Publisher’s Note 2018 marks the 45th year since PWP started publishing its internationally acclaimed list of high quality illustrated monographs on the fine and applied arts, museum and private collection catalogues, catalogues raisonnés and exhibition catalogues. We begin this year with three outstanding monographs. The first surveys the life and work of Edward Bawden, a fellow artist to Eric Ravilious, who began his career in the 1920s as a talented designer and illustrator and successfully reinvented himself over several decades. The book and the exhibition it accompanies explore in depth the most significant creative periods of Bawden’s life, highlighting the innovative watercolours he produced in the 1930s, the startling series of portraits he painted while travelling as a war artist and the vivid linocuts he made post-war in response to changing public tastes. Of equal importance is a publication which accompanies the first UK exhibition of modern Canadian artist David Milne (1882– 1953) and brings together 100 of his most significant paintings. Drawing on works in Canadian public and private collections, photographs and Milne’s own writings, the book presents an account of the artist’s voyage into modernity from the bustling sidewalks of New York to the war torn landscapes of northern France and back to the lakes and woods of Ontario.
John White Alexander (1856–1915); we publish the first biography of this relatively little known painter, whose work has been compared with that of his contemporary John Singer Sargent, which provides the reader with a clear understanding of Alexander’s life, the varied cultural contexts in which he worked, and the breadth of his artistic achievement. Important new titles focusing on the applied arts include Gilded Interiors: Parisian Luxury & the Antique which showcases the world-renowned collection of French eighteenth-century gilt bronzes at the Wallace Collection, and Designers and Jewellery 1850–1940: Jewellery and Metalwork from the Fitzwilliam Museum which combines 50 of the Museum’s key pieces from this fruitful period of design, many previously unpublished, with biographies of their makers. Our existing book on the history of Newmarket Heath is one of the most important titles in print on the history of racing and we are therefore delighted to announce as a sequel a completely revised and expanded edition of the Jockey Club’s catalogue of its several hundred paintings, prints, bronzes and trophies acquired over three centuries.
Another significant North American artist of an earlier period is the Pittsburgh-born

Edward Bawden
EDWARD BAWDEN
Edward Bawden James Russell
In 2018 Dulwich Picture Gallery hosts a major retrospective of Edward Bawden’s long and distinguished career. Edward Bawden RA CBE (1903– 89) was widely admired in his lifetime and is still well known today as an illustrator, printmaker and commercial designer of rare talent. While showcasing the best of Bawden’s work in these disciplines, this accompanying catalogue will also reassess his achievements as a fine artist, looking particularly at his pre-war watercolours and at the series of wartime portraits he made in North Africa and the Middle East as well as in the UK. Not since Bawden’s death has such a wide-ranging collection of his work been assembled, with linocuts and engravings, collage, large-scale maps, studies for design and mural work – even a Victorian-style peep show. Once described as ‘a reluctant national treasure’, Bawden began his career in the 1920s as a precociously talented designer and illustrator, and he successfully reinvented himself time and again as the decades passed, while always retaining a distinctive freshness, humour and humanity. Following the thematic structure of the exhibition, this richly illustrated book includes a number of previously unpublished works alongside Bawden’s most significant watercolours, linocuts, engravings, book illustrations and commercial designs. With themes close to Bawden’s heart, such as gardening, the book is both a colourful introduction to the work of a remarkable twentieth century British artist and an intimate portrait of a fascinating man.

David Milne
David Milne Edited by Sarah Milroy and Ian A.C. Dejardin
DAViD MiLNE
This comprehensive survey of the life and work of the Canadian artist David Milne (1882–1953) accompanies the first UK exhibition of Milne’s work at Dulwich Picture Gallery and brings together one hundred and twenty of his most significant works in oil, watercolour and dry-point printmaking. Like the members of the Group of Seven, Milne primarily chose landscape as his subject matter. However, his true subject was the process of perception and representation, reducing his painting to its essentials and infusing it with his own distinctive modern sensibility. Through the use of photographs, archival material and Milne’s own writings the book presents a moving account of one man’s spiritual and emotional voyage into modernity – from his early life in small town Ontario, to the bustling sidewalks of New York, on to the war torn landscapes of northern France as an official war artist and back again to the woods, lakes and fields of upstate New York. Pivoting as it does on Milne’s war art, which includes some of the most formally daring of his career, the publication will serve as a poignant locus of remembrance, underscoring the historic bond between Canada and Great Britain, and offering a unique perspective on history through the eyes of one of Canada’s most sophisticated modern painters.

