Thames & Hudson Ltd Sienese Painting
Book SynopsisAn essential visual overview for students and readers with an interest in Sienese art, history and Renaissance culture. For two centuries, the city-republic of Siena was home to a brilliant succession of painters who created some of the greatest masterpieces of all time; an imagery unmatched in colouristic intensity and spatial experimentation. This overview, now revised and updated, is an essential introduction to this extraordinary artistic tradition. Taking a broadly chronological approach, it moves from the 14th-century Siena of Duccio, Simone Martini and the Lorenzetti brothers, to the 15th-century city of Sassetta and Giovanni di Paolo. Perceptive visual analysis of the distinctive styles and conventions of Sienese painting is combined with clear explanations of traditional techniques such as fresco and tempera. The works are also placed in their social and religious context through discussion of Sienaâs system of government, its civic consciousness, the importance ofTrade Review'An unimprovable union of exceptionally acute looking, magical prose and authoritative scholarship … a wonderfully balanced account of a woefully neglected school' - David Ekserdjian, The Times Literary Supplement'Required reading for anyone visiting the city' - The Spectator'A work of enthralled advocacy' - Evening StandardTable of ContentsIntroduction: ’An Art Born Amidst City Streets’: The Image of the City 1.

Thames & Hudson Ltd Forms of Enchantment
Book SynopsisAn anthology of compelling essays by Marina Warner, one of our pre-eminent writers and critics. Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists with a notable focus on the inner lives of women through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas. Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, the author's approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical socia

Nature''s Engraver won the National Arts Writers Award in 2007. Jenny Uglow is the author of, among others, A Gambling Man: Charles II and the Restoration, which was shortlisted for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize, Lunar Men and In These Times.

Manchester University Press After Dada Marta Hegemann and the Cologne
Book SynopsisFocuses on the little known Magical Realist painter Marta Hegemann (1894–1970), re-inserting her into the histories of avant-garde modernismTrade ReviewDorothy Rowe's 'After Dada' redefines our understanding not only of avant-garde activities in Cologne between the wars, but also of the crucial role played by women artists previously given little coverage. Rowe brings to light the careers and works of the, until now, relatively little known Marta Hegemann and Angelika Fick-Hoerle, contextualised within the artistic networks in which they practiced, which included Max Ernst, Anton Räderscheit, August Sandler and Kurt Schwitters. By exploring the major roles played by Hegemann and Fick-Hoerle within this period, Rowe presents a new interpretation of cultural activity during the troubled period between the end of the First World War and the rise of National Socialism. Meticulously researched and convincingly argued, this book will mark a fantastic contribution towards studies in Germany art and culture in the early twentieth century.Mike O'Mahony, Reader in History of Art, University of BristolThe book offers a significant addition to research on Weimar visual culture and will be invaluable to students and specialists in the field."...her wide-ranging analyses of the work of Hegemann and her circle clearly demonstrate that in this instance, orthodox approaches to categorization and classification have led to a host of misconstructions and misrepre-sentations. As such, Dorothy Rowe’s After Dada provides both a worthy appraisal of a neglected artist and a thoughtful and thought-provoking examination of structures of cultural exchange within the Weimar Republic’s avant-garde."(THE KURT SCHWITTERS SOCIETY NEWSLETTER: May 2014) -- .Table of ContentsPrologue: A Not So Still LifeIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisThe railways of Britain were battered and bruised after the First World War. Over 20,000 miles of track were owned and operated by 120 companies, and the government decided the country could no longer support so many inefficient, diverse and, in some cases, overlapping operations. To stem the mounting losses and regulate the system, the 1921 Railways Act, also known as the Grouping Act, became law on 1 January 1923. Just four large companies remained, nicknamed the Big Four': the LMS (London, Midland and Scottish Railway); the LNER (London and North Eastern Railway); the SR (Southern Railway); and the GWR (Great Western Railway). Remembering the Big Four looks back at the Big Four railway companies, 100 years after they were drawn together. Complete with contemporary images of the locomotives inherited and built by each company, it is essential reading for any railway enthusiast.

Vendome Press G Forever Green
Book SynopsisThis stunning volume, superbly produced with a green metallic edge stain, is a testament to the power of green to soothe, inspire, and excite. Green is like water: it is everywhere, and we can’t live without it. Green is the color of nature and the environment. Green is life. Interior designer and style guru Carlos Mota has such a passion for green that he has now devoted an entire book to it. G: Forever Green celebrates the color in all its manifold manifestations: in nature, food, fashion, jewelry, art, interiors, and architecture. From the brilliant markings on a butterfly’s wings to the feathers of a tropical bird’s breast, from Magritte’s oversized apple to the brocade drapery in the background of a Holbein portrait, from a leafy arbor to a leafy wallpaper, from celadon to forest to emerald to acid to lime to Kelly, the variety is astounding. Illustrated with Mota’s own photographs, taken as he has traveled the world, as well as images by prominent photographers, G: Forever Green features rooms by notable designers, among them Kelly Wearstler, Alessandra Branca, Mark D. Sikes, Robert Couturier, Gert Voorjans, and Nicky Haslam. An exuberant celebration of the color green—in nature, art, interiors, and design—this beautiful book is display-worthy and gift-ready.
