Francis Bacon : The Violence of the Real
Thames & Hudson, 2006. 1. Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 305 x 230 mm, in Good condition, dustjacket, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN: 9780500093351
Dramatic depictions of human forms ? writhing painfully, dissolving, wrestling or engulfing one another, seated or in motion ? are ubiquitous in the work of Francis Bacon (1909-1992), one of the most eminent painters of the 20th century. Bacon portrayed the ordeal of the vulnerable, defencelessly exposed body like no other artist of his generation. His individuals are usually alone, isolated from their surroundings, trapped in empty, windowless rooms or behind the bars of cages. Bacon?s figures act on stage-like platforms, doubled over in torment, sliding into formlessness. By wiping, scratching and erasures, Bacon converted the picture surface into a field of perpetual activity ? and in the process, created images of great forcefulness, sensibility and beauty. Bacon found his models not only in the history of art, but also in photographs of athletes, soccer players, or boxers in combat. He also betrayed a strong interest in the photographic sequences through which Eadweard Muybridge, in the later 19th century, registered the phases of a path of animal movement. Such instinctively performed motions disclosed to Bacon actions of an original sensuality which he strove to capture in his pictures.

John Brett : Pre-Raphaelite Landscape Painter
Yale University Press, 2010. 1. Hardcover, 276 pages, ENG. edition, 290 x 250 x 25 mm, In Very Good Condition, illustrated dustjacket, with illustrations in color / b/w. ISBN: 9780300165753
Drawing on a wealth of unpublished sketchbooks, journals, and writings, this essential guide to John Brett (1831?1902) investigates the painter who was seen as the leader of the Pre-Raphaelite landscape school. In addition to exploring the familiar early works, including The Val d'Aosta and Stonebreaker, it provides rich information on his later, less-known coastal and marine paintings. Brett?s turbulent friendship with John Ruskin is discussed, as are his relations with his beloved sister, Rosa, and his partner Mary, with whom he had seven children. His fervent interest in astronomy, his love of the sea, and his lifelong pursuit of wealth and recognition are all examined in this reassessment, which concludes with a catalogue raisonné of his works, prepared by his descendent Charles Brett.

COLOUR REVOLUTION Victorian Art, Fashion & Design
Acc Art Books, 2023. 1. Paperback, 256 pages, ENG. edition, 280 x 220 x 20 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour. ISBN: 9781910807576
Britain's industrial age is often perceived through a black-and-white filter as the 'funereal' age of coal pollution and bleak working class slums. This catalogue will dispel that perception, demonstrating how the industrial revolution transformed colour, and focus on the central role it played in art, culture and technology As opposed to approaches favouring a long history of colour, the catalogue focuses on the second half of the 19th century and argues that this was a crucial chromatic turn, which has been significantly ignored by prominent historians of colour and previous publications Several essays in the catalogue offer new research into key chromatic events of the period including the 1862 International Exhibition Accompanies an exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum from 21 September 2023 to 18 February 2024 Contrary to the monochrome vision of Queen Victoria's mourning dresses and the coal-polluted streets of Charles Dickens' London, Victorian Britain was, in fact, a period of new and vivid colours. The Industrial Revolution had transformed the Victorians' perception of colour and, over the course of the second half of the 19th century, it became the key signifier of modern life. Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design charts the Victorians' new attitudes to colour through a multidisciplinary exploration of culture, technology, art and literature. The catalogue explores key 'chromatic' moments that inspired Victorian artists and writers to think anew about the materiality of colour. Rebelling against the bleakness of the industrial present, these figures learned from the sacred colours of the past, the sumptuous colours of the Middle East and Japan and looked forward towards the decadent colours that defined the end of the century.

