deep passion for photography and interior design. His work forges the synergy

between wanderlust and adventure, creating the ultimate visual escape.

he has transformed into a lighthearted, conversation-igniting, joyful brand. His

work’s sense of adventure and escapism has turned him into a household name.

■ Avedon and Warhol are two of

the most famous artists of the

20th century

■ Warhol’s portraits of celebrities

are endlessly reproduced

■ Avedon’s portraits include not

only the rich and famous but also

major political figures

Artists Richard Avedon (1923–2004) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987) came to prominence in a

time of profound change around the world. Amid that political and social upheaval, both men

became renowned for their work, elucidating themes of portraiture, celebrity, gender, politics, and reli-

gion. Avedon brought the personality of the sitter to the forefront, revealing his subjects’ inner selves.

Warhol created portraits and images that were emotionally opaque, glamorous, and impersonal.

Avedon and Warhol knew each other, and each had an abiding belief in the power of the image to

seduce, amuse, and shock. They created original visions of the world around them, becoming two of

the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Michael Bracewell is a British writer and novelist. Ara H. Merjian is associate professor of Italian studies

at New York University. Mark Francis is a director of Gagosian Gallery and former chief curator of the

Gefter is an American author and photography critic. His biography of Sam Wagstaff, Wagstaff: Before

Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894–1986) was the best-

known “amateur” in the history of photography,

famously discovered by the art world and given an exhibi-

tion at MoMA in New York when he was in his late sixties.

He began by recording the pastimes and customs of his

wealthy Parisian milieu, indulging his fascination with

sports and aviation, and throughout his long life he was

never without his camera. His friendships extended to the

superstars of French culture, but he also made thousands

of photographs of his family, wives, and lovers. His work

was irresistibly warm and engaging.

Although known for his black-and-white work,

Lartigue loved color film, experimenting with the

Autochrome process in the teens and twenties and

embracing Ektachrome in the late 1940s. His color work,

reproduced here for the first time, is astonishingly fresh:

the French countryside, the women in his life, famous

friends (Picasso, Fellini), and glimpses from his travels all

come alive in this delightful book.

Martine d’Astier is the director of the Jacques

Henri Lartigue Foundation and a former assistant of

Lartigue’s. Martine Ravache is an art historian and

photography critic.

■ Lawrence Weschler is a widely

a compelling and provocative

young LA Latino artist, and his

encounters in the contemporary

■ Explores issues of cultural

diversity and social justice,

taking the reader from the LA

Chicano community to mansions

of Beverly Hills

Rising young LA artist Ramiro Gomez—born in 1986

in San Bernardino, California, to undocumented

Mexican immigrant parents—bridges the divide between

the wealthy and their usually invisible domestic help

(the nannies, gardeners, housecleaners, and others who

make their lifestyles possible). By inserting images of

these workers into sly pastiches of iconic David Hockney

paintings, subtly doctoring glossy magazine ads, and sub-

versively slotting life-size painted cardboard cutouts into

real-life situations, Gomez provides thought-provoking

social commentary on class divisions.

In a deceptively gentle and entertaining essay,

Lawrence Weschler engages with Gomez and his work,

teasing out threads of meaning and feeling. It’s a fascinat-

ing journey for anyone troubled by questions of social

equity, the chasms between cultures and classes, and the

purposes and possibilities of art.

LA-born Lawrence Weschler is the award-winning author

of Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees

(about Robert Irwin), True to Life (about David Hockney),

Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonders, and Everything That

Rises: A Book of Convergences, among many others. He

lives in New York City.

William Wegman’s postcard paintings

reflect a lifetime of engagement with nar-

rative, perspective, art history, architecture, popular

culture, humor, and philosophy in art. Starting

with one or more vintage postcards, Wegman

constructs scenes that range from intimate interiors

to cosmic vistas, filling audaciously complex spaces

with intriguing incident. Collected together, the

paintings possess the universal, encyclopedic,

and mysterious qualities of their source materials.

In addition to Martin Filler’s introduction, a stellar

group of contributors responds to the work.

