Publisher’s Note Following the success of Ravilious we are delighted to be publishing the work of Winifred Nicholson in a book which explores her theories of colour and includes her late ‘prismatic’ pictures, many of which have never been published. These, together with many of her wellknown paintings, are reproduced and accompany the exhibition ‘Liberation of Colour’ at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. Interest in Nicholson and her place in twentieth-century British art continues to grow and this book opens up a little-known aspect of her work. Our relationship with the National Trust continues in a major new series on aspects of the decorative arts drawn from the Trust’s encyclopaedic collections. The first volume on Ceramics: A History of British Patronage, Collecting and Presentation 1550–1950 takes 100 key pieces from across the Trust’s properties and tells the individual stories behind them revealing their personal histories of ownership, display, taste and consumption. The second in the series is Silver for Entertaining: the Great Collection at Ickworth which analyses this important eighteenthcentury collection from stylistic and technical perspectives and sheds light on patronage, fashion and social history of the day. Two publications with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, celebrate the museum’s bi-centennial year: the first,

The Fitzwilliam Museum: A History, traces the museum’s history from its origins in the 1816 bequest of Richard, 7th Viscount Fitzwilliam, to the present day; the second, Contemporary British Crafts:The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum, is a highly illustrated record of this remarkable collection of contemporary ceramics, glass, furniture, woodwork, metalwork and jewellery. The magnificent collection of European, mainly medieval, tapestries collected by Sir William Burrell and in the care of Glasgow Museums has never previously been published and is the subject of a profusely illustrated scholarly catalogue which will become a benchmark for future research and interpretation of tapestries of the period. Philip Wilson Publishers continues to be at the forefront of publishing high quality art books, working internationally with a large number of museums and galleries across a wide range of fine and applied arts subjects. One of our strengths is the editing and production of books to accompany exhibitions: we have 45 years’ experience in this specialist field and are able to produce books of the highest aesthetic and technical quality at competitive prices for institutions and private collectors.

Winifred Nicholson

Winifred Nicholson Liberation of Colour Jovan Nicholson

Winifred Nicholson Liberation of Colour

This new publication explores the whole career of Winifred Nicholson with a special emphasis on her theories of colour. Using specific paintings to examine her ideas and writings about colour the book includes her late ‘prismatic’ pictures which have never been properly explained. Throughout her life Winifred Nicholson was interested in prisms and rainbows, but when she was given some prisms by a physicist friend in the mid 1970s her painting took on a new direction. Looking through a prism she saw objects with a rim of prismatic colour, and explored and developed these ideas, often painting pictures that verged on the abstract. Nicholson’s ‘prismatic’ pictures were a culmination of her life’s search to find “form’s secret and rhythmic law”. She painted them in Greece in 1979, at her home in Cumbria, and during her last painting trip to the Island of Eigg in the Hebrides in 1980, where she had an inspired period of painting and made some of her best loved pictures. Published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Liberation of Colour’ at mima, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern art, the book illustrates many previously unseen paintings from private collections, as well as some of Nicholson’s best known works, and draws on new research, including previously unseen archival material.

CERAMICS A History of British Patronage, Collecting and Presentation

Ceramics

A History of British Patronage, Collecting and Presentation, 1550–1950 Patricia Ferguson

The National Trust’s ceramic collection is vast and encyclopaedic, numbering approximately 75,000 artefacts, housed in 250 historic properties in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. What is distinct about the collection are the individual stories behind these objects that go beyond mere place and date of production, revealing the very personal histories of ownership, display, taste and consumption. Collectively, patterns emerge from these narratives documenting the acquisition, patronage and collecting of ceramics among the British aristocracy and gentry over four centuries. Some of these revelations are obvious, others are surprising and will stimulate new ways of understanding the material. One hundred ‘stories’ have been selected from this rich treasure trove of ceramics from Asia, Europe, Britain and the Americas. Rather than being presented in the usual chronological order by production date or divided by material, geography or use, this ground-breaking publication presents the material in the order these objects begin to appear in elite British households, based on documentary evidence in the form of original invoices, inventories, auction catalogues, dealer archives, paintings, and photographs. No other collection in the world has such a breadth and depth of provenance to present this critical timeline. Historic country house collections are assembled over centuries, with multiple layers of acquisition history. Rather than presenting the objects in isolation, where possible and appropriate the ceramics are illustrated in their original interiors. Following an introduction, the individual entries focus on production, exchange and appreciation, placing the objects in the socio-economic environment in which they were created for a broader understanding of their relevance today.

