Publisher’s Note

Last year’s merger with I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd has seen our publications expanding in the directions of contemporary art, art theory, photography, ancient art and Middle-Eastern culture. Our latest list reflects these broadening interests, at the same time including distinguished titles across a range of art history subjects. PWP is always seeking to publish books on subjects previously overlooked or that have not been properly documented, and welcomes proposals from institutions and private collectors alike.

We are excited to be publishing the major catalogue Delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum. This exquisitely illustrated book is the product of many years of scholarship from its author. This year has also seen high-profile partnerships come to fruition with the German publishers Verlag C.H. Beck (Franz Marc: The Complete Works) and Orfeus Publishing in Norway (Edvard Munch: The Complete Graphic Works). These titles will remain standard reference works on the artists for many years to come.

Our association with Dulwich Picture Gallery continues with a study of the works by Murillo in the collection there, along with Whistler’s Bridge: Battersea Bridge in the Art of Whistler. New territory is being charted with an overview of the career of the influential contemporary sculptor Garth Evans, and we publish the first introduction to the work of key German Expressionist Emil Nolde in English. The correspondence of Edward James is a landmark publication and carries much previously unseen material of huge cultural value.

Also forthcoming is All in Good Time, the autobiography of George Daniels, considered the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century, and author of our best-selling Watchmaking.

Edvard Munch’s graphic works have enthralled viewers for over a century with their powerful imagery and virtuosity of execution.

This new edition of the catalogue raisonné which is re-issued in a larger page format has been fully revised by the author to take account of new findings since the first edition of 2001. All of the 748 registered prints are illustrated, many in colour, and new colour illustrations of the hectographs are now included together with a valuable visual index of all of the works.

The text, which is updated throughout, gives extensive details about technique, editions, states, versions, reprints and the location of impressions in public collections; Munch’s total output amounts to between 20,000 and 25,000 print impressions. New information about the kinds of paper used for some impressions is now provided and the description of impressions has been augmented where new information has appeared in auction sale catalogues, exhibition catalogues and the catalogues of public and private collections published since the 2001 edition. Among these are the catalogues of Munch’s graphic work in the Kupferstchkabinett, Berlin (2003) and in the Hamburger Kunsthalle (2006), as well as the catalogue to the exhibition at the National Gallery, Washington (2010), all of which have provided new information. Several museums with extensive collections of Munch’s prints have made information of their holdings available on their websites which has assisted the author in her updating. A visit to a private collection in Germany has revealed some interesting new states and impressions as has the publication of two Norwegian collections. References to museum holdings have been fully updated, as have references to painted versions of similar subjects. The bibliography and list of exhibitions are considerably extended and brought up to date.

The author’s extensive research and the enormous attention to detail in the individual entries ensures that this remains the essential reference work for print professionals as well being a magnificently illustrated book for anyone interested in the art of Edvard Munch.

Gerd Woll is a former senior curator

of prints and drawings at the Munch-

museet. Active as an art critic in the early

seventies, Woll achieved her degree

in art history with a thesis on Munch’s

‘Worker’s Frieze’. She has presented

this theme in several exhibitions and

catalogues, both in Norway and abroad.

Her main interest is in prints and

drawings, and she has organised a vast

number of print exhibitions, and has

written numerous catalogue essays on

Munch’s graphic works.

Edvard MunchThe Complete Graphic WorksGerd Woll Revised, updated and expanded edition

Munch’s striking and emotive graphic works have fascinated people all over the world for more than a century. He arranged a number of exhibitions of his prints in his lifetime, and was represented in many print rooms and important private collections in Europe before World War II. Since then his fame and infl uence on subsequent image-making have grown and grown. When he died in 1944 Munch bequeathed his own vast collection of some 17,000 print impressions, from a total output that amounted to between 20,000 and 25,000, to the City of Oslo. In 1963, the Munch Museum opened its doors to the public, and since then Munch’s prints have been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide.

This catalogue raisonné gives complete details about technique, editions, states, versions, reprints, and where to fi nd the many surviving lithographic stones, wood blocks and metal plates in the Munch Museum. There are photographs of all the 748 registered prints (many in colour), mak-ing it an indispensable tool for professionals, but also a splendid art book for anyone fascinated by Edvard Munch’s pioneering contribution to the art of printmaking. There are also some images which have never been published before, plus an extremely useful thumbnail gallery of all the works. Gerd Woll’s extensive research and the enormous attention to detail in the individual entries will ensure that this beautifully illustrated volume remains the standard work on the subject for many years to come.

Gerd Woll b. 1939

Senior Curator of the Munch Museum until 2010 and Curator of prints and drawings between 1973–2001. Woll has published countless essays and catalogues that deal with Munch’s prints. In 2001 she completed a catalogue raisonné of the prints, Edvard Munch. The Complete Graphic Works (Philip Wilson Publishers, London). The topic of her Masters thesis at the University of Oslo – Munch’s Workers Frieze – was later explored in several catalogue essays and exhibitions, the most comprehensive of which was Edvard Munch – Monumental Projects 1909–1930 (Lillehammer Art Museum 1993). From 2003 onwards she was responsible for the Catalogue Raisonné project at the Munch-museet, which in 2008/2009 resulted in the four volume tome Edvard Munch. Complete Paintings (Thames & Hudson, London). Since 2009 until the present day she has been working on this new edition of the complete cata-logue of Munch’s prints, which is published in Norwegian by Orfeus Publishing (Oslo) and in English by Orfeus/Philip Wilson Publishers in London. Woll became Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 2010.

Edvard Munch: The Complete Graphic Works


Murillo

The paintings of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1618–1682), which depict women and children of the artist’s world, constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times. These lively, realist portraits of flower girls, street urchins and beggars on the streets of Seville reveal Murillo’s broad scope and adaptability to the requirements of his patron (Don Justino de Neve, a canon of Seville Cathedral). Taking Dulwich’s excellent collection of masterpieces as a starting point, this book illustrates the influence that Murillo had on artists such as Thomas Gainsborough, whose ‘fancy pictures’ show a clear affinity with Murillo’s paintings of children. Xavier Bray here couples sumptuous illustrations of the gallery’s works with examinations of attribution and technique, at the same time providing reproductions of other Murillo paintings to put the master’s enduring art into an historical and social context.

