beyond the Great Wave

The perfect armchair and gardening companion to the garden flowers of the British Isles. Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating tales of nineteen cultivated flowers and their journeys from distant corners of the world to British gardens, illustrated by the painter and printmaker Angie Lewin in this charming companion guide. The Book of Garden Flowers builds on the success of Angie Lewin's and Christopher Stocks' previous collaborations; The Book of Wild Flowers (Thames &amp; Hudson, 2024) and The Book of Pebbles (Thames &amp; Hudson, 2020.) While The Book of Wild Flowers explored the natural history of Britain's favourite wild species, The Book of Garden Flowers is more a social history, bringing into focus some of the remarkable people who introduced exotic plants to our gardens from around the globe, including: ¿ Margery Fish, secretary to six successive editors at the Daily Mail, who rescued many cottage garden flowers from obscurity ¿ Ellen Willmot, who employed over 100 staff in her garden and burned through a huge fortune thanks to her passion for plants, dying penniless and alone ¿ Charles Dickens, who became obsessed with a particular pelargonium ¿ John Gerrard, the famous 17th-century herbalist, who planted the first nasturtiums in the UK at his City of London garden ¿ Henry VIII, who ate the first British-grown artichokes on the outskirts of Chelmsford Revealing new stories behind some of our most familiar and unusual garden plants, this beautiful book explores the horticultural history and floral folklore of some of the nation's favourite flowers.

"Art has poisoned our life", proclaimed De Stijl co-founder Theo van Doesburg. Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of the First World War, from Paris to New York, from Zurich to Moscow and Berlin, avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Morgan Falconer starts with the dynamic Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto extolling speed, destruction and modernity seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. Falconer goes on to guide us through the Russian Constructivists and then De Stijl, the Bauhaus and finally, the Situationists.How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the interlocking networks of richly creative lives, their sometimes sympathetic but often strange and turbulent conversations, and their objects and writings that defied categorisation.

How to Be Avant-Garde

'A book full of heart - frank and confessional - that presents Emin at the zenith of her powers, having survived near-fatal cancer and found new purpose and conviction ... this concise, elegant and beautifully illustrated study, with Gayford's skilful and always apposite narrative, is as thought-provoking as it is readable, and I closed it with a greatly enriched understanding of the mysterious process by which life is transmuted into art' Ariane Bankes, The Spectator 'Gayford is an established confidant of painters, the artist-whisperer of Lucian Freud and David Hockney. He elicits a remarkable trove of information and opinion from Emin ... My Heart Is This is the story of how a dark stretch in her life led Emin to a new love and appreciation of paint and greater facility at the canvas. It will appeal to her many fans as well as the gallery crowd' Stephen Smith, Financial Times Tracey Emin talks about painting: what it is, why she does it, why it matters. Richly illustrated with photographs of the artist and her art, here is a vivid and intimate portrait of her life and work in her own words, in conversation with art critic Martin Gayford. Emin reflects on painting - how she approaches it, why it matters to her, and how it connects to her life - and how everything has changed since her cancer diagnosis. 'Every image has first entered my mind, travelled through my heart, my blood - arriving at the end of my hand. Everything has come through me.' Offering a uniquely personal insight into the artist's extraordinary life and career, Emin expresses herself in her characteristically frank, confessional style that is so familiar to anyone who has seen her paintings. This is Tracey Emin on her own terms: on learning to paint, on living her life after cancer, and relearning why painting matters to her above everything else.

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

Dog Only Knows

Antonio Canova invented a new genre with his Ideal Heads. They were intended as gifts for close friends and persons he admired as an expression of his affection and gratitude. Starting from the famous bust La Riconoscenza, this magnificent large-format volume offers an impressive survey of these unique expressions of friendship. Canova's masterpiece La Riconocenza (Gratitude) was long thought to have been lost. It is a tribute to his most important critic, the cultural theorist Quatremère de Quincy. The sculpture was commissioned by the artist Marquise de Grollier as a gift for their mutual friend. These three distinguished individuals left their mark on the cultural life of their time. The author traces the history of the genesis of La Riconocenza through their remarkable correspondence and integrates it into the context of Canova's Teste ideale.

Antonio Canova erfand mit den Idealköpfen ein neues Genre. Ausdruck seiner Verbundenheit und Dankbarkeit, waren sie als Geschenke für enge Freunde und geschätzte Persönlichkeiten gedacht. Ausgehend von der berühmten Büste "La Riconoscenza" führt der prachtvolle Band im Überformat diese einzigartigen Freundschaftszeugnisse eindrucksvoll vor Augen.Canovas lange als verschollen geglaubtes Meisterwerk "La Riconocenza" (Die Dankbarkeit) ist eine Hommage an seinen wichtigsten Kritiker, den Kulturtheoretiker Quatremère de Quincy. In Auftrag gegeben wurde sie von der Künstlerin Marquise de Grollier, als Geschenk an den gemeinsamen Freund Quatremère. Anhand eines außergewöhnlichen Briefwechsels zwischen diesen drei illustren Persönlichkeiten, die das kulturelle Leben ihrer Zeit prägten, spürt der Autor der Entstehungsgeschichte der "Riconocenza" nach und ordnet sie in den Kontext von Canovas Teste "ideali" ein.

This collection of 100 writings by Robert Rauschenberg reveals the artist's gift for prose and the importance of his relationship to language"Compelling. . . . Rauschenberg's writings öer candid, lyrical insights [that enrich] our understanding of not just what Rauschenberg made, but how he thought about making it, and why that matters to readers today."-Megan Fox Kelly, ObserverThe American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) won acclaim and awards for his diverse oeuvre that spanned six decades and included paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, and performance. Less well known is the role that writing played in his creative process. Rauschenberg self-identified as dyslexic and did not publish extensively, leading to the widely held assumption that he was not an artist who wrote. This book corrects the record, showcasing 100 passages, many published here for the first time, from Rauschenberg's robust body of written workComprising correspondence, artist notes, testimony, speeches, and more, this collection brings to light the artist's love of language and reveals that writing was, in fact, central to Rauschenberg's practice. The writings, illustrated with reproductions in the artist's distinctive hand, are infused with visual and intellectual lyricism, humor, and insight, and span topics from the freedom of artistic expression to environmental concerns. This beautiful volume, which also features an essay by artist Martha Tuttle (b. 1989) about why artists' writings matter, adds new depth to our understanding of Rauschenberg's life and work.Published in association with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation
