This catalogue explores the development of self-portraiture in Europe from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, from Rembrandt to Sickert. It examines the diverse ways in which artists have sought to portray themselves according to the role in society the artist wished to play and the intended audience of the portraits.

British Watercolours and Drawings provides a fully illustrated catalog raisonné of the important collection of over 300 British watercolours and drawings in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, which holds one of the best fine and decorative arts collections in the United Kingdom. This lavishly illustrated book will make accessible the whole collection, much of which remains unpublished since 1928. The collection illustrates the flowering of the British watercolour school in the eighteenth century and follows its development through the nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries. A fine collection from the eighteenth century includes works by Julius Caesar Ibbetson, Thomas Rowlandson, Francis Wheatley, John Robert Cozens, Richard Cosway, John 'Warwick' Smith, Francis Towne and Ozias Humphrey. Numerically, however, the strength of the collection lies in the nineteenth-century works. Jessica Feather's meticulously researched book reveals the full glory of landscape watercolours by David Cox, Peter de Wint and J. M. W. Turner. Outstanding figurative works include paintings by George Pinwell and Frederick Walker, and the Pre-Raphaelites are also well represented with a large number of high quality drawings by Edward Burne-Jones, as well as works by Ford Madox Brown, John Evert Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The collection also includes twenty-six studies by Edward John Gregory for his well-known painting Boulter's Lock, Sunday Afternoon, which is also in the Lady Lever Gallery. Gloriously illustrated throughout, this is a wonderful celebration of British drawings and watercolours at their finest.

Published to coincide with an exhibition of drawings and watercolours produced by two refugee artists, Hugo Dachinger and Walter Nessler, held in the south Liverpool Huyton internment camp during World War Two. Using improvised materials, Dachinger and Nessler recorded the forbidding physical appearance of the camp and, more importantly, the dreariness of camp life and the suffering of the internees.

Art Behind Barbed Wire

The Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition is the world's longest running annual display of contemporary art, and one of its largest. Ever since 1769 the Academy's exhibition rooms have been crowded for some two months each year with thousands of paintings and sculptures by many of Britain's leading artists. These spectacular displays have provided artists with crucial competition, inspiration and publicity, and captured the interest of millions of visitors. The Great Spectacle takes the reader on a fascinating journey to tell the story of these exhibitions. Many treasured works of British art were first shown on the walls of the RA: portraits by Reynolds and Gainsborough, the mighty landscapes of Turner and Constable, and the Pre-Raphaelites, who caused such a critical and cultural furore. The chapter on the twentieth century will reveal the RA's relationship with British modernism, right up to the 2018 Summer Exhibition, which will be coordinated by Grayson Perry CBE RA. AUTHOR: Professor Mark Hallett is Director of Studies at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and author of Reynolds, Portraiture in Action (2014). Dr Sarah Victoria Turner is Assistant Director for Research at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.
