The Arts Books
Pindar Press L'art monumental en Normandie et dans l'Europe du
Book SynopsisMaylis Baylé has had the advantage of a dual training in history and the history of art. She is a director of research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Université de Paris I), author of a work on the Romanesque sculpture of Normandy, and an authority in the field of Romanesque monumental art. A method of rigorous analysis that "integrates physical examination and stylistic study has "enabled her to follow the activity and the advances of the workshops of sculptors in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, particularly in Normandy, their links with English art well before 1066, and the importance of Burgundy and the Île-de-France in the transmission of artistic developments. The sculpture of the eleventh century is closely related to the styles of miniature painting and the luxury arts these "rapports are maintained for a long time in Normandy, England and Scandinavia, where they persist well beyond the end of the Romanesque period. These contacts between scriptoria and sculptors, along with an obvious community of styles between the various forms of artistic creation, constitute a recurring 'leitmotiv' through this collection of articles and lead to a new approach to Romanesque art. Another aspect of Maylis Baylé's work relates to "techniques of construction and the history of medieval "architecture, with several points of interest: the artistic revival around the year 1000 and the relations attested then between Normandy, Maine, Anjou, Beauvais and England, and the structure of walls and techniques of vaulting. Monographs of monuments constituting significant stages of this "development, in Normandy, the Loire, Champagne and the Bourbonnais illustrate various aspects of these problems. For some earlier articles, Dr Baylé has added a scientific and bibliographical update.Table of ContentsIntroduction Sculpture préromane et romane: Les chapiteaux de la chapelle Sainte-Paix à Caen Aspects de la sculpture normande autour de 1100: à propos de Graville-Sainte-Honorine La sculpture à Lonlay-l'Abbaye et dans ses prieurés Le décor sculpté de Saint-Georges-de-Boscherville La sculpture du XIe siècle à Jumièges La sculpture dans la Normandie méridionale: à propos d'Autgeuil et de Lonlay-l'Abbaye Interlace Patterns in Norman Romanesque Sculpture Les chapiteaux de Stogursey (Somerset), ancien prieuré de Lonlay-l'abbaye Les ateliers de sculpture dans le Cotentin (1100-1150) Chapiteaux de Saint-Thomas d'Argentan Les ateliers de sculpture de Saint-Etienne de Caen (1066-1120) La sculpture préromane en Normandie Réminiscences Scandinaves dans la sculpture romane de Normandie Frises et dalles sculptées en Normandie Vestiges romans de Saint-Gervais de Rouen L'Adoration des Mages de Saint-Paul de Rouen Saint-Symphorien de Domfront Sculpture et polychromie dans l'art roman de Normandie Place de Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Paris) dans le cheminement des formes au XIe siècle Les sculptures de la rotonde de Dijon La tradition ornementale dans la sculpture romane La sculpture du XIIe siècle à Bayeux Le décor végétal du XIIe siècle en Normandie Architecture: Les monuments juifs de Rouen et l'architecture romane L'influence des italiens dans l'art roman de Normandie: légende ou réalité?

Film and Video Umbrella JerwoodFVU Awards 2015 What Will They See Of Me
Book SynopsisThis publication accompanies the Jerwood/FVU Awards 2015, for which emerging artists Lucy Clout and Marianna Simnett were commissioned to create major new works, in response to a designated theme.The theme, as suggested by the title What Will They See of Me?'', alludes to the pressures (and perils) of visibility in a digital world, where images of the self are routinely circulated and exchanged; but also reflects underlying insecurities about personal identity and, beyond that, wider anxieties about what we might be leaving behind for posterity.With dedicated texts by Steven Bode and an essay by Josh Cohen, the publication probes these ideas and explores the ways in which the theme resonates with the new works by Clout and Simnett.The Jerwood/FVU Awards are a collaboration between Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Film and Video Umbrella (FVU) in association with Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow and University of East London, School of Arts and Digital Industries.

