A magnificent new printing of this classic album of Norman Rockwell's best-loved works with full-colour captions in theTiny Folio series

At the outset of his career, Norman Rockwell was not the most likely candidate for long-term celebrity; he was just one of many skilful illustrators working within the conventions of the day. But there was something tenacious about his vision, and something uncanny about his access to the wellsprings of public taste. Although technically he was an academic painter, he had the eye of a photographer and, as he became a mature artist, he used this eye to give us a picture of America that was familiar astonishingly so and at the same time unique.

It seems familiar because it was everyone s dream of America; and it was unique because only Rockwell managed to bring it to life with such authority. This was, perhaps, an America that never existed, but it was an America the public wanted to exist. And Rockwell put it together from elements that were there for everyone to see.

Rockwell helped preserve American myths, but, more than that, he recreated them and made them palatable for new generations. His function was to reassure people, to remind them of old values in times of rapid change.

Christopher Finch was born in Guernsey in the British Channel Islands, and now lives in Los Angeles. He is an artist and a photographer who has had one person shows in New York and California, and he is the author of almost thirty non-fiction books including the best sellers Rainbow: the Stormy Life of Judy Garland, The Art of Walt Disney, Jim Henson: the Works,and Norman Rockwell's America. Recently he has embarked on a series of noir-inflected mystery novels set in New York in the late 1960s and featuring the private investigator Alex Novalis. The first of these,Good Girl, Bad Girl, is to be published by Thomas & Mercer in 2013. These books draw on his own experiences in the New York art world at a time when today's SoHo was an urban wilderness with rats frolicking in the gutters and artists eking out a living in barren loft spaces. He is married to Linda Rosenkrantz, an author and a cofounder of the website Nameberry.

The official catalogue of the Centre Pompidou s Surrealism Exhibition which begins in Paris, 4 September 2024 to 13 January 2025, and moves on to Spain, Germany and the USA

Featuring pages from André Breton s Surrealist Manifesto

Illustrated with 250 Surrealist masterpieces, including works by some of the world s most famous artists

Reversible layout

Organisers say it is an unprecedented way to organise an exhibition: while some works and themes remain constant in each city, others change and each museum tells its own story. Perfect, then, for a movement that always aimed to subvert traditional artistic norms. The Guardian

This blend of scholarly insight and artistic exploration makes the catalogue not only visually stunning but intellectually enriching. Artlyst The defining book for the centenary of Surrealism.

From September 2024 to January 2025, the Centre Pompidou will celebrate the 100th anniversary of André Breton s Surrealist Manifesto. For the next two years, their unprecedented Surrealist exhibition will tour the art galleries of the world, accompanied by this special catalogue.

Perhaps more than any other artistic movement, Surrealism had a cataclysmic effect on the modern mind, changing forever the way we think about experiencing the world. By rejecting the gross linearity that typified several centuries of preceding artworks, the legendary Surrealists Magritte, Ernst, Carrington, Dalí, Tanning and so many others reached beyond the façade of that which is patently visible and found something more.

Like the great works that fill its pages, Surrealism offers a departure from singletrack thinking, with a multi-directional layout and an uninhibited design. Featuring original essays from leading academics and excerpts from the Surrealist Manifesto itself, this stands among the most essential Surrealist catalogues ever published.

His artistic creations also incorporate short stories, poems and concrete poetry, many of which have been published by his own publishing house Wild Hawthorn Press, and which, with a mixture of wit and beauty, engage with the relationship between violence and civilisation.

Pia Maria Simig worked closely with Finlay, supervising installations and exhibitions of his work throughout the world.

The Bargue-Gérôme Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth-century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting, with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost 60 académies, or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer. With great care, the student is introduced to continually more difficult problems in the close observing and recording of nature. Charles Bargue started his career as a lithographer of drawings by hack artists for a popular market in comic, sentimental and soft-porn subjects. By working with Gérôme, and in preparing the plates for the course, Bargue was transformed into a spectacular painter of single figures and intimate scenes; a master of precious details that always remain observation and never became self-conscious virtuosity, and colour schemes that unified his composition in exquisite tonal harmonies. The last part of the book is a biography of Bargue, along with a preliminary catalogue of his paintings, accompanied by reproductions of all that have been found and of many of those lost.

A renowned specialist in nineteenth-century academic art, Gerald Ackerman (1928-2016) was the author of several books including The Life and Work of Jean-Léon Gérôme, The Orientalists of the British School and The Orientalists of the American School Graydon Parrish is a renowned figurative painter, famous in the United States for his allegory Remorse, Despondence, and Acceptance of An Early Death, at the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, Massachusetts.

