Recommended Art Books, by astarti on Sept 13, 2020 17:56:12 GMT 1, I totally agree! One of my favourite paintings of his is "Young woman on the beach". I find particularly intriguing the subtle ambiguity of this painting: while it's pallet and theme seem so peaceful I find an intrinsic nostalgia and solitude conveyed. Yes, that’s beautiful, as is your description of it. One of my favourite books is a large tome called “Nordic Painting” published by Prestel. Beautiful book. It’s were I first came across Helene Schjerfbeck’s work; another artist whose work I’m very fond of. I have to admit that even though I have visited the national gallery in Oslo several times I was not aware of her existence and had to Google her. As I was scrolling down through various images of her paintings one struck me. It was 'Katkelma' ('Fragment' or 'Passage' both appropriate imho) , 1903 And although this has absolutely nothing to do with urban art, I cannot help my self, and just share this airy beauty with the forum. Apologies... And thank you @coach

Totally free, and you get a decent 'library' of your pictures when you log in which I always find handy. You probably shouldn’t have given me free reign to make any book recommendations I wanted.... because all this talk about technology makes me want to recommend this book:

truly, I highly recommend it.

The Henry Moore Back to Land is on sale in the shop at £2, also picked up a signed Sarah Stanton catologue/book that was also £2 in the shop.

Recommended Art Books, by met on Sept 17, 2020 3:03:26 GMT 1, You're welcome, but note there's also a key point that should have been mentioned earlier: Since I only have a landline and a laptop, I am clueless about Imgur's user-friendliness with a mobile phone. And I only have a mobile! I did buy a laptop a couple of years ago but within two weeks my eldest’s laptop died, so I gave him my new one. You will no doubt see if I’m successful! Thanks again met. That is unfortunate in relation to my own forum posts — which are not only drafted on a large screen, but also intended to be viewed and considered on one.
If I were forced to read some of my posts (and their wall of text) on a phone, I'd probably lose the will to live.

Very welcome. Coincidentally there was an exhibition of her work at the Royal Academy in London recently. The exhibition catalogue is not hugely expensive and is a lovely book.

Recommended Art Books, by brycepen on Sept 29, 2020 12:21:11 GMT 1, Thank you for posting. Haven't purchased this yet, but intend to. If a mere cover image can prompt others to do the same and even read a few pages, then that's a, er, win in my, er, book. I would encourage members to keep an eye on the author, Lily Cole*. Over the years, she has repeatedly impressed me. Just the fact she co-owns a book shop * should speak, er, volumes. Her response in 2018 to criticism for being chosen as a creative partner at the Brontë Parsonage Museum to commemorate the bicentenary of Emily Brontë's birth was also beautifully handled: www.nme.com/news/lily-cole-hits-back-at-critics-in-bronte-society-row-2206662www.lilycole.com/what-would-emily-bront-think__________ As for the subject matter of Cole's book, it appears comparable to one I highly recommend: Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress by the rather brilliant Steven Pinkerwww.amazon.co.uk/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570Here's a 2018 news interview with Pinker. The clip is superficial and brief (7:47), but still offers a reasonable overview and has the advantage of accessibility: Steven Pinker Discusses 'Enlightenment Now'- uploaded by WGBH News on 15 May 2018And just in case anyone requires further evidence of the present culture war between liberals and illiberals, even Pinker — who's about as thoughtful and levelheaded as a person can get — has recently been targeted by disingenuous "offence archeology" and the cretinism that is cancel culture. At the risk of being accused of hyperbole, this would arguably place us in the latter stages of First They Came. __________ Returning to Lily Cole, before promptly going off on another tangent, she's a helpful reminder of how great a band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege- uploaded by yeahyeahyeahsmusicYou are the forums walking talking encyclopedia. Much appreciated info, unlike my sloppy and lazy post.
Not going to lie; I’m just going to judge this book by its cover and buy it but skip the part where I actually read it.

I have a First Edition of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" from 1928 In rather good conditon.
I see them on eBay for GBP 200 and much more.
Maybe makes a lovely Xmas gift for someone. I'd be happy with GBP 150 + shipping & fees.
Plenty of pics available.

Whilst I'm on, received my Riley book today from Scottish Galleries, see above, that a right nice item for the price, £8.98.
Hardback, and all sorts of detail on Bridget's work - would recommend.

www.instagram.com/background_bob
The project is that Bob paints the backgrounds and participating artists add their work on top to create a collaboration with Bob. Huge number of artists involved including many that are discussed here. The work now forms part of an exhibition. Eventually the work will be sold for charity. The project was featured on the One Show a couple of days ago. It’s on another programme on Sunday morning. It really has captured the public’s support it seems.
The book is available from here

The book arrived yesterday and is smashing. I was proud to see 8Mail’s work included.
