Hogarth is revealed not only as a key figure in British art history, but also as a major European artist. In what was a time of war (mostly) and peace (occasionally), of extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty...

(H/B) WILLIAM HOGARTH VISIONS IN PRINT
Taking its cue from the portfolio collections William Hogarth himself curated, this book gathers together a selection of his best loved and most inventive prints. Hogarth's pictures are among the most iconic of the eighteenth century - his cacophonous crowds, bustling streets, polite or not-so-polite companies, and all too revealing tales of human folly, vividly bring the world around him to life. Having first trained as an engraver, printing remained an important aspect of his art and success. It is in print that he is often at his most c...

(P/B) AUBREY BEARDSLEY
This richly illustrated paperback book explores the intense and prolific career of illustrator Aubrey Beardsley. Beardsley's subversive, sinuous black-and-white drawings and his own complex persona became synonymous with decadence before his career was cut short when he died of tuberculosis aged 25. In his work he alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humour and fascination with the grotesque - in his own words, 'a new world of my own creation... quite mad and a little...

(H/B) FRANCIS BACON
When 'Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucufixion' was exhibited in 1945 Francis Bacon (1909-1992) instantly became the most controversial painter in the country. By the end of his life his status as one of the giants of modern art was established. Andrew Brighton casts fresh light on Bacon's formation as an artist in gay and aristocratic bohemian London circles. He locates Bacon at the core of contesting ideas and values, while firmly grounding his reading of Bacon's work in an understanding of his working methods and technique...

Jackson Pollock (1912-56) was one of the most radical, influential and provocative American artists of the twentieth century.

(P/B) THE BLAKE BOOK
In a career that ranged over a turbulent era in European history, William Blake (1757-1827) produced one of the most singular and intense body of works in the history of art. Neglected and misunderstood in his lifetime, his extraordinary paintings, poetry and prints now enjoy an international reputation. Technically innovative, strikingly original, and highly personal in their symbolism, his images are both powerfully immediate in their effects and challenging in their complexity.