John White Alexander
John White alexander an american artist in the gilded age Mary Anne Goley
John White Alexander
At the time of his death, the Pittsburgh-born John White Alexander (1856–1915) was an internationally recognized portrait painter, on a par with his contemporaries John Singer Sargent and William Merritt Chase. However, the works that have earned him even greater acclaim than his portraits are his figure paintings of women striking evocative poses and elaborately attired in flowing dresses. Alexander had been much in demand as a portraitist, both of men and children as well as women, but his real talent lay in his ability to capture the essence of the female form. This talent blossomed after he encountered Juliette Very, the Parisian model who became his muse. Inspired by Juliette, his paintings of women are imbued with sentiment expressed through movement and gesture, and it was the portrayal of his models in this way that brought him fame. In finding his own unique style, he applied the lessons of muted and harmonious coloration from James McNeil Whistler and learned to use bold abstract forms and flowing lines from the post-impressionist group of painters, the Nabis.

William Morris
William Morris Architecture, Interiors and Design at Red House Tessa Wild
William Morris: Architecture, Interiors and Design at Red House is a comprehensive new study of Red House, Bexleyheath; the only house commissioned by William Morris and the first independent architectural work of his close friend, Philip Webb. Morris moved in to Red House as an ebullient young man of 26, with an independent income and a head brimming with ideas and the persistent question of ‘how best to live?’ Red House, together with its Pre-Raphaelite garden, stands as the physical embodiment of his exuberant spirit, youthful ambition, passionate medievalism, creativity and great sense of possibility. For five intense years from 1860–5, it was a place of halcyon days – happy family life, loyal friendship, good humoured competition, and the jovial campaign of decorating; furnishing the house and designing the garden to meet his emergent taste for strong colour, complex pattern making and medieval inspired furniture and gardens. Recent research has revealed that the original decorative finishes have survived to a surprising degree, providing tantalising glimpses and in several instances complete schemes, of Morris’s rich, polychromatic interiors of 1860–5. Drawing on a wealth of new physical evidence, this book will argue that Red House constitutes an ambitious and critical chapter in his design history which reveals Morris’s early confidence and artistic breadth through his little known, experimental aesthetic. It will re-consider the inspiration it provided for the founding of ‘the Firm’ of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (later Morris & Co.), in 1861, and the vital collaboration of Webb, Burne-Jones, Rossetti and their intimate circle in realising Morris’s dream for his house.

Chinese Wallpaper
Chinese Wallpaper
in Britain and Ireland Emile de Bruijn
Chinese wallpaper has been an important element of European interior decoration for three hundred years. As trade between Europe and China flourished in the seventeenth century, Europeans developed a strong taste for Chinese art and design. The stunningly beautiful wallcoverings now known as ‘Chinese wallpaper’ were developed by Chinese painting workshops in response to western demand. A sophisticated synthesis of eastern and western art, Chinese wallpapers were an early-modern global product and they are still popular and influential today. In spite of their spectacular beauty, Chinese wallpapers have not been studied in any depth until fairly recently. This book provides an overview of some of the most significant Chinese wallpapers surviving in the British Isles. Sumptuously illustrated, it shows how these wallpapers became a staple ingredient of high-end British and Irish interiors while always retaining a touch of the exotic. The book charts the stylistic development of Chinese wallpaper, allowing individual wallpapers to be more securely dated. It also touches on the China trade, the crucial role of the paper-hangers and the social significance of Chinese-style decoration in Britain.

Gainsborough and the Theatre
Gainsborough and the Theatre Hugh Belsey and Susan Sloman
Based on new research this book draws together a group of works from public and private collections to examine, for the first time, the relationship that Gainsborough had with the theatrical world and the most celebrated stage artists of his day. His advocate Henry Bate, editor of the Morning Herald, wrote one of the most successful theatrical afterpieces of the period. Thomas Gainsborough (1727–88) was linked with the stage through personal friendships with James Quinn, David Garrick and Sarah Siddons, the most renowned actors of the eighteenth century. He painted notable portraits of these and twenty others, including dramatists, dancers and composers. Not long after Gainsborough moved from Bath to London in 1774 the management of the Drury Lane Theatre passed to the artist’s friends Richard Brinsley Sheridan and Thomas Linley. At this period London’s theatres were undergoing regular refurbishment to take account of technical innovations in lighting and stage machinery. At the King’s Theatre in Haymarket in 1778 the ‘elegant improvements’ included frontispiece figures emblematic of Music and Dancing painted in monochrome by Gainsborough. The book establishes the artist’s place within Bath and London’s theatrical worlds. It will show why the art of ballet, and in particular Gainsborough’s sitters Gaetan Vestris, Auguste Vestris and Giovanna Baccelli rose to prominence in 1780, and examines parallels between Gainsborough’s much admired painterly naturalism and the theatrical naturalism of David Garrick and Mrs Siddons.