Also included in this survey are the religious works at Dulwich that are by Murillo or associated with him, as well as those that were thought by the founders of the gallery to be by his hand, but which are now known to not be. The works related to Murillo at Dulwich, whether religious, secular, public or private commissions, demonstrate the full range of his artistic powers. Recent conservation and scientific analysis of many of the works allow us to look afresh at these paintings.

The book also explains that Dulwich was the first purpose-built gallery in Britain, and how it was seminal in collecting works by Murillo. It was Dulwich’s collection of Murillos that promoted his reputation and enabled artists such as Gainsborough to soak up his influence.

Murillo


Whistler’s Bridge

In the 1860s and 1870s Whistler produced a body of work (paintings, prints and drawings) based on Battersea Bridge. Pivotal to his career, this beautiful group permits a detailed examination of his approach to composition, subject and technique.The very early paintings, notably Brown and Silver: Old Battersea Bridge (Addison Collection), produced soon after his arrival in London, mark one of his most profound and successful challenges to the art establishment of the time and his influence on the aesthetics of the day.

The one hundred and sixty illustrations here reproduced facilitate juxtaposi-tions of paintings against prints and drawings of the Thames to reveal his artistic development allowing a detailed study of the evolution of an artist. They show the Thames in particular under dramatically different climatic conditions from Chelsea on Ice (a rarely seen work of 1864 in a private collection) to the noted Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Cremorne Lights (1871–72) depicting the deep blue of warm summer evenings.

The Nocturnes of the 1870s mark an important breakthrough in Whistler’s art – his passage from French realism to sophisticated harmony, based on mood and atmosphere, but still rooted in a literal rendering of the Thames waterside. The famous Blue and Gold – Old Battersea Bridge is the culmination of his bridge paintings; here the influence of Japanese prints already visible in the Addison painting reached its fullest form.

This comprehensive and handsomely illustrated study presents the definitive examples of Whistler’s radical new aesthetic approach to the time honoured subject of the city and river. In addition the works illustrate and bring to life Whistler’s world, the personalities, the architecture, the style, the atmosphere which informs his art and root this American cosmopolitan securely in the ranks of noted artists inspired by London and the Thames.

Garth Evans Sculpture

Garth Evans is a sculptor as capable of evoking intimacy and simplicity as he is of dealing with the monumental and the timeless. This complete survey of his unique career is long overdue, and reveals a wealth of innovative and powerful work, much of it previously unseen in print. As narratives of British sculpture are reconsidered, Evans is emerging as one of the most creative and influential artists to bridge the generation of Antony Caro and Philip King with that of Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Antony Gormley, Alison Wilding and Bill Woodrow. This investigation into Evans’s hugely varied, visually eventful and challenging practice explores connections across geographies and timeframes as well as contextualizing major changes and new departures in his work.

Garth Evans was born in Manchester in 1934 and settled in the USA at the midpoint of his career. He has exhibited widely in Europe and America since the early 1960s, and his work is represented in major public and private collections in Australia, Brazil, Portugal, USA and UK (including the Arts Council Collection, Leeds City Art Galleries, the British Museum, the V&A and Tate). Evans has been the recipient of numerous awards as well as holding a number of distinguished teaching positions. Since 1988, he has taught at the Studio School in New York City where he is head of sculpture.

The Sculpture of Ivor Roberts-Jones

Ivor Roberts Jones (1913–1996) was one of the finest sculptors working in Britain during the twentieth century. This book is the first in-depth study of this compelling artist who was responsible for the magisterial statue of Sir Winston Churchill, unveiled in November 1973, which dominates Parliament Square in London. It incorporates a wealth of new research and never before published imagery of the artist’s fascinating and wide-ranging output, includ-ing his numerous major public works such as a haunting figure of controversial painter Augustus John in Fordingbridge, Hampshire (1967), doomed First World War poet Rupert Brooke (Rugby, 1988) and memorials to two British military titans of the Second World War situated in Whitehall: Field Marshal Sir William ‘Bill’ Slim (unveiled in 1990) – architect of victory in the gruelling Burma campaign and Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke (unveiled in 1993), the master strategist who prevented many of Churchill’s more unrealistic schemes from being implemented.

The book will also provide the first detailed examination of Roberts-Jones’s standing as one of Britain’s greatest portrait sculptors to whom an array of impressive personalities sat ranging from musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, actors (Hugh Griffiths), writers (Saunders Lewis), politicians (Speaker of the House of Commons, George Thomas) and opera singers (Sir Geraint Evans). Finally it explores his significant achievement as a sculptor of wild animals and his lifelong fascination with the depiction of the blind and visually impaired.

The Picker House is a remarkable late 1960s modernist home specifically designed to accommodate a superb collection of modern and contemporary painting and sculpture. Situated on the outskirts of London, in Kingston upon Thames, it is a rare surviving example of a spacious and progressive late modern house and garden that remains largely unaltered. Designed by the British modernist architect Kenneth Wood in 1965, it still retains its period interior décor, contemporary furnishings acquired through Terence Conran’s two design firms, Conran Design Group and Conran Contracts, and the distinctive art collection of its owner – including works by Chagall, Frink, Hepworth, Lowry, Rodin and many more – which was an integral part of its conception. Based on previously unpublished material and photographs, this heavily illustrated publication brings together leading researchers in their respective fields who chart the history of the house and its collections.

Picker was a New York-born cosmetic manufacturer who settled in London in 1936. He made his wealth in the 1960s through Gala Cosmetics, launching the new make-up brands Miners, Outdoor Girl and Mary Quant. This book offers a complete investigation into the architecture and design of the Picker House, its interior furnishings and décor, its Japanese-inspired landscaped garden and Picker’s significant modern and contemporary art collection of paintings, drawings and prints and sculpture. It concludes with a glimpse of the ongoing life of the collection and of Picker’s Fellowship legacy through the recent work of artist Elizabeth Price and designer Ab Rogers, amongst others.

The Complete Correspondence of Edward James

Edward James, poet, patron, collector and artist-designer, was born in the Edwardian era into a wealthy family of Scottish ancestry and American money. He led an extraordinary life, travelling constantly, moving between European and American high society and artistic, musical and theatrical worlds and build-ing up one of the greatest collections of surrealist art. During his lifetime he was best-known for both his wealth, and the imaginative uses to which he put it, which included signing Salvador Dalí to an exclusive contract during his best, surrealist period, subsidising innovative ballets and performances of modernist music and constructing a surreal Garden of Eden in the Mexican jungle. Edward James also wrote poetry and novels; at their one meeting in 1936, Federico Garcia Lorca christened him the ‘humming bird poet’.

Since his death in 1984, Edward James has gradually been revealed to have been a prolific letter writer, leaving to posterity an archive which contains over 100,000 pieces of correspondence with some of the most interesting artistic personalities of the age. His correspondence includes important exchanges with Kurt Weill, Francis Poulenc and Igor Stravinsky, as well as with his close friend the aristocrat, fellow patron and friend of Proust, Marie-Laure de Noailles. He was one of the first to publish the poetry of John Betjeman, and in 1936 was briefly proprietor and editor of the Paris journal Minotaure, an episode illuminated with letters between James and Albert Skira. Throughout his life he had particularly close relationships with Salvador Dalí, René Magritte and Leonora Carrington.

The correspondence is unusually complete because James kept copies of his replies. This allows the reader to follow the complete history of his often tumultuous relationships with the artists through their most fruitful periods as well as famous episodes such as the construction of the Dream of Venus pavilion, designed by Dalí and overseen by James, for the New York World’s Fair in 1939. There are reproductions of some of the most visually spectacular pages from the letters by Dalí and Magritte. The original text with translations are on the accompanying DVD which contains the majority of Edward James’ archival material.

Emil Nolde

The celebrated German Expressionist, Emil Nolde (1867–1956), created vivid and passionate oils and watercolours. Often incorporating vibrant colours and elements of fantasy, these paintings quickly imprint themselves on the viewer’s mind. His graphic works, especially his etchings, have a delicacy and original-ity distinguishing them from those of his contemporaries. This introduction to his work sets him in his time and place for readers unfamiliar with his oeuvre. Averil King’s perceptive and wide-ranging text investigates the themes that preoccupied the man and the influences that shaped his art.

Known for his flamboyant use of colour, Nolde’s paintings were rejected by the Berlin Secession and reviled by Hitler and the National Socialists. He was born into a farming community on the borders of Germany and Denmark, situated between the North Sea and the Baltic. Although widely travelled, he chose to live and work here for most of his life. Many of his highly expressive land-scapes, with their large cloud formations and dramatic sunsets, were inspired by the area’s stormy, windswept countryside. He also painted flowers, religious subjects, night-time scenes in Berlin, still lifes, portraits and a series of striking seascapes. Nolde’s talents were not limited to painting: he was an accomplished print-maker, producing woodcuts, etchings and lithographs with an individual character.

This beautifully illustrated book displays many pivotal examples of Nolde’s evocative and timeless pieces. As the first introduction to his work in English, it is essential reading for those new to Nolde’s work and German Expressionism and enthusiasts alike.

Averil King’s special area of interest

is the art of northern Europe and

Russia in the nineteenth and twentieth

centuries. She has also written about

the Russian landscape painter Isaak

Levitan, friend of Chekhov (3rd edition,

2011), and the innovative Bremen artist

Paula Modersohn-Becker. She is a

regular contributor to Apollo, The Art

Newspaper and Country Life.

Franz Marc

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was a leading member of the Blue Rider group which also included the painters Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alexej Jawlensky. The group marked the high point of German Expressionism and has had a profound influence on international art and culture since.

The third and final volume of this catalogue raisonné includes, along with other material, Marc’s thirty-two sketchbooks, which contain the many hundreds of drawings he made – some autonomous, some studies for other work – which together provide profound and intriguing insights into his art. The entries total more than a thousand sketchbook pages, of which over half are reproduced here for the first time, all in full colour. Many – in particular the famous colourful sheets from his mature years – have been separated from the sketchbooks and are here reunited with details of provenance and present location.

The catalogue also contains illustrated entries for his forty-seven prints – the early etchings and lithographs, and the well-known later woodcuts, each entry detailing medium, printer, impressions and, for sheets in museum collections, provenance and location. The individual sections within the catalogue are prefaced with introductory texts that explain the authors’ methodology in cataloguing the work. The volume concludes with concordances, a glossary of terms, a bibliography a complete index.

Franz Marc The Complete Works

Sketchbooks and Prints

Annegret Hoberg and Isabelle Jansen

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most impor-tant members of the Blue Rider group, together with other outstanding artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point in Ger-man Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.

This third and final volume of the full-colour cata-logue raisonné of Franz Marc covers all the artist’s sketchbooks and prints. The thirty-three sketchbooks have been reconstructed and the leaves presented in their original sequence, including more than 750 new entries taken from the individual folios. The new cata-logue on Marc’s prints provides an exhaustive docu-mentation of the various editions of the well-known woodcuts in particular. As in the first two volumes, the chronology of works has been fundamentally re-vised and brought up to date in line with the most re-cent research. Together with those two other volumes, the paintings (vol. I), and the watercolours, gouaches, drawings and postcards (vol. II), this book now makes Franz Marc’s complete œuvre accessible to the general public in a form that has never been available before. In doing so it represents the standard work for lovers of art, scholars and collectors alike, giving many fresh insights into this remarkable figure.

The Practical Watch EscapementGeorge Daniels

One of George Daniels’s central contributions to horology is his co-axial escapement. Observing over many years that the dominant lever escapement begins to change its rate after a year or two – a disturbance undoubtedly caused by the sliding action of the impulse elements of the escapement – Daniels set about developing a mechanism that avoided this problem. The result of his ef-forts was the co-axial escapement, a mechanism in which he sought to combine the strengths and eliminate the deficiencies of existing watch escapements, the lever escapement foremost among them. First devised in 1977, today it remains largely the same as fitted in watches of Daniels’s own manufacture, as well as those of several wrist-watch manufacturers. This book explains the action of the escapement in terms accessible to both expert and layman, and is accompanied by a series of detailed line drawings.

