Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "The Essential Artists" series from Tate Publishing are authoritative reference guides to the world's major artists, providing the essential information on each artist's work and career in an attractive, accessible and affordable format. Pablo Ruiz Picasso was the most prolific artist in the history of Western art. Born in 1881 in Malaga, southern Spain, he spent almost all of his productive life in France, dying in Mougins in 1973. In more than seven decades as an artist, Picasso finished two thousand oil paintings alone, along with sculptures, ceramics, collages, prints, photographs, drawings and jewellery designs. This new book, drawing extensively on recent research, will provide an overview of the whole range of Picasso's art and career. Uniquely, it takes a thematic approach, examining Picasso and poetry, Picasso and war, Picasso and 'disfigurement' - the fragmentation of the human form in his work - Picasso and play and Picasso's ruminations on the figure of the artist. The introduction looks at Picasso himself, and the myths that surround him, concluding that it is impossible to disentangle the man from his legend. Separate sections include extracts from Picasso's poetry and writings and from critics both contemporary and historic. Functioning both as an introduction for those coming fresh to Picasso's work and bringing new insights to those already familiar with his career, this important and at the same time accessible book is one of the most significant additions to Picasso literature in recent years. Neil Cox is Senior Lecturer in Art History and Theory at the University of Essex. He curated an exhibition called A Picasso Bestiary in 1995 and is the co-author of "Marcel Duchamp and Cubism".

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Comic Art - art that gains its effect through visual humour, caricature, exaggeration and slapstick, whether in print, reproduction or through the moving image - has long helped shape and inform British culture. This entertaining and irreverent history aims to present a wide-screen vision of comic art, from Hogarth to Spitting Image, from Michelangelo to The Mighty Boosh. Tackling the big themes of morality, politics, the bawdy and the absurd, from the eighteenth century to the present day, it will feature works by classic cartoonists and caricaturists, from Gillray, Rowlandson and Cruikshank, to Edward Lear, Heath Robinson, Oz and Viz magazine. Many of the greatest cartoonists and comic artists of recent years will be featured, including Steve Bell, Robert Crumb, David Low and Ronald Searle. Beginning with the origins of the caricature, the book's journey encompasses cartoons, comic books, film, photography, audio, new media and contemporary art. It will trace the development of different genres and techniques, and deal with the development of successive media, from the engraving through to the newspaper and the online blog. Humour is a weapon and a corrective. Over the period covered by the book it is seen to take on social commentary, politics, satire, sex, morality and the absurd. Politicians are remorselessly pilloried and pretensions pricked. The pious are revealed as hypocrites and the rich and famous as fools. Through extensive illustrations of classic and little known facets of comic art, the book succeeds in telling an alternative history of Britain. Leading critics will be joined by well-known comedians, cartoonists and historians, making this a very contemporary take on what is still a rich and vibrant seam in the public life of the nation.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Oppe collection is a group of watercolours, drawings, oil sketches and prints which were acquired by the Tate Gallery in 1996. The collection of around 3000 works dating from 1600 to the 1850s was assembled by the scholar and collector Paul Oppe during the first half of this century and was one of the most significant collections of British art to have remained in private hands. Amongst the finest works in the collection are a group of late 18th-century landscape views of Italy and Switzerland produced in the era of Grand Tour by Richard Wilson, Francis Towne, J.R. Cozens and William Pars - leading artists of the "Golden Age" of British watercolours from 1750 to 1850. This text accompanies an exhibition of 100 of the finest works from the collection which will open in August 1997 at the Tate Gallery, London and will then tour four centres in the UK. With each work catalogued and illustrated, this title acts both as a brief survey of the period as well as a celebration of the breadth of Paul Oppe's achievement.
