Abstract

William Holman Hunt (1827-1910) chronicled the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in this well-illustrated two-volume memoir of 1905, controversially presenting himself as the movement's founding father. Popular when first published, it illuminates the search for authenticity of treatment and depth of meaning in his own work and that of Millais, Rossetti and their circle. Stressing the contributions of himself and Millais, Hunt sets out to defend the Brotherhood's ideals, from which he never departed. After his success with The Light of the World, he survived exotic and dangerous travels to create some of the most memorable paintings of the age, such as The Scapegoat (mostly painted by the Dead Sea with a gun at hand) and The Lady of Shalott. Volume 1 shows him overcoming family objections and early criticism to pursue his artistic goals, finding common ground in the Brotherhood, winning Ruskin's backing and wider recognition, and making his first trip to the Holy Land.

Volume 2 covers his further visits to the Holy Land, unconventional remarriage and such later masterpieces as The Triumph of the Innocents. It culminates in a polemical 'Retrospect', linking art to nature, morality and national character.

Abstract

"Lubaina Himid is known for her innovative approaches to painting and to social engagement. Initially trained in theatre design, she has been pivotal in the UK since the 1980s for her contributions to the British Black arts movement, making space for the expression and recognition of Black experience and women's creativity. Over the last decade she has earned international recognition for her figurative paintings, which explore overlooked and invisible aspects of history and of contemporary everyday life. In 2017 she was awarded the Turner Prize. HImid has long wanted to create a publication that offers a lucid account of the key themes and concerns in her work across her career. Produced in close collaboration with the artist in terms of both content and design, this beautifully illustrated volume takes inspiration from her interests in theatre design, architecture, sound, and poetry. Key works reflect Himid's wide-ranging engagement with the history of painting, political satire, poetry, and spoken word, spaces for feeling safe and for creativity, textiles and the non-verbal messages of pattern--subjects that are all explored here. Featuring conversations with the artist, as well as new writing by Himid herself and contributions by a variety of authors, this engaging and beautifully illustrated publication offers fresh perspectives on the work of one of the most important artists working in the UK today." --
