Inspired by the discovery of her personalarchives in 2007, the authors of this book have created the first volumededicated to the life and works of this renowned Parisian jeweller.In 1919 Belperron was employed as a model maker and designer by

Germaine Boivin. She contributed enormously to the success of theMaison René Boivin, but in 1932 she decided to leave the company. It waswith her associate Bernard Herz, a powerful precious stone and pearldealer, that Belperron first found the freedom to reject traditionaljewellery design and manufacture. Fascinated by coloured stones,regardless of their value, she created highly innovative pieces in contrastto the standard creations of the time which were mostly angular and setin platinum. Her jewellery was so original that she never signed herpieces, instead insisting ‘my style is my signature’.

Meylan reveals the riveting stories behind the jewels that theParisian jeweller sold; the desires they aroused, the madness theyprovoked, the love they formalised, and the deaths they caused.Boucheron’s clients included Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, King Faroukof Egypt, The Duke of Windsor, and Rita Hayworth.The demands ofthese wealthy and powerful individuals led to the sensationalorders that elevated Boucheron to highest level of creativity.

F.H.K Henrion was one of a distinguished group ofgraphic designers who brought cutting-edge continentaldesign to the rather parochial English scene. He quicklymade his mark as a poster designer for the Ministry ofInformation, but also began to build up a career inexhibition design, culminating in two highly originalpavilions for the Festival of Britain.However, Henrion is best remembered for his

evangelical work in corporate identity design, wherebyhe raised the status of the graphic designer toboardroom significance.

Claud Lovat Fraser - universally known as Lovat - is oneof the great unsung heroes of 20th-century Britishdesign. During his short life of just thirty-one years, heachieved an astonishing amount of work as draughtsman,watercolourist, caricaturist, publisher, illustrator, anddesigner of stage-sets, toys and fabrics; he also designedsilks for Liberty's, cretonnes for Foxton's, and book-jackets for Heinemann and Nelson. His inimitable styleand psychedelic palette became the hallmark of both theCurwen Press and the Poetry Bookshop.

Brian Duffy defined the image of the 1960s, and was asfamous as the stars he photographed. Together withDavid Bailey and Terence Donovan, he is recognised asone of the innovators of ‘documentary’ fashionphotography, a style which revolutionised the industry;the press nicknamed the three photographers 'TheTerrible Three', and Norman Parkinson added to theirnotoriety by naming them 'The Black Trinity.'Duffy's first commission came from Ernestine Carter,

the then fashion editor of The Sunday Times. From therehe was hired by British Vogue in 1957 where he remaineduntil 1963 photographing famous models such as PaulineStone and Jean Shrimpton. In the 1960s Duffy worked formany of the major fashion magazines and papers; his listof subjects was a role call of the celebrities of that time:Sidney Poitier, Michael Caine, Sammy Davis Jr., NinaSimone, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and WilliamBurroughs. However, in 1979 Duffy notoriously decidedto give up photography, burning his negatives in asymbolic fire in his back yard; many were lost but in2009, at the behest of his son Chris, Duffy took up thecamera again for a BBC documentary. Recently many negatives have been discovered and

salvaged, and the BBC documentary about his earlycareer and comeback, dubbed The Man Who Shot the 60s,was shown eight times in 2010.

ISBN: 9781851496051300 x 237mm. 520pp. 654col. 178b.&w.£49.50/$95.00 Hardback

A contemporary of Picasso, Matisse and Kandinsky,Goncharova is now recognised as one of the leadingRussian artists of the twentieth century. This book tracesthe development of her art from its impressionist origins,through a provocative phase of 'primitive' style paintings onpeasant themes to highly innovative abstract works thatrivalled the most daring experiments of the Cubists andFuturists. As a woman artist she was galvanized by genderissues and addressed these directly in her work. In both herpaintings and her behaviour she questioned acceptedconventions and scandalized Russian society. Her large-scaleretrospective in Moscow in 1913, in which she exhibitedover 700 works, demonstrated to public and critics alikethat she was, unquestionably, one of the greatest painterlytalents that Russia had ever produced.

This beautiful book is a portrait of two Londons. One isa familiar and majestic capital; the other, a city less wellknown and often taken for granted.David Gentleman's London covers the capital from the

inner city to the outer limits. The traditional sights ofLondon –Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and StPaul's – appear alongside many less familiar splendourssuch as Queen Anne's Gate and Spitalfields, and often inpowerful contrast to the new London that continuesinexorably to develop unchecked around them.
