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 chart his biography and give us an insight into the development of his style. These paintings 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. Freud's exploration of the self-portrait is unexpected and wide-ranging. In this volume, essays by leading authorities, including those who knew him, explore Freud's life and work, and analyze the importance of self-portraiture in his practice. Exhibition: Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (27.10.2019-26.01.2020) / Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA (22.02.-25.05.2020).

"Van Rembrandts jeugd weten we weinig tot niets. Het intiemste dat we van hem hebben is zijn werk, dat ook in die vroege jaren al verbluft door de experimentele stijl, de intellectuele diepgang en, vooral, de menselijkheid. Voor zijn portret van de kunstenaar als jonge man heeft Onno Blom zich verdiept in de wereld, het land, de stad, de steeg en het huis waarin Rembrandt in 1606 werd geboren en de eerste vijfentwintig jaar van zijn leven doorbracht. Leiden, met haar jonge universiteit, immigrantenstroom en bloeiende lakenhandel, bood Rembrandt de kans om zichzelf uit te vinden. Hoe deed hij dat? Werd hij een geniale kunstenaar door genius loci, de geest van Leiden, zijn familie, zijn leermeesters, opdrachtgevers, concurrenten, collega's en vrienden? Of was zijn ontwikkeling als kunstenaar een hoogstpersoonlijk, eigenzinnig avontuur? Hoe werd Rembrandt Rembrandt? Dat is de vraag".

The Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte redefined the way we think about art. Famous for his men in bowler hats, he inspired generations of later artists from Andy Warhol to Jasper Johns with his witty and provocative work. In this illuminating new biography, Patricia Allmer radically repositions Magritte's work in relation to its historical and cultural circumstances. Allmer explores the significant influence of events and experiences in Magritte's early childhood and youth that are recorded in his letters and essays, including his memories of visiting fairs and circuses, of magical shows and performances, of the cinema, and, in particular, of his first encounter with his future partner, Georgette, on a carousel. Allmer's analyses of these events and their influence on both well-known and less familiar images give new insights into Magritte's art. The book will appeal to those who wish to know more about Magritte's life and work, as well as to the wide audience for surrealism.

This monograph accompanies the first European retrospective of the work of Lee Krasner (1908-1984). One of the original abstract expressionists, Krasner's importance has for too long been eclipsed by her marriage to Jackson Pollock. In fact, his death in 1956 marked her renaissance as an artist. Over the course of more than five decades, Krasner continually scrutinized and reinvented her practice, giving her work formidable energy and impact. Her accomplishments began to be recognized toward the end of her life and in 1984 she became one of the few women artists to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA. As Krasner quipped about her belated recognition: "I was a woman, Jewish, a widow, a damn good painter, thank you, and a little too independent". This volume features an outstanding selection of her most important paintings, collages and drawings, contextualized by photography from the post-war period, an illustrated chronology, and includes an unpublished interview with her biographer Gail Levin. Tracing her evolution as an artist - from her earliest self-portraits to the acclaimed 'little image' series, from her 1950s collages to epic painterly canvases - this book offers a vivid impression of one of the most tenacious women artists of the 20th century, whose work and life feels more relevant than ever today.
