Eileen Cooper: Body and Soul - Eileen Cooper - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

A student at Goldsmiths College and the Royal College of Art, Eileen Cooper RA became well known in the 1980s for her strong and passionate figuration. Her unapologetically female approach to her subject-matter encompasses sexuality, motherhood, life and death. She was elected a Royal Academician in 2001 and served as Keeper of the Royal Academy between 2010 and 2017, the first woman in the institution’s history to do so. This lovely new sketchbook reveals Cooper’s fascination with the female body in various media, from pencil and crayon to charcoal and gouache, and celebrates her work in all its joyful intimacy.

Packed with illustrations, this brief introduction to the Academy''s 250-year story considers how its homes and some of its characters have made it what it is.

Rose Wylie - Tim Marlow - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Rose Wylie - Tim Marlow - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Rose Wylie RA is the third artist to participate in an exhibition collaboration between the Royal Academy and The Gallery at Windsor, Vero Beach, Florida. This book accompanies her show and features an interview with the artist by Tim Marlow, Artistic Director at the Royal Academy, and an essay by the actor and art collector Russell Tovey. The exhibition comprises new paintings and drawings - wittily observed and subtly sophisticated meditations on the nature of visual representation itself. Using images as a prompt, Wylie often works from memory, and the associated works on a single subject offer an insight into her complex creative process. Wylie''s work has been the subject of renewed critical attention in recent years, with major shows in Europe at venues including Turner Contemporary, Margate (2016), the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, London (2017), Tate Modern, London (2018), and the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Málaga (2018).

Late Constable - Matthew Hargraves - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Late Constable - Matthew Hargraves - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

"Forget the rural idylls. This sublime show recasts John Constable as the godfather of the Avant Garde, producing explosive, nightmarish paintings of a vanishing world." – Jonathan Jones, Guardian One of Britain’s greatest landscape painters, John Constable (1776–1837) was brought up in Dedham Vale, the valley of the River Stour in Suffolk. The eldest son of a wealthy mill owner, he entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1800 at the age of 24, and thereafter committed himself to painting nature out of doors. His ‘six-footers’, such as The Hay Wain and The Leaping Horse , were designed to promote landscape as a subject and to stand out in the Academy’s Annual Exhibition. Despite this, he sold few paintings in his lifetime and was elected a Royal Academician late in his career. With texts by leading authorities on the artist, this handsome book looks at the freedom of Constable’s late works and records his enormous contribution to the English landscape tradition.

Lucian Freud - David Dawson - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Lucian Freud - David Dawson - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

In 1964 Lucian Freud set his students at the Norwich College of Art an assignment: to paint naked self-portraits and to make them ''revealing, telling, believable... really shameless''. It was advice that the artist was often to follow himself. Visceral, unflinching and often nude, Freud''s self-portraits give us an insight into the development of his style as a painter. The works provide the viewer with a constant reminder of the artist''s overwhelming presence, whether he is confronting the viewer directly or only present as a shadow or in a reflection. Essays by leading authorities - including those who knew him well - explore Freud''s life and work, and analyse the importance of self-portraiture in his practice and the intensity that he maintained when studying his own.Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London (27 October 2019 to 26 January 2020) and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (22 February to 25 May 2020). The exhibition was organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Michelangelo Buonarroti - Alison Cole - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Michelangelo Buonarroti - Alison Cole - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Michelangelo''s Taddei Tondo has been at the heart of the Royal Academy Collections since it was bequeathed to the institution by Sir George Beaumont, John Constable''s patron, in 1830. The only Michelangelo marble in Britain, the tondo offers a fascinating insight into the master''s technical and experimental skills, given its tantalising lack of finish. Joshua Reynolds, the Academy''s first President, considered that Michelangelo represented everything that an artist should aspire to, combining ''technical'' brilliance with sublime ''poetical'' imagination, and the tondo shows this in scintillating relief. Expertly researched and written by the renowned Renaissance art historian Alison Cole, this book explores the life of the tondo, from Michelangelo''s rivalry with Leonardo to the marble''s arrival at the Royal Academy and its subsequent impact on its teaching. In a fresh and exciting look at the tondo''s role in revealing Michelangelo''s technical experimentation, Cole explores the importance of the ''non finito''. Lavishly illustrated and including brand new photos of the tondo, this is an intriguing and enriching exploration of a lesser-known side of the great Renaissance master''s work.