William Wegman is a pioneering video artist,

conceptualist, photographer, and painter. He splits

his time between New York City and Maine. Bob

Elliott was formerly half the comedy duo Bob and

Ray. Martin Filler writes about architecture for the

New York Review of Books. Amy Hempel’s The

■ An important work for followers

of modern sculpture

■ Arthur Carter has large

followings from his careers in

investment banking, journalism,

and the arts

Arthur Carter, who has spent much of his life in the

worlds of finance and journalism, is an artist who

has created a range of geometric abstractions and whose

Orthogonal series will certainly have an important place

in the history of sculpture. “Only squares and circles, lines

and ellipses,” he says, “can elegantly explain and simplify

the complex meaning of life.” In this comprehensive

volume on his work, journalist Frank Rich contributes

a biographical foreword and critic Robert C. Morgan

describes Carter’s achievements as an artist, carefully

analyzing his place in the tradition of modern abstract art

and the recent history of sculpture.

Frank Rich has written extensively about politics and

the arts over a long career, most recently at New York

Magazine. He is executive producer of the HBO show

Veep. He lives in New York City. Robert C. Morgan

is an art critic, art historian, curator, poet, and painter.

He has published numerous books on modern and

contemporary art and artists, and he currently teaches at

Pratt Institute. He lives in New York City.

Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The

Obama Administration. While all of these brands

are vastly different, they share at least one thing in com-

mon: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is

one of the new school of influential graphic designers

who combine the power of design, social media, entre-

preneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful

business and way of life.

Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work,

case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos,

and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters,

record covers, logos—and presents the process behind

his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things

We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable

advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much

more goes into design than just what appears on the

page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on

the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the

complete package for the new generation of designers.

Aaron James Draplin is the founder of the Draplin

Design Co., based in Portland, Oregon. He has created

print, identity, and illustration work for Timberline Lodge,

Woolrich, Patagonia, Nike, Mark Maron, and Sasquatch

Festival, among others.

Since its founding in 1916, British Vogue has acted as a cultural barometer, placing fashion in

the context of art, literature, and politics. The magazine has captured the zeitgeist of each

decade—the austerity and optimism that followed two world wars, the swinging London scene of the

sixties, the radical seventies, the image-conscious eighties—and continues to be on the cutting edge

of design and photography.

Decade by decade, Vogue 100 presents the greatest moments in the magazine’s history—the

photography, illustrations, and essays that recorded the fashion and taste of the time. Complete with

essays that detail the rich history of each decade, the book covers the artists, designers, photogra-

phers, and writers who shaped the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond. With more

than 300 photographs of these pivotal

figures—from Matisse to Bacon, Freud to

Hirst, Dietrich to Paltrow, and Schiaparelli

to McQueen—Vogue 100 offers an in-depth

look at a century of Britain’s fashion, art,

and culture.

5 4 5 0 0Oliver Stone is one of the grand masters of American cinema. A

multiple Academy Award–winning screenwriter and director

(Midnight Express, Scarface, Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Snowden),

he is as well known for his outspoken, controversial political beliefs as he

is for his innovative films.

Over the course of five years, Stone and author Matt Zoller Seitz

discussed the arc of Stone’s life and work with extraordinary candor. The

cinematic mastermind shares anecdotes about Vietnam, his childhood,

his struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder, and his continual

struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. Seitz was given unprecedented

access to Stone’s personal archive, and these interviews are accompa-

nied by never-before-seen material that dates back to Stone’s childhood

in the 1950s, including personal snapshots, private correspondence,

annotated script pages and storyboards, and behind-the-scenes pho-

tography. At once a complex analysis of a master director’s vision and a

painfully honest autobiography, The Oliver Stone Experience promises

Alan Turing (1912–1954) was the mathematician credited

with cracking the German Enigma code during World

War II, saving countless lives and speeding the Allied defeat

of the Nazis. Though far from the spotlight, that was merely

Turing’s second act on the world stage: Before the war he

launched modern computer science with his creation of the

universal Turing machine, and for his third act he created an

artificial intelligence test that bears his name and remains the

gold standard. Turing kept his code-breaking work a secret to

safeguard his native England, but didn’t hide his homosexual-

ity, which led to his tragic death at the hands of the country

he sacrificed so much to protect. Jim Ottaviani and Leland

Purvis reveal Turing to be a groundbreaking theoretician and

an eccentric genius whose work still fuels the computing and

communication systems that define our modern world.

