Through these books, young people will discover this world of art by looking, thinking and discussing, by making and doing, by exploring different materials, and by expressing visual ideas of their own. The Imbali Artbooks consist of a box set of eight books. The series is structured around a number of themes and each chapter raises interwoven topics, issues and ideas that are engaging and relevant to young people in the 21st century.
In My View is a collection of reflections by 78 contemporary artists in which each artist reveals the influence and inspiration he or she has found in a particular artwork or artist. Among the artists are John Baldessari, Daniel Buren, Chuck Close, Michael Craig-Martin, Tacita Dean, Marlene Dumas, Antony Gormley, Susan Hiller, Thomas Hirschhorn, Candida Höfer, Vik Muniz, Jorge Pardo, Raymond Pettibon, Ed Ruscha, Bill Viola and Rachel Whiteread. The stories show the profound connections that exist between artists past and present and offer an alternative look at art history from the 15th century to the 1960s, through the eyes of contemporary artists themselves. Simon Grant’s introduction identifies themes that emerge and contextualizes the history and practice of artists looking back at the work of others.
Paul Nash is widely regarded as one of the most significant British artists of the 20th century. Best known for his evocative paintings of war-ravaged landscapes and his quasi-Surrealist visions of the English countryside, Nash was also a consummate photographer, who believed that the camera could reveal aspects of the world that the painter could not.
“One of my favourite works of yours is called Darling done with marker pen on paper. It makes me think of the Julie Christie movie with the same title or wallpaper gone crazy. In this work and others I’ve noticed that you use little m,arks that in cartoons usually mean ‘stink’or sometimes highlight a character’s…
Jackson Pollock made a tremendous impact on Modern art in the twentieth century. As a pioneer of Abstract Expressionism, he was a key figure in the postwar tradition that brought American art to the forefront of the international scene.
Jacob Epstein was a pioneer of modern sculptures in Britain. Yet he always felt an outsider in his adopted country, sujected as he was to relentless attack and vilification. With his determination to break the taboos surrounding the depiction of sexuality, and his use of expressive distortion of the figure in a manner modelled more on non-Western art than the classic ideal, he aroused hostility throughout his career, and the true nature of his overall achievement has often been overlooked.
Out of stockWhen it was first published, this book was immediately recognized as the best critical overview available on the subject. The arts of Japan from the prehistoric period to the present are surveyed authoritatively and provocatively, bringing together the most recent research on the subject. This edition, extensively revised, updated and expanded, is profusely illustrated with…
In June 2012, Jasper Johns encountered a photograph of the painter Lucian Freud reproduced in a Christie’s auction catalogue. Inspired not only by the image, but by the physical qualities of the photograph itself, Johns took this motif through a succession of cross-medium permutations.

This little book helps to sift and sort through the noise and confusion; a rather valuable achievement in our chaotic and bewildering age of uncertainty. William J. Havlicek, PhD.
Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is the only Scandinavian painter of modern times to have achieved a world reputation. A tragic childhood – his mother died when he was five and a sister when he was thirteen – wounded him deeply, and much of his early work expresses this in its agonized pessimism.
This book enables any amateur artist to explore confidently the most popular painting medium the world has ever known: watercolour.
World Dutch conceptual artist Hans Eijkelboom’s work is very much in line with the deadpan, seemingly mechanistic note-taking of Ed Ruscha and Hans-Peter Feldman. In Paris*New York*Shanghai, Eijkelboom creates a clever and witty comparative study of three major contemporary metropolises, each selected for having been (or promising to be) the cultural capital of its time-Paris during the nineteenth century; New York, the twentieth; and Shanghai, the twenty-first.
An exceptional monograph-catalogue revealing the innovative drive in Gauguin’s work. This catalogue offers a unique opportunity to view Gauguin’s entire artistic development from his early impressionist works to his final masterpieces painted on the Marquesas Islands where the artist went in search of an Arcadian kingdom “of ecstasy, peace and art, far from the typical European struggle for money”.