Humphrey Ocean - Ben Thomas - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Humphrey Ocean - Ben Thomas - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Over five decades, the painter Humphrey Ocean RA''s work has filtered into our national culture. This includes his series of portraits entitled A handbook of modern life displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in 2013; his portrait of Christopher Le Brun, President of the Royal Academy of Arts; and the cover of Sir Paul McCartney''s 2007 album Memory Almost Full , which featured one of the Chair series. Ocean''s practice encompasses painting, printmaking, sculpture, book-making and drawing. Of the last, he has said: ''Paper is lovely, immediate and personal. I draw as an end in itself.'' In 2019 his exhibition ''Birds, Cars and Chairs'' is on display at the Royal Academy of Arts. Of these subjects, he says: ''Birds, cars and chairs are, in that order, ancient, modern and intimate. Without them life would be a lot less bearable.'' These works are reproduced alongside others in the book to provide a fascinating overview of Ocean''s career, with an essay by Ben Thomas, which sets out to discover exactly what it is that makes Ocean''s art so appealing and universal.

Angelica Kauffman - Bettina Baumgartel - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

David Hockney - William Boyd - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

At the beginning of 2020, just as global Covid-19 restrictions were coming into force, the artist David Hockney was at his house, studio and garden in Normandy. From there, he witnessed the arrival of spring, and recorded the blossoming of the surrounding landscape on his iPad, a medium he has been using for over a decade. Working outdoors was an antidote to the anxiety of the moment for Hockney – ''We need art, and I do think it can relieve stress,'' he says. This uplifting publication – produced to accompany a major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts – includes 116 of his new iPad paintings and shows to full effect Hockney''s singular skill in capturing the exuberance of nature.

Astonishing Things - Sarah Lea - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Astonishing Things - Sarah Lea - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Novelist, poet and politician, Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a towering figure in French 19th-century public life. The author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame became a symbol of the French Republic’s ideals of equality and freedom during his long exile in the Channel Islands. His ink-and-wash visions of imaginary castles, monsters and seascapes may be less well known than his writings, but they inspired Romantic and Symbolist poets, and many artists including the Surrealists; Vincent van Gogh compared them to ‘astonishing things’. This handsome book – the catalogue of an exhibition organised by the Royal Academy of Arts in collaboration with Paris Musées – Maison de Victor Hugo and the Bibliothèque nationale de France – includes new texts by leading authorities on Hugo and reproductions of many of his finest works on paper, from early caricatures and travel drawings to dramatic landscapes and experiments in abstraction.

Frank Bowling - Mel Gooding - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Frank Bowling - Mel Gooding - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Over the past decade, Frank Bowling has enjoyed belated attention and celebration, including a major Tate Britain retrospective in 2019. This comprehensive monograph, published in 2011, is now available in an updated and expanded edition. Born in British Guiana in 1934, Bowling arrived in England in his late teens, going on to study at the Royal College of Art alongside David Hockney and Derek Boshier. By the early 1960s he was recognised as an original force in the vibrant London art scene, with a style that brilliantly combined figurative, symbolic and abstract elements. Dividing his time between New York and London since the late 1960s, he has developed a unique and virtuosic abstract style that combines aspects of American painterly abstraction with a treatment of light and space that consciously recollects the great English landscape painters Gainsborough, Turner and Constable. In a compelling text the art writer, critic and curator Mel Gooding hails Bowling as one of the finest British artists of his generation.

Impressionists on Paper - Harriet Stratis - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

"Monet, van Gogh and Cezanne feature in a pleasurable Royal Academy show that demonstrates why the Impressionists remain the world''s favourite set of artists." — Independent Best known for their superlative oils on canvas, Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh and numerous other Impressionists and Post-Impressionists also regularly used paper as a support for works in watercolour, gouache, pencil, tempera and that most elusive of media, pastel. Their practice transformed the status of these works from preparatory studies, to be left in the studio and not shown in public, to works of art in their own right. With insightful texts by acknowledged experts in the field, this sumptuous book brings together some 70 masterworks on paper by leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. Their bold innovations challenged traditional attitudes, radically transformed the future direction of art and ultimately paved the way for later movements such as Abstract Expressionism.

