When he died in 2012 he left behind not only an extraordinary body of work, but also an archive that illuminated both his own life and career and that of the many other makers, artists and activists who had been his friends, colleagues or the subject of his writing. Th is book is based almost exclusively on that archive. Using his unpublished memoirs, diaries, and correspondence, Making Emmanuel Cooper illuminates the journey of an intelligent, if unconfi dent, working class boy growing up in a small north Derbyshire mining village whose life was transformed, fi rstly at school, by the magic of clay, and then in adult life by the liberation politics of the late 1960s. Richly illustrated, Making Emmanuel Cooper is both a personal and a social history that celebrates the life and times of an important artist and remarkable man. David Horbury was born in Yorkshire in 1959. He graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London and subsequently worked as a producer and scriptwriter for the BBC and other media companies. He met Emmanuel Cooper in 1982 and they lived together until Emmanuel’s death in 2012. Th ey celebrated their Civil Partnership in 2006. 2 Hardback 288 pp 325 x 233 mm Thema Codes: A, AJ, AJCP 250 colour illustrations 978-1-912690-39-8 September 2019 £50.00 €60.00 Artf ully Dressed Women in the Art World Portraits by Carla van de Putt elaar C���� ��� �� P�������� In the spring of 2017, Carla van de Puttelaar developed a new and timely series devoted to prominent and promising women in the art world, Artfully Dressed: Women in the Art World. While working on this ongoing project, Van de Puttelaar became even more impressed by the personalities and achievements of these women. United in their brilliance and strength, they represent a wide range of backgrounds, nationalities, careers, age and expertise. Th e women are dressed in amazing quality clothes by top designers, in period costumes or vintage clothes, or wrapped in stunning and luxurious fabrics. To date, over 250 women worldwide have participated in Van de Puttelaar’s project, and the series continues to grow and has become an important document of the present time of women in the art world. Dr Carla van de Puttelaar is an artist and art historian. She has been awarded several art prizes including the Prix de Rome Basic Prize. Her photographic work has gained worldwide recognition and she has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world. In 2017 she started her acclaimed portrait series: Artfully Dressed: Women in the Art World. Five of her monographs have been published. She also works for well-known magazines such as Th e New York Times Magazine and Th e New Yorker. Her work is present in many public and private collections around the world. Van de Puttelaar has taught Photography at the Royal Academy of Art in Th e Hague. She published several articles on Dutch portraiture from the seventeenth century. In 2017, she successfully defended her doctoral thesis on Scottish portraiture between 1644 and 1714 at Utrecht University. 5 Hardback 320 pp 260 x 190 mm Thema Codes: A, AB, 6AA 95 colour illustrations 978-1-912690-34-3 July 2019 £30.00 The Geometry of Beauty The Not Very Briti sh Art of Six Briti sh Arti sts J���� B����� In this deeply personal study, James Bartos situates British geometric abstraction within the context of a broader international movement which spanned the course of the twentieth century, and which continues into our own time. Th e author’s thoughtful consideration of Alan Reynolds, Peter Joseph, Marc Vaux, John Carter, Callum Innes, and Luke Frost – six artists whose beautiful and deeply intelligent work Bartos reveres and collects – examines why geometric abstraction developed as a side-stream to fi guration in British art, appreciated more enthusiastically abroad than at home. – Amy Meyers, Director, Yale Center for British Art James Bartos off ers a compelling account of the rich history and enduring aesthetic power of geometric abstract art. Writing with the passion of a committed collector and the sensibility of an art historian, Bartos doesn’t just chart his subject, he defends its place within the contemporary art world and provokes larger questions about what makes art meaningful. All this is only the backdrop to the real subject of his book, the six ‘not very British’ artists who are presented through a series of insightful new interviews with the artists and their gallerists. – Barnaby Wright, Deputy Head of Th e Courtauld Gallery and Daniel Katz Curator of 20th Century Art James Bartos had a legal career that took him from his native New York to London in 1987. He has looked at, been a patron of, and occasionally collected art for most of his life. He has a particular passion for abstract and geometric art. 6 7 Paperback with fl aps 176 pp 260 x 210 mm Thema Codes: A, AJ, AJCD, 1DDU-GB-ESLC 80 colour illustrations 978-1-911604-90-7 August 2019 £25.00 LDN Reimagined A Surreal Visual Journey that will Change your Percepti on of London R����� J���, ���� � �������� �� C����� G����� Remember the fi rst time you saw a glowing yellow street light through the raindrops scattered across your window? Or snow falling onto the palm of your hand and watched it morph into a variety of shapes before disappearing? Or as you become older, how the tower that use to be a giant in the sky, is now just clumps of metal and concrete? One day walking home from work, I saw a face in the tower; I had never seen this face before.

