"Maggi Hambling, one of today's most celebrated British artist, takes a revealing and often hilarious look at her career to date. In a series of frank conversations with Andrew Lambirth, Hambling surveys her innovative and often controversial output as painter and sculptor." "Public recognition came in 1980 when she was chosen as the first Artist in Residence at the National Gallery. Later, through her idiosyncratic appearances on Channel 4's cult television art quiz 'Gallery', chaired by George Melly, Hambling became visible to a wider audience. Prolific and unafraid of confrontation, Hambling has followed the dictates of a demanding muse, rather than pandering to the conventions of the art world. Her work engages profoundly with the condition in images of tough but lyrical figuration highly appropriate for a new century."--BOOK JACKET.
Maggi Hambling is one of Britain's most celebrated and controversial contemporary artists. Her best-known works are her public sculpture of Oscar Wilde in London and The Scallop, celebrating composer Benjamin Britten, on the beach at Aldeburgh. But her paintings are just as remarkable, stirring emotions through broad, intense brush strokes and an unflinchingly direct engagement with her subject matter. Possessing a candor and emotiveness that is at odds with much contemporary art, Hambling's paintings are distinct and unforgettable. War Requiem for the first time brings together Hambling's many paintings of battlefields and the victims of war. Though fiercely contemporary, the paintings nonetheless feel timeless and speak to conflicts everywhere--from the most ancient to those in the here and now. Published to accompany an exhibit of Hambling's work last summer at SNAP: Art at the Aldeburgh Festival, War Requiem stands as a bold testament to the anguish and absurdity of war. Essays by noted art historian James Cahill draw upon extensive interviews with the artist and help to place War Requiem within the larger context of Hambling's oeuvre. As the centennial of World War I brings inevitable public reflection about war and history, War Requiem offers a stark reminder of the costs of conflict.
Henrietta Moraes was a model for some of the most famous artists of our time, including Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. In the last year of her tempestuous life she was painted and drawn by the artist Maggi Hambling.

"When Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines opened The East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Dedham, Essex, in 1937 they were both established artists with international reputations...Their idea was to set up an art school which would provide an alternative to the formal courses offered by the art schools in the metropolis. The aim, as expressed in the school's brochure, was to provide 'an environment where students can work together with more experienced artists in a common endeavour to produce sincere painting.' The emphasis was on encouraging freedom of invention, enthusiasm, and enjoyment, with the assumption that the student 'believes himself to have a clear idea of creative work and requires help only in its production'...The extracts which form the text of this book are based largely on conversations with our contributors which took place during the years 1998 and 1999. Articles, extracts from an autobiography and a diary are also included. They comprise the affectionate memories of a few of those who knew and loved Benton End and its two gifted and hospitable hosts." -- from the Introduction.

This is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the entire career of British artist Richard Eurich (1903-1992), a figurative painter of compelling power and often visionary intensity who brought rare imaginative reserves to his depiction of the world around him, as well as to his apprehension of the mysterious and unseen. Eurich was a private man, not given to self-promotion, and as such has not received the widespread attention he deserves. The Art of Richard Eurich locates the artist within the context of 20th-century British art, demonstrating his relevance in all quarters of the art world of the period. Eurich was a draughtsman, landscape painter, teacher, war artist, autobiographer, marine painter extraordinaire, portrait painter, figure painter, satirist, genre painter, visual poet of the beach, and occasional sculptor. His many creative talents are united in this compelling analysis of the man who was responsible for them. Featuring a wide selection of his artworks, from the topographical to the visionary, from the drawn to the painted, this book unspools the narrative of Eurich's life through expertly selected paintings and drawings, and places him in relation to his fellow artists, friends, and contemporaries.
Michael Jackson, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, also has the distinction of being the most depicted cultural figure of the last fifty years. He was an inspiration for an extraordinary array of leading artists including Isa Genzken, Grayson Perry, Andy Warhol and Kehnde Wiley. This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, examines why so many contemporary artists have been drawn to Jackson as a subject and their artistic responses to him as an enduring international icon.