All in Good Time is the remarkable story of George Daniels (1926–2011), the master mechanic, who was born into poverty but raised himself to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century. Daniels stands alone in modern times as the inventor of the revolutionary co-axial escapement, the first substantial advance in portable mechanical timekeeping over the lever escapement, which has dominated ever since its invention in 1759.

Daniels’s love of mechanics embraced not only the minute, however – he was also a passionate collector and driver of historic motorcars. This revised and expanded edition of his autobiography also contains a new section that illustrates and discusses over thirty of the pocket and wrist watches Daniels himself made over the years. Witness here the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity, matchless skill and singularity of purpose over the most unpromising of beginnings.

Hyperdrawing

HyperdrawingBeyond the Lines of Contemporary ArtTRACEY: Phil Sawdon and Russell Marshall

In Hyperdrawing: Beyond the Lines of Contemporary Art, authors and artists come together to explore the potential of what drawing in contemporary art theory and practice might become.

In this follow-up to 2007’s Drawing Now: Between the Lines of Contemporary Art, Phil Sawdon and Russell Marshall, two of the current directors of TRACEY, curate contemporary drawing within fine art practice from 2006 through to 2010. Four essays and many images from thirty-three artists from around the world collectively explore the boundaries of the hyperdrawing space, investigat-ing in essence what lies beyond drawing – images that use traditional materials or subjects whilst also pushing beyond the traditional, employing sound, light, time, space and technology.

Over and above traditional views and practices, the authors and artists in this book recognise and embrace the opportunities inherent in the essential am-biguity of drawing. Practitioners of hyperreal works, 2D 3D 4D pieces and installations that push beyond photorealism all find their place within this new conception of hyperdrawing as techné, a productive space no longer limited by spatial boundaries. Artists including Catherine Bertola, Layla Curtis, Garrett Phelan, Suzanne Treister and Ulrich Vogl alongside the essays of Emma Cocker, Siún Hanrahan and Marsha Meskimmon provide a contemporary view in both visual and written form of how ambiguity can be used as a strategic approach in drawing research and practice.

A gallery in book form, Hyperdrawing takes drawing beyond the interaction of pencil and paper and traces contemporary adventures in multiple dimensions and alternate realities.

The Photobook

The PhotobookFrom Talbot to Ruscha and BeyondEditors: Patrizia Di Bello, Colette Wilson and Shamoon Zamir

The photograph found a home in the book before it won for itself a place on the gallery wall. Only a few years after the birth of photography, the publication of Henry Fox Talbot’s The Pencil of Nature heralded a new genre in the history of the book, one in which the photograph was the primary vehicle of expression and communication, and stood in equal if sometimes conflicted partnership with the written word.

In this book, practicing photographers and writers across several fields of scholarship share a range of fresh approaches to reading the photobook, developing new ways of understanding how meaning is shaped by an image’s interaction with its text and context and engaging with the visual, tactile and interactive experience of the photobook in all its dimensions. Through close studies of individual works, the photobook from fetishised objet d’art to cheaply-printed booklet is explored and its unique creative and cultural contributions celebrated.

Delftware

This complete catalogue of the English and Irish delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, reveals much that is beautiful and unusual. The greater part of the collection was bequeathed by Dr J.W.L. Glaisher in 1928, and much of it is little known. A detailed publication has long been overdue, and 588 items are illustrated here in colour, many with multiple views. The strength of Dr Glaisher’s collection is the English earthenware of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly delftware: no better assemblage has ever been made by a single collector. He amassed objects with great academic rigour over a period of more than thirty years, concentrating particularly on dated pieces while always exercising a discriminating and aesthetical eye.

Michael Archer’s catalogue provides details of date and place of manufacture, size, body, glaze, decoration and provenance with a full discussion where appro-priate. Julia Poole has contributed a fascinating chapter with much new material on Dr Glaisher’s life and the extraordinary breadth of his collecting interests. There is also a general introduction to delftware, including a description of the manufacturing process; further sections give indexes and exhaustive informa-tion on all the works.

This book is an essential addition to the library of all scholars, collectors, auction rooms and dealers in the field and invaluable to those members of the public with an interest in the history of English pottery generally and delftware in particular.

The History of the Squares and Palaces of London


Edwin Beresford Chancellor with an introduction by Philip Davies

The squares of London are amongst its most famous and best loved features. Berkeley Square, Eaton Square, St James’s Square – the names are inextricably linked with the history of London itself. And the great houses of the capital – Buckingham House, Apsley House, Spencer House, to mention but a few – are intimately bound with the story not just of London but of the great families of the land.

Edwin Beresford Chancellor’s two volumes form an absorbing and informa-tive account of the history of two of London’s defining features. First published almost a century ago, these rare works still provide the most comprehensive accounts of their subject in a single volume. Attractively illustrated, with a new introduction by Philip Davies, and handsomely produced in large format, they will be welcomed by all those with an interest in London’s architectural and cultural history.

Edwin Beresford Chancellor (1868–1937)

was a Fellow of the Royal Historical

Society, a Fellow of the Society of

Antiquaries and a Member of the

Council of the London Topographical

Society. Privately educated in Paris and

at Christ Church, Oxford, he wrote many

NEW IN PAPERBACK

In early twentieth-century Toronto, Canada, the first stirrings of a new movement of painting were being felt. A group of artists started to engage with the awesome Canadian wilderness, a landscape previously considered too wild and untamed to inspire true art. Leading the way was Tom Thomson. In little more than three years of electrifying creativity before his premature death in 1917 he formulated an artistic language that captured the unique qualities of the Canadian landscape. Three years later his friends – Lawren Harris, J.E.H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston, Franklin Carmichael and A.Y. Jackson – formed the Group of Seven. They built on Thomson’s legacy to produce a landscape style that to this day influences the way Canadians visualise their country, and their paintings are national icons in Canada.

