Lines of Vision
In this beautifully illustrated anthology more than fifty acclaimed Irish novelists, playwrights and poets - including Seamus Heaney, Colm Tóibín and Roddy Doyle - explore ideas and tell stories about art, love, family, dreams, memory and places using pictures from the over 15,000 works of art in the National Gallery of Ireland as inspiration. The artworks and the literary responses to them are wonderfully perceptive and, at times, deeply personal, inviting us to look at art in new lights and from different angles. The book is published to mark the 150th anniversary of the National Gallery of Ireland. Janet McLean is Curator of European Art, 1850 - 1950, at the National Gallery of Ireland.

Beyond Caravaggio
A fascinating examination of Caravaggio and others who adopted his dramatic style of painting The Italian painter known as Caravaggio (1571-1610) claims a place among the most revolutionary figures in the history of art. His intense naturalism, almost brutal realism, and dramatic use of light had a wide impact on European painters, including Orazio Gentileschi, Valentin de Boulogne, and Gerrit van Honthorst. Each of Caravaggio's followers absorbed something different from his work, propagating his stylistic legacy across Europe. In this extensively illustrated catalogue, Letizia Treves introduces the international Caravaggesque movement and traces the distinct artistic personalities of its l...
100 Artists' Manifestos
In this remarkable collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years, Alex Danchev presents the cacophony of voices of such diverse movements as Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Feminism, Communism, Destructivism, Vorticism, Stridentism, Cannibalism and Stuckism, taking in along the way film, architecture, fashion, and cookery. Artists' manifestos are nothing if not revolutionary. They are outlandish, outrageous, and frequently offensive. They combine wit, wisdom, and world-shaking demands. This collection gathers together an international array of artists of every stripe, including Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dalí, Oldenburg, Vertov, Baselitz, Kitaj, Murakami, Gilbert and George, together with their allies and collaborators - such figures as Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas. Edited with an Introduction by Alex Danchev