Jim Ottaviani is the recipient of multiple Eisner and Ignatz

Award nominations and was awarded a Xeric Foundation

grant. His work has made Booklist’s Top 10 Graphic Novels for

Youth list, YALSA’s Great Graphic Novels for Teens list, and

has been selected as a New York Times Editors’ Choice. He

lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Leland Purvis is an Eisner and

Ignatz Award nominee and an occasional reviewer for the

Comics Journal. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

Using the sepia tones of the Dust Bowl as his pal-

ette, author and artist Nick Hayes tells the story of

world-famous folkie Woody Guthrie (1912–1967), starting

in the 1920s when Guthrie was a teenager supporting

himself in dried-up, post-boomtown Oklahoma. Picking

up a harmonica and eventually a battered guitar, Guthrie

finds solace in the ancient lineage of folksong. Hayes

charts the musician’s course from Oklahoma and Texas

towns ravaged by dust and the Depression to boxcars,

factory farms, and the migrant camps of California,

highlighting Guthrie’s dedication to singing American

folk tunes and creating his own modern classics along

the way. Hayes ends his portrait in 1940, at the pivotal

time when Guthrie makes his way to New York and writes

“This Land Is Your Land,” his iconic anthem tinged with

both clear-eyed reality and optimism.

Based in London, Nick Hayes is the author of the highly

acclaimed The Rime of the Modern Mariner and has pub-

lished two collections of his short comics in the United

Kingdom. He is a political cartoonist for the Guardian and

has regular cartooning slots in the Literary Review and

the New Statesman.

As a single dad, Matthew Carroll didn’t

always have someone to share in his

frequent laughter and incredulity at the various

things his daughter, Morgan, said. Hoping to docu-

ment some of her best commentary, Carroll took

to recording her choicest quotes on his iPhone

when she was between the ages of three and five.

He then compiled them chronologically in a small

homemade volume for friends and family who,

compelled by the hilarious and touching content,

encouraged him to share it with a larger audience.

Can I Sit on Your Lap While You’re Pooping? is

the record of the hilarious, crazy, and touching

pronouncements of a little girl, but it’s also the

irresistible documentation of the love between a

parent and child.

Based in Portland, Oregon, Matthew Carroll has

worked at Wieden+Kennedy as an art director,

Carroll loves animals and riding her bicycle.

A charming collection of 140 exceptionally funny and offbeat quotes from a young girl

I will carry you.”

“I’m going to want your presents.”

“When I grow up, I want to be a stepmother.”

Exhuming the stories of the notable and not-so-

history of whiskey, moonshine, and other spirits. The

book presents 50 entertaining—and sometimes mor-

bid—microbiographies of figures from distilling’s bygone

days, including farmers, scientists, oligarchs, criminals,

and the occasional US president. The book also features

sidebars, graphics, and photos, such as relevant family

trees, walking-tour maps, and noteworthy vintage

newspaper clippings. A visually and textually rich volume

from the authors of The Kings County Distillery Guide to

Urban Moonshining, Dead Distillers is a spirited portrait of

the unusual and storied past of forgotten drunkenness.

Colin Spoelman, a former rooftop moonshiner from

Kentucky, and David Haskell, the great-grandson of

a prohibition-era bootlegger from New York, founded

Brooklyn’s Kings County Distillery in 2010 to make

small-scale batches of moonshine, bourbon, and other

whiskeys. Spoelman is a full-time distiller and writer;

Haskell is deputy editor at New York magazine.

A fascinating, gothic miscellany of the history and

America’s pit master, Myron Mixon, celebrates his south Georgia culinary roots in this

collection of his most personal and never-before-shared methods, recipes, and techniques

for smoking meat on an old-school barbecue pit. In barbecue, “old-school” means cooking on a

homemade coal-fired masonry pit, where the first step is burning wood to make your own coals,

followed by shoveling those coals beneath the meat and smoking that meat until it acquires the

distinct flavor only true pit-smoking can infuse. Myron Mixon’s BBQ Rules has 50 methods and reci-

pes for smoking every kind of meat from chicken wings to the whole hog, including all the basics

you need to get there and variations for cooking on smokers and grills. Also included are Mixon’s

personal favorites: his dad’s juicy T-bones, his prizewinning ribs, and even his own blackberry

cobbler. Featuring step-by-step lessons on building a pit, managing a fire, and selecting the best

wood, Mixon breaks down the essentials to help you become a pitmaster in your own backyard.

Myron Mixon has won more than 200 grand BBQ championships. He is the New York Times

bestselling author of Smokin’ with Myron Mixon and Everyday Barbecue and the star of

Destination America’s BBQ Rules, BBQ Pitmasters, and BBQ Pit Wars. He lives in Unadilla, Georgia.

The first 40 days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting

period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on author Heng Ou’s

own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set period of “confinement,” in

which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby,

The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth.

As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely “bounce back” after deliver-

ing their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional

challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifeline—a

source of connection, nourishment, and guidance.

