Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the early 1920s Charles Simpson was the leading figure in the St Ives art colony. After running a local art school with his wife, he moved to London in 1924, later returning to Cornwall where he continued to write and illustrate, producing books on photography and art. He was prolific in painting hunting and racing scenes and carrying out commissions for horse-and rider portraits. By then living in Lamorna, Simpson returned to painting the coastline and his favourite subject ducks on the stream or millpond. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Victorian painter John Brett delighted in the natural world. As a Pre-Raphaelite in the mid-century, he created glowing landscapes, famously the Stonebreaker of 1857 and The Val d'Aosta painted in the following year, which showed all the qualities of the Pre-Raphaelites, truthfulness to nature and almost obsessional attention to detail. He was at this time influenced by the teachings of John Ruskin, although their friendship was to end in some acrimony. There were to be other sides to John Brett and from the 1870s onwards he devoted much of his time to painting the sea and the coast of the British Isles, including, as this sumptuous book shows, the many faces and colours of Cornwall. Painting during long family holidays, he left over 200 known views of the coastline from Fowey in the east to Bude in the north. In thirty years, he recorded with Ruskinian precision and Pre-Raphaelite intensity of colour its varied beauties, revelling in the diverse moods of sea and sky, the golden sands and the majesty and grandeur of the Cornish cliffs. Three experts on John Brett discuss his life and work, his relations with Ruskin and his time in Cornwall, concluding with a large selection of the paintings.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is the first major study of the Cornish art metalwork that was so skilfully crafted over an 80-year period from the height of the Arts and Crafts movement, through the Art Nouveau to the birth of the Craft movement. The book showcases the work of the principal craftsmen and companies and reviews their backgrounds, their influences, and of course their rich body of work which is often strongly influenced by the culture and spirit of Cornwall. It compares work created in highly organised workshops and industrial classes as well as by individual craftsmen. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs of metal work as well as contemporary photographs, advertisements and documents, which help show the great variety and style of work that was created. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Using both words and images author, Gill Clarke tracks the genesis of the Women's Land Army in the First World War through to its re-formation in the Second World War and final disbandment in 1950. This is the first study to make extensive use of paintings by distinguished and lesser-known artists, together with recruitment posters, cartoons and photographs from both World Wars to portray the life and work of the Women's Land Army. Theirs is something of a forgotten history. Yet, the work these women did on the land often in terrible conditions was vital to the success of the war effort. They played a crucial part in increasing levels of productivity from the land in both World Wars. Drawing on published autobiographies and recent interviews by the author with Land Girls in the Second World War, this book tells their story and those of the artists and illustrators who recorded their heroic work. The book is divided into three illustrated sections - Holding the Home Front: The Women's Land Army in the First World War; Back to the Land: The Women's Land Army in the Second World War; and, Recording Life on the Land: Portraits of the Artists and Illustrators. This book is profusely illustrated, with many iconic images being published here for the first time. It is published to coincide with a unique exhibition devoted to the Women's Land Army at St Barbe Gallery, Lymington in October 2008. The publication follows renewed interest in twentieth-century British art. It is published in the year that the Women's Land Army veterans are officially honoured by the Government and awarded a badge to recognise their efforts. This book will appeal not only to former Land Army Girls and their families, but to a varied audience including students, researchers and scholars of art, social and cultural history and biographical studies. In addition it will appeal to those with an interest in the connections between biography and art. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this lavishly illustrated book, artist Arthur Lockwood celebrates 20 years of painting change in the industrial landscapes of Birmingham and the Black Country. He has produced an elegy for a lost way of life, without pathos or bitterness but with realism. Without making judgements, Arthur Lockwood has dedicated himself to recording the demolition of nineteenth-century buildings and the construction of new landmarks such as the Bull Ring Shopping Centre in Birmingham. Alongside this, he set out to document the decline of the region's manufacturing, painting working factories and foundries before many were closed down and some of them demolished.In "Oldbury" he recorded the last line of working drop hammers and in Wolverhampton the last manufacturer of tacks and cut nails. In "Birmingham" he painted the last drop forge in the city. The book contains over 100 paintings selected from twenty years' work. Brendan Flynn, Curator of Fine Art at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, has written an introduction, noting that 'In capturing the process of change, Lockwood slows it down for us and offers an overview of the economic and social forces at large in the urban landscape. His drawings are probably the most searching examination in the visual arts of any urban landscape in Britain.'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Peter Howson has established a formidable reputation as one of his generation's leading figurative painters. Many of his paintings derive inspiration from the streets of Glasgow, where he was brought up. He is renowned for his penetrating insight into the human condition, and his heroic portrayals of the mighty and the lowly. His experiences of abuse - whether self-inflicted and substance-related or the traumatic events of his childhood - have moulded his view of the world and afforded him an affinity with those individuals who are classed as somehow 'on the edge'. His ability to speak to those on the margins is proof of his enduring skill at capturing the maverick, the excessive and the non-conformist. In 1992 he was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to record the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. He was appointed official British war artist for Bosnia in 1993 and in 1996 was awarded Doctor of Letters at The University ofStrathclyde. His work is in numerous international private and public collections.This publication is the first major statement about Howsons work for almost twenty years and accompanies a major retrospective at Edinburgh City Art Centre. It illustrates his consummate skill in a range of media and documents his religious work as well as his graphic responses to recent global events.
