William Crozier
William Crozier was born in Glasgow in 1930 and educated at the Glasgow School of Art. He spent time in Paris and Dublin before settling in London, where he quickly gained a reputation as the 1950s equivalent of a Young British Artist through the early success and notoriety of his exhibitions of assemblages and paintings. This is the first major monograph on his work. Profoundly affected by post-war existential philosophy, throughout his life Crozier has allied himself and his work consciously with European art and thought. Early in his career he developed a highly personalized vision of nature, which in the 1960s and 1970s incorporated skeletal figures, making 'art that is as a razor slash'...
William Crozier
First published to accompany major retrospective exhibitions at West Cork Arts Centre and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), this full-color illustrated monograph explores William Crozier's whole career, taking in the second half of the twentieth century - a key period in the development of British and Irish art. The catalogue is furnished with essays presenting brand new research by renowned art historians and curators, Illuminated by unpublished sources and personal memoirs. What emerges is a picture of the continuum that runs through all of Crozier's work, revealing a fascinating narrative that, far from a story of transformation from darker, earlier imagery into the apparent hedonism...
John Linnell
John Linnell's career as a landscape and portrait painter lasted almost the entire nineteenth century. During its latter half he appears as England's most successful, certainly its wealthiest, landscape artist. But with the aesthetic fashions of the 1890s his reputation declined. Since then comparisons with William Blake, his early friend, and Samuel Palmer, his son-in-law, have outweighed consideration of Linnell's art on its own merits. This book catalogues a centennial exhibition of Linnell's paintings and drawings held in 1982-3, first at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and then at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven. It is the first book devoted to Linnell since Story's biography Of 1893. Katharine Crouan has selected from his prolific output some of Linnell's best portraits and landscapes. These are fully illustrated, some in a section of colour plates. Miss Crouan introduces the hundred items with a biographical outline and an essay which estimates Linnell's place in British art. She explains how at different stages in his career he fused his religious and artistic principles, producing latterly a popularly understood, morality landscape'.

Sun, Wind, and Rain
Born in Birmingham, England, in 1783, David Cox was destined to become a major figure in the linked worlds of landscape painting and watercolor painting in the first half of the nineteenth century. Remarkably, no significant study of the artist has been undertaken in more than a century. This beautifully illustrated volume focuses much-needed attention on Cox, filling in the details of his biography and illuminating his contributions to British landscape painting. Cox's widely-known Sun, Wind, and Rain, painted in 1845, is emblematic of his concern with the representation of light and atmosphere and weather. He was unparalleled in his ability to capture the effects of wind and weather. Scott...