The new monograph of the great English urban artist D*Face, bringing together the best of the past four years: murals (on five continents), paintings, lithographs, objects, motorcycles, etc.

In France, his two large murals (created in 2018 and 2023) can be seen in Paris along the elevated metro line 6 in the 13th arrondissement

A book for urban art enthusiasts, beautifully presented with visible stitching

Includes unpublished photographs and stories of an icon of street art

D*Face, born Dean Stockton, is a British artist known for his distinctive blend of pop art and punk culture in street art. Drawing inspiration from American comics, he creates street art and exhibits globally, contributing to the rise of contemporary street art alongside artists like OBEY and BANKSY.

The purpose of this book is to give a wider insight into the practice of working within the streets and the public domain. What people most often see of street art is actually the middle point of an artwork s lifespan, the clean image of a recently finished mural or a freshly peeled sticker but that s not the whole picture. Not only is there a whole process leading up to the creation of a mural but there also exists a journey of change after work has been left to the streets. Paint fades, tags appear, stickers peel and crack all these are part and parcel of what it means to work within the street. This book aims to tell that story.

D*Face, whose real name is Dean Stockton, prominent British street artist known for his unique approach to urban art, is the author of the book. Born in 1978 in London, he has become one of the most prolific contemporary urban artists of his generation. His work is heavily influenced by pop art, drawing inspiration from artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. D*Face's art features dysfunctional characters that satirize various aspects of society, particularly our obsessions with fame, over-consumption, and materialism. His murals and artworks often serve as thought-provoking social commentaries, adding depth and critical perspective to the urban art scene. Over the years, D*Face has made significant contributions to the street art movement. He established StolenSpace, a gallery in Shoreditch, and held his first major London solo exhibition, Death & Glory, in October 2006. His artistic journey spans 17 years, reflecting his evolution as an artist and his ongoing influence on the world of urban and contemporary art.

£25.00

First show in Oxford for Anselm Kiefer, running from the 14 February to 15 Jun 2025

Prime focus on early works

Features three new works not previously published

Extensive chronology of Anselm Kiefer

Contributions from a range of expert authors

This book accompanies a major exhibition in the Ashmolean Museum on the early work of internationally acclaimed German artist Anselm Kiefer. It focuses on his paintings, drawings, photographs and artist books created between 1969 and 1982, in the private collections of the Hall Art Foundation. Anselm Kiefer: Early Works is the first institutional show and publication in the UK dedicated to Kiefer s early practice. The book introduces themes, subjects and styles that have become signature to Kiefer s work, while providing a more intimate and complementary context for his large-scale installations that he is best known for today. The early works are accompanied by three recent paintings from the artist s own collections and White Cube, chosen by the artist himself.

Art historians, artists, curators and experts of Kiefer s art from Germany, Austria, Belgium, Britain and the US have contributed 46 original texts on individual works, organised in a chronological structure. An illustrated chronology at the end of the book compiled by Stephanie Biron from the Hall Art Foundation provides an overview of the artist s early practice and life, to contextualise the works.

The book begins with Kiefer s iconic Occupations and Heroische Sinnbilder series, created in 1969 and 1970, which Kiefer views as his first serious works. Kiefer was among the first generation of German post-war artists to directly confront the country s troubled past and identity. Full of complex references to German socio-political history but also to culture, literature and his personal life, Kiefer s early works carry a unique iconography, linking classic ideas of great art with a distinctive understanding of concrete artistic materiality. The landscapes in his watercolours are historically charged; hand-written words on paintings are closely linked with poetry well known to most German viewers; motifs and symbols point at Nazi ideologies and a collective feeling of guilt.

An expansive retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, in Paris, shows why the visionary artist continues to turn heads. W Magazine This illustrated catalogue is published to accompany the retrospective exhibition devoted to American artist Mark Rothko, curated by Suzanne Pagé and the artist s son, Christopher Rothko. The show will feature over one hundred works. Born Markus Rothkowitz in Latvia in the early 20th century, the man who would soon become known as Mark Rothko began painting in the 1930s. While his early works were influenced by mythology and Surrealism, his first abstract paintings emerged in the 1940s with theMultiform series, followed by his Classic Years and the Black and Gray paintings. A key figure on the New York art scene, Rothko was an uncategorisable artist who deployed an extensive palette of colour and light with a talent that consistently triggers emotion. His great sensitivity shaped a poetic, enigmatic universe that leaves no one untouched.