THE GREAT COLLECTION AT ICKWORTH

Silver for Entertaining

The Great Collection at Ickworth James Rothwell

JAMES ROTHWELL

One of the most important collections of eighteenth-century silver in Europe is to be found at Ickworth House in Suffolk. It extends to nearly a thousand pieces, is of the highest quality, style and exuberance of form and survives virtually intact along with extensive and previously untapped archival evidence of its commissioning and use, and of the diplomatic, political and court appointments of its principal patron, George William Hervey, 2nd Earl of Bristol (1721–75). The finest London makers of the time are represented including Paul de Lamerie, Paul Crespin and, in particular, Frederick Kandler, and it also contains a significant quantity of continental pieces, commissioned contemporaneously whilst Lord Bristol was in Turin. It was in part by maintaining a sufficient state of ‘magnificence’ there, and in Madrid, that the Earl could hold the diplomatic ground for Britain during the Seven Years War and his silver, of the latest French fashions and of opulent extent, was a critical tool in his armoury. This book, which will be lavishly illustrated, will analyse the individual objects from stylistic and technical perspectives, and use them to shed light on the patronage, fashion and social history of a vibrant and turbulent era of European history.

TAPESTRIES IN THE BURRELL COLLECTION

GLASGOW MUSEUMS

Tapestries in the Burrell Collection Elizabeth Cleland and Lorraine Karafel with contributions by Elizabeth Hancock, Sarah Foskett, Helen M. Hughes, Alison N. Hulme and Lore Troalen

Elizabeth Cleland and Lorraine Karafel

The magnificent collection of some 200 European, mainly medieval, tapestries acquired by Glasgow shipping magnate Sir William Burrell (1861–1958) is one of the largest and most important tapestry collections in the world. Although attempts to catalogue them have been made in the past, most have never been published and are therefore little known. The result of a three-year research project, this highly illustrated scholarly catalogue provides full details of place and date of production, materials and technique, provenance and exhibition history. Each entry also contains a detailed description of subject matter and interpretation of the iconography, including, where relevant, discussion of linked individual tapestries or series of associated tapestries in other locations. Any past or new theories about iconography and design are cited, with references. A discussion of context, such as noteworthy details about the patron or the production and information about related tapestries reusing the same cartoon in other locations, is included together with past and new research about makers and usage. Each tapestry entry is illustrated with a full colour image plus details and comparative illustrations where appropriate. The catalogue is prefaced by an essay on Burrell as a collector of tapestries and another on the history of the maintenance and care of tapestries. Appendices provide details of the dealers from whom Burrell bought the tapestries and on other noted collectors. An illustrated conservation essay, a glossary, a full bibliography and an index complete the volume. The resulting work provides a record of a major collection which will become a benchmark for future research and interpretation of tapestries of the period.

George Lance

George Lance Victorian Master of Still Life John Radcliffe and Mark Lance

George Lance VICTORIA N MA STER OF STILL LIFE

John Radcliffe and 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 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.

The Drawings of G. F. Watts

The Drawings of G. F. Watts Chloe Ward

George Frederic Watts (1817–1904) was one of the nineteenth century’s most celebrated British painters. Yet the thousands of drawings he produced during his career, either as studies for paintings or as independent works of art, have been the subject of surprisingly little research.Watts Gallery holds the largest collection of Watts’s works on paper, comprising approximately 800 studies, sketches and finished artworks that represent one of the most complete records of a Victorian artist’s development. These range from remarkable copies of engravings made when he was a mere ten years old to figurative sketches drawn shortly before his death at the age of 87. Elegant, technical, sensuous and ingenious, Watts’s drawings offer unequalled insight into a great artistic imagination. Revealing the choices and changes he made as he developed some of his most celebrated works, the artist’s drawings shed new light on his techniques, compositional decisions, and working processes.This book is the first in depth study of Watts’s drawings.