The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing soups; replenishing meals

and snacks; and calming and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support

the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to the recipes, this warm and

encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the post-

partum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honoring the significance

of pregnancy and birth.

The First Forty Days, fully illustrated to feel both inspiring and soothing, is

a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-

be—the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby.

Heng Ou is the founder of MotherBees, a meal delivery service for new mothers.

C. F. A. Voysey (1857–1941) advocated honest and

thoughtful design, believed in high standards of

craftsmanship, and encouraged the use of only the finest

materials. His simple, elegant work—often enhanced by

highly symbolic decoration—was considered revolutionary

in his time and continues to enchant today. This definitive

volume on Voysey’s design life focuses on the English

architect as a designer of furniture, metalwork, and textiles,

providing a new analysis of his characteristic motifs. It

offers a complete and fully illustrated account of both

his output and his vision for domestic life at the turn of

the 20th century. Original drawings and plans, archival

photography, and images of surviving objects are united

here. Extensive new research details the personal and

professional relationships that enabled Voysey to become

a great and prolific designer, shedding light on how he ran

his business; how he promoted, exhibited, and sold his

work; who his clients were; and who was responsible for

manufacturing his designs.

Renowned for his iconic The Birth of Venus, Italian Renaissance painter

Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) is arguably one of the greatest artists of all

time. His work has inspired countless others, and his legacy is easy to see in

everything from Degas’s drawings and Warhol’s first computer portrait to Jeff

Koons’s album cover for Lady Gaga. As famous as he is today, Botticelli was

quickly forgotten after his death, only to be rediscovered in the 19th century.

Much of what we know of his art has been pieced together, as only three of his

works are signed or documented. Botticelli’s continuing impact raises a number

of questions: How does a painter acquire international fame? What made

Botticelli a pop icon? This fascinating book, published to accompany a major

exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is the first to contrast Botticelli’s

work with modern appropriations of it—including paintings, drawings, sculptures,

photographs, videos, fashion, and design by artists such as Edgar Degas,

Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, René Magritte, Andy Warhol,

Cindy Sherman, and Bill Viola.

Mark Evans is the senior curator of paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

He has written extensively on painting and is the author of numerous books on

art, including John Constable: The Making of a Master. Stefan Weppelmann is

director of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

What best captures the spirit of Jazz Age

fashion? A flapper dress? A cloche hat? As

this electrifying book reveals, the Jazz Age signaled

a sea change in design that rippled through every

aspect of apparel—and would shape fashion for years

to come. When the Ballets Russes took Paris by storm

in 1909, their costumes lit a fire under the fashion

world. Their exotic designs, vibrant patterns, and

rich, luxurious materials inspired ingenious designers

like Paul Poiret, Natalia Goncharova, Gabrielle “Coco”

Chanel, and Madeleine Vionnet to create garments

that were bold, inventive, and quintessentially modern.

With shorter hemlines and more daring cuts, these cre-

ations reflected the spirit of liberation and increased

independence for women. With a wealth of illustra-

tions, many from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s

world-famous dress collection, this lush book captures

fashions as playful as the Charleston and as elegant as

a luxurious ocean liner.

of furniture, textiles, and fashion at the Victoria and

This small volume on precious gold boxes—specifically

18th-century snuffboxes—features some of the most beautiful

examples from the famous collection of Sir Arthur and Rosalinde

Gilbert. Their passion for elegance, color, beauty, and craftsmanship is

palpable in every single artifact they acquired. Used by aristocrats to

signify taste, status, and wealth in the single gesture of taking a pinch

of snuff, boxes like these were meant to be admired from up close.

These miniature masterpieces were a key accessory for every stylish

man and woman in the 18th century, reflecting the culture and fashion

of the period. Gold is the defining material of the 50 masterpieces

presented, but the variety of decorative materials—including Japanese

lacquer, enamelwork, inlaid precious stones, portraits, and micromosa-

ics, a term that Gilbert coined—is extraordinary. The collection boasts

four diamond-set boxes associated with Frederick II of Prussia, several

owned by Catherine the Great, and other exquisite examples made

throughout Europe.

For decades, master printmaker Norman Ackroyd has been

fascinated by the British coastline. Gorgeously printed on

thick paper, A Hebridean Notebook presents his watercolors of

this archipelago just northwest of mainland Scotland. Inhabited

since prehistoric times, some of the Hebridean islands are now

deserted and rarely visited. These original plein-air watercolor

sketches, some produced under arduous conditions of weather

and sea from a small fishing boat, have provided the basis for

many of his most memorable etchings. A gazetteer at the back

contains the artist’s thoughts and further information about the

locations of the sketches—and the prevailing weather conditions

under which they were made.

