With his fiercely unsophisticated paintings the near illiterate mariner Alfred Wallis became the unlikely darling of the 1930s modernists grouped around Ben Nicholson, while Bryan Pearce's serene, naively crafted depictions of St Ives have also taken their place in the pantheon of twentieth century British art. A chapter on the self-taught Mary Jewels throws new light on the life of a much neglected artist, first encouraged by Cedric Morris and later collected by Augustus John. The survey concludes with brief profiles of a dozen other artists whose individual visions have enriched the life of this celebrated artists' community.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When serving as an orderly in the Beaufort Military Hospital, Bristol during the First World War, the young Stanley Spencer met Desmond Chute, a 20-year old aesthete and scion of a noted Bristol theatre family. A close friendship ensued, as the 31 letters in this collection attest. Far more sophisticated and better educated, Chute introduced the older man (Spencer was 24 when they met) to classical literature and great music and, perhaps most crucially, to theConfessionsof St Augustine. Chutes influence on Spencers intellectual development cannot be exaggerated. Spencers often illustrated letters include some written while awaiting posting overseas, others from the battlefields of Macedonia give glimpses of his tribulations in a theatre of war, along with extraordinarily well-wrought reminiscences of Cookham, colourfully populated with places and characters. A few, concluding, letters were written from Fernlea back in his home village, and Hampstead in the 1920s. Desmond Chute (1895-1962) was for a while at the Slade School of Art. He became an assistant to Eric Gill, and involved in the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic. He was admitted as a Catholic priest in 1927, moving to Italy where he was a friend of Ezra Pound. He had some success as a published writer and playwright, including a radio play broadcast by the BBC in 1955. All the letters are transcribed for the modern reader; some are also reproduced facsimile with Spencers illustrations. A series of introductory essays, Stanley Spencer at war and peace, by Paul Gough give the background to the correspondence, discuss its importance to Spencer, and provide previously unpublished information about the Chute family. Archive photographs provide a visual context. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. John Edgar Platt was one of the leading lights of 1920s and 1930s printmaking. This is the first book to consider his place in British 20th century printmaking and investigate the influence of Japanese woodblock printing on the output of Platt and his contemporaries. It features colour illustrations of all his printed work and two essays by print expert Hilary Chapman.A master of the colour woodblock print in the Japanese style, Platt combined eastern technique with a western design sensibility. His use of bold colour inspired one critic to praise the 'gamut of singing hues' found in his prints. Fellow colour woodblock artist Allen Seaby acknowledged that There is no doubt that in your hands the wood print has been raised far above its former status.The fusion of traditional European subject matter with the Japanese woodblock method enabled Platt to create some of the most original images in British printmaking. He found subjects to inspire him among the harbours and fishing boats of Cornwall and Devon and in warmer climes at St Tropez. During the 1930s he adopted a spare style based on blocks of flat colour to create strikingly modern works including Horse (1934), Lapwings (1936) and his masterpiece the triptych The Plough (1937). First book about this printmaker John Edgar Platt. Considers his place in British 20th century printmaking and investigates the influence of Japanese woodblock printing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the 1960s Tim Scott tested the limits of what a sculpture could be. Visionary and audacious, his large-scale constructions radically transformed the inheritance of Constantin Brancusi and Henri Matisse. How spatially expansive could sculpture become whilst retaining its identity as sculpture? Could sculpture incorporate colour and translucency, without abandoning a sense of mass and density? Scott explored these questions in materials new to sculpture including plywood, fibreglass, steel, aluminium, perspex and latex foam. This publication provides succinct commentaries on ten key sculptures by Scott, along with an introduction by his contemporary William Tucker. AUTHOR: Sam Cornish is a writer and curator. His publications include Frank Bowling: Sculpture (Ridinghouse, 2022), John Hoyland: The Last Paintings (Ridinghouse, 2021), Mali Morris: Painting (Royal Academy, 2019), Stockwell Depot 1967-79 (Ridinghouse, 2015), John Panting: Sculpture (Sansom & Co, 2012) and Robert Motherwell: Drawings (Bernard Jacobson Gallery, 2011).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Me, Myself, I Artists Self-Portraits explores self-portraiture by artists based in Britain between 1722 and 2022. It discusses the ways and traditions through which artists have presented themselves and how the genre has increasingly offered the means to take control and re-present oneself, often challenging society to re-think its social mores. It will provide an illuminating overview and contextual backstory to our current interest in self-representation and the selfie. Self-portraits can go beyond the professional towards the personal, with self-examination offering both analysis and psychoanalysis. Some artists have made multiple self-portraits over time, reflecting on how we are subject to change. Others have explored issues they have identified with, including the agency of women or the breaking of taboos around sexuality. Self-portraiture has also been a way of promoting oneself, ensuring artistic survival and long-term recognition. Since the 1940s it has played an important role for artists in expressing the complexities of identity and post-colonialism in Britain. Self-portraiture traditionally was achieved through the use of mirrors; now it offers us a mirror on society across the centuries what was acceptable, important, fashionable or needed to be de-bunked. This volume accompanies a compelling landmark exhibition bringing historical context to todays selfie culture.