The Courtauld Cézannes
The Courtauld Gallery holds the most important group of works by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) in Britain. This book presents the entire collection for the first time, with major paintings such as the iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1887) and Card Players (1892-95) shown alongside rarely seen drawings and watercolors.
Emergency Noises
Art history traditionally concentrates on the visual, often at the expense of sound art. This book is about recent attempts by artists trained in (West) Germany to provoke listening experiences to awaken the ear. Their work is revolutionary in artistic terms and in what it reveals about human relations, especially concerning issues of gender.

The highlights of one of the most extensive and important collections of fine art anywhere.
Soutine's Portraits
Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) produced some of the most powerful and expressive portraits of modern times. Accompanying a major London exhibition that focuses on one of Soutine's most important series of portraits - of cooks, waiters and bellboys - this is the first time that this outstanding group of masterpieces has ever been brought together.
Art on the Line
On 1 May 1780, England's Royal Academy of Arts opened its twelfth annual exhibition, the first to be held in the magnificent rooms of William Chambers's newly built Somerset House. For the next fifty-seven years, the Great Room of Somerset House effectively defined the centre of the London art world - the place where viewers had to see and be seen, and where artists fiercely vied for the attention of potential buyers. Such great exhibition performers as Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence, John Constable, J. M. W. Turner and David Wilkie sharpened their skills during these stimulating decades. In this extensively illustrated book, seventeen renowned experts revisit and assess the Somerset House...
Self Portrait
This text celebrates the lives of artists and their unique perspective on themselves and their work. An impressive array of self-portraits is presented in this major survey of the genre from the fifteenth century to the present day.
Impressionism for England
The remainder of the book presents detailed catalogue entries that discuss all the French pictures in Courtauld's private collection; a complete, annotated checklist of his purchases draws on recently rediscovered original receipts, and an anthology of original texts illuminates the debates about the acceptance of modern French art in London's museums.
The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House
The renowned art collection originally built up by the industrial magnate Samuel Courtauld in the 1920s, and since greatly expanded thanks to generous gifts and bequests, is now permanently housed in the splendid architectural surroundings of London's Somerset House. The nineteenth-century core of the collection reflects Samuel Courtauld's policy of buying paintings by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. As a result of subsequent expansion, the collection bearing Courtlauld's name now also embraces important paintings ranging in period from the fourteenth century to the twentieth, including works by Bruegel, Rubens, Gainsborough, Goya, and Modigliani.
Court and Craft
The exhibition focusses on an Islamic inlaid handbag made in Mosul, northern Iraq about 1300. The bag was made for a lady in the courtly circles of the Mongol Ilkhanid dynasty established in west Asia by Genghis Khan's grandson, Hulagu. The bag, inlaid with gold and silver, features intricate geometric patterns and roundels with images of musicians and horsemen. No other object of this kind is known.