Norman Ackroyd was born in Leeds in 1938 and studied at the

Royal College of Art in London. He turned to landscape depicting

in the 1980s, and since then his etchings, particularly of the

ruggedly beautiful British coastline, have been widely admired

around the world.

Frederick the Great, King of Prussia (r. 1740–86), had a particular preference for the green stone chrysoprase, and allegedly even asked to be shown boxes in this material on his deathbed. The light beauty of the box is in stark contrast to the story told by the stone: chrysoprase was found in Silesia, which became part of Prussia as a result of Frederick’s military campaigns, commemorated in the maps of the silver box medal.

Ann Christopher is a British sculptor

who works primarily in cast bronze,

stainless steel, silver, and fabricated Corten

steel. Her award-winning nonfigurative work

comprises both large and small sculptures

and site-specific commissions. Her titles—

including First Wall, Black Line, and Split

Reflection—possess a simplicity that is belied

by the complex connotations of the sculptures

themselves. Upon closer inspection, these

elegant and understated works reveal con-

nections with a vast spectrum of sources from

across the globe, such as rock formations in

Israel, fossils from the Cretaceous chalks of

Hertfordshire, prehistoric standing stones

in Avebury, and early Aegean figurines. The

marks Christopher makes on her works are

suggestive both of natural processes, such

as weathering, and of the forms and tools of

mechanized industry. In this definitive publica-

The history of architecture is a story of

continual innovation, and at certain points

within that story come architects whose visions

completely defy convention. Mavericks focuses

on 12 such figures from the history of British archi-

tecture, including Sir John Soane, Charles Rennie

Mackintosh, Cedric Price, and Zaha Hadid. From the

stripped-back classicism of Soane’s Dulwich Picture

Gallery to Hadid’s neofuturistic London Aquatics

Centre for the 2012 Olympics, the architects’ work is

bold, frequently controversial, and often radical. It is

architecture that actively resists being pigeonholed

into a particular style or period. What connects this

naturally disparate group of free creative spirits is

the way each has charted his or her own course,

often deliberately evading conventions of taste,

fashion, and ways of working. This book offers a

fresh take on their creations, establishing new and

sometimes surprising historical connections while

proposing an intriguing alternative narrative to the

history of British architecture.

Venice in the early 16th century was Europe’s undisputed capital

of culture: home to some of the finest artists of the Italian

Renaissance whose importance stretched far beyond the region. The

first great painter to emerge was also the most mysterious. Little is

known about Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione

(c. 1477–1510), and few works have been attributed to him with certainty,

yet he painted what is considered the first landscape in Western art

history and his influence was profoundly felt by contemporaries includ-

ing Lorenzo Lotto, Palma il Vecchio, Sebastiano del Piombo, and Titian.

This sumptuous volume brings together many of the works attributed

to Giorgione, along with other masterpieces of the Venetian school,

demonstrating the extraordinary richness of color and mood for which

these artists were famed. Published to accompany a major exhibition,

this book brings to life an extraordinary moment in art history.

volume looks exclusively at the portraits that David Hockney, one

of the most famous artists in the world, has been painting recently.

In 2012, Hockney returned to California, where he had lived

and worked for long periods. There followed a series of painted

portraits, the subjects of which ranged from studio assistants and

office staff to family, friends, and long-term acquaintances. Also

included are a number of fellow artists, curators, and gallerists,

including John Baldessari and Larry Gagosian. Reproduced in

stunning colorplates along with two important new texts, this vivid

series of portraits, executed in bold acrylics, is observant and full of

life, marking Hockney’s vibrant return to Technicolor form.

A New York–based, British-born art-

ist, Bill Jacklin worked as a graphic

designer before turning to painting in

the early 1960s. Initially concerned with

abstraction, Jacklin started to focus on

figurative work, and principally on depict-

ing light and movement, in the mid-1970s.

After moving to New York in 1985, the city

began to play a starring role in many of his

works, particularly his atmospheric images

of ice skaters, and his early training in

graphics is evident in the bold, striking

patterns he draws from the chaos of urban

life. Encompassing a range of techniques,

including etching and monoprints,

Jacklin’s prolific output ranges from “urban

portraits” of the artist’s adopted city to

snow scenes and seascapes that capture

the elemental drama of nature. This

authoritative collection is a master class

in evoking atmosphere, movement, and

space through printmaking.