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This beautiful book, of paintings by Alice Mumford and poems by Sue Leigh, brings together exciting new work from the two makers. Collaboration is perhaps not the right word for a project in which paintings and poems sit side by side, each illuminating the other. Onlooker and reader are offered another glimpse, another view which may change the experience of looking and reading. The book includes conversations between painter and poet in which they discuss their experience of working in their different media and consider the limitations and possibilities of each. They talk about their sources of inspiration, how they might choose a subject (or does it choose them?), and the process that surrounds the making of their work. What do they share in their creative lives and how do they differ? The work of these two contemporary artists celebrates the intimacy and beauty that can be found in our everyday lives. AUTHORS: Alice teaches life drawing and painting at St Ives School of Painting and is an Academician of the Royal West of England Academy. She is known especially for her still lifes in piercingly vivid colour. She has exhibited widely, both in London and Cornwall. Sansom & Co also published her book Alice Mumford: Colour from Coast to Coast Sue Leigh's second collection of poems, Her Orchards, was published by Two Rivers Press in 2021. Her first book, Chosen Hill, was described by the TLS as 'an intelligent and considered collection that pays homage to the act of paying attention'. A pamphlet, Chalk, was published recently by Evergreen Press. She teaches at Oxford and runs her own poetry courses.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Altdorf's earliest poems, written during military service and as a prisoner of war, reflected on nature, poetry and art. Beginning a new life, post-war, as an artist, Altdorf explored how the human figure might be depicted through increasingly abstract representations. Similarly, he refined his poetry to create 'a new, free, melodic' language' with 'a simple, song-like beauty'. Presenting Altdorf's poetry alongside his art reveals a powerfully interconnected vision shaped but not defined by war: a humanitarian outlook informed by a profound spiritual belief. AUTHOR: Born in Pomerania, the German artist Egon Altdorf (19222008) settled in 1946 in Wiesbaden, where he worked as a sculptor, printmaker and stained-glass designer. Throughout his life he wrote poetry, creating a body of work that reflects upon his own art, the art of others and the world around him. Dr Judith LeGrove is a writer who has worked extensively with artists and their archives. Recent publications include Geoffrey Clarke: a sculptor's materials (2017), Into the Light: The Art of Egon Altdorf (2023) and Kenneth Draper: On the Edge of Sculpture (2023). Michael Trevor was a production designer for many years. His credits include The Secret Agent (BBC 1992, from Joseph Conrad's novel), The Ice House (BBC 1997), and a short film by Christophe Gerard, Annotations (2001). He has longstanding interests in architectural history, poetry, and German literature. This first edition of Egon Altdorfs poetry in German with parallel English translations includes previously unpublished texts. Illustrated throughout with archival photographs and examples of his woodcuts, sculptures and stained glass, Poems + Images illuminates key aspects of Altdorfs art and creative identity.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Herry Perry (1897-1962) is an important, but neglected, artist of the 1920s-50s. The book brings together all aspects of her art for the first time. She studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts (now Central Saint Martins) from 1924-7 and was taught wood engraving there by Noel Rooke. Her first love was wood engraving but she quickly moved on to use the wide range of other skills she acquired at the Central. Her best known work is the posters she designed for Frank Pick at London Transport from 1927-38. She produced some sixty witty and inventive posters during this time. Some of these included birds-eye view maps of areas of London. She was also commissioned to paint murals, most famously two on R.M.S. Queen Mary in 1936, and also a map mural for Rothamsted Research Station in 1932 (which can still be seen there). She also illustrated various books, some of which were written by her. The text and illustrations often show her sense of humour. The Second World War and the death of Frank Pick in 1941 put an end to her poster work. After the War she painted a large number of pub signs for various London and Kent breweries.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Banksy is always viewed through the lens of the 'whodunnit', as a disruptive street artist who alternates between being hailed a national treasure and urban folk hero; an imposter who has reneged on his graffiti roots. Despite his legendary status, there are many purists who think he has forsaken his street-cred for credit in the bank. But above all, we all remain obsessed by his anonymity, his high-profile invisibility, his status as the world's most famous unknown artist. This illustrated book takes a new approach to Banksy's work: it looks closely at his creative output as an artist, political commentator, and cultural phenomenon. Taking a thematic approach to Banksy's extensive practice as a stenciller, painter, curator and filmmaker, each section explores the craft, context and cultural forebears of 'his' work, setting it within the dominant social and political debates that have determined the artist's visual agenda. The book examines in detail individual artworks and also takes a critical view of the major events that have shaped Banksy's reputation; his highly ambitious inaugural exhibitions in the USA (Barely Legal, 2003); his invasion of some of the world's major collections The Louvre, the Met in New York, London's Tate Gallery and the British Museum during 2004-5 to 'donate' his own artworks; the radical remixing of the collection at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in 2009; the massive exhibition of different artist's works at Dismaland in 2015, and the notorious shredding of his own work during a live auction at Sotheby's. Interposed