This book tells of the Group’s collective quest to depict Canada in paint. It recounts their beginnings, the challenges they faced and the remarkable and often extreme journeys they undertook in search of new subject matter. Essays explore the artists’ relationship with the Arctic north, and analyse Thomson’s art through the prism of the prevalent scientific theories of the day. A fresh, European perspective on these Canadians is offered in essays exploring their links with Scandinavian art and European expressionism. Beautifully illustrated with over 120 colour reproductions of their work, and maps indicating the geographical range covered by this selection of paintings, this book offers an insight into the history of this important – yet little-known in Europe – artistic movement.

After Modernist Painting

Painting has often been declared dead since the 1960s and yet it refuses to die. Even the status and continued legitimacy of the medium has been repeatedly placed in question. As such, painting has had to continually redefine its own parameters and re-negotiate for itself a critical position within a broader, more discursive set of discourses. Taking Clement Greenberg’s ‘Modernist Painting’ as a point of departure, After Modernist Painting is both a historical survey and a critical re-evaluation of the contested and contingent nature of the medium of painting over the last fifty years.

Presenting the first critical account of painting, rather than art generally, this book provides a timely exploration of what has remained a persistent and protean medium. Craig Staff focuses on certain developments including the relationship of painting to Conceptual Art and Minimalism, the pronounce-ment of paintings alleged death, its response to Installation Art’s foregrounding of site, how it was able to interpret ideas around appropriation, simulation and hybridity and how today painting can be understood as both imaging and imag-ining the digital. After Modernist Painting is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the themes and issues that have pertained to painting within the context of postmodernism and contemporary artistic practice.

The Stylemakers

In 1920s Paris a new style was born. Turning his back on the curves and embel-lishments of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, iconic interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank allied the linear proportions of late eighteenth-century furniture to a twentieth-century perception, paring down superfluous detail to the essence of classic modernism.

This new style would have been the first manifestation of minimalism and classic modernism had Frank’s ideas not been advocated and practised, long before, by the woman to whom he said he owed more or less everything he knew. This ‘Lady from Chile’ as Cecil Beaton called her, was Eugenia Errázuriz, early patron and lifelong friend of Picasso and Stravinsky.

Although she spent sixty years of her life in Europe, Eugenia Errázuriz was from Chile and came to be part of a truly international group of stylemakers in Paris. A circle of artists, musicians, composers, choreographers, fashion designers, interior designers, writers, patrons of the arts and collectors came together. Avant-garde in every sense of the term, they flouted convention and openly shared their passions artistically, socially and sexually. Prominent in the circle were wealthy South Americans, whose love for the fine French cabinet-makers of the late eighteenth century and willingness to move boldly into the twentieth century, to espouse the new while respecting the best of the past, meant that they made a significant contribution to the success of the classic-modernist style.

The names of those who were part of this charmed circle appear on the cover of this book. Their lives and lifestyle, their interchange of partners and ideas led to innovation in every field of the arts.

Lynda Benglis

Lynda BenglisArt in ContextSusan Richmond

In four decades of abstract art practice, Lynda Benglis has not merely challenged the status quo. She has tied it in knots, melted it down and poured it across the floor, cast it in glass, clay and bronze. Daring and sometimes outrageous, her intense and provocative practice has produced some of the most iconic pieces of art from the late twentieth century.

Richmond gives serious critical attention to work often dismissed as trivial and rootless, recovering the themes that link the different phases of the artist’s quest to capture the ‘frozen gesture’. Whether challenging popular tastes and definitions of art with her 1970s abstract knotwork or mocking puritanical aesthetics of gender with her colourful latex pourings and their allusions to corporeal topographies, Benglis never failed to provoke. Her sculptures commemorate and celebrate the processes of creation themselves, combining architectonic abstraction and feminized sensuality in a haunting, visceral theme of the strangeness of the body that runs through all her experiments in glass, video, metals, ceramics, gold leaf, paper and plastics.

Lynda Benglis: Art in Context examines in depth the work and critical neglect of an artist who, perhaps more than any of her contemporaries, changed the face of American art in the 1960s and 1970s, and continues to fetishise, provoke and demand your attention.

The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture

Modernism in the visual arts has been defined as a liberation from the classical inheritance. The excitement of modern art is often seen to lie in its radical break with the past. But according to one standard narrative, the modern discipline of art history began only with a study of ancient art and sculpture. Johann Joachim Winckelmann’s History of the Art of Antiquity, first published in 1764, set the precedent for the historical study of the visual arts, and is still the dominant method in art history today. The modern study of art and the making of modern art thus appear to be founded on incompatible principles: the one on the centrality of ancient art; the other on its utter repudiation. Elizabeth Prettejohn’s important and revisionist new book starts from an opposite premise: that the modern study of ancient art and the making of modern art are inextricably intertwined. Subjecting Winckelmann’s ideas to astute yet sympathetic critique, the author uses exciting theories of reception to construct a new theory of the relationship between ancient and modern art. Relating seminal ancient artefacts (such as Laocoon, the Parthenon Marbles and Venus de Milo) to modern interpretations by the likes of Alma-Tadema, Leighton, Rodin and Picasso, The Modernity of Ancient Sculpture will have strong appeal to students of art history and classics alike.

Milos Sobaïc

Milos Sobaïc’s work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms – paintings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both paint-ing and sculpture. These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his generation. Like many artists who come from the Balkans, he is a complete cosmopolitan. He has spent a long time living and working in Paris, his residence there the famous Bateau-Lavoir, once inhabited by Picasso, amonst other artists. He also teaches in China, at the Luxun Academy of Arts in Shenyang, and so is in close touch with aesthetic revolution now taking place in Chinese art. Yet he has always been careful to maintain his roots in Serbia and Montenegro – his work has the epic sweep, as well as the passion and darkness, associated with traditional Balkan folktales.

By its very nature, Sobaïc’s work is difficult to classify. It has links to Francis Bacon, to the classical surrealism of Salvador Dalí, and to the romanticism of Gericault. It is constantly preoccupied, as indeed these artists were, with the bond between the sublime and the abject, and with the tragic nature of the human condition. Above all, however, it represents the world in flux, and it is no accident that one of the images he continues to revisit is that of a swimmer cleaving through water.

In this monograph, the first written on the artist in English, Edward Lucie-Smith analyses his work across the diverse media in which it appears, and the major themes with which it is concerned.