Text in English and French.

An internationally renowned art historian, Suzanne Pagé is currently artistic director of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Formerly the director of the Musée d Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, she curated the previous French retrospective of Rothko s work, back in 1999.

This is the first book to be entirely dedicated to the artwork of Jivya Soma Mashe. Through the quality of his work, Jivya Soma Mashe stands comparison with other outstanding enigmatic artists, such as Bill Traylor or Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, who broaden our understanding of the diversity of forms and cultures.

Jivya Soma Mashe (1934 2018) is a legendary figure among his people, the Warli, a tribe of around 300,000 inhabiting an area 150 km north of Mumbai (Maharashtra, India). Its members are animists and speak a language that has never developed a written form. To the best of human memory, it is Warli women who have always painted ritual and ephemeral paintings directly on the walls of their huts. The Warli have developed an extremely basic pictography based on circles, triangles, and squares to express their animist culture and represent their only deity, the mother goddess Palghatta, at the centre of each painting.

After losing his mother at a young age, Jivya Soma Mashe took refuge in drawing, immersing himself in a personal style that first elicited the admiration of his peers and later that of regional, national, and international authorities. Jivya Soma Mashe received his first national award in 1976 from Indira Gandhi herself. His works featured prominently in the Magiciens de la terre exhibition (Centre Pompidou, Paris 1989) and in the exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Cartier Foundation (Paris 2014).

Text in English and French.

Hervé Perdriolle is an art critic and exhibition organiser. After co-ordinating the first show of the French Figuration Libre movement (Blanchard, Boisrond, Combas, Di Rosa, Viollet) in Paris (1981), he organised the first exhibitions of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring at Musée d Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1984).

While Egyptian Art forms the smallest section in the Museum, various generations of specialists have recognised that it is one of the most important in the entire Collection

The rarity and exceptional quality of the pieces, and the variety of their forms and iconography, coupled with the clear chronological structure of the exhibition, bring the visitor into contact with moments from a vast historical period stretching from the Old Kingdom to the Roman Period

Continuing the publication program that aims to disseminate the Collection through albums that present specific sections in a systematic manner, this volume focuses on Egyptian Art. The section was first studied by Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, when the pieces that would be included in the Museum s permanent exhibition were selected, and first published in 1991 by the curator of the section, Maria Helena Assam. 15 years on, new texts have been written by Egyptologist Luís Manuel de Araújo, a professor at the Arts Faculty of the University of Lisbon.

Calouste Gulbenkian mostly assembled his collection of Egyptian art between 1922 and 1929. Relatively small but very diverse, it includes pieces of exceptional quality from the various periods when art in pharaonic Egypt was at its height. The catalogue not only covers the pieces on display at the Museum, but also those kept in the storeroom.

Luís Manuel de Araújo has a PhD in History and Pre-classical Culture, University of Lisbon, and is a Professor at the Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon (Oriental Institute). Postgraduate internship in Egyptology, Faculty of Archaeology, University of Cairo (1984-1985).

At the heart of Hoda Tawakol s work is a profound confrontation with identity, femininity and power. Inspired by the memories of her three mothers her mother, her grandmother, and her nanny the Egyptian-French artist (b. 1968) spins a narrative web of life and art with loss and recollection intersecting, while the complex interplay of individual and collective identity takes centre stage. The body as an experiential focus is key for Tawakol; and her textile sculptures and installations refer to it both as a protective shield and as a surface for projection; they decipher the balance of power between the extremes of exposure and concealment.Some Ties Linger On is Hoda Tawakol s first monograph; with numerous images and two accompanying essays, it offers a comprehensive overview of her artistic oeuvre to date.

Text in English and German.

Born 1968 in London, Hoda Tawakol is Egyptian and French. She is a visual and fibre artist who is now based in Hamburg.

New approaches to the work of renowned artists such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Luca Giordano, Claude Monet, Paul Nash, Bruce Nauman, Wael Shawky, Tesfaye Urgessa and Kara Walker

Can We Stop Killing Each Other? wrestles with the darkest side of humanity. It explores the fundamental question of why humans are led to kill, examining the artworks, films, video games and television programmes that grapple with and manifest themes of death and destruction.

Using material culture linked to moments of extreme violence, such as the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, this publication offers a challenging but eye-opening consideration of some of the most horrifying events in human history as explored through art.