The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale Junior
The Life and Work of
Thomas Chippendale Junior Judith Goodison
The Chippendale cabinet-making firm, founded by Thomas Chippendale senior in about 1750 became famous partly through the successful publication of his The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director (1754, republished 1755 and 1762), and partly through the fine furniture supplied to a number of illustrious clients. Chippendale senior ran the workshop for just over twenty years. His eldest son Thomas Chippendale junior continued the business for over forty, the first two decades in partnership with Thomas Haig. Chippendale senior’s work has been well documented by Christopher Gilbert in his book The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale (1978). Chippendale junior’s work has never, until now, been thoroughly researched. The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale Junior repairs this omission. It gives the younger Chippendale the audience he deserves. Judith Goodison’s research in family archives, bank records and county record offices has unearthed valuable new information. Chippendale impresses as a skilled and innovative designer, and the author suggests some possible sources for his inspiration. His patrons included members of the Royal Family, aristocrats, landed gentry and antiquarians. He was adept at satisfying their demands, whether they required lavish gilt or simpler, often mahogany, pieces. Where family archives and original settings survive, as at Harewood House, Paxton House and Stourhead, they reveal the variety and quality of Chippendale’s output. Analysis of clients’ invoices, even when the furniture can no longer be traced, for the first time provides a colourful view of what customers chose and what prices they paid.

Michelangelo
Michelangelo Sculptor in Bronze
The Art, Anatomy, Technology and Design of the Rothschild Bronzes Edited by Victoria Avery
Michelangelo (1475–1564) – Sculptor, Painter, Architect, Poet – was recognised as a genius from early in his career. Best known for his largescale marble statues, Michelangelo also produced sculpture in clay, stucco, wood and bronze. Until recently, it was thought that none of his work in bronze had survived. However, in 2015, after a year-long period of study and examination, an international team of experts led by academics from Cambridge University proposed that a stunning pair of unsigned and undocumented nude male figures astride fantastical panthers – known as the Rothschild bronzes – were by Michelangelo. Based on stylistic arguments, they dated the sculptures to c. 1506–8, around the time of Michelangelo’s colossal bronze portrait of Pope Julius II (now lost), so just after the marble David and before the Sistine Chapel ceiling, when Michelangelo was at his creative height. This attribution was subjected to unprecedented multi-disciplinary scrutiny, including anatomical investigation, scientific analysis (using neutron imaging and real-time X-ray videography) and archaeo-metallurgical reconstruction. As a result, the attribution is now widely accepted, making the Rothschild bronzes a vital new addition to Michelangelo’s œuvre, and our understanding of his work in this material. These enigmatic and visually-striking bronze masterpieces are the focal point of this multi-authored, interdisciplinary volume, which contains ground-breaking contributions by leading international experts in the field of art history, anatomy, conservation science and bronze-casting.

Jewellery and Metalwork from the Fitzwilliam Museum Helen Ritchie
The Fitzwilliam Museum holds stunning examples of jewellery and metalwork from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This exceptional period of design covers the neo-Gothic and historicist designs of the 1850s and 1860s, the ground-breaking work of British Arts & Crafts designers, the sinuous curves influenced by the European Art Nouveau movement and the structural modernity of the 1930s. The mid-late nineteenth century fashion for historicism is represented by some of the finest jewellers of the time including Alessandro Castellani, the Giuliano family and John Brogden, as well as a spectacular decanter by William Burges. There are important pieces of jewellery and silver by the most famous of Arts & Crafts designers, including C.R. Ashbee, Henry Wilson, Gilbert Marks and John Paul Cooper, as well as unique jewellery designed by the artist Charles Ricketts, which holds a special place in the history of queer art in Britain, having been designed for his friends, the couple Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper, known collectively as Michael Field. Modernist silver is well-represented by leaders of the field, Omar Ramsden and Harry G. Murphy. This beautifully illustrated volume reproduces over 50 of the Museum’s most important pieces from this period, many previously unpublished, with comparative illustrations of the original designs. Importantly, the book is arranged chronologically by designer with biographies, a description of their work and how it changed over time, as well as commentary about the specific works in the Museum’s collection. The resulting book therefore brings together for the first time the Museum’s exceptionally fine holdings of jewellery and metalwork from this highly popular and fruitful period of design.

