Andrew Lambirth Book order

Focused on the unique artistic journey of Helen Clapcott, this monograph by Andrew Lambirth explores her dedication to depicting the transformation of North-West England's landscapes. Over her fifty-year career, Clapcott has consistently captured the evolution of her native Stockport, reflecting themes of destruction and regeneration. Through insightful conversations and a deep understanding of her techniques, including her mastery of tempera, Lambirth reveals Clapcott's profound connection to her childhood environment and her commitment to portraying its changing nature.

In this appealing new volume, Nigel Hall’s skill as a draughtsman is revealed, as is the importance of drawing to his sculptural practice.

Told in his own words, in response to questions from the writer and art critic Andrew Lambirth, this book chronicles Andrew Logan's life and work through expressive anecdote and factual recollection. Reflections is a look back, but also a look at the present and a look forward: it is about the meaning of Andrew's world and the sculpture he has made to fill it, and about his approach to art, to friendship and to living in London and Wales. The Alternative Miss World, founded by Andrew in 1972, is at the heart of his philosophy, not just the world's greatest drag act (though it is this too), but an exhilarating celebration of the transformative power of the imagination. Andrew's work, which is all about joy and beauty, is inspiring and uplifting. This book, based upon discursive interviews dealing with all periods of his career, explains and contextualises it fully for the first time.

This is an update and review of the first major study of the life and art of London-born painter and collagist Francis Davison (1919?1984). After reading English and Anthropology at Cambridge, he wrote poetry, and took up drawing in 1946. On marriage to artist Margaret Mellis in 1948, the couple settled in Suffolk where they ran a smallholding at Syleham before moving to Southwold.00By the early 1950s Davison?s paintings had become simplified shapes and it was not long before he ceased painting in favour of working in collage. Over the next 20 years reference to landscape disappeared and the colour range was extended. Davison relied entirely on found, used and unpainted papers, which were cut and fitted with great exactitude. By the end of his life he had developed a method of tearing paper that gave him complete mastery over his material.00A very private man, Davison shunned publicity and insisted that only the most basic information should accompany the showing of his work. Reflecting this, he never received the recognition his work deserved, and there was only one substantial exhibition during his lifetime ? at the Hayward Gallery in 1983 ? but critical attention has grown since his death in the mid-1980s. Davison?s work was greatly admired by many of his contemporaries, most notably Patrick Heron and Roger Hilton. He is now seen as a major abstract collagist, with exhibitions at many public and commercial galleries. His work is held in the Arts Council collection