The subjects and styles of painter

Anthony Whishaw encompass an excep-

tional range. He paints in concurrent series,

which sometimes overlap to form unexpected

hybrids. His paintings vary in scale from only

8 inches to nearly 23 feet in length, and a

similar breadth of scope also exists within his

subject matter, which examines macro- and

microcosms from the depths of space to

instances of electrochemical activity in the

brain. His paintings can be both figurative and

abstract, illustrative and allusive, and he uses

a wide range of media, often adding sand,

soil, ash, or metal to his works. The results are

considerations of memory and experience.

Past and present pictorial languages combine

to create unforeseen visual encounters on

the edge of representation. This authoritative

book, lavishly illustrated, includes text by

Richard Davey that unravels the complexities

of Whishaw’s remarkable work.

Revered for his resonant, inventive, and unapolo-

on both the people and urban landscapes near his

studio in Camden Town, London, for inspiration. His

intentions have been consistent: “What I wanted to

do was to record the life that seemed to me to be

passionate and exciting and disappearing all the time.”

This visually arresting publication will accompany

a retrospective of Auerbach’s work presented at

Tate Britain and the Kunstmuseum Bonn in 2015.

The exhibition, which will provide a wholly fresh

survey of Auerbach’s career, is curated by Catherine

Lampert—who has sat for Auerbach since 1978—in

close consultation with the artist. The only accessible,

affordable survey of Auerbach’s work on the market,

this much-needed assessment includes a new essay

This first collection reveals the remarkably eloquent writings and

conversations of sculptor Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975). The

compilation finally makes available previously out-of-print and inac-

cessible writings, and includes a significant number of unpublished

texts. A surprisingly large body of work, it spans almost the whole

of Hepworth’s artistic life. Her gift for language and desire to com-

municate to a public are evident throughout. Alongside the writings

are Hepworth’s lectures and speeches, a selection of interviews and

conversations with writers and journalists, and radio and television

broadcasts. The collection sheds new light on Hepworth’s life, her

artistic practices, the sources of her inspiration, the breadth of her

intellectual interests, and her deep engagement with contemporary

politics and society, from the United Nations to St. Ives. Images

include replications of the sculptor’s manuscripts and archive

photographs from Hepworth’s own collection.

Sophie Bowness is an art historian and trustee of the

Hepworth Estate.

Barbara HepworthWRITINGS AND CONVERSATIONS

■ EDITED BY SOPHIE BOWNESS

Renowned for her elegantly sleek sculptures in stone, wood,

and bronze, Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975) is among

Britain’s most important modern artists. This groundbreaking

new publication focuses on the spaces and contexts, physical

and conceptual, in which the artist is positioned. It examines her

interest in staging and presenting work—indoors and out—in

studio, film, garden, stage, architecture, photography, and print.

As well as placing her work alongside her British and international

contemporaries, a broad range of distinguished contributors

also consider wider technical and intellectual concerns. Richly

illustrated with more than 200 color images drawn from her entire

career, the catalog represents some of Hepworth’s best-known

works in addition to introducing some of her less familiar pieces.

The book features previously unseen documentary material,

including photographs and film stills that cast new light on one of

the 20th century’s greatest artists.

Penelope Curtis was director at Tate Britain from 2010 to 2015. Chris

Stephens is head of displays and lead curator, modern British art, at

Tate Britain.

SPECIFICATIONSSince 1960, progressive forces within art

education have fired new impulses in the

field of artistic production. As society at large

embraced youth and popular culture, art-school

students with international aspirations tore

down class barriers, fused fashion with pop, and

insisted that art was integral to social change. Art

schools responded to these seismic changes,

widening the range of artistic exploration from

a craft-based curriculum to more art-historical

and experimental approaches. A new generation

emerged, one whose techniques, perspectives,

and arguments were more influenced by ideas of

art theory and personal exploration, and whose

forms of expression influence artists today. Now,

for the first time, this history of innovation is

uncovered by scholars in the field who address

key aspects of a dynamic period—from the

work of early pioneers in international styles to

changes in studio practice—and new roles in

art schools for art history, architecture, and the

art market.

