Making Emmanuel Cooper Life and Work from his Memoirs, Letters, Diaries and Interviews E����� �� D���� H������ Potter, writer, teacher, editor, curator and gay rights activist, Emmanuel Cooper was a unique figure in the cultural landscape of this country for almost half a century. When he died in 2012 he left behind not only an extraordinary body of work, but also an archive that illuminated both his own life and career and that of the many other makers, artists and activists who had been his friends, colleagues or the subject of his writing. This book is based almost exclusively on that archive. Using his unpublished memoirs, diaries, and correspondence, Making Emmanuel Cooper illuminates the journey of an intelligent, if unconfident, working class boy growing up in a small north Derbyshire mining village whose life was transformed, firstly at school, by the magic of clay, and then in adult life by the liberation politics of the late 1960s. Richly illustrated, Making Emmanuel Cooper is both a personal and a social history that celebrates the life and times of an important artist and remarkable man. David Horbury was born in Yorkshire in 1959. He graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London and subsequently worked as a producer and scriptwriter for the BBC and other media companies. He met Emmanuel Cooper in 1982 and they lived together until Emmanuel’s death in 2012. They celebrated their Civil Partnership in 2006.

Artfully Dressed Women in the Art World
Portraits by Carla van de Puttelaar C���� ��� �� P�������� In the spring of 2017, Carla van de Puttelaar developed a new and timely series devoted to prominent and promising women in the art world, Artfully Dressed: Women in the Art World. While working on this ongoing project, Van de Puttelaar became even more impressed by the personalities and achievements of these women.

The women are dressed in amazing quality clothes by top designers, in period costumes or vintage clothes, or wrapped in stunning and luxurious fabrics. To date, over 250 women worldwide have participated in Van de Puttelaar’s project, and the series continues to grow and has become an important document of the present time of women in the art world. Dr Carla van de Puttelaar is an artist and art historian. She has been awarded several art prizes including the Prix de Rome Basic Prize. Her photographic work has gained worldwide recognition and she has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world.

The Geometry of Beauty
The Not Very British Art of Six British Artists J���� B����� In this deeply personal study, James Bartos situates British geometric abstraction within the context of a broader international movement which spanned the course of the twentieth century, and which continues into our own time. The author’s thoughtful consideration of Alan Reynolds, Peter Joseph, Marc Vaux, John Carter, Callum Innes, and Luke Frost – six artists whose beautiful and deeply intelligent work Bartos reveres and collects – examines why geometric abstraction developed as a side-stream to figuration in British art, appreciated more enthusiastically abroad than at home. – Amy Meyers, Director, Yale Center for British Art James Bartos offers a compelling account of the rich history and enduring aesthetic power of geometric abstract art. Writing with the passion of a committed collector and the sensibility of an art historian, Bartos doesn’t just chart his subject, he defends its place within the contemporary art world and provokes larger questions about what makes art meaningful. All this is only the backdrop to the real subject of his book, the six ‘not very British’ artists who are presented through a series of insightful new interviews with the artists and their gallerists. – Barnaby Wright, Deputy Head of The Courtauld Gallery and Daniel Katz Curator of 20th Century Art James Bartos had a legal career that took him from his native New York to London in 1987. He has looked at, been a patron of, and occasionally collected art for most of his life. He has a particular passion for abstract and geometric art.

LDN Reimagined
A Surreal Visual Journey that will Change your Perception of London R����� J���, ���� � �������� �� C����� G����� Remember the first time you saw a glowing yellow street light through the raindrops scattered across your window? Or snow falling onto the palm of your hand and watched it morph into a variety of shapes before disappearing? Or as you become older, how the tower that use to be a giant in the sky, is now just clumps of metal and concrete? One day walking home from work, I saw a face in the tower; I had never seen this face before. It had two bright red eyes that looked over the whole of London and was so vivid it stuck in my mind for days. I decided to scribble it down and start looking at what else I could see. I found flowers, sharks, spiders, jinns, soldiers, lasers; the imagination held no limits. Enter a surreal vision of London you will never have seen before; you may never look at it the same way again. Robert John is an artist from Tooting, South London of Pakistani descent, whose work channels the Surrealism art movement to interpret the world around him and the reality in which it exists. Robert has worked across many iconic brands through his career as a designer for the BBC. In late 2012 he started his art practice called What I See When. The idea for the project was inspired by his late father who lived with Parkinson’s and developed Parkinson’s dementia, his father began seeing things which were not visible to anyone else, he could see these things, smell them, even touch and feel them. This made Robert think about what our concepts of reality are and what we choose to actually see. It also reminded him of how as a child he would create elaborate worlds and places in his imagination, his practice asks us to go back to that imagination and tell everyone what we see in the world around us. 9

Sculpting the Land
Landcape Design Influenced by Abstract Art D���� A�������� B��� Sculpting the Land, by award winning landscape architect Diana Armstrong Bell, is a homage to her unique interpretation of the possibilities of landscape design. A selection of her aesthetically compelling projects, many of which have won international design competitions, show the influence of her study of abstract art, particularly the work of Kazimir Malevich. Diana has developed her own individual approach to landscape design and here she reveals how these unique designs came to be imagined. Inspired by earthworks, lines and patterns in the landscape which over time can appear as land art, spending time in a landscape, observing, listening and gathering clues about its past and how they inform a new story, are all part of the process. All hand-drawn in pencil, ink, collage and watercolour, the book showcases a remarkable collection of art, which is used to develop and present design ideas. Diana focuses on large scale public landscapes in the urban realm, with many of the landscapes being created on ‘brownfield’ sites including Parco Franco Verga in Milan, Lac de Senart in France, Rochester Riverside Park and Electra Park in London. Diana Armstrong Bell is a landscape architect whose background in art has informed her approach to design. She uses hand-drawing, collage and modelling to develop and present design ideas. Designs are born out of the history and memories of a place, adding a new chapter to that story. The sculptural qualities of natural and man-made landscapes and the inspiration of artists engaged in spatial studies, particularly Kazimir Malevich, have led to her creative and innovative work winning six international design competitions and being a finalist in a further three. 10

