John Bellany was one of the most significant Northern European Expressionists of the modern era. As with all expressionists his art is highly subjective and autobiographical and his self-portraits range from carefully observed student studies to disguising himself in different roles within his epic pictorial narratives. This book concentrates on the role of self-portraiture in Bellany's art to trace and present the complex development of his artistic and personal obsessions and shows how he portrayed himself through a variety of mediums, including his private sketch books and a wide range of printing techniques as well as drawings and paintings. It includes a foreword by Helen Bellany, the artist's wife, plus an essay and interview from exhibition curators' Bill Hare and Sandy Moffat. Moffat's account charts his long-term friendship and collaboration with Bellany, from their time at art school up until the latter's death.

This book is concerned with the practice of being Banksy, focussing on the craft behind his art, the visual language he has adopted and prefers, his artistic habits and tricks.

Walking & Talking on the Here and Elsewhere explores what we do while we walk, be it talking or thinking, and how the act of walking has inspired writers.

Ray Atkins (b 1937) is one of the least well known major painters of his generation. He studied at Bromley College of Art in Kent before gaining a postgraduate place at the Slade despite having failed the National Diploma in Design in 1961. Teaching posts at Reading University and then Falmouth Art School followed, and the latter led to a 34-year stay in Cornwall. He painted the extraordinary landscape of the china clay country around St Austell with its colossal pits and mounds of micae, and the desolation left over by the demise of the tin mining industry. Intimate subjects of children, gardens, family life and inevitably the sea were also part of the ouevre. The nineties also saw a long series of works on the theme of dance. Peter Davies‿ text follows Atkins‿ journey from the dark but creative London period to the high spots in the eighties with a retrospective at the Royal West of England Academy and with work selected for the John Moores in Liverpool, a room at a Serpentine summer Show, and representation in shows at the Hayward gallery. David Stoker gives a personal and touching account of his discovery of Atkins in France, leading to a growing friendship and a deep understanding and respect for the work. Harvey‿s painting output was prodigious, and this book includes approximately 100 illustrations of his favoured subjects: the Cornish at work, children at play, and intimate interior scenes and conversation pieces. Many of his contemporaries in Newlyn were visiting ‿observers‿, but for Harold Harvey, who rarely went outside the county even though a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, painting the Cornish world ‿because it was there‿ was his whole life.
