An accomplished mathematician and photographer, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98), writing under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, transformed children's literature with this world-famous classic. First published in 1865, this tale of the topsy-turvy was originally created to entertain the young Alice Liddell and her sisters during a picnic in the summer of 1862. The humour with which Dodgson enlivened his mathematical works is exploited to the full here: many of the now-familiar nonsense songs and poems in the story are parodies of contemporary works, and there are a number of allusions to mathematical concepts in the text. The illustrations by Punch cartoonist Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914) depict the cast of much-loved characters - including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter - with a brilliance which perfectly enhances Dodgson's gently satirical fantasy.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition ?Alice Neel: There?s Still Another I See?, an exhibition focusing for the first time on pairings of Alice Neel?s paintings of the same sitter.00This exquisite book illuminates and expands upon the exhibition. Featuring additional works and an essay by Minna Moore Ede.00Minna Moore Ede?s essay draws connections between Neel?s art and that of Old Masters such as Goya, whom Neel greatly admired, underlining the art historical grounding of her radical vision and affirming her place in the pantheon.00With paintings ranging in date from the 1930s to the 1980s, the book charts physical transformations over time, changes of mood, temperature or temperament, in sitter and artist, along with developments in Neel?s art, which grew ever more penetrating.00It gives a sense of what compelled Neel to look at and paint people more than once, and by extension to know as much as possible about the people and the world around her.
