British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections
This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
Frederick Gore, CBE RA
Frederick Gore: Retrospective III includes texts and poems from friends and family and extracts from his own essay 'Painting: some basic principles'. Highlights include Gore's classic landscapes - Greece, Majorca, France and his London home - and a selection of highly regarded paintings that will be premiered in the gallery simultaneously to the book launch. Rare works including several female nudes, still lifes and landscapes hitherto unseen have been made available to this unique retrospective show and feature in the publication. Frederick John Pym Gore was born in 1913 in Richmond, the son of Spencer Gore, a leading post-impressionist affiliated with the Camden Town Group. Widely collected, Frederick Gore is celebrated for his distinctive and unrivalled contribution to British Art.
