    London Interiors? The most inspiring interiors in beautiful cities all over the worldFrom richly decorative to coolly pared-back, London homes are always unexpected. Behind the front doors of the city's ubiquitous terraces lies a wealth of design inspiration, while seemingly inhospitable buildings, whether converted gin distilleries, concrete new builds or former dairies, have been given fresh life thanks to the city's famously creative inhabitants.Over the years, multiple influences have inspired the capital's design sensibility, including the relaxed elegance pioneered by Colefax and Fowler in the mid-twentieth century, the simple, softly modern rooms of Terence Conran a decade or two later and the restrained schemes of interior architects such as John Minshaw. More recently its interiors have favoured a return to a playful, loosened up look: blowsy florals, clashing colours, vibrant prints and plenty of frills and fringing.London Interiors captures all of these influences and celebrates the cosmopolitan nature of a truly diverse city.

    Important: This book is the 18th book in our Superhero Universe! One fateful day, 15-year-old Jordan Morris set out to the shopping mall with a simple mission: to pick up a cake for his younger brother's birthday. Little did he know that this seemingly ordinary outing would thrust him into a nightmarish ordeal. Explosions shattered the tranquility of the mall, bullets filled the air, and chaos reigned. In the midst of this madness, a sinister figure known as 'The Naughty Soul' emerged, his aim to sow discord and anarchy throughout the city. 'The Naughty Soul' was a man unhinged by unspeakable tragedy-his family had been cruelly taken from him in a heart-wrenching shooting incident. Now, he sought vengeance against a society he believed had failed him, resorting to violence to underscore the urgent need for gun control reform. Jordan managed to survive the horrifying ordeal, but the scars of that day would linger. A little later, destiny led Jordan to New Vazuno, the majestic city ruled by King Aessoid, as part of a school excursion. A twist of fate awaited him as a gravity-defying accident bestowed upon him incredible superpowers. Yet, as 'The Naughty Soul' continued to wreak havoc in the streets of Chicago, Jordan found himself faced with a life-altering decision. Amidst the chaos, villains closing in on him, and both the police and the enigmatic T.O.P.A.H. organization hot on his trail, he must choose whether to rise as a hero or remain in the shadows.

    - A selection of the last paintings of 30 of the greatest artists - Not the last painting - as that is often uncertain - but several carefully selected works these artists have made close the end of their lives - 30 intriguing and compelling artist biographies - Includes a wide range of artists, from Giotto and Van Eyck, to Kahlo, Hopper and Picasso - Includes interesting biographical information, fragments from rarely seen letters and testimonials An intense focus on the late and final work of great painters has become a striking trend in recent years. Exhibitions have been devoted to 'the Late' Raphael, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Goya, Turner, Manet, Gauguin, Monet, Matisse and Pollock and fresh research has been carried out into the work these artists produced in the twilight of their careers. This has led in many cases to surprising discoveries and a renewed appreciation of the late work. The Final Painting collects these fresh insights into 30 of the world's greatest painters and their last works in a highly readable book, beginning with Jan van Eyck and ending with Pablo Picasso. Besides the painters mentioned already, it includes Bellini, Titian, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Cézanne, Klimt, Renoir, Modigliani, Munch, Mondrian, Kahlo and Hopper. Persistent myths and clichés are challenged: Van Gogh was not the solitary figure as so often suggested: the story behind Raphael's celebrated La Fornarina was made up in the 19th century; the elderly Tintoretto did not paint many of his huge late canvases single-handedly; and Manet's last works are much more than the paintings of a terminal patient.

    - A comprehensive overview of S.H. Raza's life and work - Featuring over 250 works from Raza's oeuvre - Includes previously unpublished letters and notebooks offering glimpses of the master at work - Detailed chrono-biography situates Raza within the transcultural dynamics of the art world After an early stint in Bombay in the 1940s, with the Progressive Artists' Group, S. H. Raza moved to France, where he spent the next 60 years. This volume explores Raza's artistic trajectory from the time of his arrival in Paris, as well as his contribution to the development of modernism in the Indian subcontinent. Raza's strong thrust towards non-figurative art, and subsequent influences from European and American modernism, combined with his memories and impressions of India, led him to a skillful negotiation between Indian spirituality and Western abstraction. Beginning with early works developed in India before 1947, the essays in this volume analyze Raza's later abstraction processes and landscapes. An anthology of previously unpublished letters offer glimpses of the master at work, and a detailed chrono-biography situates him within the transcultural dynamics of the 1950s to the 1980s. Accompanying the S.H. Raza exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2023, this monograph presents a compelling overview of Raza's work and the highlights of his journey. Published in association with the Raza Foundation, New Delhi and Centre Pompidou, Paris.