The Rest Between Two Notes Selected Works by Fran Forman F��� F����� By integrating her contemporary photography with historical periods and various settings from around the world, Forman creates a world of illusion; upon closer inspection, what appears ordinary suggests an underlying tension and an aura of mystery. Expressed in the diffused colours of twilight and chiaroscruro, her images blur the boundaries between photography, late Renaissance painting, and film noir. Forman’s photo-paintings explore those liminal and in-between moments – of coming and leaving, innocence and confidence, shadow and light, night and day, absence and connection, loss and longing, and not quite the past and not yet the future. Portals, both real and metaphorical, frequent her layered, complex and often dark dreamlike images. Her work is recognised for imbuing each image with strong, harmonious compositions and for her explosive use of color, light and shadow. As a cinematographer writes a narrative with movement and sound, Forman writes with still images, where the images have no power except through their position and relationship. It is these relationships that elicit emotions of desire, vulnerability, and a desperate longing for connection. Fran Forman holds BA, MSW degrees in sociology and began her career as a social worker and social activist. Since receiving her MFA in 1977, she has worked as a graphic designer and fine art photographer, specializing in photomontage and photo-painting. She also teaches advanced students and often asked to jurors and curates photographic exhibitions. She travels extensively for teaching and for the accumulation of resources that she uses in her artwork, Forman is Resident Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. 13

Leonardo da Vinci and the Book of Doom Bianca Sforza, The Sforziada and Artful Propaganda in Renaissance Milan S���� H����� This in-depth investigation into the art, politics and murderous cynicism of Renaissance Milan is is an academic detective story sketched out with erudition and journalistic panache. Debunking the outrageous claim by the notorious Lancashire forger Shaun Greenhalgh that he produced the mesmerizing portrait of a young girl that zoomed into the art world limelight in 2009, Hewitt proves that Leonardo was on intimate terms with both the sitter – Bianca Sforza, teenage daughter of the Duke of Milan – and her husband, Galeazzo Sanseverino, the Duke’s Army Captain, effective Number Two and, as Hewitt convincingly demonstrates, the subject of Leonardo’s enigmatic portrait The Musician. Hewitt brings the tragic Bianca to life, suggests why and by whom she was likely murdered, and explains why her Leonardo portrait was included in one of the most lavish books ever produced - whose co-illustrator, Giovan Pietro Birago, was paid even more than Leonardo. Finally, in one of the most significant artistic discoveries of recent times, Hewitt shows how Birago’s artistic colleagues had no hesitation in lampooning the venerable Leonardo as a Ginger-Haired Gay. Simon Hewitt read History & French at Oxford University, where he also studied History of Art as a postgraduate under the legendary Francis Haskell. Since 1985 he has reported on Art and Culture for numerous international publications, including Art + Auction, The Art Newspaper and The Huffington Post. He lived for 24 years in France – also writing about wine for Decanter magazine, conducting player interviews for the Paris St-Germain matchday programme and captaining, then coaching, the national cricket team. He moved to Switzerland in 2008, since when he has written regularly about classical music and lectured on Art History at the Vreije Universiteit in Brussels. 14

A Passion for Fashion
300 Years of Style at Blenheim A������ K����� A Passion for Fashion provides an amusing look at some of the clothes, underclothes, shoes and accessories worn by many of the more colourful characters in Blenheim Palace’s 300-year history, as well as a cautionary look at the role that arsenic, lead, mercury and mousetraps played in the fashions of the day. Adult and children’s fashions from the 18th and 19th centuries are examined, as well as contemporary style from renowned designers including Christina Stambolian, Stephen Jones, Christian Louboutin and most recently of all, Dolce & Gabbana. Blenheim Palace’s ongoing relationship with the House of Dior, is celebrated with a look at the early catwalk shows of the 1950s, and the launch of Dior’s Cruise collection, which took place at Blenheim in May 2016. The Palace is renowned for many things, but one of its leading claims to fame is that it is the birth place of a certain Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill; twice prime minister of Great Britain and accomplished writer, artist, sometime bricklayer and arguably, in fashion terms, the inventor of the ubiquitous and ever popular ‘Onesie’. Antonia joined Blenheim Palace in 2008 as a member of the Education Team later becoming the Palace’s Social Historian and Researcher. Both roles have involved her curating a number of exhibitions at Blenheim Palace including the highly successful Passion for Fashion upon which this book is based. Antonia greatly enjoys public speaking and has delivered a ‘Conversation’ at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor and been ‘in conversation with…’ fashion editor, Caroline Issa. She was also a guest on Radio 4’s Saturday Live with the Reverend Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir and has appeared on BBC’s Country File and Channel 4’s Phil Spencer’s Stately Homes. 17

A Taste of Art – London
One City, Ten Museums, One Hundred Artworks H���� H����� ��� J��������� C������� I���������� �� F������� P����-S���� A Taste of Art – London takes the reader on a journey around ten of the city’s galleries, exploring ten significant artworks at each location and offering an insightful ‘taste’ of art - the ultimate antidote to museum fatigue. The paintings, sculptures and objects selected from each gallery focus on a different time period in the history of Western Art - beginning with Roman Britain in The British Museum and ending with a look at pieces that cross time frames at the Royal Academy of Arts. ‘Tasting notes’ offer an engaging, narrative look at each work, accompanied by a quotation to whet the reader’s appetite; whilst an illustrated ‘key ingredient’ unlocks the meaning and encourages the reader to not only look but more fully explore all one hundred pieces. The book also includes a map to locate the museums and a checklist of works, and is illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned illustrations.

Mausoleum of Imperfection
The Art of Slavko Krunić. The Words of Bill Gould S����� K����� Mausoleum of Imperfection is a collection of picturesque and satirical portraits made by Slavko Krunić that refute the idea of separation between the observer and the work of art. Thus, it creates a certain intimacy; we feel we are the portraits’ companions and they are our fellow travellers in an imaginary life. The comical fantasy of these melancholy characters, who are watching us from the images, allows us to listen to their life stories whilst observing them in their immobility. Bill Gould wrote a short biography of an imaginary witness inspired by Krunic’s work. From this symbiosis arose an unusual combination of different artistic expressions, which was then shaped into Mausoleum of Imperfection. Slavko Krunić was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1974. He graduated at Belgrade Faculty of Fine Arts in 1998 and went on to gain his MA there in 2002. He is now a member of ULUS - Artists Association of Serbia. Subsequently, Krunić has exhibited his paintings at over thirty exhibitions around the world. He has worked as an illustrator for Politikin Zabavnik, the most important magazine in the history of Balkan pop culture, and illustrated characters for the opera Werther of the National Theatre in Belgrade. He has also collaborated with local and international writers, including the famous Serbian writer David Albahari, and singer-songwriter Djordje Balasevic. Krunić’s works can be seen on the vinyl cover of New York ska legends The Toasters, Rotterdam ska jazz foundation, Deepsteady, and Dr Deadlock and conga line albums. Bill Gould is an American writer, art collector, musician and producer. He is best known as the bassist of Faith No More. 23

The Power of Love
Jewels, Romance and Eternity B������ C������-S������ Romance, love and courtship are as universal as the precious jewels they inspire, objects which express deep affection for a loved one and eternal commitment. Wedding traditions have evolved over thousands of years and are based on blessing the couple with good luck and good wishes for unity, happiness and prosperity. The ring is the most personal of all jewels, its endless circular form symbolising the everlasting union of two people. The tradition of giving a betrothal or wedding ring as a promise of marriage goes back to ancient Rome and the ring was believed to have a direct link to the heart when worn on the ring finger of the left hand. It was not until the 15th century that diamond rings were primarily associated with marriage, but from the earliest times rubies or garnets were emblems of passionate love, diamonds or rock crystals symbolised virtue and constancy, sapphires denoted eternal love and emeralds desire and hope. Decorative motifs such as clasped hands, lovers’ knots, crowned hearts, Cupid’s arrows, flowers with hidden messages, snakes and butterflies were imaginatively used by jewellers to create magnificent jewels as symbols of romantic love. Based in England, Beatriz Chadour-Sampson is an international jewellery historian, author and lecturer. Her publications range from the classical world to the present day and include her doctoral thesis on the Italian goldsmith Antonio Gentili da Faenza (1980) and catalogues for the jewellery collection of the Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Cologne (1985) and for the Alice and Louis Koch Collection of rings, Switzerland (1994), the latter in her capacity as curator of the collection for the Swiss National Museum, Zurich. She was consultant curator for the redesign of the William and Judith Bollinger Jewellery Gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and guest curator of its Pearls exhibition in 2013-14. For the Dallas Museum of Art she has worked on the Inge Asenbaum collection of contemporary jewellery. 24
CHAPTER THREE
From The Renaissance to Baroque: Fidelity and Virtue in Marriage
In the 16th and 17th centuries jewellery expressing love was abundant. Couples were depicted on portraits for the occasion of their wedding, the wife is often wearing jewels with rubies symbolizing love, pearls for chastity and diamonds for virtue and constancy. Rubies and diamonds are the classical combination for betrothal and wedding rings, the most intimate of jewels, and worn on the ring finger of the left hand was believed to have a direct connection with the heart. “Fede” rings with two right hands joined together, as was custom during the wedding ceremony to pledge trust and faith in the union of two people, were fashionable all over Europe. Inscriptions on the hoops of so-called gimmel rings (twinned):‘My beginning and end lie in God’s hands/ What God has joined together let no man put asunder’ found in various languages uses the wording of the marriage vows. Jewels with turquoises were given as a sign of friendship. Posy rings with hidden messages of love inscribed inside the hoop, its content only known to the wearer and giver became a popular token of love or given in betrothal. Goldsmiths used emblem books as inspiration for their designs and amatory devices. Hearts and cupids set in rubies, diamonds and pearls were explicit in their message, whereas other pendants were more subtle in their language of love, such as a salamander, symbolic of ardent love.

People Like Us S����� S����� ��� S����� B������ What goes through a man’s head after sitting innocently on death row for twenty-three years and who has been dubbed a monster for over half his life? How does a woman cope with the idea of miraculously surviving a major catastrophe? Isn‘t it possible that the man with the tattooed face could be a kindergarten teacher? All too readily we judge and categorise people by their external characteristics or their way of life. Everyone does this, usually without even realising it. So why don’t we listen to the stories of our fellow human beings? Often, we would then realise: although our stories are so different, our emotions, fears, dreams and wishes are so similar. People Like Us is a book about each other and the most influentual moments in their lives. It gives a few, random people and their uniqueness a voice to be heard.

Born in the Cronx DJ D�� O�� ‘I have a love for Croydon, it really is the Cronx! It’s exiting! Gnarley. I was in a crew called TuffStuff, based there, so I hung out there a lot.’ DJ Dek One continues, ‘I met Kevin from the Rise Gallery one day at an exhibition, and he said he was interested to meet old writers from the Croydon graffiti scene, but no one would talk to him as he was a bit posh.’ So I said, ‘they’ll talk to me.’ The next thing you know, I met the ‘All City’ shop crew, who were amazing and very passionate, and after tip offs we were climbing into warehouses and networking with old school writers (graffiti artists) and contacts with photos.’ Three years later, the culmination of their epic journey is Born in the Cronx, a unique archive of the Croydon graffiti scene, where a lot of the extraordinary artworks, and even some of the buildings, are now gone forever. DJ Dek One is a DJ born in Birmingham, UK, who plays soul, funk, drum breaks and ‘90s hip hop. He started DJing in 1993 and was part of the now legendary SWEAT funk nights which ran from 1993 to 1998 in Birmingham in the acid jazz days. He is a member of the now worldwide UK chapter of the Bronx based boy crew, The Bronx Boys. He is also a member of the Breakmission team, based in Birmingham, which teaches children the four elements of hip hop, as a way of distracting them from getting into trouble, an event which instead of charging money for entrance, asks the b boy community to bring a can of food or item of clothing which later gets distributed to Birmingham’s homeless. RISE Gallery specialises in contemporary, urban contemporary and post war pop art. They work closely with emerging and established international artists who display exceptional talent, technical skill and intrinsic creativity. They believe in the life-enhancing value of art and strive to offer the best experience for both their artists and clients.

My Dearest Heart
The Artist Mary Beale (1633–1699) P������� H������ Mary Beale (1633-1699) was one of the earliest professional women artists in Britain. Her successful career was documented by her husband, Charles, whose almanacks provide a unique record of Mary’s patrons, painting technique and family affairs. Her portraits of politicians, clergy, aristocracy and intellectuals reflect the vibrant literary, scientific and political scene of the seventeenth-century. She has been seen as a feminist icon, not only as a professional artist but also as a poet and the author of a Discourse on Friendship (1667), which argued for the equality of husband and wife in marriage – a radical concept at that time. Penelope Hunting graduated with an honours degree in History from the University of London, followed by a PhD in Architectural History. She has written books on the history of London, the City livery companies and two historical biographies. Her History of the Royal Society of Medicine (2001) received an award from the Society of Authors. Her most recent book, Riot and Revolution, (2013) is a biography of the seventeenth-century Lord Mayor of London, Sir Robert Geffery. Dr Hunting is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, Chairman of the London Topographical Society and a trustee of the Heatherley School of Fine Art, Chelsea.

