Book excerpt: Peter Lord, considered to be the greatest living scholar on Welsh visual art and culture, surveys the evolution of the visual culture of Wales from the Renaissance to the end of the twentieth century in this new, single-volume history. Written for everyone with an interest in the art and history of Wales, the volume illustrates some 400 landscapes and portrait paintings, prints and sculptures from artists such as Augustus John, Ceri Richards, Christopher Williams and many more. The author describes both how the work emerged from its Welsh historical context and was related to the art of other cultures. Revealing the many discoveries made since its first publication of the Visual Culture of Wales series in 1998, The Tradition is the only study now in print that encompasses the whole field of Welsh visual art. It is published with the support of the National Museum of Wales, The Paul Mellon Foundation, the National Library of Wales, the Marc Fitch Fund, Swansea University and the Welsh Book Council. Includes new and expanded material not originally featured within Lord's Visual Culture of Wales series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "None of us had the faintest idea where we were going [but] during 1938–39 . . . the town [Christchurch] was made strangely interesting for anyone like myself, [with the] scattered arrival of ‘the refugees'. All at once there were people among us who were actually from Vienna, or Chemnitz, or Berlin . . . who knew the work of Schoenberg and Gropius." —Anthony Alpers, 1985 From the 1930s through the 1950s, a substantial number of forced migrants – refugees from Nazism, displaced people after World War II and escapees from Communist countries – arrived in New Zealand from Europe. Among them were an extraordinary group of artists and writers, photographers and architects whose European modernism radically reshaped the arts in this country. In words and pictures, Strangers Arrive tells their story. Ranging across the arts from photographer Irene Koppel to art dealer and printmaker Kees Hos, architect Imric Porsolt to writer Antigone Kefala, Leonard Bell takes us inside New Zealand's bookstores and coffeehouses, studios and galleries to introduce us to a compelling body of artistic work. He asks key questions. How were migrants received by New Zealanders? How did displacement and settlement in New Zealand transform their work? How did the arrival of European modernists intersect with the burgeoning nationalist movement in the arts in New Zealand? Strangers Arrive introduces us to a talented group of ‘aliens' who were critical catalysts for change in New Zealand culture.

Book excerpt: An invaluable reflection on the legacy of Derek Williams (1929-1984), a Cardiff surveyor whose generous bequest of his art collection and entire net estate coincided with a reappraisal of the role and workings of the National Museum of Wales and led to the formation of the Derek Williams Trust in 1992. Concise, insightful chapters by writer and curator David Moore examine the quality and variety of artworks assembled by Derek Williams or supported by the activity of the Trust over a period of over 25 years, ranging from painting to ceramics, photography and digital media. Illustrated with a wealth of artworks from the Trust s collection and related exhibitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultures of the Countryside examines the relationship between the museum and the micro-cultures of the countryside. Offering an exploration of museums and heritage projects in the UK that have attempted to introduce new ways of engagement between localities, objects, and people, this book considers how museums, heritage initiatives, and art projects have dealt with pressing local and global socio-political issues relating to the environment and rural life, including changing demographics and rural practices, local environmental concerns, and global climate activism. Providing a thorough examination of the representation of competing histories, visions and politics, Sekules asks whether museums and heritage projects can engage actively in shaping cultures, as well as reflecting them. At the core of the analysis is an examination of the findings from a project in the UK’s East Anglia, ‘The Culture of the Countryside’, from which emerged themes closely bound to different countryside landscapes, peoples and heritage. Aimed at practitioners and students alike, Cultures of the Countryside provides a unique insight into the roles of the museum and heritage projects in rural and environmental issues in the recent past, whilst also offering perspectives and recommendations for the future.

Book excerpt: The visual arts in Wales are in ferment. The growing fascination in painters, installation artists, sculptors and those working in mixed and electronic media has been reflected both in booming sales and private gallery growth on the one hand and, institutionally, by new public gallery space, a first Welsh pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale and the worldwide Artes Mundi Prize. Here + Now offers a welcome and in depth survey of the visual arts in Wales, addressing as it does the practise of individual artists and the infrastructure in which they work. Here are essays on artists as diverse as established painters Ivor Davies and the late Ernest Zobole, through younger painters like Neal Howells, Elfyn Lewis and Sue Williams, to installation artist David Hastie and the internationally acclaimed performance artist Andre Stitt. Beyond the artist, author Iwan Bala explores what art might mean in Wales and to the Welsh, in essays about the representation of Welsh history and culture in the visual arts. He also discusses the controversial issue of how art is curated in Wales and who decides what the public sees.This stimulating book offers a snapshot of contemporary Welsh art and explores how it functions on the wider stage of world art.
