Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Fedden (1915-2012) is one of Britain's most popular artists.

In an engaging text, which draws on numerous conversations with the artist during her final years, Christopher Andreae considers why Fedden has always had such a popular following, looks at the English quality of her work, and talks about the commercialisation of her art and her attitudes to the art market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Fedden (born 1915) is one of Britain's most popular living artists. The focus of this new book is the artist's creative process in various different media - oil, gouache, pencil and collage.While Fedden is often considered almost exclusively a still-life painter, still life is far from being her only preoccupation, as this book shows. Fantasy and imagination have always played a strong part, and this is particularly evident in her small gouaches. A quietly surreal, enigmatic streak runs through much of her work.Fedden's collages are a witty and affectionate homage to the work of her husband, Julian Trevelyan. They lived, worked and travelled together from 1949 to 1988. The book re-emphasizes her debt to him, but also her independence, even during their early life together when he stimulated her move into modernism.In an engaging text, which draws on numerous conversations with the artist, Christopher Andreae considers why Mary Fedden has such a popular following, looks at the English quality of her work, and talks about the commercialization of her art and her attitudes to the art market. Fedden is shown to be an original, serious and prolific artist, a draftsman of unusual sensitivity and prowess, and a colourist of power and subtlety.Profusely illustrated with works from private and public collections, this is a book for Mary Fedden's existing devotees as well as newcomers to her work.

Book excerpt: This book delves into a substantial, largely unpublished, corpus of sketches of Malta by the artists Julian Trevelyan and Mary Fedden, particularly their interpretation of the Maltese landscape during the period from 1958, the year of their first visit to Malta and Gozo, to 1979. During this time, these two artists visited Malta no less than six times, in 1958, 1963, 1968, 1970, 1976 and 1979, whilst Mary Fedden would visit again in 2002. The study looks at the immediate impact that Malta had on these two artists, at what Maltese subject matter aroused their interest, and whether such an interest was towards specific buildings or locations or whether their interest was mainly in capturing the sense of time and place of the islands, without necessarily referring to specific locations. It was the aim of this study to establish how and why these two artists came to Malta, their connections in Malta, and the friendships that they developed over the years, both with British residents on the islands, and with local patrons and artists. Perhaps with some nostalgia and regret, the paintings, prints and sketches of Trevelyan and Fedden leave a historical account of Malta as it was then, the decades pre- and post-Independence; landscapes imbued with cultural overtones, which, in the name of progress, have now changed beyond recognition, or lost forever. One can find consolation, at least, in the fact that two sensitive British artists have left for posterity sincere depictions of Malta as seen through their mind’s eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On New Year's Day 1986, encouraged by her dealer Andras Kalman, artist Mary Newcomb, then aged 64, began to keep a diary. She wrote in its opening pages: "I wanted [...] to remind ourselves that--in our haste--in this century--we may not give time to pause and look--and may pass on our way unheeding." This beautiful new book, compiled by the artist's daughter and grandson, reveals Mary Newcomb as an acute observer of her surroundings, reproducing her copious sketches alongside more finished paintings and short diary extracts to draw out the many themes which preoccupied her throughout her career as an artist. Mary Newcomb's world was rural East Anglia, where she managed a small mixed farm with her husband Godfrey Newcomb. The working life of the countryside engrossed her quite as much as the cycle of nature: she noticed and relished everything, with as keen an eye for the color of the bridesmaids' dresses at a wedding as for the yellow and brown of a dragonfly's body. Mary's daughter Tessa Newcomb, also an artist, introduces the key themes of the book with short texts which provide fascinating insight into her mother's world. A reflective introductory essay by art critic William Packer considers Mary Newcomb's written diary observations alongside the poetic language of her art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julian Trevelyan: Picture Language follows the trail of a painter's visual language and motivation. The working life of Julian Trevelyan (1910-88) spanned more than 65 years. In that time he exhibited alongside Picasso, Miró and Dali, was a member of the British Surrealist group, an active participant in the Mass Observation Movement, taught both at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and wrote a number of books. After the Second World War his work was mainly concerned with depicting scenes around his Hammersmith home and the River Thames, where he lived with his wife Mary Fedden, as well as his travels around the world. Philip Trevelyan, Julian's son, takes us on a pictorial journey through Julian's life and presents here his personal view, offering insights from his researches and first-hand knowledge of life in Trevelyan's studio at Durham Wharf in London.

Book excerpt: Peter Lanyon was one of the most exciting and original landscape painters of the 20th Century. The only native-born Cornishman of the St Ives artists, Lanyon's representation of the land he grew up in was complex and passionate: for him it was part social history, part myth, part aesthetic. This book -- the first major assessment of Lanyon's work -- explores how the artist's words and paintings interrogate the very notion of how landscape is perceived and conceived. It tells of Lanyon's singular place within the 20th century's major art movements -- abstraction and the post-war British figurative tradition -- alongside his strong belief in employing landscape and place to explore questions of personal identity.

Book excerpt: This is the new compact hardcover edition of Mark Hearld's Work Book, the first collection of the artist's beguiling art. The artist Mark Hearld finds his inspiration in the flora and fauna of the British countryside: a blue-eyed jay perched on an oak branch; two hares enjoying the spoils of an allotment; a mute swan standing at the frozen water's edge; and a sleek red fox prowling the fields. Hearld admires such twentieth-century artists as Edward Bawden, John Piper, Eric Ravilious and Enid Marx, and, like them, he chooses to work in a range of media - paint, print, collage, textiles and ceramics. The works are grouped into nature-related themes introduced by Hearld, who narrates the story behind some of his creations and discusses his influences. He explains his particular love of collage, which he favours for its graphic quality and potential for strong composition. Art historian Simon Martin contributes an essay on Hearld's place in the English popular-art tradition, and also meets Hearld in his museum-like home to explore the artist's passion for collecting objects, his working methods and his startling ability to view the wonders of the natural world as if through a child's eyes.

Book excerpt: The exhibited works of Kurt Jackson (b.1961) do not necessarily reveal his day-to-day working practice. Behind his finished canvases are hundreds of sketchbooks borne out of his continual routine of making drawings, marks, notes, poems and scribbles. This book examines the importance of the sketchbook to Jackson. For Jackson, his sketchbooks are vital to the development and completion of his paintings. Often sketching while a painting evolves, the artist values each medium equally - the pages of his sketchbooks reveal how the hastily executed images can help him to work out what he wants to achieve on canvas, or simply capture a spontaneous image when there is not enough time to paint or draw properly. Illustrating mundane daily events and happenings as well as key moments, journeys and the overlapping ongoing project work, Jackson's sketchbooks are key to understanding his inspirations as an artist. Drawing on a selection of twenty sketchbooks, of differing sizes and a variety of media, this fascinating publication provides a rare insight in to the mind of a highly creative and original artist.
