Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Paper-covered boards. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. This book was started as a memoir of my mother and subsequently developed into something more like a diary, covering my recollections of a post-war childhood in Worcestershire, an art-school education and subsequent obsessions. It may be read in the light, or perhaps one should say in the shadow, of its political history. So begins an irresistible sequence of reflections by Tess Jaray RA. Whether providing insights into the mind of an artist, or recounting the eccentricities of her singular childhood, 'The Blue Cupboard' is a consistently characterful, humorous and life-affirming piece of writing. Jaray is a painter and printmaker whose work is characterised by the enigmatic interaction of forms and colours. In 2010 she published a book of her collected writings, Painting: Mysteries and Confessions (RA Publications). She has also created imagery to accompany the work of W. G. Sebald. She has artworks in many public collections, including the Tate and the British Museum, and her paving designs can be seen in Centenary Square, Birmingham, St Mary's Church, Nottingham, and the forecourt of Victoria Station. AUTHOR: Tess Jaray is a printmaker and painter. She has taught at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. In 1995 she was made an Honorary Fellow of RIBA (Royal Institute for British Architects) for her public art projects. SELLING POINTS: * Jaray gives the reader a rare and sincere glimpse into the life of an artist * The Blue Cupboard moves from heartfelt personal experience - such as the escape of Jaray and her family from the oppressive climate of 1930s Europe to rural Worcestershire - to musings on the creation and experience of art * Jaray writes with assurance on an intriguing variety of topics, from Samuel Beckett to printing techniques, and from Amy Winehouse to urban foxes 30 colour Entertaining and provocative in equal measure, the art of Allen Jones RA was at the forefront of the British Pop Art movement in the early 1960s. Since then, his highly erotic imagery, subversive humour and exuberant use of colour have been hugely influential, not just in the art world but across fashion, graphic design, film and music. This book explores the full range of Jones's fifty-year career, from his early art-school experiments in capturing movement, through his famous and controversial 'women as furniture' sculptures, to his continuing preoccupation with the human form. AUTHOR: Natalie Ferris is a writer and critic. She has contributed to Frieze, the Guardian and the White Review and is English Editor of the Korean architecture journal Space. Marco Livingstone is an art historian and independent curator. He has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogues, including David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, also published by RA Publications. Sir Norman Rosenthal was Exhibitions Secretary at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1977 to 2008. He is now an independent curator. SELLING POINTS: * Allen Jones is one of the world's most controversial and celebrated pop artists * He is best known for his provocative and erotic painting and sculpture, particularly his 'Women as Furniture' series * Written by experts, the book includes a chapter exploring Jones's work from a feminist viewpoint 80 colour.…

Entertaining and provocative in equal measure, Allen Jones RA was at the forefront of the British Pop Art movement in the early 1960s, alongside Royal College of Art contemporaries David Hockney RA, Derek Boshier and Peter Phillips. Despite, somewhat extraordinarily, being expelled from the RCA after a year, as 'an example' to similarly independent-minded students, Jones has been hugely influential, not just in the art world but across fashion, graphic design, film and music. This book explores the range of Jones's 50-year career, focusing not just on his sculptures but also on his works in watercolour, lithography and painting. While best-known for his highly sexualised imagery, particularly his 'women as furniture' series, this volume reveals an artist deeply influenced by European Modernism, whose works possess an innate sense of humour and exuberant use of colour. Alongside engaging analyses of Jones's place in the canon of twentieth-century art, this volume seeks to reappraise feminist reactions to Jones from a contemporary perspective, exploring his continuous preoccupation with androgynous and transgender forms. This book was published to coincide with the important exhibition of the artist's work in 1914. Ref QQ 1.…
