An indispensable introduction to the life and work of Barbara Hepworth, whose sculptures expanded the possibilities for art within modern society, and revealed how it can express human relationships with our surroundings. ?Barbara Hepworth (1903-75) was a leading figure in modern sculpture during the twentieth century, whose prolific career spanned over five decades and bore witness to a period of great political and social change. Inspired by the natural world, Hepworth's sculptures reflect her high regard for the landscape, but also her deep engagement with art's civic function and its relationship to our social environment. This concise book is the perfect introduction to Hepworth's remarkable life and work. Contextualising her career from her beginnings in London, carving with wood and stone, to her relocation in Cornwall, and the pivotal point when she turned to metal casting, and started creating the monumental sculptures which cemented her international reputation, it celebrates the mastery and determination of an extraordinary artist whose work continues to inspire today.

A fascinating introduction to the life and work of John Constable, highlighting key aspects of his innovative practice and the ways in which he brought a new vivacity to the observation of nature in nineteenth century art. John Constable (1776-1837) is one of the greatest landscape painters of all time. Inspired by nature and the ever-changing British weather, he dedicated his career to capturing the beauty of the natural world, often painting in the open air and, rather radically, making expressive sketches in oil on the spot. His idyllic, nostalgic depictions of nineteenth-century rural life are iconic: attentive to detail, spontaneous in gesture and bold in their use of colour, they are imbued with a sense of drama and narrative, conveying feelings of happiness and sorrow, love and friendship. But they also possess a clarity of expression borne of familiarity: preferring to paint the places he knew and loved, it is Constable's landscapes which demonstrate an emotional connection, a true sense of place, that are among his greatest works. Charting Constable's remarkable trajectory from his childhood and adolescence in rural Suffolk to his death in London at the age of sixty, this book is the perfect introduction to the life and work of the acclaimed artist. Bringing together a selection of paintings, drawings, sketchbooks and prints from across his career, it highlights key aspects of the artist's innovative practice and the influences that shaped his artistic vision, revealing a masterful use of light and colour, and his immense contribution to the landscape tradition.

A captivating visual exploration of fashion and modern style as seen through the eyes of artists across the globe Ever since the emergence of the seasonal fashion industry in the 19th century, artists have been engaging with fashion’s impact, meaning, and forms in their artwork. In portraits, the clothes that sitters wear are often revelatory about their wider context or identity, or hold some symbolic meaning. As time has passed, small sartorial details artists used to provide visual praise or condemnation of their subjects have lost their legibility. Exploring the rich variety of ways in which artists in Britain have engaged with these possibilities within their work, this book examines the intricate relationships between the history of modern art and fashion. Offering in-depth explorations of over 50 artworks from the last 150 years, it explores the ways modern fashion has featured within art and, in some instances, the ways art has, in fact, become fashion. Discover the relationship between the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the creation of the London department store Liberty; the free advertising Burberry received in paintings of the First World War, and how London’s “Swinging Sixties” scene led to the creation of some of the most important and powerful artworks of the 20th century.
