Author Yigal Zalmona describes the many ways in which Israel’s art has been influenced by its social and political history, surveying the early days of the Bezalel School, founded in 1906 in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement; Land-of-Israel art during an era of nation-building; the pre-eminence of international modernism and Lyrical Abstraction after 1948; social-activist and conceptual art in the 1970s; and the recent embrace of photography and video. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=12880&title_id=12497&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=12880&title_id=12497&calctitle=1 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT Yigal Zalmona Paul Nash (1889-1946) created an individual pathway through English art in the first half of the 20th century, shaping a body of work that recognised the importance of the modern movement and stimulated him to evolve his own English landscape-based Surrealism.

The working life of Julian Trevelyan (1910-88) spanned more than 65 years. In that time he exhibited alongside Picasso, Miró and Dali, was a member of the British Surrealist group, an active participant in the Mass Observation Movement, taught both at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and wrote a number of books. After the Second World War his work was mainly concerned with depicting scenes around his Hammersmith home and the River Thames, where he lived with his wife Mary Fedden, as well as his travels around the world. Philip Trevelyan, Julian's son, takes us on a pictorial journey through Julian's life and presents here his personal view, offering insights from his researches and first-hand knowledge of life in Trevelyan’s studio at Durham Wharf in London. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=12337&title_id=11963&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=12337&title_id=11963&calctitle=1 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMT Philip Trevelyan, with a Foreword by Mel Gooding Joan Eardley (1921-63) is considered to be one of the most influential Scottish painters of her generation.

The authors move far beyond the fundamental question of 'Is it genuine?' to themes and definitions surrounding authenticity as a concept operating across different periods and contexts.The chapters consider empirical aspects of art analysis but also more conceptual and theoretical understandings of authenticity. For example, is there such a thing as authentic presentation and display of artworks? Can the idea of authenticity be applied to subject-matter and style? How do the art market and the art world respond to the perceived authenticity of artworks? This book addresses a wide range of topics within the arts and will appeal to a broad readership, from students and art specialists to art-world enthusiasts. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=11972&title_id=11609&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=11972&title_id=11609&calctitle=1 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT Edited by Megan Aldrich and Jos Hackforth-Jones, with essays by Megan Aldrich, David Bellingham, Jonathan Clancy, Lis Darby, Natasha Degen, Anthony Downey, Sophie von der Goltz, Jos Hackforth-Jones, Barbara Lasic, Noël Riley, Bernard Vere and Morgan Wesley
