Nicola Tyson: Selected Paintings 1993-2022 is the first comprehensive monograph of paintings by British-born, New York-based artist Nicola Tyson (b. 1960). Tyson’s figurative works focus on the female body – presenting recognisable forms through an abstracted lens that morphs her subjects into fluid, dreamlike characters. This catalogue documents the evolution of Tyson’s unique painterly language over the course of three decades, featuring over 50 artworks interwoven with a series of photographs taken of Tyson in the studio and on her farm in upstate New York.Also featured is an essay by Jennifer Higgie that discusses Tyson’s feminist-informed approach to figurative painting, looking to her formative years running the queer experimental project space Trial BALLOON in New York during the 1990s, right up to the present day.

The first serious study on the paintings of the female icon and one of the most celebrated British artists, Tracey Emin Dame Tracey Emin DBE is known for her frank, confessional style and for transforming her inner world into intimate works of art. She has become one of the most celebrated artists in the world, a household name, and part of the Art establishment. Her practice includes painting, drawing, film, photography, sewn appliqué, sculpture, and neon, but in recent years she has focused on painting. Inspired by artists Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch, her paintings are provocative, confrontational, and vulnerable. They are at once deeply personal and universal, and it’s for this reason her work is revered around the world, and she has become an international icon. The book features more than 300 images of Emin’s gestural and expressive figurative paintings, from the 1990s to today, as well as a conversation with close friend David Dawson and an essay by Australian writer Jennifer Higgie. Made in close collaboration with the artist, this special book is the first publication dedicated to Emin’s emotive paintings and showcases her soulful work like never before.

''Endlessly intriguing . . . I was enchanted'' - DAILY TELEGRAPH''Illuminating in every sense of the word'' - John HiggsIn an illuminating blend of memoir and art history, The Other Side explores the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women artists. From the twelfth-century mystic Hildegard of Bingen and the nineteenth-century spiritualist Georgiana Houghton to the pioneering Hilma af Klint, these women all - in their own unique ways - shared the same goal: to communicate with, and learn from, other dimensions. Weaving in and out of their myriad lives, Jennifer Higgie considers the solace of ritual, the gender exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art.

Extraordinary'' DAILY MAIL''A bewitching, invigorating history'' OLIVIA LAING''Grips from the opening pages'' FINANCIAL TIMES''Important and brilliantly accessible'' VOGUEUntil the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In THE MIRROR AND THE PALETTE, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery.

Zaha Hadid is widely regarded as a visionary and influential architect, who became globally acclaimed by the time of her untimely death in 2016. This book is the first to focus on how painting was fundamental to her practice. During the first 20 years of her career, she earned her reputation through 'paper architecture': projects which were widely published in architecture journals and exhibited, but which remained largely unbuilt.Influenced by the Suprematists, she used her paintings as design tools and abstraction as an investigative structure for imagining architecture. Drawing extensively on interviews with Hadid's contemporaries and her team of assistants and her past presentations and in-depth interviews, this book is the first to focus on the important aspect of Hadid's work. It examines selected paintings in detail, both critically assessing them in the wider context of 20th-century fine art - in relation to the Suprematists, de Stijl, Cubism and Futurism - and offering insights into how Hadid used the paintings to develop architectural and spatial ideas, which she would later realise in her buildings.The paintings were created at a pivotal time in architecture, just before the move away from hand drawing to computers and many of Hadid's paintings pre-empt the ...

Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time-war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment-a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science.After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched.In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play.

„MEMOÁRY BEZ RUKAVIC“ OD MIKEA TYSONA, BÝVALÉHO MISTRA SVĚTA TĚŽKÉ VÁHY - A LEGENDY V RINGU I MIMO NĚJ.Filozof, hvězda Broadwaye, boxer, zločinec – za tři desetiletí na očích veřejnosti se Mike Tyson vzepřel stereotypům, očekáváním a konvencím. Ze šikanovaného kluka z nejchudší čtvrti Brooklynu se stal Tyson jedním z nejatraktivnějších a nejzuřivějších boxerů historie - a také nejmladším mistrem světa těžké váhy všech dob. Ale jeho záře v ringu byla častokrát ohrožena bezohledným chováním. Léta bujarých večírků, násilnických soubojů a trestních řízení si vybraly svou daň: v roce 2003 spadl Tyson na úplné dno, odsouzený zločinec, zbankrotovaný, pointa tisíců špatných vtipů v televizních show. Ale vybojoval si cestu zpátky; jako člověk, který tvrdil, že byl závislým „na všem“, si opět vydobyl úspěch, svou důstojnost a lásku své rodiny: svou triumfální one-man show, nezapomenutelným výkonem ve filmu Pařba ve Vegas, svým nově nalezeným štěstím a vyrovnaností v roli otce a manžela. Tysonův příběh je fascinujícím americkým originálem. Tyson zaznamenává své bouřlivé stavy nahoře a dole brutálně upřímně, syrově a častokrát vesele, ale taky stejně upřímným a přímočarým způsobem, jaký jsme od něj jako od legendárného sportovce očekávali.

Keď som začal písať túto knihu, vážil som 178 kíl a zápasil s hlbokou depresiou. V tom čase som vo svojom živote videl a cítil len bolesť. Opasky, sláva majstra sveta v ťažkej váhe – naplnenie celoživotného sna v roku 2015 – mi priniesli len chladný, prázdny pocit, ktorý ma neopúšťal. Ten ma nakoniec priviedol k pokusu vziať si vlastný život. Ale o dva roky neskôr ma už mnohí považovali za muža číslo jeden v ťažkej váhe. Po návrate z priepasti som bol v silnejšej forme než kedykoľvek predtým a šťastnejší než kedykoľvek predtým, s úžasnou chuťou žiť, aj keď si neustále uvedomujem, že moje problémy s duševným zdravím nikdy úplne nezmiznú.

The period between the late 1800s and the late 1920s was the heyday of the road steam traction engine. Prior to that, ‘portable’ steam engines were pulled by horses from farm to farm to provide the power unit for belting to machinery for tasks such as the annual threshing. The invention of the self-moving traction engine brought many advances, always staying one jump ahead of amendments to the Locomotive Acts. Fairground operators hauled their huge road train of rides to the next fair; ploughing engines and threshing engines travelled from farm to farm; road hauliers carried huge loads; and steam rollers laid and mended the roads. The availability of cheap surplus First World War petrol vehicles saw road hauliers and fairground showmen dispense with the ‘hassle’ of operating steam vehicles, yet there were still manufacturers making steam wagons until the late 1930s and several councils carried on operating true steam rollers right into the 1960s.Colin Tyson presents a vibrant selection of images celebrating traction engines in all their many and varied forms when ‘steam ruled the roads’.