The Guy Ladrière Collection of Gems and Rings

The Guy Ladrière Collection of Gems and Rings Diana Scarisbrick, Claudia Wagner and John Boardman The Philip Wilson Gems and Jewellery Series, 1 Published in association with The Beazley Archive, Classical Art Research Centre, University of Oxford One of the world’s finest assemblages of rings and gemstones, the Guy Ladrière Collection in Paris is of major importance both to the collector and the art historian. Comprising some three hundred items, and including a rich and varied mixture of cameos and intaglios, the Collection ranges from the Bronze Age to engraved gemstones and rings of the nineteenth century. It incorporates many medieval pieces, Christian crystal plaques and Merovingian stones with inscriptions. Not the least valuable aspect of the Collection is the conspectus it gives of jewellery types and the various means of mounting the gems for wear – whether on fingers or dress – from the beginnings of ancient Greece to the end of the nineteenth century. Gem engraving was a means also of celebrating important occasions and beliefs, from marriage or victory to some of the more striking icons of paganism and Christianity. Composed in miniature but here presented in large colour illustration and with informed commentary, the gems thus provide astute and exquisite visual commentary on persons of importance, on significant events and on the other art forms of the day.

The Beverley Collection of Gems at Alnwick Castle Diana Scarisbrick, Claudia Wagner and John Boardman The Philip Wilson Gems and Jewellery Series, 2 Published in association with The Beazley Archive, Classical Art Research Centre, University of Oxford The Beverley gems are one of the major British gem collections of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They comprise some three hundred Greek, Roman, Mediaeval, Renaissance and Neo-classical pieces, many of them acquired from major European collections. This significant compendium contains a series of cameos which belonged to Cardinal Grimani (1461–1523), who showed them to several artists including Michelangelo Buonarotti. Michelangelo copied one of these for the pose of his famous painting of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

See page 12 for author biographies.

Several of the pieces are signed by famous ancient and neo-classical artists. The early history of the collecting undertaken by, respectively, Lady Alexandra Percy, the First Duke of Northumberland and the First Earl of Beverley (Lord Algernon Percy, 1749–1840), as well as the latter’s journeys in Europe, are discussed in detail. Each item is illustrated, enlarged – in original and impression or cast – and includes many nineteenth-century electrotypes: a novel technique no longer practised for such works. Altogether, the collection presents a full conspectus of the arts of ‘classical’ gem engraving from antiquity to Neo-classicism in prime specimens.

The Fitzwilliam Museum

The Fitzwilliam Museum A History 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 relatively 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.

Contemporary British Crafts

The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum Amanda Game

Nicholas and Judith Goodison’s remarkable gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum of contemporary ceramics, glass, furniture, woodwork, metalwork and jewellery, which they have built up over the last two decades, now numbers over 120 objects. It includes outstanding work by Martin Smith, Philip Eglin, Anna Dickinson, David Reekie, Alan Peters, David Poston, and Adam Paxon. The last purchase listed is a magnificent pair of chairs commissioned from John Makepeace and delivered in 2015. The purpose of the collection has been to introduce to the Museum some of the outstanding work being created by British designers and craftspeople today, thus complementing the Museum’s historic collections and reflecting the quality of teaching and practice in the field. The term ‘British’ includes craftspeople from overseas who have trained and worked in Britain. A secondary aim has been to introduce works that would create more colourful displays than the studio pottery of earlier years. The result has been to put the Museum on the ‘must visit’ list of anyone interested in contemporary work. This catalogue of the collection, authoritatively edited by Amanda Game, provides a valuable record of the skills of contemporary British craftspeople and of the rich possibilities that lie not just in buying their work but also in commissioning it – and in both cases enjoying it. The book contains a conversation between the editor and Nicholas Goodison about the collection and the craft scene, a fully illustrated catalogue in chronological order of acquisition, and a glossary of materials and techniques. It tells us much about the craft world and its products, but above all it is a record of skill, great beauty and elegance of design.

Soldiers and Suffragettes

Soldiers and Suffragettes The Photography of Christina Broom Anna Sparham with contributions by Margaret Denny, Diane Atkinson and Hilary Roberts In 1903 a self-taught novice photographer, Christina Broom, turned to photography as a business venture to support her family; from this modest beginning she was to emerge as Britain’s acknowledged pioneer woman press photographer. Unconventionally for women photographers of the time she took her camera to the streets and recorded arresting and historically important images of Suffragettes, sporting events, royal occasions and World War I soldiers and developed a significant enterprise in picture postcards which she published from her home in Fulham, London, till her death in 1939. Despite her camera’s presence at many significant historical events and her importance to press photography her achievements have, to date, been underappreciated; this, the first publication on her life and work redresses this. It also illuminates the vital role of her dedicated assistant and daughter, Winifred, without whom Broom’s substantial contribution to photography might have been lost. The book showcases Broom’s remarkable work celebrating her personal journey, approach and skill through many rich photographs. Drawn from the Museum of London’s fine collection of her glass plate negatives and prints these reflect her visual style and spectrum of subjects. Essays from four women who have engaged closely with her work for several years explore and contextualise her imagery and reveal the compelling story of the women behind the lens. The book was first published to accompany the exhibition Soldiers & Suffragettes: the Photography of Christina Broom at the Museum of London Docklands.

