David Reed Paintings
This book documents the work of contemporary artist David Reed (b. 1946), who from his earliest paintings in the 1970s to his more recent work has continually challenged notions of modern and postmodern art. Reed's choice of long horizontal and vertical formats for some of his work was an influence of film and photography, and his recent integration of mediums has furthered his resourceful aesthetic. As David Reed noted in his interview in Between Artists, "Painting can reflect our current environment, it has to be radically reinvented to be relevant to the present. I want my paintings not to be nostalgic or sentimental-that means they have to be about this moment. A corollary of that is that they should be an integral part of life, not separated in museums or galleries".

Ronsard and the Age of Gold
The Age of Gold was one of the so-called 'commonplaces' inherited by the Renaissance from classical antiquity, a myth (taking many different forms) telling of an era of human happiness without war or want. Most writers used it as a convenient device, predicting its return as an age of peace and plenty upon the accession of a ruler or the signing of a treaty: others moralized it as a reformed or spiritually regenerated society. Elizabeth Armstrong's search for an answer to this question has entailed a study of a wide range of possible influences, classical, medieval and contemporary, and an examination of neglected areas of Ronsard's own vast literary output. Most of all an explanation is sought in his temperament and tastes, which made the theme of the Age of Gold at one period in his life a welcome vehicle for poetry expressing his love of freedom and his sensibility to untouched nature.
