Seeing RothkoThroughout his career, Rothko was concerned with what other people experienced when they looked at his canvases. As his work shifted from figurative imagery to luminous fields of color, his concern expanded to the setting in which his paintings were exhibited. In a series of analytic, personal, and even poetic essays by contemporary scholars, this volume explores the profound and varied responses elicited by Rothko’s most compelling creations. This volume also reproduces, for the first time, a “Scribble Book,” in which he jotted down his ideas on teaching art to children, and a sketchbook, both dating to the early years of the artist’s career.

The Turner BookThis is easily the best introduction to Turner that I have read in quite a while. It provides an informed audience with an excellent synthesis of the key issues regarding the artist’s life, work, and era… The Turner that emerges here is one that I find entirely congenial and transfixing and the Turner that a larger public should come to know.’ - Professor Kathleen Nicholson, author of Turner’s Classical Landscapes: Myth and Meaning.

Over the past decade they have built up an international reputation for work through which they have confronted some of the most troubling issues of our time.

Blake’s Songs of Innocence & of ExperienceWilliam Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience is a collection of poems which embodies not only the talents of a writer, but also those of an artist working in illuminated printing, applying words and pictures to copper plates with the surrounding surfaces etched away. There are twenty one copies of Songs of Innocence and twenty seven of the work as a whole, but no separate copies of Songs of Experience.

Permanent CollectionIn Permanent Collection, Tim Davies focuses on paintings in museums, photographing them from oblique angles so that existing museum lighting glares off the paintings’ surfaces, changing their often-reproduced meanings. By then enlarging the photographs to the size of the original painting, the light is allowed to do more than illuminate a painting’s image, but instead can obscure, erase, add humor, sadness, strangeness or narrative to objects we think of as fixed and permanent.

I Will Never Forget You…Frida Kahlo to Nickolas MurayFrida Kahlo was one of the most photographed artists of the twentieth century. Nickolas Muray’s portraits of her have a luminous, painterly quality, described by Siego Rivera as being ‘as beautiful as a Piero de la Francesca’. The love-letters between Kahlo ad Muray reproduced here add another dimension to our understanding of their relationship and cast new light on Kahlo’s life and work.
