Archibald Knox
With the publication of this present volume, the combined work of noted scholars of Knox's life and work, and the decorative arts of this important period (1895-1912), Knox's reputation will be firmly established alongside other great names in design such as C. R. Mackintosh, C. F. A. Voysey, Christopher Dresser, Josef Hoffman, Henry van de Velde and Hector Guimard. Containing not only essays that reveal new information about Knox's personal and artistic activities as well as the origins of his unique and compelling style with its inventive, sinuous Celtic knotting, this volume provides the most extensive collection of illustrations ever assembled of Knox's vast body of work. It will become the standard reference work on Archibald Knox for scholars, students, collectors and connoisseurs of 'the Liberty Style', Art Nouveau and British and European Modernist Decorative Art for years to come.

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections
This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
The Designs of Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co
Some 200 illustrations of objects designed by Knox.
The Cosmopolitan Interior
"Judith Neiswander explains that during these years liberal values - individuality, cosmopolitanism, scientific rationalism, the progressive role of the elite and the emancipation of women - informed advice about the desirable appearance of the home. In the period preceding the First World War, these values changed dramatically: advice on decoration became more nationalistic in tone and a new goal was set for the interior - "to raise the British child by the British hearth." Neiswander traces this evolving discourse within the context of current writing on interior decoration, writing that it is much more detached from social and political issues of the day."--BOOK JACKET.
