Wherever she is working outside, from the remote coastline of her native Scotland to the mountains of Andalucia and the Arizona desert, this artist responds to what she sees in her sketchbooks. Published here, these studies provide themes and motifs for her paintings and prints, but they also stand alone as sensuous evocations of the landscapes to which she is so attached.
In 2015 Barbara Rae travelled to Greenland on the trail of her namesake and fellow Scot, the surgeon and explorer Dr John Rae (1813-1893). Captivated by the 'wild sort of life', he travelled to the Arctic in 1846, learning local languages and survival techniques. His enlightened co-operation and collaboration with the Inuit - almost unheard of at the time - allowed him to discover the fate of Sir John Franklin's lost 1845 expedition, and to confirm the existence of the Northwest Passage, the maritime link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This book is the artistic result of Barbara Rae's extraordinary journey. Through the artist's deft handling of colour and line the frozen landscape of the Arctic jumps into life from the page. This special publication takes the reader on a journey of discovery from Scotland to the Arctic, and back again. Her vivid images are combined with insightful texts from authors including the Inuit leader and advocate Tagak Curley, the architect Ian Ritchie and the celebrated art critic Duncan Macmillan, as well as contributions from the artist herself.
These sketchbooks, the work of the acclaimed Scottish artist Barbara Rae CBE RA during her three journeys towards the Northwest Passage in the depths of the Arctic Circle in 2015, 2016 and 2017, record in colourful and assured brush strokes the icebergs, frozen bays and snowdrifts of this often hostile landscape. Polar bears, caribou and the Northern Lights all make appearances, accompanied by Rae s handwritten notes in which she records her experiences and her immediate reactions to this harsh, unforgiving environment. Each page of the sketchbooks is meticulously reproduced, and the handsomely bound volume sit comfortably in the hand, making it the perfect gift for anyone interested in painting or exploration. SELLING POINTS: * Barbara Rae's sketchbooks bring the frozen plains of the Arctic immediately to life * Replicates the look and feel of the original sketchbooks Also available: Barbara Rae: The Northwest Passage ISBN 9781910350980
When this book was first published as a bestseller in 1960, reviewers noted that the 400-year history of Ranchero Dos Pueblos mirrored in microcosm the history of California itself. Dos Pueblos bears one of California’s oldest place-name, christened by Cabrillo during his voyage of discovery in 1542. Dubbed a “royal rancho” by historians because it was a gift of King Carlos III of Spain, Dos Pueblos was intended to support Mission Santa Barbara during the presidio period following Santa Barbara’s founding in 1782. The first private owner, Irish-born Nicholas A. Den, a medical man, was awarded ownership of the ranch in 1842 by Mexican governor Juan B. Alvarado. When Col. John C. Fremo...
Hampshire’s County Hospital was founded in 1736 by Alured Clarke, in Colebrook Street in what had been a house belonging to the nuns of St Mary’s Abbey. The Hospital moved in 1759 to a new building in Parchment Street, designed at least in part by John Woods the younger. There it stayed for almost a century, during which time its medical staff gained recognition as skilled physicians and surgeons. By the time Jane Austen came to be treated during her final illness it already had a considerable reputation as a teaching hospital.
