An art book about art that has a purpose, focusing on work by Quentin Blake that has been commissioned for a particular place or for a particular use. Illustration is the most accessible visual artform and one that is used in all aspects of life; as Quentin Blake says, 'it is, if you like, a vernacular; it's a language that everybody understands. They may look at it and not think that they're looking at art, but it's having the effect on them of art. It's a language that everybody can read, so to speak.' The work here shows Quentin using this vernacular to great effect and for very different purposes. In 2007 when Elizabeth II was opening the new Eurostar at St Pancras, Quentin was asked to hide an unsightly building across the road. He drew a 2-colour illustration on his drawing board showing a cast of characters that you might meet on a London Street; this was then blown up large enough to wrap a five-storey building. Since then he has found other opportunities for site specific work. Here are beautiful drawings of new-borns, mothers and fathers in a maternity hospital in France. Some images were etched, larger than life-size, on the external glass of the building as well as used in corridors and delivery suites. Most recently Quentin has done a series of drawings of everyday life for the family rooms for prisons across the UK. And charities have benefited from Quentin's enjoyment of drawing for a purpose; the Roald Dahl Marvellous Charity's logo and cards; for Comic Relief's two virtual pantomimes during lockdown, he drew the scene changes for Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast which were then auctioned; he created a rainbow for the NHS trust mug, and posters for Islington Libraries to encourage reading. All these and more are featured in this charming book, which opens with a foreword by Quentin Blake, and includes photographs of him at work.

The Sketchbooks

A revelatory collection of the artist's sketches and preparatory drawings, featuring many that have never been published beforeThe great Russian modernist painter and theorist Wassily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstraction in Western art. Few documents provide more insight into his evolution from figural to abstract art-or into the development of abstraction in the early twentieth century-than the pages of his sketchbooks. Featuring previously unpublished drawings, Wassily Kandinsky: The Sketchbooks is a comprehensive selection of hundreds of sketches from twelve notebooks Kandinsky kept between 1889 and 1935. Beginning with early figure studies, architectural sketches, and landscapes, the notebooks reveal a process of exploration that would lead Kandinsky from his first experiments in geometric abstraction to paintings that reshaped modernism. Demonstrating Kandinsky's mastery of color, line, shape, composition, and movement, the book includes notes and preparatory studies for major paintings, such as the "analytical drawing" for Composition VII (1913), the first study for Several Circles (1926), and Study for Composition IX, a preliminary working of his 1936 masterpiece. Visually stunning, the book offers a remarkable, intimate look at how Kandinsky sought to discover nothing less than a spiritually transcendent form of art.

A long-overdue publication by a founding member of feminist collective fierce pussy, Yamaoka's first monograph explores the artist's cross-disciplinary creative practice over several decades.Initially a student of photography and fascinated by the camera's ability to record and its inability to represent, Carrie Yamaoka has expanded her practice to explore themes of record and transformation across painting, sculpture, and installation. Her eye-catching, sometimes technically incomprehensible works examine how materiality, process, and form connect by calling to the viewer's attention the topography of surfaces, the tactility of the barely visible, and the chain of planned and chance incidents that determine the outcome of an art object.On view, Yamaoka’s artworks can both reflect and become the spaces in which they are displayed. Often revisiting her earlier works after five, ten, or twenty-five years, the artist is known for converting paintings into sculpture, texts into photograms, or the recto of a piece into the verso, ultimately questioning how the visual experience and orientation of an object defines its form for an audience.Yamaoka is an original member of fierce pussy, a collective of queer women artists founded in 1991. Launched during the AIDS epidemic and political mobilization around LGBTQ+ rights, fierce pussy used readily available materials—old typewriters, found photographs, printing supplies, and other day job equipment, for example—to bring lesbian visibility to the streets. The collective consists of Nancy Brooks Brody (1962-2023), Joy Episalla, Zoe Leonard, and Carrie Yamaoka and it continues to produce work in the present. Yamaoka's work is included in the collections of the Buffalo AKG Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Henry Art Gallery, and Centre Pompidou.

Penguin Modern Classics

A rich, thought-provoking collection of essays, critiques and interviews from the influential author of Ain't I a Woman and All About Love'If one could make a people lose touch with their capacity to create, lose sight of their will and their power to make art, then the work of subjugation, of colonization, is complete. Such work can be undone only by acts of reclamation.'In a collection of essays, critiques and interviews, bell hooks responds to the ongoing dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticising art and aesthetics in a world increasingly concerned with identity politics. hooks shares her own experience of the transformative power of art whilst exploring topics ranging from art in education and the home to the politics of space and imagination as a revolutionary tool. She positions her writings on visual politics within the ever-present question of how art can be empowering within the Black community. Speaking with artists such as Carrie Mae Weems and Alison Saar, and examining the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Art on My Mind is a generous and expansive body of work that has become increasingly relevant since it was first published in 1995. Here is an essential tool for understanding the contemporary moment, and a fundamental text for any reader concerned with making and sustaining a democratic artistic culture.

A long overdue evaluation of John Walker's work from the last half century.

John Walker

In his time, the Austrian American composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) was an international icon. His twelve-tone system was considered the future of music itself. Today, however, leading orchestras rarely play his works and his name is met with apathy, if not antipathy. With this interpretative account, the acclaimed biographer of Toscanini finally restores Schoenberg to his rightful place in the canon, revealing him as one of the twentieth century's most influential composers and teachers. Sachs shows how Schoenberg, a thorny character who composed thorny works, raged against the "Procrustean bed" of tradition. Defying his critics-among them the Nazis, who described his music as "degenerate"-he constantly battled the anti-Semitism that eventually precipitated his flight from Europe to Los Angeles. Yet Schoenberg, synthesising Wagnerian excess with Brahmsian restraint, created a shock wave that never quite subsided and, as Sachs powerfully argues, his compositions must be confronted by anyone interested in the past, present or future of Western music.