London The Metamorphosis A��� K��� ��� E����� L����-S���� As London evolves into a Babylonian-style city of lofty towers, the artist Anna Keen has been inspired to paint this London Metamorphosis. While each new edifice heads to the heavens, the exposed entrails of these vast construction sites strangely resemble ruins. Her large canvases are enriched with details stemming from patient observation and on-thespot sketches, and from voyages around the city made by helicopter, boat, road and on foot. Like the eighteenth-century artist J.M Gandy, who simultaneously painted London in ruins and in construction, Anna Keen takes us just beneath the surface of the metropolis, to where the emotional landscape lurks and to where the soul of London is heading. Anna Keen is a British artist, born on the isle of Wight in 1968 and brought up on the remote Scottish island of Arran. She studied six years at the art school in Paris L’Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts, where she obtained her diploma with distinctions. She has lived and worked as an artist in cities such as Rome, Venice, London and Amsterdam, where she has had over ten solo shows, participated in seventy collective shows, won several prizes and is represented in important private collections. Anna Keen has now returned to the UK and is currently painting the Babylonian-type London skyline, which mutates constantly. Edward Lucie-Smith is generally regarded as the most prolific and the most widely published writers on art. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945, Visual Arts of the 20th Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world.

TITLE
Goodhart-Rendel (1887–1959) pinned down its essence with the phrase ‘a Gothic game played with Classical counters’ – described as Gothic on account of the asymmetry and the display of materials and workmanship; classical on account of actual style of the openings and details. It was indeed a playful style, involving exaggerations of scale both large and small and surprise juxtapositions of elements.3 Osbert Lancaster, compiling his satirical guide to the styles of architecture, Pillar to Post in 1939, called it ‘Pont Street Dutch’, writing that in this part of Chelsea, ‘the cultured frequently pointed out, with considerable pride, that a wayfarer in that high-class residential district might easily imagine himself to be in Vermeer’s Delft.’4 Indeed, Cadogan Square represents the North European tendency within the broader Queen Anne movement rather than its English identity suggesting, in Mark Girouard’s words, ‘a hyper-concentrated canal-side in Antwerp’.5 Victorian ‘Queen Anne’ represented a distinctive turn in the cycle of taste, connected to new ideas about society, less intensely Protestant in its religious practices and more willing to acknowledge the public role of women. ‘Artistic’ was a key term – a lifestyle choice of a generation. Indeed, one of the earliest houses to anticipate the Queen Anne trend was designed for the artist George Pryce Boyce (1826–97) at 35 Glebe Place, just south of King’s Road, in 1869–71. The stucco-fronted Italianate classicism of the standard builder’s house in the 1860s and early 1870s was to be seen everywhere in the expanding metropolis. It was a new idea to personalise the outside of a town house by building it in a different style to its neighbours, and also relatively unusual, before the mid 1870s, for a client to commission an architect to design a London house, usually devising an individual plan that would help the owner to achieve a distinctive interior with attractive window bays and inglenooks to sit in, and a more interesting progress from the front door to the drawing room for visitors, rather than the conventional straight runs of stairs turning at half-landings. In the 1930s, at a time when such houses were growing out of fashion, Goodhart-Rendel emphasised their friendly, informal character compared to the type of house that they replaced, ‘in these easy-going gabled homes the front doors call for no red carpet across the pavement,

Although individually designed houses featured in the development, mostly in Cadogan Square itself, the greater number of houses resulted from speculative development, including nos 42–58 (even) Pont Street by Stevenson, and 63–79 (odd) Cadogan Square. The variety of design of these frontages adds to their charm. Being modelled in three dimensions with projecting bay windows and prominent gables, unlike the flatfronted houses that had been standard in London since the Great Fire of 1666, they look their best when viewed at oblique angles along the street, which is how they are seen by the passer-by. The remainder of the north side was the work of the builders Trollope, with the architect G. T. Robinson (1829–97), who provided a series of arcades to add unity to the ground floor while providing a continuous first floor balcony. Socially, as Mark Girouard defined it, ‘the area rapidly assumed a character suitable to its position, poised between aristocratic Belgravia and artistic Chelsea. The first occupants varied between upper class and upper middle class, between rich and very rich, and between gently artistic and mildly philistine.’9 The red cliffs of Cadogan Square continue along Pont Street and to north and south, with a picturesque variety of shapes found in Hans Place and Lennox Gardens, across the boundary into Smith’s Charity land, a boundary that the development company was successful in disguising. By 1890, the task had been completed and the Cadogan and Hans Place Estate Company was wound up, the capital being returned 17

Built in Chelsea
Three Centuries of Living Architecture and Townscape A��� P����� Among the London districts, Chelsea has always held a special charm for residents and visitors alike – spacious and gracious with the River Thames as its background, but with a unique history of artists, bohemians and good causes. The twelve chapters tell episodes from this history, based on buildings that mark the stages of change, connecting what can seen on the street with the hidden histories of architects, patrons and the colourful people who have made their lives in and around them. Featured here are the churches, military establishments, theatres, restaurants, housing and shops of old and new Chelsea. The spaces between buildings can be as important as the buildings themselves and Chelsea has had the benefit of landowners with long-term interests in improving the experience of residents and visitors, creating in recent years some exemplary regeneration projects that can act as models for un-obtrusive management of change. Alan Powers has a lifelong interest in architecture and made it his specialism in an Art History degree at Cambridge. While happy to look at work of any period, he has made the twentieth century his subject, enjoying the controversies about different design styles and contributing to saving important buildings through his work with the Twentieth Century Society. Born a Londoner, he likes analysing the ingredients that create the flavours of different districts over time. He has taught in a number of architecture schools, including the Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture and currently at the independent London School of Architecture; he also leads group tours for ACE Cultural Tours. The current book has stemmed from an earlier book project, Cadogan and Chelsea: The Making of a Modern Estate, published by Unicorn in 2017. 35

Elizabeth’s French Wars, 1562-1598
English Intervention in the French Wars of Religion W������ H��� The aim of this study is to establish the scale and importance of English intervention during the French Wars of Religion of the late sixteenth century. The author looks at why and how Elizabeth I intervened, and what were the consequences of this intervention. He examines how the ‘natural’ enemy became an ally and how relations between Elizabeth and three French kings were frequently at the heart of grand strategy. Elizabeth’s sword of intervention was double-edged: both benevolent and exploitative. She hoped to aid the Huguenots while recovering England’s lost French territories. Later, her intervention became a method of keeping hostilities with Spain away from English shores. Many believed intervention was necessary to protect the continuation of English trade with Europe. England became the ‘arsenal’ of first Huguenot, then royalist France. The author measures, for the first time, the scale of provision of matériel de guerre. He examines the role of economic and monetary questions and shows how England effectively ‘kickstarted’ and perpetuated the wars. Exploiting much previously untouched material from English and French libraries and archives, the author’s research reveals the real strategy and tactics of Henri IV, allowing a re-evaluation of this military leader. Originally from Tottington, Lancashire, William Heap has had a passion for military history since an early age. He completed his BA (Hons) in History at the University College of North Wales and later continued his studies for both his Maîtrise and D.É.A. at the Sorbonne in Paris. It was during his research that he first came across sixteenth century maps depicting English soldiers in France. 36

