Argues that sacred art is not synonymous with art on religious subjects, and analyzes sixty-five twentieth-century works which display the intense and personal commitment characteristic of the sacred.
Collins Complete Artist's Manual
This is the definitive artist's reference source book on art materials and painting techniques with more than 1300 colour illustrations. Collins Complete Manual covers all the painting and drawing materials available to the artist today and also conveys the sheer joy and excitement of creating art. In addition, it contains a structured painting course from simple exercises to more advanced projects, with demonstrations by well-known practising artists who share their successes (and setbacks) with the reader. Contents include comprehensive information on drawing and painting media along with hints and tips on how to set up your own artist's studio. The book contains advice on making the most of colour, composition and drawing and sketching techniques in your work. There are even suggestions on what to paint and draw in order to get you started on that art project that is just waiting to happen. Collins Complete Manual is visually rich and exciting, practical and comprehensive, and no artist's studio should be without it.

Embracing the Exotic
Jacob Epstein and Dora Gordine were members of the group of talented Anglo-Jewish artists - the Whitechapel Boys and their associates - who were all born, raised or worked in London's East End during the first three decades of the twentieth century. They had a significant impact on twentieth-century British art and their contribution to British Modernism was especially valuable. This fascinating comparison of two contrasting British-based emigre sculptors examines how both figures responded to and were inspired by non-Western cultures in much of their work to create an extraordinarily rich and sophisticated visual vocabulary, which resonates as much in today's multicultural society as it did...

Designing Liners
This in-depth history of the interior design of ocean liners surveys the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping, from commissioning by the line owners, methods and sources for the original creation of designs through to its construction, use and influence. It is a short-lived branch of architecture and design, lasting an average of fifteen years. As the design and taste mirrors and reinforces cultural assumptions about national identity, gender, class and race, not only did the interiors of ocean going liners reflect the changing hierarchies of society and shifting patterns in globalization, but the glamour and styling of the liners were reflected back into the design of interiors on land. Combining design history, architecture history, material and visual cultures, Designing Liners is a richly multidisciplinary work for those studying or researching this application of interior design.
