Rebels and Martyrs
The mythical artist, heroic and rebellious, isolated and suffering, is the creation of late-18th-century Romanticism. Throughout the 19th century this powerful myth influenced the way people thought and wrote about artists and, more importantly, the way artists thought about––and depicted––themselves. Covering the period from the French Revolution to World War I, from Romanticism to the avant-garde, this catalogue considers how artists responded to this myth. The focus is on key artists and groups who self-consciously forged distinctive identities: the Nazarenes, Delacroix, Courbet, Manet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, the Nabis, and Schiele. The book includes an introduction, a chronology, and an overview of the myth of the artist in literature, as well as a beautifully illustrated catalogue section arranged according to such themes as Bohemia; Dandy and Flâneur; Priest, Seer, Martyr, Christ; and Creativity and Sexuality.
Magic in Art
Art is magic A great painting is not simply a matter of illustrating a scene as it is viewed by the eye. Artists go to great lengths to add effects of depth, focus, lighting and perspecive to their work to help draw the audience in. Not only that, but some artists, such as Escher, use optical illusions and other tricks to create works of unique fascination and to confound the visual senses.

Telling Time
"Can time pass in paintings? How can painters show movement in still, unchanging images? While a story normally takes time to tell, pictures offer their narrative all at once - they have no beginning, middle or end. How then can a still and silent picture tell a story that unfolds over time? Exploring these and other questions, Alexander Sturgis investigates the intriguing relationship between painting and time." "Hogarth's paintings of Before and After tell a simple (if somewhat scurrilous) story by using sequential images to show time's progress - a technique whose use can be traced from the earliest manuscript to the modern comic strip. In contrast Rembrandt's Belshazzar's Feast encapsula...