Masterpieces in Miniature
Masterpieces in Miniature Engraved Gems from Prehistory to the Present
John Boardman and Claudia Wagner The Philip Wilson Gems and Jewellery Series, 3 Published in association with The Beazley Archive, Classical Art Research Centre, University of Oxford
The creation of miniature intaglios – or incised carvings – which could be impressed on clay or wax was one of the earliest crafts of civilisation. To this the Greeks added relief cameos, while comparable skills were lavished on the decoration of metal finger rings. These artefacts record subjects of significance for their period and place but are also the direct expression of an artist’s skills and imagination. Engraved gems were collected first by the ancient Romans and then throughout the Renaissance were a source for knowledge of ‘classical’ subjects and styles, when they were copied – from Michelangelo to Rubens – by the foremost artists of the day. The gemstones explored here are from a distinguished collection made in the earlier twentieth century by a notable connoisseur of ancient art. Many originate from named older European collections and were previously unknown to scholars and collectors.

Ships of the Silk Road
Ships of the Silk Road The Bactrian Camel in Chinese Jade Angus Forsyth
For hundreds of years the Bactrian camel ploughed a lonely furrow across the vast wilderness of Asia. This bizarre-looking, temperamental yet hardy creature here came into its own as the core goods vehicle, resolutely and reliably transporting to China – over huge and unforgiving distances – fine things from the West while taking treasures out of the Middle Kingdom in return. Where the chariot, wagon and other wheeled conveyances proved useless amidst the shifting desert dunes, the surefooted progress of the camel – archetypal ‘ship of the Silk Road’ – now reigned supreme. The Bactrian camel was a subject that appealed particularly to Chinese artists because of its association with the exotic trade to mysterious Western lands. In his lavishly illustrated volume, Angus Forsyth explores diverse jade pieces depicting this iconic beast of burden. Almost one hundred separate objects are included, many of which have not been seen in print before. At the same time the author offers the full historical background to his subject. The book will have a strong appeal to collectors and art historians alike.

The Jockey Club
The Jockey Club Collection
A Catalogue and the Story of its Creation over Three Centuries David Oldrey
The Jockey Club’s first premises in St James’s Street reflected its members’ habit of living among racing pictures, but their collective tastes could only be fully indulged after it built a large Coffee Room in Newmarket in 1752 and then multiplied the accommodation in 1771 on the site still occupied today. Over the centuries members have given the Club scores of pictures marking the triumphs of their horses. More have come as bequests of prized possessions and recently a few have been added by purchase. Some of the paintings by Stubbs, Herring, Munnings and others are amongst the best racing art in existence. Many are by lesser artists but taken together as a whole the contents of the Jockey Clubs Rooms are enough to fascinate anyone with even a passing interest in sporting pictures or racing. This catalogue much extends the previous one published in 2006 which was arranged in the order of the Rooms in which paintings were hung; in this new publication works are arranged under the names of their creators with short biographies of the more important artists. There are some 50 additions of which perhaps the most important are life-sized bronze friends for Hyperion, a particularly fine Ferneley, and a portrait of The Queen with her Gold Cup winner, Estimate. The Collection consists of several hundred paintings, prints, bronzes and trophies plus some slightly macabre bits of champions made into all sorts of artefacts, usually mounted feet. Taken together they give an accurate impression of the importance of the Jockey Club`s contribution to the development of the thoroughbred, for long the fastest and still the most beautiful way of getting from here to there.