Bill Jacklin - Nancy Campbell - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Bill Jacklin - Nancy Campbell - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Born in 1943 in London, Bill Jacklin RA studied and worked in graphic design before a move to study painting at the Royal College of Art. Initially abstract, his work moved towards figuration in the mid-1970s, at which point he also became preoccupied with the effects of light and movement, twin strands that have characterised his work ever since. Since his move to New York in 1985, he has concentrated on painting portraits of the city in all its guises, from large-scale compositions of crowds in flux to Seurat-like etchings depicting more intimate urban moments. Jacklin enjoys making monotypes, whose fusion of printmaking and painting techniques is particularly well suited to his subject-matter. Painted on a polished, non-absorbent surface, these images are unique, and no reusable element, such as an etching plate, woodblock or stencil, is employed in their creation. This handsome new book reproduces a wide range of Jacklin’s exuberant monotypes and contains an informative account of them by the poet Nancy Campbell.

Nigel Hall - Andrew Lambirth - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Born in 1943 in Bristol, Nigel Hall RA studied at the West of England College of Art in Bristol and at the Royal College of Art in London before winning a Harkness Fellowship to study in America, where he travelled in California and the Mojave Desert. One of the foremost sculptors of his generation, Hall has created acclaimed works in steel, aluminium and polished wood. As a boy he watched and worked with his grandfather, a stonemason who restored churches and other buildings in the West of England: ‘Experience of carving has affected the way I make sculpture and drawings, which is very much to do with light and shade, and edge.’ In this appealing new volume, Hall’s skill as a draughtsman is revealed, as is the importance of drawing to his sculptural practice. Indeed, his abstract drawings in gouache and charcoal show the same preoccupation with space and balance as his sculptures. Some 80 of Hall’s beautiful works on paper are included, with an intriguing introduction to them by the renowned art writer Andrew Lambirth.

Bill Viola / Michelangelo - Kira Perov - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Bill Viola / Michelangelo - Kira Perov - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

At first glance, there may appear to be more to separate Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Bill Viola (b. 1951) than to unite them: one, the great master of the Italian Renaissance; the other, the creator of state-of-the-art immersive sound and video installations. And yet, when Martin Clayton showed Viola Her Majesty The Queen''s unsurpassed collection of Michelangelo drawings at Windsor in 2006, parallels began to emerge. This book presents a new perspective on both artists'' works. Stills and sequences from ten key video pieces by Viola are reproduced alongside fourteen of Michelangelo''s presentation drawings, as well as the Taddei Tondo, the only Michelangelo marble sculpture in the UK and a treasure of the Royal Academy''s collection. Texts by Martin Clayton examine how existential concerns - the preoccupation of many Renaissance artists, not least Michelangelo - are explored in Viola''s often profoundly moving video installations, while Kira Perov provides insight into Viola''s working processes.

Laura Knight - Helen Valentine - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

"From painting nudes at a time when it was forbidden to sleeping among the troops in both world wars, the vitality of her work makes her still strikingly relevant." – Lara Feigel, Guardian Dame Laura Knight RA (1877-1970) was the first female member to be elected to the Royal Academy of Arts, submitting Dawn , her now famous painting of two female nudes, as her Diploma Work in 1936. In 1965 the Academy''s major retrospective of her work recognised her importance in British art. This autumn an exhibition of Knight''s drawings opens at the RA. Drawing was a key part of her practice, and allowed her to capture at speed her various subjects, which include travellers, circus performers, boxers, ballet dancers and ice skaters. Drawing allowed her to capture with immediacy the exuberant life of her models, as well as being a vital recording tool when she witnessed one of the most important events of the twentieth century: the Nuremberg trials. In this new publication on the artist, Annette Wickham and Helen Valentine present the Academy''s holdings of her drawings with an in-depth analysis focused on three key subjects within her work: the nude, the working woman and country life.

