  • An opinionated guide to women painters

    £15.00

    From artists at the forefront of the Dutch Golden Age to avant-garde radicals in Soviet Russia and surrealist thinkers in exile, this book gathers together 65 painters from throughout history and across the world. Sometimes ignored – but always iconic – this highly opinionated guide will tell you everything you need to know, and nothing that you don’t, about the women behind the canvas (and quite a bit about what’s on the canvas too). Witty opinion is set alongside faithful colour reproductions in an elegant hardback that will persuade anyone that these painters are worth knowing about.

  • An opinionated guide to British art

    £15.00

    What’s so great about a Hogarth? Why should we care about a shark in a tank? What does it matter that they are both British artworks? This uncompromisingly pithy book will tell you everything you need to know, and nothing that you don’t, about 60 of the very best, most interesting, provocative and iconic British artworks from the dawn of history to the present day. Witty opinion is set alongside faithful colour reproductions in an elegant hardback that will persuade anyone of why British Art is so relevant.