Orientalist Lives
Orientalist Lives Western Artists in the Middle East, 1830−1920 James Parry
In one of the most remarkable artistic pilgrimages in history, the nineteenth century saw scores of Western artists heading to the Middle East. Inspired by the allure of the exotic Orient, they went in search of subjects for their paintings. Orientalist Lives looks at what led this surprisingly diverse and idiosyncratic group of men − and some women − to often remote and potentially dangerous locations, from Morocco to Egypt, the Levant and Turkey. There they lived, worked, and travelled for weeks or months on end, gathering material with which to create art for their clients back in the drawing-rooms of Boston, London, and Paris. Based on his research in museums, libraries, archives, galleries, and private collections across the world, James Parry traces these journeys of cultural and artistic discovery. From the early pioneer David Roberts through the heyday of leading stars such as Jean-Léon Gérôme and Frederick Arthur Bridgman, to Orientalism’s post-1900 decline, he describes how these travelling artists prepared for their expeditions, coped with working in unfamiliar and challenging surroundings, engaged with local people, and then took home to their studios the memories, sketches, and collections of artefacts necessary to create the works for which their audiences clamoured.

James Parry is a writer and lecturer on the art, architecture, and history of the Middle East. He has worked in many countries across the region and for a wide range of publications and heritage organizations. He lives in Norfolk, England.
Excerpts from letters and diaries, including little-known accounts and previously unpublished material, as well as photographs, sketches, and other original illustrations, bring alive the impressions, experiences, and careers of the Orientalists and shed light on how they created what are now once again recognised as masterpieces of art.

Tapestries from the Burrell Collection
The magnificent collection of some fourteenth- to seventeenth-century European tapestries acquired by Glasgow shipping magnate Sir William Burrell (–) 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.
Lavishly illustrated, this book presents comprehensive entries for each of the tapestries in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, Scotland. New research by an international team of experts details how, where, when and why these tapestries were made. By analysing their raw materials and identifying the quirks of their weavers’ techniques, by exploring their subject matter and design sources, occasionally linking them with named designers and weavers, and by discussing their original patrons and owners, each of the entries unveils the unique treasures within the Burrell’s tapestry collection. Taken as a whole, this is a readable and informative survey of medieval, Renaissance and early modern European tapestries, including key examples from all the major production centres, celebrating the medium’s significance and appeal for its original audiences. The collection’s remarkable survival, remaining together as a group, also provides an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the tastes, and the opportunities, available to an enlightened early twentieth-century collector such as Burrell, acquiring his tapestries during one of the most intense and exciting eras of modern collecting history.
Elizabeth Cleland and Lorraine Karafel
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 amongst his contemporaries. Illustrated conservation essays, 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.

The Face of Courage Eric Kennington, Portraiture and The Second World War
The Face of Courage
Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. His penetrating charcoal and pastel portraits were greatly admired by many of his leading artistic contemporaries including Wyndham Lewis, Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sargent. His draughtsmanship was also held in high regard by famous contemporaries in many fields and he could count as friends such as: T.E. Lawrence; Robert Graves; Siegfried Sassoon; George Bernard Shaw; J.B. Priestley; Kenneth Clark; John Rothenstein; Basil Liddell Hart; Julian Huxley and H.E. Bates.

The Face of Courage Eric Kennington, Portraiture and The Second World War
Jonathan Black
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.
Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. This book, which has received excellent reviews, focuses on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War.

The Complete Works Volume 1: The Oil Paintings
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.

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. This book represents the first retrospective of this significant artist whose influence was felt in his lifetime and later through the work of Van Gogh who greatly admired Holl.
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
Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most important members of the Blue Rider group of painters, which marked the high point of German Expressionism. This volume, the first of a three-part catalogue raisonné of the artist’s work, is devoted to the oil paintings.
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.

The definitive work on this major German Expressionist painter
Annegret Hoberg and Isabelle Jansen
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.
The third and final volume of the catalogue raisonné contains thirty-two sketchbooks and hundreds of drawings. Over one thousand sketchbook pages are catalogued and reproduced for the first time, with details of provenance and present location.
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.

William Etty
William Orpen
Edited by Sarah Burnage, Mark Hallett and Laura Turner
Robert Upstone, Roy Foster, and David Fraser Jenkins
One of the most successful British artists of the early nineteenth century, Etty’s work has recently been neglected. The only major study of Etty’s work in over fifty years reassesses his use of the nude, his training at the Royal Academy and his large scale historical canvases and proposes a new framework within which his art can be understood.
This monograph reappraises an artist who, at the time of his death in 1931 was probably the best-known painter in Britain. The book reveals the full variety of his work, from his revitalization of the nude to his extraordinary allegories and war paintings, and analyses the self-portraits that are a particular feature of his work.
