John Hoyland
Scatter the Devils
Andrew Lambirth
A leading British painter, John Hoyland (1934–2011) gained early critical acclaim and went on to exhibit at the Serpentine Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts. Concentrating on his later work, and produced in collaboration with the artist, this book reproduces over 100 of his paintings and explores the processes that compelled him to create art to ‘inspire the spirit … liberate and fire the imagination’, and to refute the label of ‘abstract’.

The Art of AE Backus
Natasha Kuzmanovic
In a career spanning most of the 20th century Backus produced numerous paintings of Florida that now provide testament to its tropical past, with unspoilt beaches and tidal rivers edged with palms and mangroves, and the dramatic weather conditions it endures. With over 200 illustrations, this biography celebrates his life and art, revealing his talent and the humanitarian spirit that led him to mentor the group of African American artists known as the Highwaymen.

Featuring rarely seen work from painters including the pre-Raphaelite Simeon Solomon, Bomberg, Chagall, the ‘Whitechapel Boys’ and modern European artists, this well-illustrated catalogue celebrates the gallery’s centenary exhibition at Somerset House and offers a visual survey of art’s engagement with identity, migration and Jewish cultural heritage.

Bomberg
Sarah MacDougall;Rachel Dickson
Now considered a leading artist of the 20th century, David Bomberg (1890–1957) was heavily influenced by cubism and his radical style saw him expelled from the Slade School of Art. Marking the 60th anniversary of his death, and featuring over 100 reproductions of his work, this monograph reassesses his life and career, exploring his engagement with Jewish culture, his work as a graphic artist and his later achievements as a more expressionist portrait and landscape painter.

Robert Bevan
From Gauguin to Camden Town
Frances Stenlake
An avant-garde British artist of the early 20th century, Robert Bevan (1865–1925) studied in London, Paris and Pont-Aven, where he met Paul Gauguin in the 1890s. After his return to England and a period of painting in the countryside, he became a founding member of the Camden Town Group. This first comprehensive study of Bevan’s life and art is illustrated with the whole range of his work, including the well-known paintings of London’s working horses and cab yards.

Heath Robinson's Commercial Art
A Compendium of His Advertising Work
Geoffrey Beare
William Heath Robinson (1872–1944) wanted to be a landscape painter but lack of funds made him turn to comic art in 1906, and eventually drew him into advertising. This definitive study of his commercial art is arranged by theme – from heavy engineering to finance – and presents over 280 illustrations, including some of his finest contraption drawings from promotional booklets such as The Gentle Art of Excavating, An Unconventional History of Hovis and Then and Now for Port of Manchester Warehouses Ltd.

The Art of David Jones
Vision and Memory
Ariane Bankes;Paul Hills
Although David Jones (1895–1974) is now acknowledged as a great Modernist poet, his early training and vocation was in art, and throughout his life he combined word and image in work of great originality. Illustrated with 150 reproductions of engravings, drawings, watercolours and inscriptions, this study focuses on the key themes and sources of Jones’s artistic and intellectual inspiration to provide an accessible introduction to a complex artist and an appreciation of his visual language and symbolism.

Rembrandt by Rembrandt
The Self-Portraits
Pascal Bonafoux
Over the course of his life Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–69) painted more than a hundred self-portraits ranging from the good-looking young man sporting a military gorget in 1629, through sketches, paintings and appearances in larger subjects – including a single eye in The Night Watch – up to the old artist, portrayed twice in the months before his death. With reproductions of nearly all the self-portraits and commentary by the art historian Pascal Bonafoux, this volume records Rembrandt’s ‘incomparable undertaking’.

Cassatt

Introduced by two essays outlining her career and beliefs, the 50 examples collected here range from 1878 to 1914 and reveal the influence of Japanese prints and Renaissance paintings of the Madonna and child as well as Cassatt’s mastery of Impressionism.

The Encounter
Drawings from Leonardo to Rembrandt
Tarnya Cooper;Charlotte Bolland
Through discussion of 50 portrait drawings by artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, this volume of essays, reproductions and commentaries explores the creative encounter between artist and sitter. Discussing works by artists such as Bernini, Dürer and Holbein, the authors address a number of themes, notably the reasons why portrait drawings are produced, and the impact of developments in drawing on the practice of portraiture over a period of around 250 years. Originally accompanied a National Portrait Gallery exhibition.

Cézanne Portraits
John Elderfield
From the self-portraits of the 1860s to the several portrayals of Vallier, his gardener at Les Lauves, near Aix-en-Provence in 1905–6, Paul Cézanne painted around 160 portraits and they form an important, yet often neglected aspect of his art. This in-depth study and catalogue accompanied the first exhibition devoted to them, held at the National Portrait Gallery, 2018. Arranged chronologically, and illustrated with over 150 reproductions, the book includes essays, a chronology and information on the artist’s sitters.

Francesco Clemente
Works 1971-1979

Throughout the 1970s Francesco Clemente (b.1952) travelled regularly from Rome to India and created a body of drawings that question Western rationality and capitalism and helped define neo-expressionism. This collection of over 100 of his images focuses predominantly on his depictions of the human body, and the themes of spirituality, sexuality, myths and dreams that would influence his later paintings.

Revealing his versatility as a painter and sculptor, it demonstrates his subversive humour, exuberant use of colour and preoccupation with the human form, epitomized in his controversial ‘women as furniture’ pieces.