Designing Utopia

Designing Utopia John Hargrave and the Kibbo Kift

Cathy Ross and Oliver Bennett ‘

This is the first detailed account of the remarkable British writer and artist John Hargrave (1894–1982) and his three creations: the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, the Green Shirt Movement for Social Credit and the Social Credit Party of Great Britain. Combining art, politics and design to visually stunning effect, Hargrave and his followers created a maverick but uniquely English form of modernism, one which harked back to a mythical past but also looked forward to a futuristic Utopia when mankind would be freed from the tyranny of work and war. A product of his turbulent times, Hargrave believed in ritual, ceremony, symbology and the ‘resolute imagination’ of the creative individual as the keys to a better world. The book draws on the extensive visual archive of the Kibbo Kift, held at the Museum of London, comprising graphic designs, photographs, ceremonial objects, banners, costume, regalia, log books and archive material, much of which has not been seen in public since the 1920s and 1930s. The collection includes many striking photographs by Angus McBean, official ‘Kin Photographer’ in the late 1920s. Designing Utopia also touches on Hargrave’s career as a writer. In his novels, as with his graphics, Hargrave’s imagination drew from the fragmented modern world of mass culture, advertising and film he saw around him and recast its elements in ways that suited his convictions about social order.

Hargrave and the Kibbo Kift have been under-explored by cultural historians. But their time has come. The story of the Kibbo Kift has strong resonances with twenty-first-century debates about art, politics, individualism, anti-capitalism, nature and the environment. It is also a story about English youth adapting to a new century, new ideologies and a new sense of possibilities in a global world. Published in association with the Museum of London

Newmarket has a unique historic position as the acknowledged home of horseracing. Yet until now no book has provided a definitive history of the heath itself linked to the key figures who contributed to its transformation from untamed heath land to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest racing ground, and the origins and development of the Jockey Club. This comprehensive and authoritative book traces this history from its early beginnings to the present day and shows how and why the sport of horseracing developed on the Heath and spread globally from that base. All of the turfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest racehorses and the larger-than-life characters integral to the Heathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history are included. The first part provides a broad chronological history of the Heath â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from its discovery by James I in 1605 to the present day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 Newmarketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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 reproduced here 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.

Renaissance Bronze-founders in Verona

Joseph de Levis and Company Renaissance Bronze-founders in Verona Charles Avery

Charles Avery

A compelling story about an Italian family of sixteenth century Jewish bronze artists. Joseph [also known as Giuseppe] de Levis applied his distinctive signature (between 1577 and 1605) to a whole range of fantastic, Mannerist, bronze artefacts, some 45 in all. They range from large church-bells – some still in situ – and miniature table-bells, to mortars, inkstands, perfume-burners, door-knockers, firedogs, statuettes, and even a portrait-bust. Joseph’s sons and nephews continued the family business into the seventeenth century, signing a similar range of artefacts in an early Baroque style, including two rare mortars that are cast with Hebrew letters and ornament, as well as other intriguing Judaica. Round this core of guaranteed work a corpus of reasonable attributions may be made on stylistic and circumstantial grounds, giving a total of some 140 items. This provides a unique cross-section of the production of a hard-working and resilient renaissance foundry. Frequently inscriptions and coats-of-arms specify Joseph’s wide-ranging clientèle, from civic and church authorities, to guilds and confraternities (all-important in society at the time), nobility, merchants and connoisseur-collectors. Bronzes by the De Levis dynasty are now dispersed among museums in Europe, the USA and Israel, and in Old Master collections, notably that of the late Robert H. Smith, whose foundation purchased in 2002 the eye-catching Ewer from the Salomon de Rothschild Foundation in Paris for £276,000. This well illustrated catalogue raisonné is therefore important both art-historically and from the perspective of the Jewish Diaspora in Renaissance Italy.

The Practical Watch Escapement

The Practical Watch Escapement George Daniels

One of George Daniels’s central contributions to horology was his co-axial escapement. Observing over many years that the dominant lever escapement begins to change its rate after a year or two – a disturbance undoubtedly caused by the sliding action of the impulse elements of the escapement – Daniels set about developing a mechanism that avoided this problem. The result of his efforts was the co-axial escapement, a mechanism in which he sought to combine the strengths and eliminate the deficiencies of existing watch escapements, the lever escapement foremost among them. First devised in 1977, today it remains largely the same as fitted in watches of Daniels’s own manufacture, as well as those of several wrist-watch manufacturers. This book explains the action of the escapement in terms accessible to both expert and layperson, and is accompanied by a series of detailed line drawings.

