A close look at the work, relationship, and shared influences of
two masterful 20th-century artists "The camera," said Orson Welles,
"is a medium via which messages reach us from another world." It
was the camera and the circumstances of the Second World War that
first brought together Henry Moore (1898-1986) and Bill Brandt
(1904-1983). During the Blitz, both artists produced images
depicting civilians sheltering in the London Underground. These
"shelter pictures" were circulated to millions via popular
magazines and today rank as iconic works of their time. This book
begins with these wartime works and examines the artists'
intersecting paths in the postwar period. Key themes include war,
industry, and the coal mine; landscape and Britain's great
megalithic sites; found objects; and the human body. Special
photographic reproduction captures the materiality of the print as
a three-dimensional object rather than a flat, disembodied image on
the page. Published by the Yale Center for British Art/Distributed

Sculpture Victorious highlights the diversity, originality, and
ubiquity of sculptural production during the reign of Queen
Victoria. This lavishly illustrated book examines how colorful
marbles, bronzes, finely wrought silver, and exquisitely detailed
electrotypes, as well as gems, cameos, and porcelain, related to
and contributed to the contemporary world. In an age of
unprecedented territorial expansion, sculpture reflected the power
of the British empire; at the same time, increased access to
materials and resources facilitated artistic production and
innovation. The partnership between art and industry was equally
generative and creative, enabling daring explorations of
sculpture's possibilities, both political and aesthetic. Bringing
to bear a range of materials including statuary, reliefs, models,
drawings, and objets d'art, as well as prints, photographs, and
paintings, this stunning tome assembles, for the first time, the
vibrancy, inventiveness, and modernity of Victorian sculpture.

Britain in the World presents highlights from the collection of the
Yale Center for British Art. Included alongside iconic works-such
as George Stubbs's Zebra, Sir Joshua Reynolds's Miss Prue, and J.
M. W. Turner's Dort-are diverse and fascinating objects that range
from the Tudor period to the present day. Featuring work by John
Constable, William Henry Fox Talbot, Barbara Hepworth, Chris Ofili,
and Yinka Shonibare, this beautifully illustrated book offers a
valuable glimpse into the Center's vast and varied holdings. It
also reveals British art as a global phenomenon, shaped and
characterized by cultural exchange, exploration, scientific
discovery, and, crucially, by the long history of colonialism and
empire. This book illustrates the myriad ways in which visible and
invisible global connections are present in the visual and material
culture of Britain. Published in association with the Yale Center

With a career spanning more than sixty years, Anthony Caro (b.
1924) is one of Britain's most acclaimed and best-known sculptors.
Caro: Close Up accompanies the first survey exhibition of his work
in an American museum since his retrospective at the Museum of
Modern Art in 1975. Although celebrated for his large, brightly
painted abstract sculptures, Caro has also produced drawings and
small-scale works of a more private nature throughout his career.
The full range of his oeuvre includes works on paper, sculptures
constructed in paper and cardboard, and abstract works of steel,
bronze, and clay. Featuring new photography of more than sixty
works drawn almost entirely from Caro's studio and family
collections, this publication examines the critical responses that
Caro's work has elicited from the 1950s to the present and
considers his role in current artistic practice. The authors
explore the ways the sculptor has used the physical properties of
his materials, while Caro himself discusses his exhibition and
installation practices. Published for the Yale Center for British