Myrmidon Books Ltd And The Dawn Cane Up Like Thunder
Book SynopsisAnd the Dawn Came Up Like Thunder is the experience of an ordinary soldier captured by the Japanese at Singapore in February 1942. Leo Rawlings' story is told in his own pictures and his own words; a world that is uncompromising, vivid and raw. He pulls no punches. For the first time the cruelty inflicted on the prisoners of war by their own officers is depicted as well as shocking images of POW life. This is truly a view of the River Kwai experience for a 21st Century audience.The new edition includes pictures never before published as well as an extensive new commentary by Dr Nigel Stanley, an expert on Rawlings and the medical problems faced on the Burma Railway. More than just a commentary on the history and terrible facts behind Rawlings' work, it stands on its own as a guide to the hidden lives of the prisoners.Most of the pictures are printed for the first time in colour as the artist intended, bringing new detail and insight to conditions faced by the POWs as they built the infamous death railway, and faced starvation, disease and cruelty.Pictures such as those showing the construction of Tamarkan Bridge, now famed as the prototype for the fictional Bridge on the River Kwai, and those showing the horrendous suffering of the POWs such as King of the Damned have an iconic status. Rawlings' art brings a different perspective to the depiction of the world of the Far East prisoners. For the first time the pictures and original texts are printed in a large format edition, so that their full power can be experienced.The new edition includes an account of how Rawlings' book was published in Japan by Takashi Nagase (well known from Eric Lomax's book The Railway Man) in the early 1980s. Rawlings visited Nagase in 1980 and at last reconciled himself to his experiences as a POW.

Trolley Books Eddy Frankel Blob
Book SynopsisA short story about a man who becomes a blob illustrated by nine British contemporary artists, and written by art critic Eddy Frankel. Blob is part fiction, part art catalogue, part curatorial project. It's about depression, ageing, anxiety, body dysmorphia and erections, but, you know, in a kinda funny way? It's a vile, miserable little short story about a man whose bones disintegrate, published alongside newly commissioned artwork by Rachel Howard, Olivia Sterling, Mary Ramsden, Shadi Al-Atallah, Glen Pudvine, France-Lise McGurn, Emma Cousin, Gareth Cadwallader and Luke Burton. Eddy Frankel, Time Out's art and culture editor, approached a bunch of artists he loves and asked them if they'd be up for making work in reaction to this story he'd written. Was he nervous about sending all these amazing painters what is essentially an incredibly depressing wank joke? Yes. But somehow, they all said yes, and produced stunning paintings and drawings to go along with the story. The works in the book track the physical transformation and emotional degradation of the blob. It starts with Rachel Howard's vision of a man lost in the contemplation of his own bits, before Olivia Sterling goes deep on the blob's relationship with himself and his partner, obsessing over his weight and drinking away the misery as his girlfriend cups his jiggly belly and the material of his bones starts coming out in his semen. Glen Pudvine shows the blob in his fully realised, boneless, horny state, Shadi Al-Atallah depicts him splayed across a hospital corridor with an erection and France Lise McGurn shows the blob losing himself in nothingness. Mary Ramsden abstracts the mundane, everyday misery of his emotions, Gareth Cadwallader shows him as a self-obsessed middle aged man staring at himself in the mirror, and Luke Burton depicts the blob's ultimate nightmare: suburban mediocrity. It all ends with the blobby oblivion of Emma Cousin's three near-formless masses of flesh and goo.

Luath Press Ltd Arts of Independence: The cultural argument and
Book SynopsisThere is only one argument for Scottish independence: the cultural argument. It was there long before North Sea oil was discovered, and it will be here long after the oil has run out… We believe, as teachers, artists, a painter and a poet, both of us travellers in other lands, both of us residents in Scotland, that Scotland should be an independent nation. ALEXANDER MOFFAT AND ALAN RIACHArts of Independence takes a hard look at the most neglected aspect of the argument for Scotland’s distinctive national identity: the arts. The proposition is that music, painting, architecture, and, pre-eminently, literature are the fuel and fire of political change.Following the success of Arts of Resistance, this new work by the same authors takes the argument over Scottish independence out of the hands of politicians and economists and beyond the petty squabbles of party politics.
