Maggi Hambling, James Cahill

War Requiem & Aftermath SIGNED/Inscribed

Unicorn, 2015. First Edition, Softcover. Fine Condition. 9781910065228 Inscribed by Author. SIGNED and dated by Maggi Hambling, and inscribed to the previous owner. First edition, first printing. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. A well-kept copy. This is an almost perfect book, almost as good as seeing the works live. The reproductions are superb with some magnification sufficient to see the brush strokes and more than one view of a work, for example a shot of a group of works, then some focusing on some of the individuals and then a close up of parts of some of them. The notes to the text are placed next to it, in the margins, so much easier than at the foot or at the end. The text is wholly adequate and not too arty/waffley it actually does add to the enjoyment and understanding of the works. It makes you want to see the originals even more and is a great souvenir of them. (Reader review) 160 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; Inscribed by Author. ISBN/EAN: 9781910065228. Inventory No: dscf11100.

Ray Johnson: Selective Inheritance

? University of California Press, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780520296268 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, unmarked jacket. A well-kept copy. Believing that one thing was real only insofar as it corresponded with others, twentieth-century artist Ray Johnson highlighted the connections between himself and other artists including Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Anni Albers, and especially Marcel Duchamp. This study of Johnson through the lens of Duchamp and the other artists who inspired him entails the investigation of hieroglyphs, codes, action figures, queer theory, and cultural history. By examining Johnson’s collage and Correspondence art in relation to his main inspirations, this critical work brings new light to the study of Johnson and to the dynamic networks of artistic inheritance and correspondence of the twentieth century. 268 pages.

Christopher Masters

Windows in Art

Merrell Publishers , 2011. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9781858945545 Bump to top corner of front board, book's contents are clean and bright, slight creasing to top rear edge of jacket. In this engaging new study, Christopher Masters celebrates the multiple roles of the window in ar t through five key themes, from the window as a status symbol to its use as a provider of physical and spiritual illumination; from its employment as a literal window on the world outside the confines of a room to its function as a mirror, reflecting the emotions of the artist or the individuals depicted; and finally to the immense architectural variety of windows that animate interior and exterior scenes throughout Western painting. With superb reproductions of 90 works by major artists from Giotto to Banksy, and spirited analysis of the paintings' meanings, this is a remarkable exploration of an important but hither to neglected subject in art history. 192 pages.

Lelia Packer

Monochrome - Painting in Black and White

National Gallery London, 2017. Softcover. Fine Condition. 9781857096132 Clean unmarked pages, firmly bound, long semi-visible hairline scratch on front cover. Both Lelia Packer and Jennifer Sliwka eloquently present a topic not much touched upon: monochromatic painting accomplished during the past several centuries in the west. They cover a wide thematic range that is well organised by topic and not chronological, the illustrations provided are a feast for the eyes, particularly the works of Mantegna, Jan van Eyck, Ingres, Degas and Richter among others. The approach is scholarly and well documented, each topic is investigated in terms of the Zeitgeist that inspired its development along with frequent references to technique behind each piece, all is written in a succinct and comprehensible manner. Monochrome being rich and varied as a subject the book can be expanded to fill several publications. Coming to the subjective part of this critique, what I most appreciate in this book is the opening of creative possibilities to any artist interested in practising monochromatic art. The two authors regularly refer to the artistic raison d'etre behind many monochromatic paintings, for example contemplating the aesthetics of the subject, its symbolic meaning, psychological states, exploring composition and perception, in other words a whole range of possibilities an artist may explore. Each of these aesthetic approaches is liberating and bears a spiritual character according to the authors, a powerful example is contemporary artist Vija Celmins' beautiful works.(Reader review) 240 pages.