Cy Twombly : Photographs 1951-2007
Schirmer Mosel, 2008. 2de. Hardcover, 261 pages , ENG / GER, 330 x 255 x 35 mm, dustjacket, as New / wie Neu, illustrated in colours / illustrationen in Farbe. ISBN: 9783829603683
Ever since his student days, Cy Twombly has concerned himself with photography, but only in recent years has he turned it into a unique artistic concept- and an aesthetic sensation. Twombly's photographic pieces are documents of a fascinatingly enigmatic and personal poetry. His studios in Lexington and Gaeta, details of his own sculptures and collected sculptural items, landscape motifs, fruits and flowers appear in a mysteriously transformed manner on these delicate sheets. Printed in matte colors on matte paper using a dry-print process that imbues them with velvet and an almost grainy hue, the images are vaguely reminiscent of the pictorialist tradition in fin de siecle photography. In their minimalist way, however, generating aesthetic visions by the simplest of means, they are utterly contemporary. 'Photographs 1951-2007' presents Twombly's photographic works of over fifty years- full of surprises and breathtaking beauty.

DAVID HOCKNEY : Normandy Portraits
National Portrait Gallery (Thames), 2023. 1. Hardcover, 48 pages, ENG., edition, 275 x 220 mm, full page illustrated coloured portaits. ISBN: 9781855145870
David Hockney: Normandy Portraits accompanies a major exhibition on David Hockney at the National Portrait Gallery, London. It reveals new portraits painted in Hockney's Normandy Studio between 2020 and 2022. David Hockney: Normandy Portraits illustrates around 40 acrylic on canvas works painted by Hockney at his Normandy studio - depicting his friends and visitors, as well as the artist himself. This image-led book product will showcase a series of some previously unseen portraits, through 48 pages, uninterrupted by text, to allow readers to engage directly with the artworks. These works highlight the ongoing importance of portraiture within the artist's practice and demonstrate his sentiment that 'drawings and paintings . are a lot better than photographs to give you a sense of the person'. Hockney returned to painting after an intensive period spent depicting the Normandy landscape using an iPad. The portraits were painted quickly and directly onto the canvas without under drawing. As Hockney has said 'to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction'.

Nicolas Lanier (1588 - 1666) : A Portrait Revealed
The Weiss Gallery, 2010. 1. Paperback, 107 pages, ENG., 305 x 250 x 10 mm, NEW condition ! illustrated in colour / b/w, in a sturdy case. ISBN: X
The various essays in this book, which commences with a concise synopsis of Lanier's life by his biographer Michael Wilson, offer many differing and fascinating insights and interpretations of one of the most remarkable paintings ever to be produced in Jacobean England. For an English portrait dated 1613, it is truly without precedent both in its quality and composition and for the window that it opens upon the culture and connoisseurship of the day. Both Sir Roy Strong and Dr Duncan Thomson in their respective essays propose alternative attributions, but as yet a question mark must still remain as to the painting's authorship. Thomson also discusses Lanier's surprisingly extensive iconography, which convincingly confirms the identification that was perceptively first proposed for our portrait by the late Sir Oliver Millar. Further essays by Jeremy Woods, Tim Wilks and Benjamin Hebbert explore the intriguing ancillary elements that give this painting so much of its extraordinary allure, whilst the respective essays of Peter Walls and Katherine Ara explain Lanier's influence on Jacobean court music and the actual painting's techincal construction and preservation.

Without Hands - The Art of Sarah Biffin
Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd, 2022. 1. Softcover, 104 pages, ENG. edition, 250 x 195 mm, NEW , illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN: 9781913645366
Overview A celebration of an artist whose under-sung legacy testifies to the enduring power of originality, drive, and devotion. Accompanying an exhibition at Philip Mould & Company, Without Hands presents the art of Sarah Biffin. Biffin (1784-1850) was born with phocomelia, a condition described on her baptism record as "born without arms and legs." After learning to sew and write as a child, Biffin joined a traveling sideshow where she painted in front of an audience. Eventually, she rose to fame as a talented miniaturist, signing many of her works "without hands." Despite her prolific output, including commissions from royalty and exquisitely detailed self-portraits, Biffin's work has been overlooked by art historians. Beautifully illustrated and including original research, Without Hands celebrates Biffin as an artist who challenged contemporary attitudes to disability.

