Abstract Expressionism
Published on the occasion of the artist's first exhibition with Haunch of Venison, Universal Recipient presents Jitish Kallat's engagement with the city of his birth, Mumbai. Interested in using language of the downtrodden, he appropriates the graffiti, peeling paint and broken glass of the city into the language of his work, addressing both the health of the nation and Mumbai's identity as an ever expanding megalopolis. Caste tensions, city planning, government ineptitude and social change are all part of the fabric Kallat weaves in his distinctive and Pop-inspired graphic style.
American Abstract Expressionism
This first volume in the Tate Gallery Liverpool Critical Forum series is derived from a conference held in conjunction with the display of Abstract Expressionist Painting from the USA, which was mounted at Tate Gallery Liverpool from March 1992 to January 1993.

The authors offer fascinating new perspectives, placing the artworks from this period in wider social and historical contexts. They explore these pai...
Impressionism
Defining an artistic era or movement is often a difficult task, as one tries to group individualistic expressions and artwork under one broad brush. Such is the case with impressionism, which culls together the art of a multitude of painters in the mid-19th century, including Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, and van Gogh. Basically, impressionism involved the shedding of traditional painting methods. The subjects of art were taken from everyday life, as opposed to the pages of mythology and history. In addition, each artist painted to express feelings of the moment instead of hewing to time-honoured standards. This description of impressionism, obviously, is quite broad and can apply to a wid...
