Between 1958 and 1961, William Crozier painted a series of daring
and original landscapes. He lived in north Essex at the time and
found inspiration in that bleak environment, even as he looked
inwards to give his paintings existential angst. William Crozier:
Nature into Abstraction brings these works together for the first
time since the 1960s. William Crozier: Nature into Abstraction is a
fully illustrated catalogue including a poignant introduction by
the art critic and writer Thomas Marks. The book shows Crozier to
be one of the leading artists in post-war Britain and is published
to accompany an exhibition of the same title at The Lightbox,
Woking. A prolific artist who produced a dizzying range of styles
over short periods of time, William Crozier has yet to receive the
recognition his work deserves. This publication offers a detailed
look at just three years of the artist's career, addressing a gap
in the existing literature about Crozier.
This important book presents the work of the fascinating and
singular artist Luigi Pericle (1916–2001). Pericle was a painter,
illustrator and scholar, as well as a leading figure in the story
of art in the second half of the twentieth century. The artist
initially found fame as an illustrator, gaining widespread renown
in the 1950s as the inventor of the character Max the Marmot. But
his intense, enigmatic and multi-layered paintings increasingly
drew the attention of the art world, with works that reflect his
personal, metaphysical take on post-war abstraction exhibited at
numerous venues in Britain during the 1960s. Pericle then abruptly
retreated from the art system, and for the rest of his life
continued to paint, write and to study esoteric philosophy in the
secluded house he shared with his wife Orsolina on Monte Verit 
in the Ticino region of Switzerland. The artist’s work was
dramatically rediscovered in 2016 when the contents of his former
residence were revealed. The process of restoring, cataloguing and
researching his vast oeuvre is ongoing, and is overseen by
Ascona’s Archivio Luigi Pericle, with which the exhibition has
been organised. This beautifully illustrated publication, which
accompanies an exhibition at the Estorick Collection, London,
includes a full catalogue of the works, as well as essays by noted
scholars.

Anna Freeman Bentley’s paintings use architectural imagery to
explore the emotive potential of space. Grounded in an interest in
the baroque her source material includes junk shops, restaurants,
private members clubs, flea markets and designed interiors. Central
to her work is an investigation into surface, tension and the
atmosphere evoked by these different interior surroundings. The
spaces she depicts are empty, yet visual signifiers point to
evidence of people and social happenings. This, Freeman Bentley’s
third publication to date, is centred on the relationship between
painting and cinema and is divided into sections dedicated to major
paintings on canvas and panel, and a number of works on paper (all
works 2021–22). Freeman Bentley’s work here is focused on sets
from 'The Colour Room' (2021), a film that tells the story of the
early career of celebrated British ceramicist Clarice Cliff
(1899–1972). The foreword to the book is written by Rollo
Campbell and Matt Incledon of Frestonian Gallery. An essay by
writer and critic Thomas Marks draws out the importance to her work
of historic and contemporary cinema and temporary architecture.
Marks notes a change in palette in these new paintings, with
Freeman Bentley embracing pastels and tracing parallels between the
artist herself and Cliff. An interview with Georgie Paget,
co-founder of Caspian Films, production company for 'The Colour
Room', meanwhile, provides insight into the artist’s particular
interest in the artifice of film props and of the film set as a
layered space ‘steeped in meaning, purpose and potential.’ The
two discuss the reciprocity of painting and cinema in detail,
recounting Freeman Bentley’s experiences on the film’s sets and
discussing her working processes, beginning with taking photographs
on set, through to oil sketches and the later development of
large-scale canvases. The publication is edited by Matt Incledon
and Matt Price. It is designed by Joe Gilmore, printed and bound by
Gomer, Wales, and co-published by Frestonian Gallery, London, and
Anomie Publishing, London. The publication coincides with the
second solo show by Anna Freeman Bentley at Frestonian Gallery, by
whom the artist is represented. The exhibition, also titled ‘make
believe’ is divided between two sites: the 2022 Armory Show, New
York, and Frestonian Gallery, London. Anna Freeman Bentley studied
Painting at Chelsea College of Art, Kunsthochschule Berlin
Weissensee and the Royal College of Art. Awards and residencies
include Palazzo Monti Residency, Brescia, Italy, 2019; The
Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant 2019 and 2017, and Artist
in Restaurant residency at Michelin-starred restaurant Pied Ã
Terre, London, 2012. Selected exhibitions (* denotes solo) include
DENK Gallery, Los Angeles, 2019*, Ahmanson Gallery, Irvine, 2018*;
Space K, Seoul, 2017; 68projects, Berlin, 2017; the East London
Painting Prize 2014 and 2015; Workshop Gallery, Venice, 2012*; MAC
Birmingham, 2011; Prague Biennale, 2011, and the Bloomberg New
Contemporaries, 2009. Her work is part of the Hotel Crillon
collection, Paris; Saatchi Collection, London; Hogan Lovells
Collection, London; the Ahmanson Collection, California, and
numerous private collections worldwide.

Hughie O’Donoghue (b. 1953) explores themes of universal human
experience, ideas of truth and the relationship between memory and
identity. Often standing apart from his contemporaries in the scale
and ambition of his paintings, O’Donoghue’s work addresses the
need to learn the lessons and complexities of recent history
through the lens of the often overlooked and anonymous individual.
Beautifully illustrated, encompassing four decades of work, this
major publication is the broadest survey of the artist to date.
Including new writing from the artist alongside four commissioned
essays by leading art historians and critics, with a preface by the
poet Tom Paulin, this comprehensive book documents O’Donoghue’s
ambitious vision.
For more than a decade, "Clear and Simple as the Truth" has
guided readers to consider style not as an elegant accessory of
effective prose but as its very heart. Francis-Noel Thomas and Mark
Turner present writing as an intellectual activity, not a passive
application of verbal skills. In classic style, the motive is
truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader and writer are
intellectual equals, and the occasion is informal. This general
style of presentation is at home everywhere, from business memos to
personal letters and from magazine articles to student essays.
Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of
this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider
style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its
very heart.
At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what
can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal
correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall
into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of
grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to
effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will
lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better
writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas
and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different
standards.
The book is divided into four parts. The first, "Principles of
Classic Style," defines the style and contrasts it with a number of
others. "The Museum" is a guided tour through examples of writing,
both exquisite and execrable. "The Studio," new to this edition,
presents a series of structured exercises. Finally, "Further
Readings in Classic Prose" offers a list of additional examples
drawn from a range of times, places, and subjects. A companion
website, classicprose.com, offers supplementary examples, exhibits,
and commentary, and features a selection of pieces written by
students in courses that used "Clear and Simple as the Truth" as a
textbook."
Techniques on how to gain greater fluidity of movement while
playing to improve the quality of the experience are offered in
this manual for serious piano players. This book encourages
musicians to develop a broader understanding of the involvement of
the entire body in playing -- and the strains playing places on the
body -- by focusing on body mapping to increase awareness of the
body's function, size, and structure. Ways in which piano, organ,
harpsichord, clavichord, and digital keyboard players can eliminate
or prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and other debilitating conditions
without traditional medical treatments are also explored.

programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to
recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many
styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and
Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive,
practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and
others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are
simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the
purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and
the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything
from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to
university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of
examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked
and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas
Jefferson to Junichir? Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the
observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances
in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally
published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
