Vera's Room
Vera's Room is the first monograph on the artist Maria Chevksa. Most celebrated for her evocative, almost edible, treatment of language in her paintings, Chevska explores the rich historical relationship between art and words. Her early work featured fictional extracts from Beckett, Kafka, and Raymond Carver poured onto the canvas in gestures echoing those of Jackson Pollock. More recently Chevska has incorporated new methods of working including sculpture and complex installation. The book also contains Chevska's latest project, the eponymous Vera's Room. This takes the exclusive shape of a scratch book printed on newsprint and forms the central piece of the book. It is a visual as well as textual collage where the artist and her alter ego, Vera Kasmiach, take a journey through film stills, press cuttings, found photographs and other ephemera. Vera's Room traces and documents Chevska's rich and complex work through texts and illustrations. Two specially commissioned essays provide an art historical and philosophical context to the work, while the lavishly illustrated art work section offers an exciting overview of Chevska's oeuvre to date. 130 colour & b/w illustrations

The Art of the Bird
The human history of depicting birds dates to as many as 40,000 years ago, when Paleolithic artists took to cave walls to capture winged and other beasts. But the art form has reached its peak in the last four hundred years. In The Art of the Bird, devout birder and ornithologist Roger J. Lederer celebrates this heyday of avian illustration in forty artists’ profiles, beginning with the work of Flemish painter Frans Snyders in the early 1600s and continuing through to contemporary artists like Elizabeth Butterworth, famed for her portraits of macaws. Stretching its wings across time, taxa, geography, and artistic style—from the celebrated realism of American conservation icon John James Audubon, to Elizabeth Gould’s nineteenth-century renderings of museum specimens from the Himalayas, to Swedish artist and ornithologist Lars Jonsson’s ethereal watercolors—this book is feathered with art and artists as diverse and beautiful as their subjects. A soaring exploration of our fascination with the avian form, The Art of the Bird is a testament to the ways in which the intense observation inherent in both art and science reveals the mysteries of the natural world.