Edward Lucie-Smith is an internationally

known art critic and historian, as well as

a poet, anthologist and photographer.

Edvard Munch Prints

Munch was Norway’s greatest artist and one of the founders of the expres-sionist movement. He first made a name for himself as a painter and although he started making prints only after the sensation of his 1892 Berlin exhibition, his graphic work was itself an important influence on twentieth-century art. Munch was inspired by the cycles of etchings by the German artist Max Klinger to create graphic versions of his own innovative psychological imagery, working first in a style related to symbolism and art nouveau to produce both etchings and lithographs. In 1896 in Paris, influenced by Vallotton and Gauguin, he made his first woodcuts. Woodcut provided a relatively simple technique that was ideally suited to Munch’s imagery, in which mood, and therefore colour too, were essential. Prints became an important part of the artist’s output and they were exhibited throughout Europe in his lifetime. Out of a total of 748 prints, the majority are etchings and lithographs, but Munch’s enduring influence came through colour woodcuts such as The Kiss, Melancholy and The Girls on the Bridge. These powerful and important prints inspired a new fascination for woodcut among German expressionist artists, and are among the finest prints of the twentieth century.

This book accompanies an exhibition of Munch’s greatest prints at the Hunt-erian Art Gallery, Glasgow and the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, selected from the unrivalled holdings of the Munch Museum, Oslo. Essays by Peter Black, print curator at the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, and Magne Bruteig, senior curator of the Munch Museum, provide a general introduction to Munch’s prints, illustrating masterpieces in the major techniques used by the artist.

The Sacred Architecture of Byzantium

The Sacred Architecture of Byzantium Art, Liturgy and Symbolism in Early Christian ChurchesNicholas N. Patricios

The churches of the Byzantine era were built to represent heaven on earth. Architecture, art and liturgy were intertwined in them to a degree that has never been replicated elsewhere, and the symbolism of this relationship had deep and profound meanings. Sacred buildings and their spiritual art under-pinned the Eastern liturgical rites, which in turn influenced architectural design and the decoration which accompanied it.

Nicholas N. Patricios here offers a comprehensive survey, from the age of Constantine to the fall of Constantinople, of the nexus between buildings, worship and art. His identification of seven distinct Byzantine church types, based on a close analysis of 370 church building plans, will have considerable appeal to Byzantinists, lay and scholarly. Beyond categorizing and describing the churches themselves, which are richly illustrated with photographs, plans and diagrams, the author interprets the sacred liturgy that took place within these holy buildings, tracing the development of the worship in conjunction with architectural advances made up to the fifteenth century. Focusing on buildings located in twenty-two different locations, this sumptuous book is an essential guide to individual features such as the synthronon, templon and ambo and also to the wider significance of Byzantine art and architecture.

Adolf Loos

Adolf Loos The Art of ArchitectureJoseph Masheck

Widely regarded as one of the most significant prophets of modern architec-ture, Adolf Loos was a celebrity in his own day. His work was emblematic of the turn-of-the-century generation that was torn between the traditional culture of the nineteenth century and the innovative modernism of the twentieth. His essay ‘Ornament and Crime’ equated superfluous ornament and ‘decorative arts’ with tattooing in an attempt to tell modern Europeans that they should know better. But the negation of ornament was supposed to reveal, not negate, good style; and an incorrigible ironist has been taken too literally in denying architecture as a fine art.

Without normalizing his edgy radicality, Masheck argues that Loos’s masterful ‘astylistic architecture’ was an appreciation of tradition and utility and not, as most architectural historians have argued, a mere repudiation of the florid style of the Vienna Secession. Masheck reads Loos as a witty, ironic rhetorician who has all too often been taken at face value. Far from being the anti-architect of the modern era, Masheck’s Loos is ‘an unruly yet integrally canonical artist-architect’. He believed in culture, comfort, intimacy and privacy and advocated the evolution of artful architecture. This is a brilliantly written revisionist reading of a perennially popular architect.

Joseph Masheck, Professor of Art History

Metalwork and Material Culture in the Islamic World

Metalwork and Material Culture in the Islamic WorldArt, Craft and TextEd. Venetia Porter and Mariam Rosser-Owen

The material and visual culture of the Islamic World casts vast arcs through space and time, and encompasses a huge range of artefacts and monuments from the minute to the grandiose, from ceramic pots to the great mosques. Here, Venetia Porter and Mariam Rosser-Owen assemble leading experts in the field to examine both the objects themselves and the ways in which they reflect their historical, cultural and economic contexts.

With a focus on metalwork, this volume includes an important new study of Mosul metalwork and presents recent discoveries in the fields of Fatimid, Mamluk and Qajar metalwork. By examining architecture, ceramics, ivories and textiles, seventeenth-century Iranian painting and contemporary art, the book explores a wide range of artistic production and historical periods from the Umayyad caliphate to the modern Middle East. This rich and detailed volume makes a significant contribution to the fields of art history, architecture and Islamic studies, bringing new objects to light, and shedding new light on old objects.

Venetia Porter is Curator of the Islamic

and Modern Middle Eastern Art

collections at the British Museum. Her

recent publications are Word into Art

(2006), Arabic and Persian Seals and

Amulets in the British Museum (2011),

The Visual World of Muslim India

The Visual World of Muslim IndiaThe Art, Culture and Society of the Deccan in the Early Modern EraLaura E. Parodi

Between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Deccan stood at the crossroads of far-reaching commercial and diplomatic networks. It ranged from Arabia and Iran to East Asia and, increasingly, fell within the orbit of European colonial expansion. This resulted in an immensely rich visual culture in the region, shaped further by the dynamic encounters between the different versions of Islam patronized by the ruling dynasties of the period, and diverse local linguistic, religious and artistic traditions.

This new book is the first richly illustrated and comprehensive exploration of the art of the late medieval and early modern Deccan. It explores the ways in which court art, artefacts and built environments were created and experi-enced, the reasons behind their creation, and the other agencies involved besides and beyond the court. This will be an invaluable resource for all interested in the visual culture of the Islamic world.