Edition

How many times have you read the caption

next to a work of art in a museum or gallery,

or a review of an exhibition, and found yourself none

the wiser? The language in which modern art is

described can be even more mystifying than the art

itself. Now, a fully updated and expanded edition of

the acclaimed Tate Guide to Modern Art Terms offers

a clear and reliable guide, with more than 450 pithy

entries on the full range of international modern and

contemporary art. Drawing on the expertise of Tate,

the book provides an authoritative and up-to-date

resource, small enough to fit into a bag or pocket.

Spanning the dawn of Impressionism to the digital

age, every term—whether a theme, movement,

medium, or technique—is defined with clarity and

precision. This is the perfect companion for all

those wanting to increase their understanding and

appreciation of modern and contemporary art.

Simon Wilson is former head of interpretation at Tate.

Jessica Lack is an arts writer for the Guardian.

Gwen John (1876–1939) was an

artist with a singular vision, one

whose intense gaze produced some of the

most beguiling and atmospheric paintings

of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This concise survey of her life and work

places John—often unfairly thought of as a

recluse—at the artistic heart of London and

Paris. A seminal figure within these circles,

her work is reappraised in that context and

explored in terms of the alliances and dif-

ferences John had with her contemporaries.

Gwen John’s representation of the female

nude, her paintings of interiors, and the

effect of her Catholic faith on her work are all

discussed. The author also discusses the key

relationship between John’s position as a

woman artist and her lifelong fascination with

the portrayal of the female sitter.

Alicia Foster is a novelist and art historian.

She is author of Warpaint and Tate

John Constable (1776–1837) is best

known for his idyllic paintings of the

English countryside. Yet he was also a

brilliant innovator who brought a new

vivacity to the observation of nature. He

practiced oil painting in the open air,

capturing in particular the “effervescent”

effects of atmospherics—as can be seen,

for example, in his wonderful studies of

clouds. His art became a benchmark for

naturalist painters throughout Europe

and America in the 19th century, and he

continues to be one of the most popular

and influential artists today. This book

draws extensively on the artist’s own

correspondence to provide a fresh

understanding of his artistic aims and

achievements, and reassesses his role

in the development of modern art.

William Vaughan is professor emeritus

in history of art at Birkbeck College,

University of London.

Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was one of the most influential artists of his generation. Though

he was hailed as the “greatest living realist painter,” Freud’s commitment to realism,

and particularly to the human figure, was often controversial. Always creating debate, Freud

consistently addressed questions of human existence and perception, testing, through a sus-

tained practice of looking, the possibility of knowing and recording human individuality. In this

brand new survey of the artist’s life and work, Virginia Button introduces us to one of the 20th

century’s most important artists. The book is organized in seven thematic chapters covering the

whole span of Freud’s life and work.

Virginia Button is a writer and curator, and director of the Falmouth School of Art, Falmouth

University, United Kingdom. She is an expert in 20th-century art and the author of The Turner Prize.

In the last decade, interest in photography has

exploded. Among the most compelling and popular

art forms, photography is now recognized as central to

the development of modern and contemporary art. In

this accessibly written survey, art photography comes

alive through a series of frames—from documentary

style and pictorialism to archives, narratives, and the

conceptual uses of the medium. David Bate traces

major developments and themes from the earliest

days of photography, in the 1830s, to the present day,

examining the many ways in which photography and

art have intersected since the birth of the medium.

Featuring works from a wide and international group

of artists—including Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton,

Lee Miller, Brassaï, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Ed

Ruscha, and Gillian Wearing—this comprehensive

volume uncovers the Anglo-American and European

contexts of art photography, as well as the Asian,

African, and Middle Eastern perspectives.

What lasting legacy did British colonialism have

on the cultures once under the Empire’s con-

trol? A rich and varied visual culture emerged in places

under British governance, from the Americas to India

and Australasia. Writers, artists, and museums have long

played a role in documenting the cultural impact of British

colonialism, and yet, since the vast Imperial exhibitions of

the early 20th century, there has been no comprehensive

presentation of the objects made across the British

Empire. This publication, which accompanies a major Tate

Britain exhibition, fills that gap.

In this landmark study, leading scholars focus on

how particular objects tell the history of life under British

rule. Paintings by artists such as John Singer Sargent

and Sidney Nolan are presented alongside Benin bronze

heads and Mughal miniatures in a survey that ranges from

16th-century colonialism to the British Empire’s decline in

the postwar era.

Stunning masterpieces of Chinese and Japanese art

are presented here alongside the glittering creations

that they inspired world-renowned jeweler Cartier to create.

