and opera singers (Sir Geraint Evans).

John Rogers (1829–1904) is arguably America’s most popular narrative sculptor, his subjects being drawn from all aspects of the American experience. This major catalogue accompanies a travelling exhibition organized by the New-York Historical Society, which holds the nation’s premiere collection of Rogers’s work.

A humorous look at the American electoral process, this book follows the campaign trail, from the candidate’s initial decision to enter the race to the final tallying of votes, through the cartoons of Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman.

Barbara Loftus’s figurative paintings and works in other media are known for their exploration of the interface between personal memory and historical events. In her cycle of artworks, Sigismund’sWatch, she reflects on the convergence of public and private life in a study of transgenerational memory.

This book documents a disappearing artistic and cultural tradition with over three hundred photographs showing individual pieces, rare images of women wearing their jewelry with traditional dress, and the various regions in Yemen where the author did her field research.

Thirty years on, the sixties speak to us in celebration of youth, optimism, protest, and an explosion of art, music, and popular culture. This book is an ambitious Anglo-French collaboration in which, for the first time, photographs and essays from both sides of the Channel are integrated to assess and make vivid the phenomenon of The Sixties.

generation. Like many artists who come from the Balkans, he is a complete cosmopolitan. He has spent a long time living and working in Paris, his residence there the famous Bateau-Lavoir, once inhabited by Picasso, amongst other artists. He also teaches in China, at the Luxun Academy of Arts in Shenyang, and so is in close touch with the aesthetic revolution now taking place in Chinese art. Yet he has always been careful to maintain his roots in Serbia and Montenegro – his work has the epic sweep, as well as the passion and darkness, associated with traditional Balkan folktales. By its very nature, Sobaïc’s work is difficult to classify. It has links to Francis Bacon, to the classical surrealism of Salvador Dalí, and to the romanticism of Gericault. It is constantly preoccupied, as indeed these artists were, with the bond between the sublime and the abject, and with the tragic nature of the human condition. Above all, however, it represents the world in flux, and it is no accident that one of the images he continues to revisit is that of a swimmer cleaving through water.

Cover painting: The Red Vineyard, Montmajour (F495) November 1888. Pushkin Museum, Moscow This painting was the first Van Gogh sold outside Holland, to a collector in Brussels (Anna Boch).

Vincent van Gogh’s tumultuous final years were the climax of his career as a colourist. In France he reached a sustained height of expression and created a prodigious quantity of work, the importance of which is incontestable. In the landscapes, portraits and still lifes from this period the intensity and singularity of vision finds its apotheosis. Presented here is a comprehensive illustrated catalogue of Van Gogh’s paintings executed between 1886 and 1890 in Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise. Each of some 580 works from that time is reproduced in full colour and appears in related scale to its original size. All known provenance is given. For the first time the paintings recorded in early documents like the ‘Andries Bonger Inventory List’ of 1890 and the 1905 Amsterdam Exhibition are fully identified. This book includes a wealth of new information of crucial importance to collectors, dealers, art historians and public institutions, while providing an extraordinary visual record of the most creative and productive period of Van Gogh’s career. It promises to be one of the most significant and enduring contributions to the understanding of this artist.

Bath and Beyond

Focusing on the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the book features Oscar Wilde as a central, catalytic figure linking London and Paris. Wilde is presented as a multi-faceted artist – not only poet, writer, playwright, but also art critic, journalist and progressive political thinker.

Dorothy Bohm is widely recognized as one of the doyennes of British photography, her career spanning six decades. This book is the first illustrated record of all aspects of her work.

Joseph Wright (1734–1797) arrived in Bath from his native Derby in November 1775. Recently returned from a tour of Italy, he came to the fashionable spa town to re-establish his business as a portrait painter, hoping to fill the vacancy left by Thomas Gainsborough the previous year. This beautifully illustrated book sheds new light on a key moment in this important English artist’s career.

As well as allowing a detailed study of the evolution of an artist, these works show the Thames under contrasting climatic conditions, from Chelsea in Ice to the lovely Nocturne: Grey and Gold – Westminster Bridge, which depicts the deep blue of warm summer evenings. They bring to life Victorian London: the workers and women who frequented the Thames-side wharves and pubs, the shipping that thronged the Pool, the barges that navigated the perilous passage under the bridges, and the steamboats and ferries crowded with daytrippers. The Nocturnes of the 1870s mark an important breakthrough in Whistler’s art: his shift from French Realism to sophisticated harmony, based on mood and atmosphere, but still rooted in a literal rendering of the Thames waterside. The famous Blue and Gold – Old Battersea Bridge is the culmination of his bridge paintings; here the influence of Japanese prints reached its fullest form.

Pivotal to his career, this beautiful group of paintings, prints and drawings permits a detailed examination of his approach to composition, subject and technique. The earliest paintings, notably Brown and Silver: Old Battersea Bridge, produced soon after his arrival in London, mark one of his most profound and successful challenges to the art establishment of the time.