Laura E. Parodi is College Lecturer in

Islamic Painting at University College

Dublin, and has taught previously at the

Faculty of Oriental Studies, University

of Oxford. She obtained her PhD in the

History of South- and East-Asian Art at

3,500 years of art and belief in Norfolk

Edited by Andrew M

oore and Margit Thøfner

THE ART OF FAITH

This book celebrates the impact of faith on the art of a region with a long history of migration and diverse patterns of belief. The universality of the theme, along with its clear relevance to the history of one region and its cultural identity, makes this a celebration of more than local importance, with a reach well beyond that of the traditional survey.

Across the centuries, Norfolk has been the home to many and varied faiths. Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Romans all came with their own belief systems. During the Roman period, Christians also settled in this region and eventually – after a period of conflict – Christianity became the official religion. Other religions flourished too. In the middle ages there were thriving Jewish communities in Thetford, Bishops (now Kings) Lynn and Norwich, even though they suffered severe persecution from their Christian fellow citizens. From the fifteenth century onwards, there was a bewildering number of different branches of Christianity throughout the diocese of Norwich, an area significantly larger than the county boundary of Norfolk today.

In this region, the official and uniform religion of Protestant Christianity was only ever a general truth. Amongst others, there were Lollards, Catholics, Calvinists, Laudians, Puritans, Huguenots, Presbyterians and Quakers. Over the past two centuries a new pattern of diversity has emerged. To list but a few of the faiths now practiced by the citizens of Norfolk: there are Sikhs, Muslims, Pagans, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons as well as older and more recently formed communities of Jews and Christians. Intriguingly, the low-lying landscape of this region of Britain can be seen to have had a lasting impact upon the sacred sites of many of these varied faiths.

Benglis has not merely challenged the status quo. She has tied it in knots, melted it down and poured it across the floor, cast it in glass, clay and bronze. This book examines in depth the work and critical neglect of an artist who, perhaps more than any of her contemporaries, changed the face of American art in the 1960s and 1970s, and continues to demand our attention.

Delftware in thefitzwilliam

much that is beautiful and unusual is revealed in this complete catalogue

of English and Irish delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The greater part of the collection was bequeathed by Dr J.W.L. Glaisher in 1928, and much of it is little known. A detailed publication has long been overdue, and here illustrated in full and resplendent colour are 588 items, many with multiple views. The strength of Dr Glaisher’s collection is the English earthenware of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly delftware: no better assemblage has ever been made by a single collector. He amassed objects with great academic rigour over a period of more than thirty years, concentrating particularly on dated pieces while always exercising a discriminating and aesthetical eye.

Michael Archer’s catalogue provides details of date and place of manufacture, size, body, glaze, decoration and provenance with a full discussion where appropriate. Julia Poole has contributed a fascinating chapter with much new material on Dr Glaisher’s life and the extraordinary breadth of his collecting interests. There is also a general introduction to delftware, including a description of the manufacturing process; further sections give indexes and exhaustive information on all the works.


Michael Archer obe, ma, fsa is a former Keeper of the Ceramics Department of the Victoria and Albert Museum where he became the acknowledged expert on English delftware. He has written numerous articles and books on ceramics, culminating in Delftware: the Tin-Glazed Earthenware of the British Isles, a catalogue of the collections in the Victoria and Albert Museum, published in 1997.

The Face of CourageEric Kennington, Portraiture and the

Second World WarJonathan Black

Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. This book, which has received excel-lent reviews, focuses on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War.

Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. His penetrating charcoal and pastel portraits were greatly admired by many of his leading artistic contemporaries including Wyndham Lewis, Stanley Spen-cer, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sargent. His draughtsmanship was also held in high regard by famous contemporaries in many fi elds and he could count as friends such as: T.E. Lawrence; Robert Graves; Siegfried Sassoon; George Bernard Shaw; J.B. Priestley; Kenneth Clark; John Rothenstein; Basil Liddell Hart; Julian Huxley and H.E. Bates.

This is the fi rst book to focus on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War, fi rstly as an offi cial war artist working for Kenneth Clark’s War Artist Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Information and then in a semi-offi cial capac-ity for the Ministry of Labour, the War Offi ce and London Transport. The majority of his drawings were portraits but also included are examples of his attractive landscapes as well as haunting symbolic works – inspired by powerful feelings evoked in wartime and the individuals in uniform he met as a war artist. The book draws upon a rich vein of unpub-lished archival material and documentation while including imagery that has not been reproduced in over half a century as well as works which have never hitherto appeared in colour.Different chapters discuss the fascinating portraits he produced; of sailors who had survived the Battles of the River Plate and of Narvik, of fi ghter pilots who fl ew day and night during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, of tank crews, munitions workers, men of the Home Guard who had already experi-enced the hell of the trenches and of employ-ees of London Transport who had displayed ‘grace under pressure’ during the worst of the bombing in 1940–41. The portraits are ac-companied by an array of enthralling stories of supposedly ordinary men and women who displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and moral courage when confronted by the test of Total War. Kennington’s fre-quently hazardous experiences as a war artist are explored along with his often fractious relations with his employers at the Ministry of Information who were uneasy with his determination to celebrate individual service-men who had killed for their country rather than promote non-combatants and civilian sitters more compatible with an offi cial nar-rative that emphasised the ‘People’s War’ and the value of collective endeavour.

About the Author

Adolf LoosThe Art of Architecture

Joseph Masheck

Masheck reads Loos as a witty, ironic rhetorician who has all too often been taken at face value. Far from being the anti-architect of the modern era, Masheck’s Loos is ‘an unruly yet integrally canonical artist-architect’. This is a brilliantly written revisionist reading of a perennially popular architect.

The third and final volume of the catalogue raisonné contains thirty-two sketchbooks and hundreds of draw-ings. Over one thousand sketchbook pages are catalogued and reproduced for the first time, with details of provenance and present location.



Annegret Hoberg and Isabelle Jansen

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most impor-tant members of the Blue Rider group, together with other outstanding artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point in Ger-man Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.