George Daniels, CBE, DSC (HONS), FSA, FCGI, FBHI, FAWI was a practising horologist with over ﬁfty years’ experience in both antiquarian and modern watchmaking, and was a pastmaster of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. Amongst his awards for contribution to the art and science of watchmaking – including the design of his own escapements – were the Tompion Gold Medal, The British Horological Institute Gold Medal, The City and Guilds of London Gold Medal, The Arts Sciences and Learning Award of the City of London and the Victor Kullberg Medal of the Stockholm Watchmakers’ Guild.

The Stylemakers

Classic Modernist Design 1915–1945 Mo Amelia Teitelbaum

In 1920s Paris a new style was born. Turning his back on the curves and embellishments of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, iconic interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank allied the linear proportions of late eighteenth-century furniture to a twentieth-century perception, paring down superfluous detail to the essence of classic modernism. This new style would have been the first manifestation of minimalism and classic modernism had Frank’s ideas not been advocated and practised, long before, by the woman to whom he said he owed more or less everything he knew. This ‘Lady from Chile’ as Cecil Beaton called her, was Eugenia Errázuriz,early patron and lifelong friend of Picasso and Stravinsky. Although she spent sixty years of her life in Europe, Eugenia Errázuriz was from Chile and came to be part of a truly international group of stylemakers in Paris. A circle of artists, musicians, composers, choreographers, fashion designers, interior designers, writers, patrons of the arts and collectors came together. Avant-garde in every sense of the term, they flouted convention and openly shared their passions artistically, socially and sexually. Prominent in the circle were wealthy South Americans, whose love for the fine French cabinetmakers of the late eighteenth century and willingness to move boldly into the twentieth century, to espouse the new while respecting the best of the past, meant that they made a significant contribution to the success of the classic modernist style. The names of those who were part of this charmed circle appear on the cover of this book. Their lives and lifestyle, their interchange of partners and ideas led to innovation in every field of the arts.

Following a BA in French and an MA in South Asian studies, Mo Teitelbaum found herself in Paris in the early 1970s,engaged in research for a PhD on the history of French Indochina. One single event then made her change focus as a historian – a meeting with Eileen Gray. The article she wrote on the ninetysix-year-old designer, published in the Sunday Times Magazine, was the ﬁrst to reach a mass readership. Major museum exhibitions on Eileen Gray followed. Concerned now that other extraordinary lives and talents may have been overlooked, Teitelbaum now dedicates herself to retrieving ‘lost’ histories to present to a wider public. For example, she wrote about the littleknown stark and unique architecture of the ﬁrst modernist villa on the Mediterranean – Mallet-Stevens’ Villa Noailles – published in The World of Interiors. Six years of research in South America resulted in The Stylemakers.

OF FAITH

3,500 YEARS OF ART AND BELIEF IN NORFOLK

Edited by Andrew Moore and Margit Thøfner

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.

In no other form are the ideals of the Renaissance better exemplified than in small bronze sculpture. This book examines one of the finest collections in the world, and provides a lucid account of the ways in which the sculptures were modelled, cast, assembled, tooled and coloured.

The book tells the story of the impact of G.F.Watts, a major nineteenth-century artist, and his wife Mary Watts on Compton, a small village in Surrey which became their artists’ retreat and where they built the Watts Gallery, the Compton Pottery, and the extraordinary Cemetery Chapel.

This book, the first of its kind to be dedicated solely to the art of Bon religion and culture, aims to explore and reveal the hidden treasures of this frequently disregarded religion in a series of essays by scholars esteemed in the field.

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.

The editors bring together seven invited contributors to offer multiple perspectives on the proposal that a position of ambiguity and a lack of definition is not only desirable within fine art drawing but also necessary.

This selection of seventeenth century paintings by the Dutch Italianates celebrates the startling beauty of their vision of Italy, their virtuosity, observation, and humour, as well as telling the story of Dulwich Picture Gallery itself, and the remarkable men (and woman) who founded it.

