"... This study of the manufacture, selection and use of the papers that Turner worked on during the first half of his career is an introduction to the depths of that knowledge and experience. It charts the constantly developing relationship between his often very imaginative techniques and the grounds he worked on. It documents his complex responses to the rapid changes and increasing sophistication of the design and production of papers for artists. The focus in this ... are the years 1787-1820."--publisher.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti's house in Chelsea was a bohemian enclave in Victorian London, the social centre for such rebels as the visionary painter Edward Burne-Jones, the socialist William Morris, the aesthete James McNeil Whistler and the poet Charles Swinburne. The rumours it aroused mixed fact and fiction to tell of love affairs between artists and models, of noctural rambles and drunken poetry recitations, of the house's collection of Oriental china, medieval musical instruments and exotic animals. But fact of fantasy, the circle's bohemian image was inseparable from their artistic experiments.

Turner published two volumes of views of the River Seine in the early 1830s, when he was at the height of his success. All of the watercolours he completed for the project are reproduced in this book, along with many of his preliminary studies. As the text demonstrates, the watercolours are born out of Turner's long familiarity with the river. His views came as part of an explosion in the market for travel books, particularly for the area between Paris and the coast, and a number of these comparable publications, with their illustrations by some of Turner's finest rivals, are discussed. The book also examines how Turner confronted the technical innovations of the new age, making contemporary features, such as canals and steamboats, the subjects of his pictures, and thereby preparing the ground for masterpieces such as The Fighting Temeraire.

Leon Kossoff

Leon Kossoff is one of the most distinctive British artists of the post-war period. Born in Islington in 1926, Kossoff has spent most of his life in the city of his birth and the changing face of London's urban landscape has been a major theme of his art. In the 1950s, Kossoff's dramatic paintings and drawings of bomb sites documented the aftermath of war. These led, in the following decade, to panoramic railway landscapes which charted the city's rebirth and regeneration. In London's railways - from King's Cross to Kilburn Underground station - Kossoff found a focus for the lifeblood of the city. His paintings of these motifs, and of swimming pools, street scenes, markets and London's buildings, form a vivid portrait of modern life in a great metropolis. Kossoff's fascination with London has been complemented by his parallel concern with people. The figure has been a central preoccupation. His subjects are members of his family, friends and models with whom he has forged close working relationships. His portraits of these individuals, and his intimate studies of the nude, are powerful and moving evocations of the human presence. This catalogue is published to coincide with the Tate Gallery's major retrospective exhibition of Kossoff's work - the first survey of his career from the 1950s to the present. It reproduces in color every work in the exhibition and contains an illustrated essay by Paul Moorhouse, the exhibition's curator, which explores in detail the development of Kossoff's art. There is also a biographical chronology with archival photographs, and an extensive bibliography.
