Informal Beauty explores the photographic works of Paul Nash (1889–1946), one of the most significant British artists of the 20th century. Best known for his evocative paintings of war-ravaged landscapes and his quasi-Surrealist visions of the English countryside, Nash was also a consummate photographer, who believed that the camera could reveal aspects of the world that the painter could not. Beginning in 1930, he regularly experimented with photography, working with a No. 1A pocket Kodak series 2 camera. Including a highly informative contextual essay by Simon Grant, Informal Beauty explores the experimental nature of Nash’s output and the intensity and power of his photographic vision.

The birth of abstract art is typically associated with Kandinsky and others in the early 20th century. Houghton’s work, however, predates this momentous artistic breakthrough by half a century. In this respect, she anticipates the Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862–1944), whose work is now appreciated for its significance in the early history of abstraction. Houghton was a prominent figure of the early spiritualist movement in Victorian England, which played a significant role in various spheres of 19th century culture and was later championed by such influential figures as Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Spiritualism emerged as the belief that contact with a spirit realm was possible and that such communication could bring one closer to God. Houghton, a trained artist as well as a medium, pioneered the use of drawing as a method of channeling and expressing communications with spirit entities. During the 1860s and 1870s, she produced a series of unprecedented abstract watercolors as part of her practice as a spirit medium. Houghton called these works ‘spirit drawings’. Remarkably complex, layered watercolors and technically highly accomplished, their bold colors and fluid forms have a mesmerizing and deeply absorbing effect. Detailed inscriptions on the back of the works declare that her hand was guided by various spirits, including family members, several Renaissance artists, such as Titian and Correggio, and higher angelic beings. Although produced in a very different context, Houghton’s abstract works have close connections to the ways in which 20th Century artists developed abstract languages of art to transcend the everyday realm of representation and consciousness. In 1871 Houghton rented a prestigious gallery space in Bond Street and presented 55 of her spirit drawings to a perplexed London audience. The critic from The Era newspaper pronounced it to be “the most astonishing exhibition in London at the present moment.” The Daily News likened the works to “tangled threads of colored wool” and concluded that “they deserve to be seen as the most extraordinary and instructive example of artistic aberration.” Georgiana Houghton: Spirit Drawings will present more than 20 of these remarkable works. Unlike anything typically associated with Victorian culture, it will be a fascinating opportunity to consider their place within the history of art; both as products of their times and as precursors of radical 20th Century art.

Crianza de los hijos: la única palabra que garantiza asustar a muchas personas. Es un esfuerzo muy arriesgado. Usted tiene el control de la vida de alguien, después de todo. Es un hecho innegable que la crianza de los hijos es una tarea difícil. Hay tantas cosas de las que preocuparse durante los primeros 18 años. 
"¿Qué pasa si no le va bien en la escuela?", "¿Qué pasa si mi hijo comienza a consumir drogas?" "¿Qué hago si mi hija no se duerme cuando se lo digo?" "¿Qué hago si mi hijo se vuelve rebelde?" 
Estas son las preguntas que todos los padres conocen tan bien. Peor aún, los padres se preguntan si han sido buenos padres para sus hijos. Eso no quiere decir nada sobre si los niños alguna vez conseguirán un trabajo, se casarán o mostrarán a sus padres a sus nietos. 
Hay tantas cosas de las que preocuparse. La crianza de los hijos parece muy compleja porque los padres tienen el control de la vida de una persona. Esa no es una responsabilidad insignificante. Afortunadamente, la paternidad no tiene que ser tan complicada como piensas. 
La crianza de buenos hijos que luego crecen para ser individuos satisfechos se considera un logro significativo. Puedes engañar a cualquiera en una fiesta diciéndoles lo buenos que son tus hijos. Eso es algo de lo que puedes estar orgulloso. El único problema es la fase inicial, los primeros 18 años de la vida de sus hijos que determinan la persona en la que se convertirán. ¿Cómo abordas este problema? 
¿Qué pasaría si alguien le dijera que hay una manera de criar a los niños sin todo el alboroto y otros problemas de crianza con los que ya está demasiado familiarizado? Muchos estudios científicos han demostrado que existe una solución que tiene efectos psicológicos potentes, positivos y permanentes en los niños. ¿La mejor parte? No requiere que seas violento. 
Intrigado? Todas las respuestas que necesita están aquí en este libro.