The Remarkable Life of Jago Stone Once a Burglar, Always an Artist R�� D������ The Remarkable Life of Jago Stone tells of the life and times of the prize-winning burglarturned-international artist, Jago Stone (1928-88). It is a fascinating story of a charismatic rebel who enjoyed tilting at the windmills of conformity. This is not, however, a conventional biography. As the author writes: ‘I have chosen to tell Jago’s story through the filter of my own journey of discovery since 1976. The book does not have a linear plot; as new material has come to light through my research, my central role has been to bring this material together in a coherent and readable way. This is a real-time detective story that I am inviting you, the reader, to share.’ Scores of homes in both England and the U.S.A. have one or more Jago Stone paintings proudly displayed. Jago’s travels as the ‘Gypsy Artist’ brought him into contact with many English families and the families of American aircrew stationed in the UK who took their Jagos back across the Pond. Jago lived – and through his art still lives – on both sides of the Atlantic. Rob Donovan was educated at Dartford grammar school in Kent. From there, he went on to a scholarship to St Catherine’s, Oxford reading History. He has spent over thirty years in academe, rewarded with four Masters degrees and one Doctorate: ‘Drink in Victorian Norwich’ (2003). He is now leading a creative life as an author. The Road to Corbyn (2016) is his 21st century secular reworking of John Bunyan’s Christian classic The Pilgrim’s Progress.

Images of an Australian Enlightenment
The Story of Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie’s Treatment of the Convicts as a History Tale for Today A����� L�������� This is the story of two Scots, Lachlan Macquarie, governor of the British colony of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821, and of his wife, Elizabeth Macquarie, both of whom pioneered a policy of rehabilitation and renewal as part of their treatment of the convicts. The first part of the book canvasses what the Macquaries set out to achieve, and their stated reasons for this, as well as enquiring into the deeper personal forces at work within their lives. It introduces their supporters and opponents both in the Colony and in Britain. In the second part, the idea of enlightenment is introduced, its definition based on Churchill’s understanding of what it means for a society to be civilized. In this light, the punitive thinking of the Macquaries’ opponents both in Britain and the Colony represent darkness. In contrast, the Macquaries’ work is seen as an enlightenment, one having the potential to inform, indeed challenge, the darkness of the current punitive climate of public opinion so characteristic of much of the Western world today. Austin Lovegrove studied Criminology at the University of Melbourne and went on to achieve a M.A. and Ph.D. in Behavioural Sciences, also at the University of Melbourne. Each project involved the empirical study of different aspects of the behaviour of offenders. Subsequently he served on the Victorian Committee of Inquiry into Sentencing; principally a judicial committee and chaired by the late Sir John Starke, it reported to the Government in 1988.

India Calling
A Fifty Year Magical, Medical Odyssey M������ F������� India Calling is an exploration of the development of independent, democratic India over the last fifty years through the eyes of an English doctor. During this journey, which was driven by study and work, not travel or tourism, the author is led into the pressing issues of the day; politics, health, education and the economy and latterly into the fiction, film and fine art inspired by this ancient nation as it re-emerges in the 20th and 21st centuries. India Calling begins and ends at an isolated mission hospital in an impoverished village in South India as man took his first intrepid steps on the moon and ends as India declares itself as one of the fastest growing world economies, a leader in information technology and manufacturing, and a nuclear power with its own space exploration programme. We meet some remarkable people: dedicated Indian surgeons struggling to do the best they can with limited resources; the temple barbers of Tirupathi; Aunty Doll and her Anglo-Indian family in Bangalore; and Billy Cameron the Scottish tea planter in Kerala. Michael Farthing trained as a physician in the UK and USA. As a clinical academic he became engaged in the health issues of the resource-poor countries of the world, working in India, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa. Although he has written many scientific papers and co-authored and edited more than 20 medical books, this is one of his first ventures outside science and medicine. In addition to India Calling, he has written Leonardo da Vinci: Under the Skin with his brother Stephen Farthing RA, published in 2019 by the Royal Academy.

Look Where We’re Going
Past Politics and Future Dangers: Memories, Warnings and Hopes D���� H�����, ���� � �������� �� L��� S������ N����� F����� Look Where We’re Going is a book of revelation and revolution. Written by someone who has been at the centre of British government and international affairs for half a century, it looks afresh at the ideas, hopes, lessons and largely unintended consequences of successive generations of political leaders; it shows us how to Look Where We’re Going. Based on deep personal experience – the author is one of the few left who served in Margaret Thatcher’s first Cabinet of just over forty years ago – Howell gives us a new picture of the dramas deep inside government and how yesterday’s clashes of ideology and personality have led to today’s unanticipated turmoil. Old assumptions are torn apart and accepted versions of what occurred are unravelled. Howell shows how technology has made much of our conventional political vocabulary obsolete, how we now need quite different types of leadership serving new priorities and how, while we wrestle with the issues just before our eyes, much bigger forces are at work which are re-shaping our lives and our future. David Howell is the only person to have served in the three administrations of Heath, Thatcher and Cameron. Between spells in government, he has filled numerous other roles in journalism, banking and industry. He is currently President of the Royal Commonwealth Society, Chairman of the Windsor Energy Group and most recently, Chairman of the House of Lords Committee for International Relations.

Hunger
How Food Shaped the Course of the First World War R��� B��� ��� S������ J����� (����������) Hunger focuses on the role of food, or the lack of it, in the First World War. Diary quotes, historical accounts, and notes from the author’s own re-enactment as a sous-chef in a recreated field kitchen combine for a gripping and at times harrowing read. Throughout, the author’s focus remains firmly on food and everything related to it: production, distribution, preparation, quantities, and how these issues influenced the final outcome of the war. Written by a historian from a country that was neutral during the war, this work offers a new perspective on the conflict following the centenary. Rick Blom has an MA in history and worked for more than ten years as a journalist and chief editor for a national magazine in his home country of the Netherlands. He now runs a tourist marketing company established in more than twenty-five countries.

Rudolf Hess Truth at Last
J��� H����� ��� R������ W������� The latest book from John Harris and Richard Wilbourn continues to build on their longstanding research into the Hess mystery over 25 years. Slowly, the fog that has descended over the Hess case is beginning to clear and Harris and Wilbourn expand here on the implications of their recent findings. There is now little doubt that MI6 were heavily involved in the Hess affair and this involvement is clearly described and explained. What is not so clear is whether MI6 was acting alone, outside of the incumbent Churchill government, in an attempt to be able to offer a viable peace between Nazi Germany and factions within Great Britain. These factions would much rather have preferred a negotiated settlement to a bloody invasion attempt in the summer of 1941. In order to enter into such negotiations MI6 recruited a Finnish Art historian, Tancred Borenius and sent him to Switzerland in January 1941. Additionally the role of the Polish government in exile is closely examined and in particular the role of Josef Retinger, the arch federalist. The evidence would now suggest that a separate peace was being negotiated, outside of governmental channels. That is why Hess flew to Scotland. John Harris and Richard Wilbourn have been researching the Rudolf Hess case since 1987, shortly after Hess died in Spandau, Berlin. Since then they have written five authorative books on the Hess flight and mystery. Their professional disciplines and varied mix of skills and interests have been extremely pertinent when addressing the various issues relevant to the Hess case. Over the past 25 years they have made some major discoveries pertaining to the Hess affair and now are regularly quoted as reliable sources by others.

Journeys Hazardous
Gurkha Clandestine Operations Borneo 1965 C���������� B������ Journeys Hazardous tells a young officer’s tale of ‘Claret’ operations in the undeclared war between Britain and Indonesia in the mid 1960s. These clandestine operations launched deep into Indonesia were officially denied but, nevertheless wrested the initiative back from Indonesia and enabled Britain to successfully conclude what was euphemistically known as ‘confrontation.’ Based on personal diaries, this account tells, with humour and sensitivity, the actions of a Gurkha company operating deep into Indonesian territory. The Gurkha Regiment involved has marched into history, and the author retired. Nevertheless, the experiences of junior leadership in unusually independent command make this a weight worth adding to the young leaders bergen or the older warriors bookcase. Christopher Bullock joined the army from school in 1957. After Sandhurst and five years with the 60th Rifles, he joined the 2nd Battalion, 2nd KEO Gurkha Rifles. Here, as a company commander, he was involved in the clandestine actions described in Journeys Hazardous, for which he was awarded the Military Cross. Having commanded 6th QEO Gurkha Rifles, he ended his military career as Brigadier Brigade of Gurkhas.

Montgomery Friends Within, Foes Without
Relationships In and Around 21st Army Group M������ P��� In this new study of personal relationships within the British (including Canadian) Command in 21st Army Group during the campaign in North-West Europe in 1944-1945, Malcolm Pill considers the scope and depth of these relationships, ranging from those of the Secretary of State for War to the Corps Commanders. Montgomery is central. His great success in the management of his own multinational team is contrasted with the hostility created and lack of success achieved with those outside his team. Pill explores the importance of his great skill with the written word. The relevance of these personal relationships to the success of Britain’s last major campaign as a great power is assessed as are the post-war consequences for those involved. On retirement as a Lord Justice of Appeal, Malcom Pill took an MA in Military History at Buckingham University. His lifelong interest in military history was stimulated during his father’s service in the Royal Artillery in the Second World War, described in A Cardiff Family in the Forties (1999), reading Chester Wilmot’s The Struggle for Europe and his own National Service and Territorial Service in the Royal Artillery. He studied the Laws of War as a part of the Cambridge International Law LLM and a has held a long-term professional interest in behavioural studies and assessing oral and written evidence.

The Name Beneath the Stone Secret of the Unknown Warrior R����� N������ Three generations, one family, connected by an historic secret. 1917 – Private Daniel Dawkins fights at Messines Ridge and Passchendaele. He writes home to his true-love Joyce, but reveals little of his extreme bravery, his kindness, his loyalty to his comrades and the horrors they experience on the Western Front. 1920 – Captain Peter Harding is tasked with a secret mission to assist in the selection of a body dug up from the battlefields of Flanders to be buried in Westminster Abbey as the ‘Unknown Warrior’. Events take place on that expedition that come to haunt him for the rest of his life. 2011 – Sarah Harding discovers Daniel’s letters and Peter’s diaries. Together with historian James Marchant she pieces together the hidden truth behind the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and must decide what to do with it. Values are challenged and characters are tested in this gripping novel which asks ‘what if the identity of the Unknown Soldier was discovered – and should that secret ever be revealed?’ After five years serving as an officer in The Light Infantry, Robert studied Political Philosophy at Exeter University. Following this he had various management positions in the John Lewis Partnership, finally running management training. He then spent a number of years working for management consultants before setting up his own business with a colleague in 2007. Throughout this period he was writing articles, short stories and novels in his spare time.

Guests of the Third Reich
The British Prisoner of War Experience in Germany 1939–1945 A������ R������� More than 170,000 British prisoners of war (POWs) were taken by German and Italian forces during the Second World War. Conditions were tough. Rations were meagre. The days dragged and there was a constant battle against boredom. The men, but not officers, had to work, often at heavy labour. Guests of the Third Reich will provide an overview of what daily life was like for prisoners, from staging theatre productions to keep morale up to working allotments and planning audacious escape attempts. Utilising IWM’s collections of letters, diaries, memoirs and sound interviews, this gripping, poignant narrative conveys the story of those in captivity in Germany during the Second World War in a personal and engaging way. Also featured are a selection of photographs from the IWM archive, giving a rare glimpse inside these infamous internment camps. Anthony Richards is Head of Documents and Sound at Imperial War Museums. He is the author of In Their Own Words: Untold Stories of the First World War (2016), The Somme: A Visual History (2016) and The War on Paper: 20 Documents that Defined the Second World War (2018).

D-Day & Normandy A Visual History A������ R������� Operation Overlord, the codename given to the Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe in 1944, was arguably the most challenging, complicated and risky military operation in history. It began on 6 June with Operation Neptune, the largest seaborne invasion ever seen, when 150,000 troops crossed the Channel and attempted to land on the beaches at Normandy. This assault would lay the foundation for the Allied victory on the Western Front, and is now commonly known as D-Day. This highly illustrated book, published to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in 2019, will reconstruct the historic landings and the resultant battle for Normandy using artefacts, documents, interviews, film, art and photographs from the archives at IWM. Importantly, it will feature first-hand accounts of the action from the vast documents and sound collection, allowing the reader to follow a personal narrative throughout and experience what it was like to live through what was one of the most significant campaigns of the Second World War. Anthony Richards is Head of Documents and Sound at Imperial War Museums. He is the author of In Their Own Words: Untold Stories of the First World War (2016), The Somme: A Visual History (2016) and The War on Paper: 20 Documents that Defined the Second World War (2018).