Sean Scully : Paintings, Pastels, Watercolors, Photographs 1990 to 2000
Richter Verlag, 2001. 2 ed.. Hardcover, 272 pages, ENG, 300 x 240 x 30 mm, dustjacket, As New, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN: 9783933807359
The Irish-born artist Sean Scully has created a painterly oeuvre that, in this volume, reveals itself as vitally important in the ongoing dialogue about painting. Horizontal and vertical stripes are the sole motif in his work. He alternately groups strips of paint together and lays multiple stripes of color over one another, which produce visually irritating clashes. It is a working method that is revealed in the works themselves, in the places where these dueling lines meet; edges tell the story of process. The seemingly endless number of neutral stripes leave these paintings open to a variety of interpretations; they allow the viewers freedom to imprint their own visions on them. Usually in a large format, they recall landscapes, facades, buildings, and ornaments. Along with 254 color reproductions, this book includes a complete biography, several critical essays, and an illuminating interview with the artist. Sean Scully was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1945. Since moving to the United States in the mid-1970s, Scully has taught at major institutions including Princeton University, received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and been the subject of a major touring exhibition organized by the High Museum in Atlanta in 1996. He is represented in virtually every major public collection of 20th-century art.

Inner : The Collected Writings and Selected Interviews of Sean Scully

Sean Scully (born 1945) is among the greatest abstract painters of our age. He is also one of the most outspoken. Since the late 1960s, Scully's visual expressiveness has been matched by a verbal dynamism that is no less arresting than his art. Varying widely in form from brief reflections to essay-length meditations on artists such as Van Gogh, Morandi and Rothko, Scully's writings are distinguished by a brutal lyricism and an effortlessly aphoristic turn of phrase. The nearly 200 texts that comprise this collection provide a unique perspective on one of the most engaging artistic imaginations of the past half-century. Here, readers will discover the effusions of a mind tirelessly wrestling with the profoundest issues of art, cultural history and what it means to be a creator in the contemporary world. The texts are illustrated by images including facsimile reproductions of handwritten pages which also feature drawings.

CY TWOMBLY DRAWINGS : CATALOGUE RAISONNE VOLUME 2 (1956-1960)
SCHIRMER MOSEL, 2012. 1. Hardcover, 308 pages, ENG, 350 x 260 x 40 mm, dustjacket, NEW condition !!, illustrated in colours. ISBN: 9783829604864
Volume 2 of "Cy Twombly Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings" covers the very fruitful years between 1956 and 1960. Still a resident of New York in 1956, Twombly moves to Italy in early 1957 where he will stay, with intervals, until the end of his life. His first shows in Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome, Galleria del Cavallino, Venice, and Galleria del Naviglio, Milan, make him well-known in European avant-garde circles. In the summer of 1959 he rents an apartment in the village of Sperlonga at the Tyrrhenian Sea between Rome and Naples. Here he creates his sequence "Poems to the Sea" influenced by Mallarmé's poetry. The year 1959 is also marked by the artist's marriage and the birth of his son Alessandro in December. His work is increasingly dealing with color, yielding most beautiful colored drawings. The influence of street graffiti, too, is evident in his work incorporating explicit sexual allusions and jokes. At the end of 1960 Cy Twombly has his first solo exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York.