Edvard Munch P R I N T S

Senior Curator of the Munch Museum until 2010 and Curator of prints and drawings between 1973–2001. Woll has published countless essays and catalogues that deal with Munch’s prints. In 2001 she completed a catalogue raisonné of the prints, Edvard Munch. The Complete Graphic Works (Philip Wilson Publishers, London). The topic of her Masters thesis at the University of Oslo – Munch’s Workers Frieze – was later explored in several catalogue essays and exhibitions, the most comprehensive of which was Edvard Munch – Monumental Projects 1909–1930 (Lillehammer Art Museum 1993). From 2003 onwards she was responsible for the Catalogue Raisonné project at the Munch-museet, which in 2008/2009 resulted in the four volume tome Edvard Munch. Complete Paintings (Thames & Hudson, London). Since 2009 until the present day she has been working on this new edition of the complete catalogue of Munch’s prints, which is published in Norwegian by Orfeus Publishing (Oslo) and in English by Orfeus/Philip Wilson Publishers in London. Woll became Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 2010.

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.

The Face of Courage Eric Kennington, Portraiture and The Second World War

Jonathan Black

The Fabergé Menagerie William R. Johnston

GA R R AR D & C O .

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.

two world wars took its toll on the business. The demand for extravagant jewellery declined and, despite diversifying into the manufacture of high quality gramophone players in Swindon, the firm suffered. After the death of Sebastian Henry, the author’s grandfather in 1946, the firm was sold under circumstances that some considered bordered on the fraudulent and its eventual demise was shrouded in a much publicised court case. This intimate family history enriched with personal photographs, paints a brilliant panorama of domestic life of the time, set against the backdrop of privilege, wealth and the glories of the Empire.

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.

Franz Marc The Complete Works Volume III Sketchbooks and Prints The definitive work on this major German Expressionist painter

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. 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. II), this book now makes Franz Marc’s complete œuvre accessible to the general public in a form that has never been available before. In doing so it represents the standard work for lovers of art, scholars and collectors alike, giving many fresh insights into this remarkable figure.

Bath and Beyond

This text re-examines the work John Piper was officially commissioned to make during the Second World War and puts it in context with work from pre-war and post-war years. Examples of Piper’s oeuvre included are his theatre designs, architectural paintings, the Recording Britain project neo-Romanticism and Welsh landscape paintings.

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.

John Salt’s exquisite and intriguing evocations of abandoned cars and dilapidated trailers, often depicted in a rural setting, expand our definition of landscape and place him among the foremost realist painters of his generation.

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.

LONDON’ S LOST JEW ELS

In 1912, labourers on a building site in Cheapside in the City of London unearthed a great trove of gemstones and jewels which had lain undisturbed for some three hundred years. Known and celebrated as the Cheapside Hoard, it is still the largest cache of its kind to have been discovered. These objects, dazzlingly beautiful, intricate and often astonishing, are evocative emissaries from London’s past. The Cheapside Hoard remains the single most important source of our knowledge of the Elizabethan and early Stuart jewellers’ trade and, by extension, life and fashion in London society of the era. London’s Lost Jewels has been written to accompany a glittering new exhibition at the Museum of London, which marks the hundredth anniversary of the original public display and for the first time reveals the Cheapside Hoard in its entirety. It provides much new information about the city’s role in the international gem and jewellery trade during one of the most dynamic periods of English history. A wealth of fascinating stories and lavish illustrations bring these exquisite treasures to life.

Milos Sobaïc’s work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms – paintings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both painting and sculpture. These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his 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.

THE PERSISTENCE O F T H E C LA S S I CA L

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 s, 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.

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.

A Late 1960s Home for Art and Design Jonathan Black, David Falkner, Fiona Fisher, Fran Lloyd, Rebecca Preston, Penny Sparke

In this volume fifteen distinguished writers on architecture offer essays to mark the retirement of Professor David Watkin from the University of Cambridge. The book is divided into three sections all linked by the common theme of classicism in architecture.

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 unaltered.

This book, published in association with the National Trust, is lavishly illustrated with photographs of the glittering Roman Cabinet at Stourhead and examples of other pieces of pietre dure inlaid furniture in English collections. A description and stylistic analysis of the Cabinet itself precedes a trail of detection which takes it back to Pope Sixtus V’s Roman villa.

The book explores the rich literary character and rhetorical strategies of Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, which tells the story of Italian art as it unfolded from its beginnings in the Trecento to its pinnacle with Michelangelo and the art of the Academy in the mid-sixteenth century.

Although concerned with one particularly fine collection, this book provides a comprehensive account of the objets de luxe made during the Renaissance, throughout the eighteenth century and at the Russian court around 1900.

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.

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.
