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.

McWilliam (1909-1992) was described by Bryan Robertson in 1992 as 'one of the truest artists to work in England this century'. Yet despite achieving great acclaim in his lifetime, McWilliam's contribution to modern art has been unduly neglected in recent years. This book, the first to include a comprehensive catalogue of the artist's sculpture, re-establishes McWilliam's considerable artistic reputation. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=9676&title_id=9386&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=9676&title_id=9386&calctitle=1 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT Denise Ferran and Valerie Holman This is the first book on British abstract painter and constructivist Adrian Heath (1920-1992), who was at the hub of Constructed Abstract Art in Britain in the 1950s and was to become the main link between the St Ives School and the London based Constructionists - Victor Pasmore, Mary and Kenneth Martin, and Anthony Hill. For the first time, Jane Rye paints a rounded portrait of Adrian Heath's life and career, presenting a first-rate selection of work from his entire oeuvre. Her text gives a clear account of the development of abstract art in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s in particular, and Heath's place within the theories and practice of abstract art in the post-war period in general. /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=9338&title_id=9059&calctitle=1 /default.aspx?page=643&edition_id=9338&title_id=9059&calctitle=1 Wed, 30 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Jane Rye