The Home Guard Manuals of Colonel Wade C������ G. A. W��� Do you know that house-to-house fighting is the finest sport on earth? You do? Right, we’ll carry on! A pair of boots which creak are embarrassing enough going into church, but they are a hell of a sight worse within earshot of a heavily-armed enemy. Remember: yell like a fiend. It is great fun and develops suitable bloodlust. In the early 1940s, a series of training booklets were written by Colonel G. A. Wade for the newly-recruited Home Guard. Reproduced together for the first time, this boxed set shows how Second World War trainees learned to defend buildings from invasion, fire guns, attack German parachutists and sneak up on the enemy without being seen. Illustrated with contemporary hand-drawings and maps, they are a powerful yet nostalgic statement about British culture and ideology at the height of the Second World War. This handsomely-produced boxed set contains the following paperback titles: Defence of Houses • Defence of Villages & Small Towns • Factory Defence Fighting Patrol Tactics • Fighting Patrol Training • Fire Control • House to House Fighting Liaison and Intelligence • Road Blocks • The Art of Prowling The Defence of Bloodford Village • The Fighting Patrol Colonel G. A. Wade was a British soldier and author who wrote a series of training manuals for the British Home Guard in the expectation of a German invasion. The series was originally published by Gale & Polden.

John Nash
Artist and Countryman A����� L������� Hardback 256 pp 300 x 235 mm Thema Codes: AGB AGA AFC 200 colour illustrations 978-1-916495-70-8 October 2019 £40.00
John Nash (1893-1977) is the quintessential 20th century painter of the English countryside, but his remarkable achievement has for too long been overshadowed by the more public persona of his older brother Paul. Yet when we want to summon up an image of an idyllic summer’s day, it is John’s 1919 painting The Cornfield that we remember, not one of Paul’s. Nash began as a watercolour painter, and the medium remained his mainstay throughout a long career. He also worked regularly in oil paint, and his two great World War I paintings, Oppy Wood and Over the Top, both in the Imperial War Museum, are early examples of his success with this very different technique. An immensely skilled draughtsman, Nash turned this linear expertise to good effect in his wood engravings. He also excelled at comic drawing. A dedicated gardener and plantsman, his botanical studies are of real quality. As Andrew Lambirth remarks, ‘In Nash’s best work the vision is clear, the eye sharp and the sense of pictorial design difficult to fault’. Although there have been previous studies of Nash, this is the first full-length monograph to deal with all aspects of his career. Andrew Lambirth (born 1959) is a writer, critic and curator. He has written on art for a number of publications including The Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator, The Sunday Times, Modern Painters, The Art Newspaper and RA, the Royal Academy magazine. Among his many books are monographs on Craigie Aitchison, Stephen Chambers, Roger Hilton, Allen Jones, Maggi Hambling, David Inshaw,John Hoyland, Margaret Mellis, LS Lowry and RB Kitaj. He has curated exhibitions of work by Eileen Agar, Peter Blake, Maggi Hambling, Roger Hilton and Cedric Morris for various museums and public galleries. He was art critic of The Spectator 2002–2014 and his reviews have been collected in a paperback entitled A is a Critic. He lives in Wiltshire.

Bryan Robertson (1925-2002) was the greatest director the Tate Gallery never had. In 1952, at the age of 27, and against formidable competition (which included David Sylvester and Lawrence Gowing), he became Director of the Whitechapel Gallery, a post he held until 1969. While there he effected a revolution in the British museum world, bringing the more innovative and radical American and European contemporary artists to the UK, as well as programming a series of exhibitions devoted to British artists in mid-career. He was the first to show Pollock, Rothco, Rauschenberg and Johns in England, matching this with historical re-evaluations of Turner, Stubbs, Bellotto and Rowlandson. Among Europeans he showed Mondrian, de Stäel, Malevich and Poliakoff, and the English artists included Barbara Hepworth, Alan Davie, Ceri Richards and Keith Vaughan. Among younger painters and sculptors he identified the New Generation of Caro, Hoyland, Riley, Jones and Caulfield, and stage-managed a flow of exhibitions which transformed the Whitechapel and made it the gallery to visit. Robertson was a man of vision and flair, and this book celebrates his lasting influence over the way we look at and think about art, as witnessed through the words of his friends and contemporaries and in excerpts from his own written works. Andrew Lambirth (born 1959) is a writer, critic and curator. He has written on art for a number of publications including The Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator, The Sunday Times, Modern Painters, The Art Newspaper and RA, the Royal Academy magazine.

The Greatest Art Collection of Regency London P���� H������ Hardback 256 pp 234 x 156 mm Thema Codes: AGB, AGA 150 colour illustrations 978-1-916495-75-3 October 2019 £60.00
Peter Humfrey’s in-depth analysis of the Stafford Gallery, based on original research, shows how during the quarter century of its existence (1806-1830), it represented the greatest art collection in Regency London. The book will also provide the first detailed history of the Bridgewater collection. The story extends from the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater’s purchases in Rome in the 1750s, then on to the major acquisitions of the 1790s (especially from the Orléans collection), then through the incorporation of the collection into the Stafford Gallery by the 2nd Marquess of Stafford (1st Duke of Sutherland), and finally to its reinstallation by Lord Francis Egerton in the new Bridgewater House in 1851. As well as providing a detailed account of the personalities and differing motives of three generations of collectors and owners, the book examines the ways in which the collection was arranged and displayed. It also discusses reactions to it by contemporaries, from sophisticated critics such as William Hazlitt, to the general public, and analyses major publications on it such as the four-volume illustrated catalogue by William Young Ottley of 1818. The illustrations will include many works sold from the collection after 1946 and now widely dispersed. Emeritus Professor Peter Humfrey, a leading authority on Venetian Renaissance painting, who also has a strong interest in the history of collecting in Britain. His articles on the Duke of Bridgewater as a collector, and on the Sutherland Gallery at Stafford House, have been published in journals.

