Julian Trevelyan
Julian Trevelyan: Picture Language follows the trail of a painter's visual language and motivation. The working life of Julian Trevelyan (1910-88) spanned more than 65 years. In that time he exhibited alongside Picasso, Miró and Dali, was a member of the British Surrealist group, an active participant in the Mass Observation Movement, taught both at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and wrote a number of books. After the Second World War his work was mainly concerned with depicting scenes around his Hammersmith home and the River Thames, where he lived with his wife Mary Fedden, as well as his travels around the world. Philip Trevelyan, Julian's son, takes us on a pictorial journey through Julian's life and presents here his personal view, offering insights from his researches and first-hand knowledge of life in Trevelyan's studio at Durham Wharf in London.
The Gallery of Vanished Husbands
A moving story of family and a life-long love affair in 1950s London, from the New York Times bestselling author of The House at Tyneford. London, 1958. It's the eve of the sexual revolution, but in Juliet Montague's conservative Jewish community where only men can divorce women, she finds herself a living widow, invisible. Ever since her husband disappeared seven years ago, Juliet has been a hardworking single mother of two and unnaturally practical. But on her thirtieth birthday, that's all about to change. A wealthy young artist asks to paint her portrait, and Juliet, moved by the powerful desire to be seen, enters into the burgeoning art world of 1960s London, which will bring her fame, fortune, and a life-long love affair.

Earthly Delights
Mary Adshead was one of the most gifted mural painters of the twentieth century, creating light-hearted images that signified a major shift in mural art away from the didactic style of Victorian and Edwardian muralists. Earthly Delights celebrates the work and life of Adshead and explores her impact on mid-twentieth-century painting. The distinguished contributors to this catalog chronicle the distinctive periods of Adshead's career and recast her as a prominent figure in European modernist art. They examine such issues as Adshead's schooling at the Slade; the years when she painted murals and panels for Samuel Courtauld and the library of the ocean liner Queen Mary; her frequent public building commissions throughout the 1940s, '50s, and '60s; and the matte painting she created for the film Cleopatra. The volume also features a wealth of illustrations, including full-color reproductions of her works and a map of their locations. Published to coincide with a touring exhibition, this volume offers a fascinating look at an overlooked pioneer of mural art.
