Questioning those who view Impressionism solely in terms of artistic technique, this title describes the painting of Manet, Degas, Seurat, and others as an attempt to give form to that modernity and seek out its typical representatives - be they bar-maids, boaters, prostitutes, sightseers, or petits bourgeois lunching on the grass.

Addresses questions such as: Why do we find ourselves returning to certain pictures time and again? What is it we are looking for? And how does our understanding of an image change over time?

Those Passions is the careful distillation of a lifetime of writing about art's relationship to politics, by the internationally renowned art historian T. J. Clark.

A superbly written and tightly argued appraisal of the political and religious ramifications of one of the fundamental topics in the history of art - the artistic encounter with the transcendent.

With a violent and abusive past, Flint Klemens lives on the fringes of society and within a sliver of his sanity.  He’s compromised by a corrupt Attorney General, drug pushers and businessmen who try their best to sideline him for speaking out. By chance he meets Gwennie, and they move interstate to start anew, only to find themselves caught in a web of corruption and vice. Gwennie disappears and Flint’s left to deal with his psychotic mind. He is taunted by his enemies who, he discovers, are more closely linked than ever before.Artwork and illustrations by Paul Summerfield.Foreword by Ernest Hunter
