An insightful and much-needed introduction to the life and work of Malgorzata Mirga-Tas, a textile artist dedicated to celebrating the vibrant heritage of the Romani community. Malgorzata Mirga-Tas (b.1978) is a Romani artist and activist who is best known for her colourful textile collages. Made from materials gathered from family and friends, and often created in collaboration with other women, these works depict the everyday life of the Romani people to challenge stereotypical representations and form what she calls 'microcarriers of history'. This fascinating introduction explores the life and work of Mirga-Tas, contextualising her practice within Romani culture and the community in which she was raised. Bringing attention to the Romani people - their relationships, alliances and shared activities - through her visual storytelling, she also re-imagines artworks from across the centuries that have presented Romani identity in negative ways and transforms them into vibrant images imbued with strength and dignity. These works, informed by her feminist perspective and a sustained engagement with her community, combine realism with visual motifs of Romani culture, and offer a rare opportunity to see and celebrate the Roma on their own terms - both as a contemporary community and as a people with a rich heritage.

An insightful exploration celebrating the diverse and dynamic cultural impact of South Asian artists and filmmakers in twentieth-century Britain. This book will introduce readers to an array of South Asian artists active in the twentieth century, all of whom demonstrate such variety that they challenge the unifying category 'South Asian'. From Punjabi war veterans who came to fill labour shortages in the interwar period, through to South Asians from Uganda who settled in Britain after expulsion by Idi Amin in 1972, this book will explore how the South Asian diaspora responded to hostility and discrimination by turning to artistic production. Using a variety of media, they made artworks which demanded the colonial constitution of art history be interrogated, and the lives of South Asians to be transformed. These artworks, together with those by contemporary artists that draw from and reorient their ancestral legacies, have contributed to incisive theories of race, gender, nationhood and aesthetics - all of which come to bear on present debates on power in the art world and beyond.

Compelling and intimate, this collection of letters between the celebrated art critic and essayist John Berger and his son Yves, an artist, is a moving look at their musings on art, memory, life, death, and beyond. Composed of letters written between 2015 and 2016, some of the last written by John Berger, along with images of works by old masters and contemporary art and some of the Bergers' own drawings and watercolours, Over to You is an informal back-and-forth not unlike the ping-pong games father and son used to play in the barn of their house. It begins when John, who is in a Parisian suburb, sends Yves, who is in Haute-Savoie, an envelope of reproductions of art that have moved him. And so they begin to reveal their thoughts, looking at works by Goya, Watteau, Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Dürer, Caravaggio, Manet, and Euan Uglow, among many others. But the art is just a way to summon shared emotions and memories, as well as deepen their understanding of the world and its mysteries. John, at eighty-nine, is the more formal teacher; Yves, at thirty-nine, is the younger, philosophical artist. There are John's thoughts on everything from the use of colour, light and space in, say, a Dürer or a Beckmann to the question of 'staying fully alive.' Yves notes how much in life exceeds our understanding, the gap between our consciousness and our feeling, between the said and the unsaid. 'That's the zone where I would like us to meet. Are you coming?' he asks his father. 'I may need other eyes to confirm what is really there. Like your eyes always did.'This is an exceptional and moving tribute to a relationship between a father and a son, and between two artists, as well as a thought-provoking look at questions we all have about work, time, the universe, life, and death.

Taking you behind the lens during a decade of significant social and political change, discover the remarkable transformation of British photography in the 1980s, and its impact on art across the world. This book will trace critical developments in photographic art in the UK, made by a diverse range of photographers in and around the Thatcher era (1976-1993). Rather than presenting a comprehensive history, the book will showcase more than 70 lens-based artists, and reveal numerous small histories, known and unknown, presented by a constellation of image makers (particularly Global Majority photographers), photography journals, photographer collectives, and theorists. The publication will also pay close attention to the intersection between photography and the British Black arts movement, and to the theoretical developments in photography and representation from the perspectives of postmodernism and cultural theory by British scholars from the period, namely John Tagg, Victor Burgin, and Stuart Hall. Photographers include Don McCullin, Martin Parr, Ingrid Pollard, Sunil Gupta, Wolfgang Tillmans, Keith Arnatt, Vanley Burke, Sirkka-Liisa Kontinnen, Marketa Luskacova, Joy Gregory, Paul Graham, Ajamu X, and many more key figures.

Horses have appeared in works of art throughout history and across the globe, frequently as depictions of the horse in battle, as a form of transportation or within the settings of racing, hunting or breeding. Culturally, the horse is significant across the world. This book seeks to explore the long and rich trajectory of art focusing on horses and equestrian art from their historic use in battle or as tools in agricultural labour up to their representation as an allegory for wildness and power in modern art to the current fascination with horse racing and breeding. Offering in-depth explorations of over fifty artworks from the last 260 years mostly in western art, it explores the changing and fascinating relationship we have had with horses, from the classical paintings of George Stubbs to the subversive feminist performances of Rose English.

The arrival of photography changed the course of painting forever. In this publication, the dynamic relationship between the two mediums is explored through some of the most iconic artworks of recent times. From the expressive paintings of Pablo Picasso and Paula Rego to striking photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall, we see how these art forms have responded to and shaped each other in ways both small and large. We also discover how the boundaries between painting and photography have been blurred to create new and exciting modes of expression, such as Pauline BotyâEUR(TM)s pop paintings, Andy WarholâEUR(TM)s silkscreen prints, the photorealist works of Gerhard Richter, or Andreas GurskyâEUR(TM)s large-scale panoramic photographs. Featuring contributions from the artists featured as well as a series of spotlight essays by some of today's most exciting writers, Capturing the Moment provides a fresh and engaging overview of the relationship between the brush and the lens, and the way in which artists have turned to painting and photography to capture moments in time.
