Margaret Aycock is an accomplished artist and experienced oil painting teacher. While her paintings often reflect the landscape in and around her home in Oklahoma, for this book, she travels to the French countryside, where pioneers of the Impressionist movement once found their inspiration. She too, found inspiration for her painterly landscapes in the acres of wild poppies, olive orchards, and vineyards that dotted the land around the abbey where she stayed. In this book Margaret Aycock demonstrates the complete oil painting process from field to studio with easy to understand instructions and practical tips and tricks. Students at all levels will benefit from step by step written instructions and full color photo examples. Readers will learn how to structure a pleasing composition, create a focal point, mix color, make, and use painting tools. She will illustrate how to hold a brush to achieve interesting effects, and how to use the thick over thin layering process to create a painterly style landscape. Beginners and accomplished artists will also benefit from the "homework" section at the back of the book. Pack your bags and enjoy the oil painting journey.

A highly anticipated biography of the enigmatic and popular Swedish painter. The Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was 44 years old when she broke with the academic tradition in which she had been trained. While her naturalistic landscapes and botanicals were shown during her lifetime, her body of radical, abstract works never received the same attention. Today, it is widely accepted that af Klint produced the earliest abstract paintings by a trained European artist. But this is only part of her story. Not only was she a successful woman artist, but she was also an avowed clairvoyant and mystic. Like many of the artists at the turn of the twentieth century who developed some version of abstract painting, af Klint studied Theosophy, which holds that science, art, and religion are all reflections of an underlying life-form that can be harnessed through meditation, study, and experimentation. Well before Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich declared themselves the inventors of abstraction, af Klint was working in a non-representational mode, producing a powerful visual language that continues to speak to audiences today. The exhibition of her work in 2018 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City attracted more than 600,000 visitors, making it the most-attended show in the history of the museum/institution. Despite her enormous popularity, there has not yet been a biography of af Klint-until now. Inspired by her first encounter with the artist's work in 2008, Julia Voss set out to learn Swedish and research af Klint's life-not only who the artist was but what drove and inspired her. The result is a fascinating biography of an artist who is as great as she is enigmatic.

Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkacsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art. After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet Andre Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp. We access the intimacy of Frida's affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, letters, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida's home and the center of her universe. This large-format XXL book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo's paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years, forming the most extensive study of Kahlo's work and life to date.

The five landscape series of 2002 have been made in quantities of eighty to one hundred panels, each set generally taking three weeks to complete. The subjects were drawn from personal journeys in the past five years. The panels are worked on flat, painting twenty at a time in fifteen minute bursts. They are laid out on an old framed 6' x 3' piece which is also serves as a container for the pool of colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden cubes are used to stack the panels in small towers to dry out. Various factors steer the series' development: there is an initial colour plan; I think about the loadbearing pressures on a place, tracks and crossing points, airflow, water, spaces and intervals, the nature of settlement in the land. For a city: light and shadows on buildings, streets, side alleys and hidden courtyards, people, stores, traffic, noise, incidents and interruptions. I may use rough handling of the medium to make it work, paint responds to that. The panels form a continuing conversation with the colour plan, titles are assigned later to photographs of the line of production. The identity of a place is achieved not by literal description but as an equivalent found by coincidence in the passage of an abstract process. Philip James, Cv/Visual Arts Research, July '02