  • The British, American and French Photobook: Commitment, Memory, Materiality and the Art Market (1900-2019)
    The British, American and French Photobook: Commitment, Memory, Materiality and the Art Market (1900-2019) Maison Française, Oxford Thursday 14 to Saturday 16 March 2019 Maison Française 2-10 Norham Road Oxford OX2 6SE This three-day conference is on the social history of the British, American or French photobook from 1900 to the present. Papers will address: commitment or explicit political engagement; memory, commemoration and the writing of history; materiality (whether real or virtual), and how material form affects circulation, handling, critical responses and the social life of the photobook. Contributors will analyse these topics with respect to the growth of the market for the photobook as a commodity and an object of bibliophilic attention. This conference will concern itself with the social history of the photobook, whether photographer-driven, writer-driven, editor-driven, or publisher-driven. For the purposes of this conference, the definition of the photobook will be extended to include all photographically illustrated books, regardless of subject matter or the proportion of text to image, or indeed whether or not the images are “illustrative” in the strict sense of the word. Three major questions arise concerning the photobook as a medium. Firstly, what place is there for literary fiction or imaginative picture-making in photobooks committed to documentary truth-telling or historical accuracy? In a word, how do fact and fiction, objectivity and subjectivity, cohere? Secondly, to what extent does the self-fashioning of the

    FREE STILLNESS SPEAKS 1ST EDITION PDF Eckhart Tolle | 9781577314004 | | | | | Stillness Speaks - AbeBooks - Tolle, Eckhart: X When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form. Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world. The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness. Whenever there is some silence around you — listen to it. Stillness Speaks 1st edition means just notice it. Pay attention to it. Listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself, because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence. See that in the moment of noticing the Stillness Speaks 1st edition around you, you are not thinking. You are aware, but not thinking. When you become aware of silence, immediately there is that state of inner still alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning. Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach Stillness Speaks 1st edition stillness. When you look at a tree and perceive its stillness, you become still yourself.

A century on from the end of the First World War, 2018 was a year of national commemoration and remembrance. All conflicts are agents of change, but the first industrial total war wrought dislocation in Britain, across Europe and Russia, and far beyond. One legacy of those four years of conflict are memorials to the fallen. They are to be found in all but 53 of England’s then estimated 16,000 villages. Chelsea’s main memorial, unveiled in 1920, stands in Sloane Square, but there are others, tucked away, such as in Wiltshire Close. To mark the ending of the Great War, it seemed apt to include a piece on Sir Alfred Munnings, who lived in Chelsea Park Gardens.

Enjoying some of the finest Spring and Summer weather in living memory, Chelsea residents took to local open spaces – which were celebrated in last year’s Annual Report. Throughout the Winter of 2020 and into the new year, the Lockdown was still with us. As Covid-19 became Covid-21, the novelty had gone, replaced by anxiety for many and ennui for others. Home schooling, working from home, stay home... We retreated indoors, into isolation and perhaps into ourselves. A great consolation in these strange times was music. Scientific studies, including in intensive care units, are busy confirming what we all know instinctively; that music has a transformative effect on mood. And it’s not just Bach concertos; it seems that even heavy metal – allowing listeners to help process negative feelings such as anger – can help with long term well-being.

  • Le Surréalisme Et L'argent
    212 katia sowels 59 Surrealist Objects & Poems, Londres, London Gallery, 25 novembre – 24 décembre 1937. On y remarque notamment : au premier plan à droite, Marcel Jean, Spectre du Gardénia, 1936 ; Joan Miró, Horaire, c. 1937 ; Man Ray, Look and Speak, 1935 ; Paul et Margaret Nash, Basket for found objects, c. 1937. Archives Lee Miller 213 « Surrealist Objects & Poems », 1937. Réaffirmer le dynamisme du surréalisme à la London Gallery Katia Sowels Du 24 novembre 1937, au treizième coup de minuit, jusqu’au 24 décem- bre, une tête de mannequin renversée, un ballon qui fume des cigarettes, une horloge hydraulique mexicaine et d’autres objets oniriques, mobiles ou perturbés s’emparent de la London Gallery (fig. 59). L’exposition « Surrealist Objects & Poems » survient à un moment décisif de l’histoire du surréalisme en Angleterre. D’une part, parce qu’il s’agit de la pre- mière manifestation surréaliste d’envergure organisée à Londres depuis l’« International Surrealist Exhibition » qui s’était tenue du 11 juin au 4 juillet 1936 aux New Burlington Galleries. D’autre part, parce qu’il s’agit également de la première exposition organisée conjointement par Roland Penrose et E.L.T. Mesens à la London Gallery, quand leur ami- tié et leur collaboration se consolident. L’exposition est de fait souvent mentionnée dans les études dédiées au surréalisme en Angleterre1. Elle l’est beaucoup moins en ce qui concerne l’histoire de l’objet surréaliste2. Pourtant cet intérêt porté à l’objet, dans un tel contexte, semble tout aussi déterminant. D’autant qu’il s’agit de la seule exposition entière- ment consacrée aux objets surréalistes depuis l’« Exposition surréaliste d’objets » organisée à la galerie Charles Ratton du 22 au 29 mai 1936.

The date of the service coincides with the festival of Candlemas which marks the end of Chrisstmas and Epiphany season and it is tthus fitting that the end of Bishop Richard’s tenure of office should be marked with the beautiful Candlemas liturgy. Everyone will be welcome to attend this unique service, the earlier ticketing arrangements for parishes having been dispensed with. The Bishop will prreside over what promises to be a feast of music and light in the unique settting of St Paul’s Cathedral. Alongside the service in the Cathedral the bishop will launch a parallel celebration in Patternoster Square ― a ‘pop‐ up cathedral’ ― shortly before 6.00pm. The Bishop’s sermon and other parts of the Cathhedral service will be shown on a big screen in the Square and there will be music, prayer and proclamation. Holy Commmunion will be shared by everyone inside and outside the Cathedral.
