Taking on the myth of France's creative exhaustion following World
War II, this collection of essays brings together an international
team of scholars, whose research offers English readers a rich and
complex overview of the place of France and French artists in the
visual arts since 1945. Addressing a wide range of artistic
practices, spanning over seven decades, and using different
methodologies, their contributions cover ground charted and
unknown. They introduce greater depth and specificity to familiar
artists and movements, such as Lettrism, Situationist International
or Nouveau Realisme, while bringing to the fore lesser known
artists and groups, including GRAPUS, the Sociological Art
Collective, and Nicolas Schoeffer. Collectively, they stress the
political dimensions and social ambitions of the art produced in
France at the time, deconstruct the traditional geography of the
French art world, and highlight the multiculturalism of the French
art scene that resulted from its colonial past and the constant
flux of artistic travels and migrations. Ultimately, the book
contributes to a story of postwar art in which France can be
inscribed not as a main or sub chapter, but rather as a vector in
the wider constellation of modern and contemporary art.

Abstract landscape painting expresses emotion while still capturing
the essence of a landscape. This compelling book explores this
suggestive style first developed by Turner. Using the
hauntingly-beautiful paintings of Gareth Edwards, it explores the
technical, historical and psychological dimensions of abstract
landscape painting to help you develop your own skilful and
intensely personal approach. Through this new book you can learn
about how to begin an abstract landscape painting, using chance
application; understand how to 'manage accidents' to create
innovative pieces of work; discover the importance of effective
composition and how this navigates the viewer's journey; determine
the importance of the 'invisible' elements of painting: the
unspoken value of the viewer and the influence of 'looking'. It
also reveals how to utilize a convergence of linear and atmospheric
perspective to help your viewer traverse the picture plane and
helps you understand the importance of light, space, colour, and
tone in generating evocative paintings. Finally, it encourages you
to be more demanding of your surface, using textural techniques and
glazing to achieve professional production values. It is a unique
and exciting book into this under-documented genre.
