This stunning catalogue presents for the first time an outstanding group of modern drawings by European and American masters, assembled by the late Howard Karshan and his wife, Linda, who recently presented the works to The Courtauld. Accompanying their exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, the catalogue features drawings by renowned artists including Paul Cézanne, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Sam Francis, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter and Georg Baselitz. The Karshan gift is a significant addition to The Courtauld?s collection. The works demonstrate Howard and Linda Karshan?s sensibility for the expressive power and rich variety of drawing as an art form. The drawings are characterised by innovative mark-making and distinctive use of line. Examples range from radical watercolours by Cézanne and highly expressive finger drawings in ink by Louis Soutter, to abstract compositions made by Henri Michaux whilst experimenting with Mescalin to explore the subconscious, and on to works by Twombly that further broadened the possibilities of draughtsmanship. The 25 drawings of the Karshan gift will be shown at The Courtauld Gallery when it reopens in late 2021, following a major transformation project. This catalogue will include an interview with Linda Karshan, two essays and a fully illustrated catalogue with detailed entries on each work.

En 169 avant Jésus-Christ, les Romains ne craignent pas de s'embarquer sur des bateaux, qu'ils ne savent ni commander ni manoeuvrer, pour attaquer la puissance maritime des Carthaginois. Devenus les maîtres de la Méditerranée, ils la débarrassent des pirates et y fondent même leur Empire, quand Octave met en fuite les navires d'Antoine et de Cléopâtre. Ils savent installer des chantiers navals, rénover les ports, entretenir une flotte militaire, favoriser l'essor de la pêche et des compagnies de navigation, développer jusqu'en Inde, en Chine et en Atlantique leurs grandes lignes maritimes. Pourtant terriens dans l'âme, ils cuisinent avec raffinement les poissons de mer, consomment les huîtres avec passion, raffolent des perles et de la pourpre née des coquillages ; ils découvrent les plaisirs de la plaisance, les charmes de la plage et les bienfaits d'une certaine thalassothérapie. Les plus riches se font construire de magnifiques résidences en bord de mer ; les plus savants réfléchissent aux questions que soulèvent les marées de l'Atlantique ; les poètes, les philosophes et les orateurs reprennent les thèmes du pirate, du pilote, de la tempête ou du voyage en mer.
Jean-Claude Amblant, moderne septuagénaire, veut bien être grand-père, mais ne veut pas être un papy. A travers de petites scènes de la vie quotidienne d'aujourd'hui et d'autrefois, ordinateur, iPod, 4 cv Renault, bains-douches, produits cosmétiques en tous genres, douleurs et analyses de sang, musiques actuelles et chansons de naguère sont passés au crible du regard aiguisé de ce doyen d'une famille recomposée. On suit avec amusement sa quête d'un yaourt au supermarché, on est ému avec lui à l'évocation d'une orange américaine qui vole dans le ciel de juin 44 et on rit presque en connivence des critiques de ses petits-enfants face à sa résistance au téléphone portable et aux tics de notre époque. Une série de petits textes souvent drôles, qui donnent à chaque fois le point de vue du Papy et celui du monde qui l'entoure. A faire lire aux grands-pères, actuels et futurs, et même aux grands-mères.

This important publication accompanies a major exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, London, of paintings by Edvard Munch, one of the world's greatest modern artists. The exhibition and catalogue showcase 18 major works from the collection of KODE Art Museums in Bergen. The works span the most significant part of Munch's artistic development and have never before been shown as a group outside of Scandinavia. KODE houses one of the most important collections of paintings by Edvard Munch (1863- 1944) in the world. The collection was assembled at the beginning of the 20th century by the Norwegian industrialist, mill owner and philanthropist Rasmus Meyer (1858-1916), who was one of the fi rst signifi cant early collectors of Munch's work. Meyer knew Munch personally and was astute in acquiring major canvases by the artist that chart his artistic development. Edvard Munch : Masterpieces from Bergen explores this group of remarkable works in detail and considers the important role of Rasmus Meyer as a collector. The exhibition and publication include seminal paintings from Munch's early 'realist' phase of the 1880s, such as Morning (1884), which was made when the artist was just twenty years old, and Summer Night (1889), a pivotal work that shows the artist's move towards the expressive and psychologically charged work for which he became famous. These paintings launched Munch's career and set the stage for his renowned, highly expressive paintings of the 1890s when his compositions became powerful projections of his emotions and imaginative states. Such works are a major feature of the exhibition that includes remarkable canvases from Munch's famous 'Frieze of Life' series, such as Evening on Karl Johan (1892), Melancholy (1894-96) and At the Death Bed (1895). Through his 'Frieze of Life' works, Munch intended to address profound themes of human existence, from love to death. The artist used his own experiences as source material to make visceral depictions of the human psyche, which he hoped would help others understand their own life. Munch's powerful use of colour and form to convey his subjects marked him out as one of the most radical painters at the turn of the 20th century. This fully illustrated publication includes a catalogue of the works, with contributions by leading experts in their fi eld from KODE and The Courtauld.

This handsomely illustrated book is published to mark the opening of the Goldsmiths' Gallery at the new London Museum in Smithfield. Showcasing the Cheapside Hoard alongside historic treasures from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection, it takes readers on a global journey in the wake of plate, jewels and gemstones - and the people who made, traded and treasured them. Gold and silver are precious - prized as a form of portable capital, essential for the mints and coinage, used to express power and status. Yet great skill was needed in the buying, the fashioning and the selling of either metal. As fashions changed, much early modern plate and jewellery was melted down when sentiment gave way to market value. This makes the survival of the Goldsmiths' Company's holdings exceptional - and the Cheapside Hoard, unearthed by workmen in 1912 after lying undisturbed for nearly 300 years - nothing short of extraordinary. Comprising over 500 pieces - made of emeralds, diamonds and sapphires sourced from across the world, worked into mesmerising brooches, buttons, necklaces and rings - the Cheapside Hoard is the greatest single collection of Elizabethan and Stuart jewellery in the world. The book places the Hoard in its historical and global context, celebrating it alongside highlights from the Goldsmiths' Company's collection. It offers four main chapters on Elizabethan and early Stuart London, the goldsmiths' trade, the Hoard itself, and the city's global networks. Interwoven thematic sections explore craftsmanship, personal stories, trade practices, taste and fashion - bringingtogether jewels and plate to reveal a rich tapestry of skill, style and exchange.