between these set-piece chapters the book tells the unfolding story of Banksy's emergence as an artist, with detailed analyses of his craft; the particular power of his stencilling, his comic ability to detourne old canvases, and his innovative use of words, lettering and fonts. AUTHOR: Professor Paul Gough is a British academic, painter and broadcaster who has written widely about British artists, including books on Stanley Spencer, John and Paul Nash, and the painter Gilbert Spencer for Yale University Press in 2024. His first book on Banksy explored the impact of the 2009 exhibition in Bristol and since then Gough has regularly written and commented on the street artist for BBC radio and television, Sky TV in UK and abroad, and numerous international stations, including ABC Australia, Channel 9 News, and RLT German television. In 2022, a short film alleging Gough was the street artist went viral over TikTok, receiving more than two million views. Vice-Chancellor of Arts University Bournemouth he is a painter and exhibitor, with work in international collections, and with extensive history of working in television, radio and media. This book is concerned with the practice of being Banksy, focussing on the craft behind his art, the visual language he has adopted and prefers, his artistic habits and tricks.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Peter Howson has established a formidable reputation as one of his generation's leading figurative painters. Many of his paintings derive inspiration from the streets of Glasgow, where he was brought up. He is renowned for his penetrating insight into the human condition, and his heroic portrayals of the mighty and the lowly. His experiences of abuse - whether self-inflicted and substance-related or the traumatic events of his childhood - have moulded his view of the world and afforded him an affinity with those individuals who are classed as somehow 'on the edge'. His ability to speak to those on the margins is proof of his enduring skill at capturing the maverick, the excessive and the non-conformist. In 1992 he was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to record the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. He was appointed official British war artist for Bosnia in 1993 and in 1996 was awarded Doctor of Letters at The University of Strathclyde. His work is in numerous international private and public collections. This publication is the first major statement about Howson's work for almost twenty years and accompanies a major retrospective at Edinburgh City Art Centre. It illustrates his consummate skill in a range of media and documents his religious work as well as his graphic responses to recent global events.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. John Bellany was one of the most significant Northern European Expressionists of the modern era. As with all expressionists his art is highly subjective and autobiographical and his self-portraits range from carefully observed student studies to disguising himself in different roles within his epic pictorial narratives. This book concentrates on the role of self-portraiture in Bellany's art to trace and present the complex development of his artistic and personal obsessions and shows how he portrayed himself through a variety of mediums, including his private sketch books and a wide range of printing techniques as well as drawings and paintings.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Scotlands Outer Hebrides on the rugged Isle of Lewis, five powerful award-winning monuments commemorate the islands Land Heroes. Their courageous struggle for Land Law Reform resulted in the thriving Gaelic speaking community that Lewis encompasses today.The intention of this book is twofold: through the photography of Robin Gillanders, the design, setting and materials of these sentinels in stone are brought together for all to enjoy, while essays by distinguished Scottish art historians, and Gaelic speaking island historian Dr Joni Buchannan, tell a vivid story of the events commemorated by each monument, examining their iconography, and exploring each work within the context of a wider cultural rebellion against the hegemony of imposed values.Compelled by Memory also pays tribute to the artist Will Maclean. He oversaw all five memorials installed between 1994 and 2019, initially designing those at Balallan, Aignish and Gress River, and then with fellow artist Marian Leven designed An Suileachan on the west coast. They were joined by the sculptor Arthur Watson in undertaking the meditational site to mark the centenary of the tragic loss of HMV Iolaire, wrecked in a terrible storm on New Years Day 1919, just outside Stornoway Harbour.In each case the projects grew from wide consultation. Maclean took no fee, working in cooperation with a team of Lewis men archaeologists, historians and the stone mason James Crawford to fulfil the brief honouring their ancestors through these narratives in stone, to create a group of the finest examples of land art in the British Isles.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Innumerable artists have found refuge in Britain during the past hundred and fifty years, escaping dispossession, torture, intellectual oppression or war. Their arrival frequently enriched art in Britain. Following the isolation of most emigres in the First World War, artists who escaped Nazism in the 1930s became part of art communities in places as far apart as Hampstead, Glasgow, Merthyr Tydfil, the Swansea valley and St Ives. Gabo and Mondrian influenced Nicholson, Hepworth and Lanyon, while younger artists were inspired by radical ideas of Kurt Schwitters and John Heartfield and by the Expressionists Bloch, Herman, Kokoshcka and Koppel. Lotte Reiniger brought innovations in animation and Bill Brandt and Felix Man showed the potential of documentary photography. Refugees have come since from China, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. The experiences of artist refugees have followed many patterns. Some stayed a short time and moved on, some made their lives in Britain, teaching, exhibiting and inspiring. In the 1940s, refugees contributed to the war effort and the defeat of fascism. The stories of later refugees contributions to British art are still unfolding. a book about the impact of refugee artists on British art.