Sisley
Phaidon, 2004. 1. Softcover, 240 pages, Texte en Francais, Tres belle exemplaire, 290 x 250 x 22 mm, illustrations en couleur / n/b. ISBN: 9780714894119
Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) fut l'un des plus grands peintres de paysages du XIXe siècle et l'un des chefs de file du mouvement impressionniste. Cette monographie détaillée fournit des informations inédites sur sa vie et son oeuvre. Accompagné de nombreuses reproductions de ses peintures, le texte révèle l'?uvre d'un artiste original à la puissance indéniable. Sisley a consacré toute sa production aux paysages. Ses célèbres peintures des villes de la banlieue parisienne sous la neige, des inondations de la Seine à Port-Marly ou des régates sur la Tamise sont remarquables par l'équilibre des tons et l'atmosphère poétique qui s'en dégage, en même temps que par la description précise des sujets représentés. Le critique Kenneth Clark considère d'ailleurs la série des peintures de la Tamise comme l'un des " moments parfaits de l'impressionnisme ". Pourtant, comme le dit de lui son ami Arsène Alexandre : " Sisley a vécu fier et est mort pauvre. " L'?uvre de Sisley n'a été pleinement reconnue qu'après sa mort prématurée et reste encore de nos jours injustement méconnue. Dans cette monographie, Richard Shone, s'appuyant sur sa connaissance de l'Ile-de-France, apporte un nouveau regard et analyse les différentes phases du travail de Sisley. Ses recherches ont mis à jour certains aspects de la vie de l'artiste : sa nationalité anglaise, le début de sa carrière, son combat pour gagner sa vie, l'isolement des dernières années. La vie privée de Sisley apporte en effet un éclairage particulier sur son évolution artistique. Richement illustré, cet ouvrage présente notamment d'importantes séries de peintures jamais publiées auparavant ensemble en aussi grand nombre-les inondations, les paysages sous la neige, l'église de Moret-sur-Loing et la côte galloise. Cet ouvrage propose l'image d'un peintre qui s'est constamment renouvelé, s'est ouvert aux influences et a offert une vision personnelle de la campagne française, aussi forte et séduisante que celle des autres impressionnistes. Le livre de Richard Shone confirme la justesse du jugement de Pissarro pour qui Sisley était " un grand et magnifique artiste ".

It should be like breath on the the surface of a pane of glass."*****. ISBN: 9780300134063
Released in conjunction with a 2008 exhibition. The title paraphrases American artist James McNeill Whistler, who said, "Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the the surface of a pane of glass." Catalog is accompanied by these articles: Painting Softly, An Introduction / Marc Simpson -- Whistler, Modernism, and the Creative Afflatus / Marc Simpson -- George Inness, Softness, and the Vapor Barrier / Leo G. Mazow -- True Illusions in Soft Paintings / Cody Hartley -- Materials for Immateriality / Joyce Hill Stoner -- The "Inaction Painters" and Their Moment / Michael J. Lewis -- Reflections on "The Color of Mood" / Wanda M. Corn. Simply stated, an exquisite book, and one that is worthy of any coffee table or personal library. Through an innovative manner of handling paint, a group of American artists around 1900 created deceptively simple canvases that convey images of shimmering transience, visions suggested rather than delineated. Focusing on this singular aesthetic characteristic, this catalogue explores this painterly phenomenon. This copy was once owned by interior and garden designer Henriette Suhr and carries her bookplate at front.

KERRY JAMES MARSHALL : The Graphic Work
Ludion, 2023. 1. HB, 305 x 240 mm, 256 pages, ENG edition, NEW, dustjacket, illustrated in colours / b/w. ISBN: 9789493039759
Best known as a painter, Kerry James Marshall has also produced a vast graphic oeuvre that has been seldom seen and rarely documented. This catalog raisonné offers the first public account of his graphic work and is also the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole. One of the most important American contemporary artists, Kerry James Marshall is known for artworks that address the 'crisis of under-representation' of the black figure in the pictorial traditions of the Western world, from museums to comic books. His work has been widely celebrated in major museum retrospectives such as Kerry James Marshall: Painting and Other Stuff (Antwerp, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Madrid) in 2014 and Mastry (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles) in 2017, and through numerous awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. An assiduous worker, he spent his youth acquiring time-honored skills of art - drawing and painting, but also wood engraving and printing. By his mid-twenties, he recalls, 'I could paint in egg tempera... I was good at printmaking. I could do woodcuts, etchings, aquatints. I knew all of those techniques.' Most of his prints have been produced not in professional print workshops, but by the artist, working alone in his studio. They range from images the size of postcards to his 50-foot-long, 12 panel woodcut Untitled (1998-99), to iterations of his ongoing magnum opus, Rythm Mastr. And while some have entered prominent museum collections, many exist only in private collections or the artist's archive and are unknown to the public. This catalog raisonné offers the first public account of these important works and the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole.
