-National Portrait Gallery Publications (29 Oct 2004)-. Exhibition catalogue. 280x240mm 176 pages. Illustrated. Softback. Fine. As one of the great portrait painters of the nineteenth century, George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) is best known for his 'Hall of Fame' series showing the noted contemporaries of his day. This series forms the cornerstone of the National Portrait Gallery's collection in London, but the wider importance of Watts's portraiture has never been fully appreciated since many works are in private collections and some have never been published. Timed to coincide with the centenary of his death, this book is the first major study of this aspect of Watts's work and provides a unique opportunity to see many of the artist's grand full-lengths, often strikingly beautiful and most hardly known, as well as the wide range of his portraits, from society beauties to eminent Victorians, dating from the 1840s to the end of the century. Watts was one of the celebrities of Victorian London,… Read More

-Tate Publishing (15 Oct. 2002)-. Exhibition catalogue. First paperback editon. 295x235mm 296 pages. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Paperback. Very good indeed. This work looks at the art of Thomas Gainsborough, widely acknowledged as one of the great masters of the 18th century. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Tate Britain the text aims to demonstrate the sheer range, quality and originality of this artist's work. It intends to present a new angle of the artist, exploring his studio practice and innovative use of colour as well as highlighting the inventiveness and complexity of his techniques. Gainsborough shunned the theory-led practice of the Royal Academy in preference for an art based on pleasure over convention, this volume draws on the view that his work has a continuing significance for British culture today.

-Liverpool University Press, 1999-. First edition. 285x200mm xvi+325 pages with index. 185 illustrations in color and black and white. Cloth. Very good indeed in dustjacket. Thomas Gainsborough has been celebrated as a lanscapist whose pictures evoke his love of the countryside, as a portrait painter of exactness and vivacity, and as a rhythmic and spontaneous draughtsman. Such judgements have persistently created a difficulty for art criticism. Gainsborough's work is not satisfactorily accounted for by the classicizing academic criteria which aspired to be the official art theory of his period. It is not sufficient to label him an anti-intellectual, natural genius. Paying equal attention to portraits, landscapes and fancy pictures, this work aims to demonstrate that Gainsborough's work demands an alternative explanatory framework. Analysis of individual pictures, supp orted by illustrations and citations, suggest a variety of 18th-century contexts for Gainsborough's achievements: the populist and… Read More

-Antique Collectors' Club Ltd (5 Dec. 2013)-. Catalogue. First edition. 305x240mm 240 pages. Illustrated in colour. Cloth. New. Unopened in publishers original shrink-wrap. Fine in dustjacket. Although renowned for his work as a verrier, lamps did not form a significant part of Gall�'s repertoire in glass until immediately prior to 1900. Indeed, only in the last few years of his life does it appear that he realised the full aesthetic potential of opalescent glass viewed by transmitted light. In an Art Nouveau context, Gall�'s creations reached their apogee between 1900 and his death in 1904, a brief period during which he adapted the shape of much of his glassware to its theme. Vases decorated with lilies became lily-shaped in a marriage of form and function. Fully-ripened gourds pendent on their vines glowed from within at the touch of a switch. Mushroom lamps brought the concept to full embodiment in the metamorphosis of the giant fungi into light fixtures. This comprehensive volume catalogues the… Read More