Using historical and contemporary art as a lens to explore these themes, the book will include a new interview with Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa (b.1983), who creates emotive paintings reflecting on the refugee crisis. It will also explore the role of art as sanctuary from violence, through new approaches to the work of Claude Monet (1840 1926)

Ky sai's fascinating publication on the ancient art of Japanese falconry, the Ehon Taka Kagami, is reproduced for the first time with full English translations

Kawanabe Ky sai (pen name Kawanabe Tôiku) is a globally celebrated 19th century Japanese artist with an astonishing repertoire of styles and artistic themes. His woodcut print picture book on falconry, Ehon Taka Kagami (The Mirror of Hawking), first published in 1863, remains relatively unknown among his modern admirers. Nonetheless, An Illustrated Mirror of Hawking is an invaluable record of an ancient art. Ky sai was commissioned by a retired daimyo (feudal lord) to create studies depicting traditional Japanese falconry, which may have inspired the illustrated plates of the An Illustrated Mirror of Hawking. He added explanatory script to caption most plates, as well as stories, poems, and songs chronicling falconry and celebrating nature. This edition provides the first proper translation of the Ehon Taka Kagami, revealing the meaning of the words accompanying each plate to non-Japanese readers. In addition to fully reprinting the original images and texts, this edition includes contextual essays and reference images that provide important background information about Ky sai, the history of Japanese falconry, and the origins of this unique publication.

Kawanabe Ky sai (1831 1889) is a globally celebrated artist and among the most talented painters of 19th Century Japan. Karl-Heinz Gersmann is a falconer, historian, and collector based in Germany. John Goodell is Executive Director and Chief Curator of The Archives of Falconry in Boise, Idaho. Keiya Nakajima is a falconer and Executive Director of The Japan Falconiformes Center, and served the International Association for Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey as Vice President for Asia. Alain Briot is a French medical doctor and an expert in Japanese art and language.

Through new scholarship, visually illustrates some of the reasons for the reassessment of James Will publish in March 2025 to mark the 400th anniversary of James s death

The World of King James VI and I exhibition is showing at the Portrait, National Galleries of Scotland from 26th April to 14th September 2025

James VI & I, the only child of Mary, Queen of Scots, has often been overshadowed by the dramatic lives of his mother and son, Charles I. This book seeks to redress the balance by centering the first monarch to reign over both Scotland and England and uncovering the artistic treasures created during his extraordinary reign.

The cultural riches of James s court are showcased, revealing his diverse roles as ruler, scholar, politician, father and patron of the arts. His court s passion for jewellery and fine clothes is illustrated in the vivid portraits and miniatures by John de Critz and Nicholas Hilliard just two of many artists and craftspeople who thrived in its artistic and intellectual climate.

Five richly illustrated chapters demonstrate James s impact on early modern Britain, while reconsidering the reputation of a king traditionally presented as preferring hunting and drinking to the duties of daily governance. Packed with exquisite art works and sumptuous objects, this book brings James s court vividly to life.

This richly illustrated and well researched catalogue illuminates the whole span of Thorvald Hellesen's Cubism

Colour orgies [ ] slung up on the walls. This was just one of many caustic remarks aimed at Thorvald Hellesen s first and last exhibition in Norway, held in 1919. He would never again exhibit in his native country, where he was gradually forgotten.

In Paris, Hellesen became part of the Cubist circle in Montparnasse. Here he got to know Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes and Fernand Léger. In around 1920, he finally achieved critical acclaim. He became a member of Section d Or, was a frequent Salon exhibitor, and had his work reproduced in Der Sturm and De Stijl. Among the Cubists, Hellesen is one of the most interesting, declared Amédée Ozenfant.

This richly illustrated and well researched catalogue illuminates the whole span of Hellesen s Cubism. His interactions with Orphism, Crystal Cubism and Mechanical Cubism are explored, together with his attempts to exploit Cubism in interior design and fashion. The book also examines Hellesen s status as an outsider in Norway and partial insider in Paris and subsequently as an overlooked pioneer of the Norwegian and Nordic avant-garde.

Beautifully printed on heavy uncoated paper, with some reproductions life size, this book conveys the intensity and freshness and stupendous virtuosity of these artists whose work in watercolour has never been rivalled. An extended essay by the leading expert and former Tate curator Ian Warrell examines the paintings and gives a vivid picture of the artists who made them.

At the turn of the 16th century, three titans of the Italian Renaissance Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael briefly crossed paths, competing for the attention of the most powerful patrons in Republican Florence Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy from 9 November 2024 to 16 February 2025

Put your money on Leonardo in this restaging of the Turner prize of the High Renaissance. The Guardian

At the turn of the 16th century, three titans of the Italian Renaissance briefly crossed paths, competing for the attention of the most powerful patrons in Republican Florence. In January 1504 the city s most prominent artists came together to advise on an appropriate location for Michelangelo s nearly finished sculpture of David. Among them was Leonardo da Vinci, who like Michelangelo had only recently returned to his native Florence. In this beautifully designed book, Scott Nethersole and Per Rumberg take Michelangelo s celebrated Taddei Tondo as their starting point, and examine the rivalry between Michelangelo and Leonardo, and the influence of both on the young Raphael. Some of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance drawing are reproduced, including Leonardo sBurlington House Cartoon and studies by Leonardo and Michelangelo for their murals commissioned by the Florentine government for the newly constructed council hall in the Palazzo della Signoria.

Scott Nethersole is Professor of the History of Art and Architecture from 500 to 1500 at Radboud University, Nijmegen. Per Rumberg is Jacob Rothschild Head of the Curatorial Department at the National Gallery, London.

During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, David Hockney was in Normandy, and recorded the arrival of spring in exuberant iPad paintings

Over a hundred new iPad paintings on display at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2021

Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, 23 May 26 August 2021

At the beginning of 2020, just as global Covid-19 restrictions were coming into force, the artist David Hockney was at his house, studio and garden in Normandy. From there, he witnessed the arrival of spring, and recorded the blossoming of the surrounding landscape on his iPad, a medium he has been using for over a decade. Working outdoors was an antidote to the anxiety of the moment for Hockney

We need art, and I do think it can relieve stress, he says.

This uplifting publication produced to accompany a major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts includes 116 of his new iPad paintings and shows to full effect Hockney s singular skill in capturing the exuberance of nature.

William Boyd is the author of sixteen novels, among them A Good Man in Africa (1981), An Ice Cream War (1982), Any Human Heart (2002), Restless (2006) and Trio (2020)

£18.95

An exploration of the vivid watercolour and ink sketches that Hockney made in his home county, Yorkshire

Features a range of stunning images, some with vast, panoramic spans and others depicting rooted, familiar locations

A short but enlightening insight into Hockney's creative process

In recent years David Hockney has returned to England to paint the landscape of his childhood. East Yorkshire s stern hillscapes, craggy drystone walls and endless windswept moors make for a stimulating muse, and Hockney s work captures the character of this scenery with expert precision.

Although his passionate interest in new technologies has led Hockney to develop a virtuoso drawing technique on an iPad, he is still regularly accompanied by a trusty sketchbook. This invaluable tool allows him to work quickly, capturing the changing light and the fleeting effects of the weather. Executed in watercolour and ink, these panoramic scenes have the spatial complexity of finished paintings: the broad sweep of sky or road, the patchwork tapestry of land. Yet unlike a painting completed in the studio, far-removed from the landscape that inspired it, these sketches convey the immediacy of Hockney s impressions. And as indicated by views down village streets and across kitchen tables, his rooted local knowledge and fondness for the area around the East Yorkshire Wolds always shines through.

If you know the region, the location of these sketches is unmistakable. If you don t, its features will come to life in these pages, animated by Hockney s incomparable skill.

David Hockney CH RA is an internationally acclaimed artist. He studied at Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957 and at the Royal College of Art, London, from 1959 to 1962. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1963, and now splits his time between America and East Yorkshire, where he grew up.

The largest UK survey of Kerry James Marshall's work to date, with a new series of paintings made especially for the exhibition Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy 20 September 2025 - 18 January 2026

Kerry James Marshall: The Histories is the most extensive publication on the artist to date, celebrating half a century of his work. It reveals the complex ways in which he has transformed histories of Western painting, centering Black bodies in ambitious compositions set in barber shops, public housing projects, parks, and beauty salons. It charts his use of portraiture to memorialise individuals such as Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and Olaudah Equiano. A new series, illustrated here for the first time, looks at underacknowledged aspects of the history of Africa. With lavish illustrations of all the works in the accompanying exhibition, it also includes chapters on Marshall s Rythm Mastr project and his various public commissions including his stained glass windows for the cathedral in Washington D.C.. A survey by Mark Godfrey is accompanied by shorter essays by Aria Dean, Darby English, Madeleine Grynsztejn, Cathérine Hug, Nikita Sena Quarshie, Rebecca Zorach, and an interview between Kerry James Marshall and Benjamin H.D.