Chris Orr: The Making of Things - Robert Hewison - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Chris Orr MBE RA is one of Britain''s foremost printmakers. In this definitive book he and Robert Hewison explore his remarkable printmaking career, from his early experiments as a student in the 1960s, when he first discovered how etching could enhance his drawing, to his later innovations in lithography, silkscreen and digital printing, and his ingenious use of long-forgotten processes. Hewison also considers the significant contribution that Orr has made to printmaking as a teacher, first at Cardiff College of Art and then in London at Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art, where he was Professor of Printmaking from 1998 to 2008. Illustrated with over 150 of Orr''s theatrical, witty and wilfully allusive prints, this book looks for the first time in depth at the gloriously original output of a ceaseless inventor.

Francis Bacon - Stephen F. Eisenman - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Francis Bacon - Stephen F. Eisenman - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Francis Bacon is considered one of the most important painters of the twentieth century. A major exhibition of his paintings at the Royal Academy of Arts, planned for 2020 but postponed because of the pandemic, explores the role of animals in his work – not least the human animal. Having often painted dogs and horses, in 1969 Bacon first depicted bullfights. In this powerful series of works, the interaction between man and beast is dangerous and cruel, but also disturbingly intimate. Both are contorted in their anguished struggle, and the erotic lurks not far away: ‘Bullfighting is like boxing,’ Bacon once said. ‘A marvellous aperitif to sex.’ Twenty-two years later, a lone bull was to be the subject of his final painting. In this fascinating publication – a significant addition to the literature on Bacon – expert authors discuss Bacon’s approach to animals and identify his varied sources of inspiration, which included wildlife photography and the motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge. They contend that, by considering animals in states of vulnerability, anger and unease, Bacon was able to lay bare the role of instinctual behaviour in the human condition.

Born in 1942 in Worthing, David Remfry RA studied at Hull College of Art. His first solo show in London in 1973 has been followed by more than 50 international solo exhibitions. He is well known both for his large-scale watercolours of dancers, and for his drawings and watercolours of his neighbours and friends at the Hotel Chelsea in New York, where he lived from 1995 to 2016. Remfry’s skill in capturing dancers in movement in spontaneous watercolour is shown to particularly good effect in these pocket-sized sketches of tango aficionados. Characteristically, he shows us neither their heads nor their feet, instead concentrating entirely on their midriffs in this charming celebration of the most seductive and passionate of dances.

The Lammermuir Hills have been an important trade route between Scotland and England for generations, as well as an effective barrier when necessary. Drawn by the long history of south-eastern Scotland and the many conflicting elements in play in its natural environment – among them wind farms, pylons, forestry plantations, grouse moors and sheep – the distinguished Scottish painter and printmaker Barbara Rae CBE RA has made numerous studies of these wild expanses. This handsome volume reproduces a wide selection of her intensely colourful images with accompanying photographs and maps, and texts by the art critic Duncan Macmillan, Emeritus Professor of the History of Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh, and Maureen Barrie, who worked for many years at National Museums Scotland.

John Carter - Stephen Bann - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

John Carter RA has made some of the most beautiful and lucid artworks of the last fifty years. The apparent simplicity and directness of his abstract reliefs belie an ambiguity that extends even to their definition, as Carter seeks subtly to reimagine the relationship between sculpture and painting. Carter is best known for his ''wall objects'', shallow sculptures based on abstract mathematical formulae. He begins each work with notebook sketches, moving on to larger, measured drawings. It is these drawings - taken from throughout Carter''s career - that this book presents. Each drawing is a fascinating model of colour abstraction, with commentary by the artist. Carter''s drawings reveal the originality of his mind and the love of exactitude and clarity that drives his practice. His singular contribution to the post-war flowering of British abstraction can clearly be seen here.

Milton Avery - Marla Price - Bog - Royal Academy of Arts - Plusbog.dk

Born in 1885 to a working-class family in Connecticut, Milton Avery left school at 16 to work in a factory. Intending to study lettering but soon transferring to painting, he attended evening school for fifteen years before moving to New York in the 1920s to pursue a career as a painter. Although he never identified with a particular movement, Avery was a sociable member of the New York art scene. He became a figure of considerable influence for a younger generation of American artists, including Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman. His talent was praised by Rothko, who said of his work ‘the poetry penetrated every pore of the canvas to the last touch of the brush’. Edith Devaney introduces Avery and his work, while Erin Monroe looks at Avery’s early years in Hartford, and Marla Price examines Matisse’s influence upon his art. A conversation with the artist’s daughter March Avery Cavanaugh and an illustrated chronology by Isabella Boorman complete the book.