Lee Miller A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes A�� B��������� Much has been written about Lee Miller the model, surrealist and fashion photographer and Lee Miller the WWII correspondent but less familiar is Lee Miller the gourmet cook. A woman of many lives and mistress of her own re-invention, Lee Miller did everything wholeheartedly and with an imaginative flair. Lee Miller, A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes explores Miller’s life and personality in the context of food. Swapping her camera for the kitchen, creativity hit Lee’s table with beautifully prepared dishes such as Muddles Green Green Chicken, Upside Down Onion Cake and Pink Heaven. She relished dishes and ingredients from all over the world and started to collect cookery books, eventually causing her home to be over-run with books and magazines of recipes, so much so that her husband built her a room for her cookbooks. Miller also used cooking as a way to cope with the difficulties of her war experiences. What she had witnessed during the war as a correspondent touched her deeply and she suffered from what would today be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Through cooking she could build bridges, heal old wounds and empower other women. Author and Lee Miller's granddaughter Ami Bouhassane sees her re-incarnation as a gourmet chef as her longest battle and most extraordinary personal accomplishment in every sense. Lee Miller, A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes was awarded gold in the cookbook category of the 2017 Independent Publishers Awards in America.

The Home of the Surrealists A����� P������, ����������� �� T��� T���
Beautifully written, and completely re-photographed to include newly restored rooms and fresh aspects as well as including more images by Lee Miller and Roland Penrose the long awaited book on Farleys House, The Home of the Surrealists gives a brilliant insight into life on the farm and its affiliation with the Surrealist movement. Antony Penrose, the author, describes in detail Roland Penrose (‘a surrealist in friendship’) and Lee Miller’s (the surrealist from Poughkeepsie) relationships with surrealism before transitioning into farm life and the artist visitors. The book maintains an outstanding balance between scholarly expertise and the personal experience of Antony Penrose as the son of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose. Penrose’s personal approach engages the reader on many levels as he discusses every aspect of Farleys House openly, from the fun he had going on ‘long expeditions in farm woodlands’ with Vogue managing editor of the time, Timmie O’Brien, to avoiding Miller’s ‘evil-tempered irrationality’ at times when her post-traumatic stress disorder led her to drink. The various artists Penrose had the chance to play with included Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso who he famously bit and was bitten by in return. Penrose’s extensive knowledge of all things related to Farleys House, Lee Miller and Roland Penrose also leads to uniquely insightful interpretations of his parent’s artwork as well as a rare understanding of the décor and ambience of Farleys. The book, originally published in 2001 by Francis Lincoln, has been re-photographed by Tony Tree, using his excess of fifty years of photography experience to capture the visual delights of the house. Tree formerly worked for House and Garden in the 1960s, then Vogue and finally for The Evening Argus in the 1970s. Tree brings his exceptional eye for photography to Farleys House along with his understanding of Penrose and Miller’s values to capture the essence of the house for the reader. 66

Surrealist Lee Miller A����� P������
Surrealist before she knew of the movement Lee Miller was ‘caustically brilliant, yet totally loyal, unpretentious, human and intolerant of sham. She was a consummate artist and a consummate clown; at once an upstate New York hick and cosmopolitan grande dame; a cold, soignée fashion model and a hoyden… She was a mechanical ‘tinker’, in the sense that her friend [the artist] Alexander Calder once called himself ‘just a tinker’. She was the nearest thing I knew to a mid-20th century renaissance woman’ – described David E. Scherman, LIFE photographer and her very close friend. Lee Miller was one of the most original photographic artists of the 20th century, her Surrealist eye informed everything she did. Her work presents the world in a way that encourages us to view it in a different manner. Written and selected by her son Antony Penrose, co-founder of the Lee Miller Archives, author of the highly acclaimed biography Lives of Lee Miller and editor of Lee Miller’s War. He has been researching, lecturing and working towards conserving the legacy of his mother’s material for forty years.

Enigmatic Stream
Industrial Landscapes of the Lower Mississippi River R������ S�����, ���� ������ �� P��� S������� ��� J��� H. L������� As it churns toward its terminus in southeastern Louisiana, the Mississippi River becomes a wide, muddy superhighway of activity, matched in might only by the megastructures of heavy industry that line its banks. The section of the river from Baton Rouge to New Orleans doubles as one of the most potent economic corridors in the country. For two decades, photographer Richard Sexton has explored this complicated region. Intrigued by juxtapositions between innovation and decay, the commercial and the residential, the manmade and the natural, he has documented a quintessentially American conundrum: out insatiable desire to exploit the lower Mississippi River’s potential while still leaving room for life along its banks. The photography in this book eloquently captures the contrasting qualities of these landscapes. Essays from Paul Schneider, author of numerous natural history books, and photographic historian John H. Lawrence offer background on the subject matter and techniques in Sexton’s images. Together, these essays illustrate the many shades of this enigmatic stream. Richard Sexton is a fine art and media photographer whose work has been published and exhibited worldwide. His photographs have been featured in Abitare, Photographer’s Forum, and View Camera magazines, as well as many others. Enigmatic Stream is his fourteenth book. Others include Creole World: Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere, Terra Incognita: Photographs of America’s Third Coast, Vestiges of Grandeur: The Plantations of Louisiana’s River Road, and the best-selling New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence. He received the 2014 Michael P. Smith Memorial Award for Documentary Photography from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and was an award recipient in American Photography’s Latin America Fotografía annual competition. 70

Hitting the Nail on the Head
The Complete Writings of John Piper O��� L������� John Piper was one the most articulate and interesting artists, known for his simple but perceptive language, his breadth and vision and integrity as an artist and who lived through changing and evolving art times and movements, 1903 –1992. The Complete Writings of John Piper offers for the first time a comprehensive range of views of one of the greatest and most varied (like Picasso in diversity and quality) British painters of the 20th Century. It includes all his writings, and provides a remarkable, vivid and uniquely personal and erudite view of the human controversies, art movements, concerns and exhibitions in literary and artistic circles, and by an author whose integrity and intelligence, development and thoughtfulness, despite the hostility of others, remained true and unique to his own inner voice. A monumental undertaking over many years these ten volumes are for anyone interested in the 20th Century and in being an artist. Based in Oxford, England and the Luberon Valley, Provence orde is an international art historian, lecturer, author, playright, poet, painter and inventor. He is an expert on John Piper and on the Writings of Daniel Henry Kahnweiler. He is a published author of more than seventeen books and the publications range from African Art and Artists, to John Piper and “Art, An Adaptive function”. He has been invited speak on this topic at number Shakespeare conferences worldwide. The culmination of this is two works The Rialto Dialogues and Shylock the Magnificent, both of which are scheduled to be published in 2019.
