Digitised facsimiles, with notes and transcription, of the earliest printed texts produced in Scotland. In 1508 the partnership of Andrew Myllar and Walter Chepman brought printing to Scotland. Their early publications brought into print works by two of medieval Scotland's most celebrated poets, Robert Henryson and William Dunbar, Walter Kennedy and Robert Henryson; they also contain less well-known but important poems and prose in Scots and in English by other writers. The prints feature a wide variety of genres: romance; fable; advice to princes; chivalrictreatise; lyric; dream vision; along with a classic example (by Dunbar and Walter Kennedy) of the Scots genre of `flyting', a stylised but scurrilous exchange of poetic insults. In celebration of the anniversary, the Scottish Text Society, in association with the National Library for Scotland, has published a DVD of prints produced by Chepman and Myllar in or close to 1508, containing digitised facsimiles of each of the twenty printed items. Eachfacsimile is accompanied by a headnote, explaining the print's literary significance and technical features, and a transcription. There is also an introduction by the general editor, SALLY MAPSTONE, which sets the Chepman and Myllar press within the context of early sixteenth-century Scotland and Scottish book history. The edition thus gives readers informative access to Scotland's earliest texts; easily navigable, it will become a vital teaching and research tool. CONTRIBUTORS: PRISCILLA BAWCUTT, A.S.G.

THE ART OF RICHARD LONG The central fact and act of Richard Long's art is walking. His work is founded on the art of walking, the act of walking, the actuality of walking, and on walking as art, as act, as experience. His walks become 'artwalks', artwalks which become artworks. Richard Long is a British land artist and sculptor who works with and in the natural world, but also with and within the highly sophisticated, artificial and humanmade world of art and culture. 'I too wanted to make nature the subject of my work, ' Long explained of his early work, 'but in new ways. I started working outside using natural materials like grass and water, and this evolved into the idea of making a sculpture by walking'. Richard Long is sometimes termed a 'Romantic' sculptor, and part of this book relates his art to British Romanticism, as found in the literature of William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and others, and the British landscape tradition, as in J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, Thomas Girtin and other landscape painters. Aspects of British Romantic culture in 20th century and 21st century art also considered (such as the 'New Ruralists', 'New Romantics', 'New Arcadians' and 'Neo-Romantics'). Malpas also explore some of the aspects of Romantic culture in Europe as well as Britain. In the course of this book William Malpas references many of Richard Long's contemporary British sculptors (Tony Cragg, Bill Woodrow, David Nash, Barry Flanagan, Alison Wilding, Shirazeh Houshiary, Hamish Fulton, Anthony Caro, Anish Kapoor and Anthony Gormley). Further chapters include: one on women, feminist, body art and performance sculptors, as a comparison with Richard Long's art, which has a strong component of performance (even if it's nearly always private). In the chapter on Minimal, Conceptual, Process and other 1960s and post-1960s art and artists, I'm interested in the artists (primarily European and American) who have most in common with Long's art: the great Minimal and land artists, such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dennis Oppenheim and James Turrell, and the important Conceptual artists, such as Bruce Nauman, Yves Klein and Lawrence Weiner. Fully illustrated, with a newly revised text. Bibliography and notes. www.crmoon.com AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a revised edition of a book first published back in 1994. It includes information of the more recent exhibitions and artworks of Richard Long. The book has involved a good deal of research into Long's art over the years, which has been updated in further editions. I hope that readers will gain some new insights into the artist's work and that of his contemporaries. REVIEW ON AMAZON: Very satisfied with this book. It includes not only detailed information about Long's work, but also discusses other related artists, such as Barnett Newman, and other related topics, including sculpture, installation and text in art. All in all a very interesting book.

The illustrator behind the highly-acclaimed books NYC Storefronts, London Shopfronts, and Brooklyn Storefronts turns his eye—and pen— to the City of Light.

Brimming with joie de vivre and delightful detail, this journey through Paris’s neighborhoods captures two hundred intriguing storefronts that help make the city a shopper’s and tourist’s paradise.

Paris-based journalist Vivian Song’s text provides an insider’s perspective as to why each location is worthy of a stop on any itinerary. There are plenty of iconic stores here: Le Bon Marché, France’s first department store; Shakespeare and Company, the most famous English- language bookshop in the city; and the Ladurée macaron shop.

But there’s also a bounty of lesser-known places, like a Moroccan restaurant frequented by the city’s top chefs; a taxidermist’s mecca; and a historic lingerie shop that birthed the predecessor of the modern-day brazier. From the Marais to Montmartre, the Latin Quarter to the 1st Arrondissement, this delightful book offers a unique glimpse into what makes the city a magical and wonderfully diverse place to walk and shop.

'I won't read a more interesting book all year... utterly fascinating' A. N. Wilson, Sunday Times 'Enormously good-humoured and entertaining... Hockney asks big questions about the nature of picture-making and the relationship between painters and photography in a way that no other contemporary artists seems to.' Andrew Marr, New Statesman A new, compact edition of David Hockney and Martin Gayford's brilliantly original book, with a revised final chapter and three entirely new Hockney artworks Informed and energized by a lifetime of painting, drawing and making images with cameras, David Hockney, in collaboration with the art critic Martin Gayford, explores how and why pictures have been made across the millennia. What makes marks on a flat surface interesting? How do you show movement in a still picture, and how, conversely, do films and television connect with old masters? Juxtaposing a rich variety of images - a still from a Disney cartoon with a Japanese woodblock print by Hiroshige, a scene from an Eisenstein film with a Velazquez painting - the authors cross the normal boundaries between high culture and popular entertainment, and make unexpected connections across time and media. Building on Hockney's groundbreaking book Secret Knowledge, they argue that film, photography, painting and drawing are deeply interconnected. Insightful and thought provoking, A History of Pictures is an important contribution to our appreciation of how we represent our reality. This new edition has a revised final chapter with some of Hockney's latest works, including the stained-glass window in Westminster Abbey.

THE ART OF WRITING ABOUT ART serves as a quick reference for students writing various types of essays, research papers, exhibition reviews, and even examinations. The premise of the book is that students in all disciplines, not just English, should be required to write well and that their instructors should hold these writing assignments to high standards. THE ART OF WRITING ABOUT ART not only emphasizes skills in college-level composition, but also in verbalizing the experience of art -- the historical, social, economic, and political forces that shape art and artists; art theory; and the interplay between artist and viewer.

Today, known for its black and white portraits covering entire buildings, Hendrik Beikirch today presents the Siberia project, a project in the continuity of Tracing Morocco started in 2014. The intensity of these powerful foreign faces recalls a familiarity that can be experienced anywhere in the world. Beikirch takes these studies of humanity with him on his travels and permeates them as traces of personified life in new contexts. The project is the result of Beikirch's meeting with this distant immensity that is Siberia. From this project was born the book Siberia, which gives an overview of all the works created, paintings, and 10 murals carried out all over the world. Text in English, French and Russian.