This third and final volume of the full-colour cata-logue raisonné of Franz Marc covers all the artist’s sketchbooks and prints. The thirty-three sketchbooks have been reconstructed and the leaves presented in their original sequence, including more than 750 new entries taken from the individual folios. The new cata-logue on Marc’s prints provides an exhaustive docu-mentation of the various editions of the well-known woodcuts in particular. As in the first two volumes, the chronology of works has been fundamentally re-vised and brought up to date in line with the most re-cent research. Together with those two other volumes, the paintings (vol. I), and the watercolours, gouaches, drawings and postcards (vol. II), this book now makes Franz Marc’s complete œuvre accessible to the general public in a form that has never been available before. In doing so it represents the standard work for lovers of art, scholars and collectors alike, giving many fresh insights into this remarkable figure.

Since then his fame and infl uence on subsequent image-making have grown and grown. When he died in 1944 Munch bequeathed his own vast collection of some 17,000 print impressions, from a total output that amounted to between 20,000 and 25,000, to the City of Oslo. In 1963, the Munch Museum opened its doors to the public, and since then Munch’s prints have been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide.

This catalogue raisonné gives complete details about technique, editions, states, versions, reprints, and where to fi nd the many surviving lithographic stones, wood blocks and metal plates in the Munch Museum. There are photographs of all the 748 registered prints (many in colour), mak-ing it an indispensable tool for professionals, but also a splendid art book for anyone fascinated by Edvard Munch’s pioneering contribution to the art of printmaking. There are also some images which have never been published before, plus an extremely useful thumbnail gallery of all the works. Gerd Woll’s extensive research and the enormous attention to detail in the individual entries will ensure that this beautifully illustrated volume remains the standard work on the subject for many years to come.

Gerd Woll b. 1939

Senior Curator of the Munch Museum until 2010 and Curator of prints and drawings between 1973–2001. Woll has published countless essays and catalogues that deal with Munch’s prints. In 2001 she completed a catalogue raisonné of the prints, Edvard Munch. The Complete Graphic Works (Philip Wilson Publishers, London). The topic of her Masters thesis at the University of Oslo – Munch’s Workers Frieze – was later explored in several catalogue essays and exhibitions, the most comprehensive of which was Edvard Munch – Monumental Projects 1909–1930 (Lillehammer Art Museum 1993). From 2003 onwards she was responsible for the Catalogue Raisonné project at the Munch-museet, which in 2008/2009 resulted in the four volume tome Edvard Munch. Complete Paintings (Thames & Hudson, London). Since 2009 until the present day she has been working on this new edition of the complete cata-logue of Munch’s prints, which is published in Norwegian by Orfeus Publishing (Oslo) and in English by Orfeus/Philip Wilson Publishers in London. Woll became Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 2010.

The Picker House is a remarkable late 1960s modernist home specifically designed to accommodate a superb collection of modern and contemporary painting and sculpture. Situated on the outskirts of London, in Kingston upon Thames, it is a rare surviving example of a spacious and progressive late modern house and garden that remains largely unaltered. Designed by the British modernist architect Kenneth Wood in 1965, it still retains its period interior décor, contemporary furnishings acquired through Terence Conran’s two design firms, Conran Design Group and Conran Contracts, and the distinctive art collection of its owner – including works by Chagall, Frink, Hepworth, Lowry, Rodin and many more – which was an integral part of its conception. Based on previously unpublished material and photographs, this heavily illustrated publication brings together leading researchers in their respective fields who chart the history of the house and its collections.

Picker was a New York-born cosmetic manufacturer who settled in London in 1936. He made his wealth in the 1960s through Gala Cosmetics, launching the new make-up brands Miners, Outdoor Girl and Mary Quant. This book offers a complete investigation into the architecture and design of the Picker House, its interior furnishings and décor, its Japanese-inspired landscaped garden and Picker’s significant modern and contemporary art collection of paintings, drawings and prints and sculpture. It concludes with a glimpse of the ongoing life of the collection and of Picker’s Fellowship legacy through the recent work of artist Elizabeth Price and designer Ab Rogers, amongst others.

Bohm-Duchen and Esther Leslie

Barbara Loftus’s figurative paintings and works in other media are known for their exploration of the interface between personal memory and historical events. In her cycle of art-works, Sigismund’s Watch, she reflects on the convergence of public and private life in a study of transgenera-tional memory.

SIGISMUND’S WATCH a tiny catastrophe

This cycle of artworks takes its subtitle from the writings of the cultural critic SiegfriedKracauer. The painter Barbara Loftus reflects on the convergence of public and privatelife in this study of transgenerational memory. By means of her paintings, bookworks andarchival material she focuses on a day in the life of her mother Hildegard. Sigismund’sWatch came into being in response to Hildegard’s recollections from early childhood ofthe impact of the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany, which was to change her perceptionof the adult world. With the sudden breaking of her long-held silence in 1995 a doorwas unlocked into the past of a ruined Europe, revealing to her daughter, Barbara, thetraumatic invasion of family life by cataclysmic political events. This account proved tobe but a single page in Hildegard’s story, which her daughter has been exhumingthrough her work since 1995.

Milos Sobaïc’s work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms – paint-ings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both painting and sculpture. These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his generation. Like many artists who come from the Balkans, he is a complete cosmopolitan. He has spent a long time living and working in Paris, his residence there the famous Bateau-Lavoir, once inhab-ited by Picasso, amongst other artists. He also teaches in China, at the Luxun Academy of Arts in Shenyang, and so is in close touch with the aesthetic revolution now taking place in Chinese art. Yet he has always been careful to maintain his roots in Serbia and Montenegro – his work has the epic sweep, as well as the passion and darkness, associated with tradi-tional Balkan folktales.


In this monograph, the first written on the art-ist in English, renowned critic and poet Edward Lucie-Smith analyses his work across the di-verse media in which it appears, and the major themes with which it is concerned.

Edward Lucie-Smith is an internationally known art critic and historian, as well as a poet, anthologist and photographer. He has published more than a hundred books, in-cluding more than sixty titles on art, chiefly about contemporary work. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945, Visual Arts of the Twentieth Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world. In Britain he was for many years a well-known broadcaster, appearing regu-larly on the BBC arts discussion programme The Critics and its successor Critics’ Forum. He has also written for many leading British newspapers and periodicals.