This lavishly illustrated book compares and contrasts

Cartier’s Asian-influenced creations—diamond-studded

pagodas and pavilions, shimmering phoenixes, jade dragons,

and cherry blossoms rendered in colorful gems—alongside

exotic objects from the Baur Foundation, Museum of Far

Eastern Art, in Geneva, Switzerland.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, exotic objects

from China and Japan fascinated Westerners, captivating

art lovers and influencing designers. Collector Alfred Baur

(1865–1951) began assembling his unparalleled collection

of Asian works and Paris jeweler Alfred Cartier (1841–1925)

began designing Asian-themed jewels and precious objects.

Here, side by side with Cartier’s precious creations, are

imperial porcelains, lacquerware embellished with precious

metals, embroidered silks, jades, colored enamels, netsuke,

sword hilts, and prints, offering fresh insight into the marvels

of China, of Japan, and of Cartier.

Innsmouth: a crumbling Massachusetts seaport

shadowed in rumor and suspicion. A town

inhabited by sullen and hostile people with disturb-

ing, amphibian looks. It’s no place for a sightseer.

Passing through Innsmouth on a genealogical

tour of New England, a young man makes an

ill-advised attempt to unravel the town’s long-veiled

history. What unfolds is a terrifying tale of a town

transformed by its interaction with a monstrous

aquatic civilization. As Innsmouth’s murky history is

brought to light, the narrator learns that the town’s

mysterious past is tied to his own family history. It is

a revelation that has chilling consequences for the

present—and for the future.

The image of Samia Yusuf Omar running for last

be imprinted in the minds of all who saw it: The lean

Somalian, wearing knee-length leggings and a baggy

T-shirt, came in seconds behind her competitors. What

the cheering crowd couldn’t know then was what it took

to get there. An Olympic Dream follows Omar’s second

attempt to represent her country at the Olympics, this

time in London. Reinhard Kleist pictures the athlete

training in one of the most dangerous cities in the world;

her passage through Sudan and into Libya; and her

fateful attempt to reach Europe. By telling the story of one

remarkable woman, Kleist gives voice to the thousands of

migrants who risk their lives daily for a better future.

5 2 4 9 5In the mid-1930s, Irmina, an ambitious young German,

travels to London. There she meets Howard Green, one

of the first black students at Oxford. Like Irmina, Howard

is looking for an independent existence—and a love affair

blossoms between the two outsiders. But the relationship

comes to an abrupt end when Irmina, constrained by

the political situation in Hitler’s Germany, has to return

to Berlin. Political events accelerate, and her letters to

Howard are returned unopened. It will be 30 years until

she receives another. Based on a true story, this moving

and perceptive graphic novel conjures the oppressive

atmosphere of wartime Germany and reflects on the

passive complicity of its people with sympathy and

intelligence.

Barbara Yelin was born in Munich and studied illustration

at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. She is the

■ Christie’s life was as dramatic,

■ Anyone who has enjoyed

works will be intrigued by this

beautifully drawn, cinematic

■ The narrative of Agatha is

The life of Agatha Christie was as mysterious and

eventful as her fiction. This beautifully illustrated

graphic novel traces the life of the Queen of Whodunnit

from her childhood in Torquay, England, through a career

filled with success, mischief, and adventure, to her later

years as Dame Agatha. Revealing a side to Christie that

will surprise and delight many readers, Agatha introduces

us to a free-spirited and thoroughly modern woman who,

among other things, enjoyed flying, travel, and surfing.

Centering around an episode in 1926 when Christie

staged her own disappearance, Agatha is an intriguing,

entertaining, and funny exploration of the 20th century’s

best-loved crime novelist.

In Munch, writer and artist Steffen Kverneland brings

the story of one of the world’s most influential

painters to vivid life. This extraordinary, inventive

graphic novel uses text drawn exclusively from the

quotes of Edvard Munch and his contemporaries.

Filled with authenticity and life, Munch debunks the

familiar myth of the half-mad expressionist painter—

anguished, starving, and ill-treated—and draws out

his neglected sense of humor and optimism. Born out

of a lifelong fascination with Munch’s life and work,

Kverneland’s seven-year project is a landmark of

graphic biography and the funniest, most entertain-

ing portrait yet of a complex man and the pioneering

artist behind The Scream.

Steffen Kverneland is an award-winning comics

artist. He is the author of biographies of Henrik Ibsen

and Olaf Gulbransson, among many other books. He

lives in Norway.

An acclaimed graphic-novel biography of the great expressionist artist behind The Scream

“Munch is a dazzling use of

sequential storytelling. . . .

entertaining biography.”
