Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Incredible but true - the story of how one woman lived for a whole year on just a pound a day. Kath Kelly was broke. That was ok, as all her friends were, too. But she had an important event to budget for, just a year away. One drunken night, she made a rash decision: to live on just a pound a day for the next twelve months. In 12 month-by-month chapters, she tells how a mission to cut her spending to the bone showed her another side of herself and of human nature. Through a year like no year she had spent before, she discovered how greed and waste was messing up people - to say nothing of the planet - and came to see how much fun can be had on a few pennies a day. A comprehensive directory of organisations and websites provides invaluable leads for all of us - whether we want to follow Kath all the way or just pick up tips on how to save money and live more sensibly.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 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.

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.