Published to accompany the exhibition Artemisia Héroïne de l'art, 19 March- August 2025, Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris

Artemisia Gentileschi has been the subject of much attention in recent decades. Research dedicated to her has, however, often returned a stereotyped and reductive image of the artistic universe and personality of the painter. The professional figure of Gentileschi, who was able to move with great success in what we now call the art system, finally finds new dignity. Unpublished attributions from private collections are flanked by the painter s masterpieces, reconstructing the framework of the international commissions that consecrated her as a protagonist of the European Baroque, in the most complete and up-to-date volume dedicated to the artist. The innovative charge of language and the exceptional nature of Artemisia s iconographic choices reveal the documented interests and literary, scientific and musical frequentations that the painter skilfully cultivated in every city that recorded her passage.

The first monograph of contemporary mosaic celebrating the renaissance of the art in the past decade

Tessa Hunkin is this country's pre-eminent mosaic designer and maker

A breathtakingly beautiful gallery of mosaics

Tessa Hunkin s Hackney Mosaic Project has been responsible for some of the most witty and imaginative mosaics of recent years. In a bold reinvention of the classical tradition, Tessa has assembled a passionate and diverse team of makers, creating beautiful mosaics that have become cherished landmarks, celebrating community and elevating the streets of East London.

This inspirational collection reveals the scope of Hackney Mosaic Project s achievement for the first time, ranging from modest pieces in private gardens to expansive murals and pavements in public parks.

Tessa Hunkin trained and worked as an architect until 1989 when she joined Emma Biggs at the recently founded Mosaic Workshop in Holloway, North London. Mosaic offered a way of developing a lifelong interest in colour and decoration while still working in an architectural context. In 2000 Tessa worked on the first of a series of commissions to fabricate mosaics for Westminster Cathedral. As well as working on commissions Tessa has collaborated on books about mosaics and her work appeared in various exhibitions. In 2008 she began teaching at Workshop and Company, an organisation in Westminster that helped people recovering from mental health problems, and she also helped the service users to participate in a series of mosaic commissions including the entrance floor at the Lyric Theatre, Carmarthen. Tessa Hunkin founded Hackney Mosaic Project in 2012 and over the past decade she has presided over a renaissance in the art of mosaic making, leading a team comprising of hundreds of people who have created dozens of beautiful mosaics and installed them across East London

Discusses, for the first time, the influence Vincent van Gogh had on the work of Charley Toorop and the fascination she had for him

A wonderful selection of masterpieces by Charley Toorop in this book Also shown in an exhibition in Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands

Charley Toorop s work has its own originality and power. This is not to say that she did not have an eye to the work of other artists. On the contrary. Toorop admired the painting of Piet Mondrian, but also of foreign contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Léger. Yet there is one artist who she believes stood at the cradle of her artistry and for whom she subsequently had respect throughout her life: Vincent van Gogh. His work was for her the breakthrough to a new world

Four essays explain her fascination and place it in a broader context. They include her travels to the Borinage and southern France where she saw the landscape and people through Van Gogh s eyes, her awe of Van Gogh s deep barren love of reality placed in the social and political engagement of the interwar period and her interest in man s state of mind.

Renske Cohen Tervaert is curator at the Kröller-Müller Museum. Wessel Krul is professor of Modern Art and Cultural History at the University of Groningen. Franka Blok is junior researcher at the Van Gogh Museum. Marjet Brolsma is Senior Lecturer in European Cultural History at the European Studies department of the University of Amsterdam.

Celebrating the life of Frida Kahlo 70 years after her passing, getting to know that life, that woman, that artist, that ICON! Famous for her paintings as well as her unique personality and multifaceted life

The perfect coffee table book, but so much more!

Frida the woman. Frida the artist. Frida the icon. Fragile and indomitable, she made herself a work of art, celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Hers was an existence made of passion, revolution, brightly coloured clothes, and paintings that mirrored her dances with death and love for life. A life like hers requires splendid images and intense text chronicling its many adventures. From her childhood to the accident, from her discovery of painting and the ties with extraordinary characters such as André Breton, Tina Modotti, Lev Trotsky, to her legendary marriage to Diego Rivera and her enchantment with the Casa Azul. This stunning book is a homage to the human being who became a symbol of emancipation and freedom. A hymn to diversity and joie de vivre, dedicated to all women of the world.

Chiara Pasqualetti Johnson writes about travel, art, and lifestyle for major Italian magazines. Johnson is also the author of several successful female biographies with White Star, including Portraits of Great Women (2018), which was translated into fourteen languages, and, Coco Chanel: The Style Revolution (2020), a best-seller with seven international editions, and many more.
