Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This publication celebrates an extraordinary collection of drawings
and prints by Paul Cézanne that has been gifted and placed on
long-term loan to the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, by
gallerist, collector, author and founder of Ridinghouse, Karsten
Schubert. This important act of generosity means that the Whitworth
now holds the best collection of Cézanne works on paper in the
United Kingdom, including a version of every print produced by the
artist. These works will significantly expand the research
potential of the Whitworth’s important collection of late
19th-century French and Dutch drawings by artists including Van
Gogh, Seurat, Gauguin and Pissarro – whose portrait of Cézanne
is included in this publication. The book also draws together other
artistic copies: Raimondi’s copy of Raphael’s Judgement of
Paris and, bringing us to the present day, Michael Landy’s
Cézanne Bathers. The publication features a lead essay by
renowned Impressionist scholar Richard Thomson on the significance
of the bequest, a biographical essay on Karsten Schubert by Richard
Shone, an interview with Schubert by Yuval Etgar on the bequest,
and an essay by Christopher Lloyd on how these works relate to
Cézanne’s output as a draughtsman. It also includes a detailed
catalogue section on all works in the exhibition, with
contributions by Elizabeth Cowling, Rosalind McKever, Colin Wiggins
and Edward Wouk.
These Catalan plays can perhaps best be seen in contrast to the
British tradition of 'state of the nation' and 'in yer face'
playwrighting. The plays are somewhat enigmatic and even
elliptical. They represent elements of a more 'European' less 'UK'
playwrighting style with echoes of early Pinter, maybe David
Mercer. There is just a hint of Mark Ravenhill/Sarah Kane but any
potential violence is purely implied.The Sales Complete is an
apparently non-political work concerned with three characters
involved in the selling and buying of an apartment - solitary souls
who are lost in the desert of the modern world, seeking an arm to
cling on to so that they may be saved. It has a social context but
this is subservient to the characters' stilted emotional
interaction. A collision between the personal and the political; a
past affair that might just rekindle and present corruption in 'the
party'. Can he persuade her not to cause trouble for the party
leadership or will she ignore the feelings she still has for him to
bring the leadership down? "Black Beach" is more naturalistic but
even here we are not really told exactly what the politics of 'the
party' is.