    - Chronicles for the first time Ganesh Haloi's decades-long artistic and pedagogic practice - Featuring nearly 250 works with previously unpublished folios of illustrations and sketches from artist's life - Documents Haloi's unique vocabulary of abstraction and landscape - Comprehensive study of Haloi's lifework deeply attentive always to the unfolding present Ganesh Haloi, born in Jamalpur, Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh), moved to Calcutta in 1950 after the Partition of India. Witness to India's resilient culture, its freedom and struggle for its secular modernism, Haloi is among the artists of the generation who have played a significant role in the shaping of Indian modern art. Haloi has cultivated a singular vocabulary of abstraction and landscape. This painterly world is textured with knowledge references that the artist is attuned to over decades -- from archeology, ancient architecture, art history to sacred philosophy and poetry. His works are exercises in bringing life to the genre of landscape painting through the assembly of disparate symbolic forms. With extensive essays by eminent art critics interspersed with folios of many previously unpublished works from throughout his life, this monograph documents Haloi's earth-toned abstract vocabulary that has drawn over time on a vast breadth of iconography, ideas, and movements. Published in association with Akar Prakar, Kolkata & New Delhi.

Also includes an Iconic Images certificate of authenticity- One of America's most iconic stars, seen through the lens of six top celebrity photographers- Featuring photos by Milton Greene, Terry O'Neill, Eva Sereny, Al Satterwhite, Lawrence Fried and Douglas Kirkland- Includes never-before-seen images of Paul Newman on stage, on set, and while racing"Newman's preternaturally piercing baby blue eyes shine through in every picture, and he was well aware of how his fame rested on the colour of his irises." -- Peter Sheridan, Daily Express Once, when asked how he'd like to be remembered, Paul Newman replied: "I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried. Tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being." As an actor who became a film star, Newman repeatedly tapped into his times and in doing so redefined what movie stardom could be. Newman was a new kind of movie star, bringing a particular authenticity, intensity and sensitivity to his performances. Throughout his career, Newman was extensively photographed: these images enriched film audiences' connection to him as a cool and graceful presence both on and off-screen. Milton Greene, Douglas Kirkland, Lawrence Fried, Terry O'Neill, Al Satterwhite and Eva Sereny are amongst the photographers who worked with Newman on and off-set across his career. From early stage work with his wife, Joanne Woodward, to his love of racing cars, to the essential 1980s drama Absence of Malice to the great success of the new western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the cult favorites, Pocket Money and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Newman's movies were an essential part of American culture. With comment and contributions from the photographers, Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool, gathers together portraits, stage, racing and on-set photography -- including never before seen images -- in a celebration of an actor who was always... cool.

    Accompanies the Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism at the Dulwich Picture Gallery 31 March - 10 September 2023Berthe Morisot: Impressionism and the 18th Centuryis the first major UK exhibition of the renowned Impressionist since 1950. In partnership with the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, it will bring together around 30 of Morisot's most important works from international collections, many never seen before in the UK, to reveal the artist as a trailblazer of the movement as well as uncovering a previously untold connection between her work and 18th century culture, with around 20 works for comparison.A founding member of the Impressionist group, Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was known for her swiftly painted glimpses of contemporary life and intimate domestic scenes. She featured prominently in the Impressionist exhibitions and defied social norms to become one of the movement's most influential figures. Berthe Morisot: Impressionism and the 18th Century will draw on new research and previously unpublished archival material from the Musée Marmottan Monet to trace the roots of her inspiration, revealing the ways in which Morisot engaged with 18th century art and culture, while also highlighting the originality of her artistic vision, which ultimately set her apart from her predecessors.Highlights will include Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight (1875), painted while Morisot was on honeymoon in England, and her striking Self-Portrait (1885), which will appear alongside Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Young Woman (c.1769) from Dulwich Picture Gallery's collection. Apollo revealing his divinity to the shepherdess Issé, after François Boucher (1892), In the Apple Tree (1890) and Julie Manet with her Greyhound Laerte (1893), are among nine paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet, many receiving their first ever showing in the UK.
