‘Sun-drenched … charming’ Guardian ‘Intriguing’ The Financial Times ‘Deeply moving’ The Spectator ‘Clever … entertaining’ The Times ‘Excellent’ The Literary Review ‘Truly illuminating’ Edmund de Waal ‘Evokes an all-but-lost universe’ Sir Norman Rosenthal From James Cahill, author of the much-acclaimed Tiepolo Blue and The Violet Hour, comes a panoramic portrait of 1960s LA and Californian culture, seen through the eyes of a young David Hockney and the enigmatic socialite Betty Freeman. In the summer of 1966, David Hockney paid a visit to a wealthy Los Angeles art collector. Her name was Betty Freeman. He had intended to paint her swimming pool, but was rapidly entranced by Freeman herself. Hockney, soon to embark on a series of Los Angeles paintings that would become icons of their time and place, immortalized Freeman in Beverly Hills Housewife (1966-67), a sunlit vision of the collector on the terrace of her modernist h

An exquisitely illustrated reference guide to the symbolism of birds in art, myth and folklore throughout the ages. From the goldfinch in Raphael’s Madonna del Cardellino to the sacred ibis on an ancient Egyptian wall painting and the quetzal feathers of an Aztec headdress, birds have always held a special place in human culture and belief systems. For millennia, humanity has imbued them with symbolic significance and as a result they are a constant source of fascination. But where did such symbolism come from? Why do we view some birds as special, while others are seen as comical or simply as food? The Secret Language of Birds examines forty-two birds and the diverse roles they have played across civilizations. Written by renowned ornithologist Colin Rees, each individual profile offers a fresh perspective on our feathered friends, drawing from history, art, music, literature and folklore. These entries delve into the myriad ways peo

A journey through the mosque’s history and representation around the world, its role in society and its forms – ancient to contemporary – through the eyes of a young female Syrian architect. The mosque lies at the heart of any Islamic city – a place for group prayer, serenity and spiritual connection. Its exterior serves as a symbol of faith, a landmark and a point of gathering. Since the first mosque was built by the Prophet Mohammad in Medina in 622, mosques have been spaces where worship and social life flourish side by side. In this book, Marwa Al-Sabouni – architect, Muslim, Syrian, woman – interweaves her personal experiences and reflections to bring the reader inside the mosque to understand its spiritual meaning, social significance and enduring cultural value.
