‘The very grubby coalface of foreign policy … I found the entire book most horribly addictive’ Independent ‘One of the unexpected responses to reading this masterful study is amazement at the efforts the British and French each put into undermining the other’ Spectator A fascinating insight into the untold story of how British-French rivalry drew the battle-lines of the modern Middle East. In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, two men secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them. Sir Mark Sykes was a visionary politician; François Georges-Picot a diplomat with a grudge. They drew a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier, and together remade the map of the Middle East, with Britain’s #39;mandates #39; of Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq, and France #39;s in Lebanon and Syria. Over the next thirty years a sordid tale of violence and clandestine political manoeuvring unfolded, told here through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle. Using declassified papers from the British and French archives, James Barr vividly depicts the covert, deadly war of intrigue and espionage between Britain and France to rule the Middle East, and reveals the shocking way in which the French finally got their revenge.

An absorbing group biography revealing how exiles from war-torn France brought Surrealism to America, helping to shift the centre of the art world from Paris to New York and spark the movement that became Abstract Expressionism. In 1957 the American artist Robert Motherwell made an unexpected claim: ‘I have only known two painting milieus well … the Parisian Surrealists, with whom I began painting seriously in New York in 1940, and the native movement that has come to be known as “abstract expressionism”, but which genetically would have been more properly called “abstract surrealism”.’ Motherwell’s bold assertion, that Abstract Expressionism was neither new nor local, but born of a brief liaison between America and France, verged on the controversial. Surrealists in New York tells the story of this ‘liaison’ and the European exiles who bought Surrealism with them – an artistic exchange between the Old World and the New – centring on taciturn printmaker Stanley William Hayter and the legendary Atelier 17 print studio he founded. Here artists’ experiments literally pushed the boundaries of modern art. It was in Hayter’s studio that Jackson Pollock found the balance of freedom and control that would culminate in his distinctive drip paintings. The impact of Max Ernst, André Masson, Louise Bourgeois and other noted émigrés on the work of Motherwell, Pollock, Mark Rothko and the American avant-garde has for too long been quietly written out of art history. Drawing on first-hand documents, interviews and archive materials, Charles Darwent brings to life the events and personalities from this crucial encounter. In so doing, he reveals a fascinating new perspective on the history of the art of the twentieth century.

Art meets food in this sublime celebration of thirty years of cooking and hosting at The Arniano Painting School in Tuscany A peculiar attribute of the landscape surrounding Arniano is the ever-changing light. Early in the morning, there is an extraordinary mist that sits in the valley and interweaves through the hills, allowing just the tops to show above the smoky clouds. These changes bring with them new moods and shadows, drawing our painters to different views and areas of the garden throughout the day. By the evening, everything has altered again, and there are often intense sunsets, bringing silhouettes from the trees and much darker, richer, olive colours. There are many farmhouses in Tuscany, but few are quite so magical as Arniano. It is here, in this 18th-century podere, that Amber Guinness grew up and learned to cook. And it is here that she established The Arniano Painting School, a residential painting course and immersive art and food experience. As I look through the recipes and think about the common thread that binds them, I realise that they all exemplify a fundamental principle of Italian home cooking. Which is that simplicity - and keeping ingredients as close to their original form as possible - leads to the most delicious and rewarding food. The beauty of Italian cooking is that it is not about fancy sauces or preparation techniques. Rather, it is about bringing out the best in what you are cooking, through patience, constant tasting and the development of flavour - sometimes using nothing but some olive oil and salt. Filled with recipes for classic dishes and cocktails, feast curation, seasonal menu suggestions and notes on an Italian pantry and wines, A House Party in Tuscany will transport you to the Tuscan countryside and bring the conviviality of Arniano to your table.

The Sunday Times Bestseller. #39;Breathtaking. Kim Hughes is the man who stands between us and oblivion. #39; Andy McNab (author of Bravo Two Zero) #39;An uplifting and enlightening account of the personal courage and dedication required to do a very lonely job in the most extreme of conditions #39;. John Nichol (The Mail On Sunday) This is a book about science, bombs, and what happens to the human psyche when every day you go to work might be your last. Kim Hughes is the most highly decorated bomb disposal operator serving in the British Army. He was awarded the George Cross in 2009 following a grueling six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan during which he defused 119 improvised explosive devices, survived numerous Taliban ambushes and endured a close encounter with the Secretary of State for Defence. The back drop to Painting the Sand is the Afghan War, the conflict where the cold courage of the bomb disposal operator rose to national prominence. No other field of warfare offers the chance of a single individual to come so close to his enemy and fight out a battle of wits where losing can mean death. This is one of the best memoirs that will come out of a ten-year struggle to defeat a hidden, and enduring, enemy.

Druhé řadové studiové album projektu ORM je rychlokurzem, jak se během čtyř let přesunout od jednoduchého, ale vkusně zaranžovaného diska k okouzlující ilustrativní hudbě, progresivnímu rocku a chill-outu. A to dříve než chill-out vůbec vznikl! ORM strávili většinu 80.let jako tvůrci stojící za projektem popového pěveckého dua Kamelie (Hana a Dana). Také často skládali hudební podklady pro film a televizi. Na základě těchto zkušeností složili v roce 1983 převážně instrumentální album Tropic , které je bezpochyby nejlepším dílem v jejich diskografii. Je to zasvěcená jízda, kde se spojují disco rytmy s orientálními syntezátorovými dojmy, a táhlé skladby s kytarovými kreacemi, které zní jak nejlepší alba Camel! Podobně jako u jejich debutu Discofil , vše těší posluchače precizními aranžemi a skvělým citem. Album Tropic vychází poprvé na CD, remasterováno z původních pásů a obohaceno skladbami ze dvou singlů vydaných skupinou. Booklet obsahuje unikátní fotografie a informace o historii nahrávek.

Fundamental Painting (1975): Lessons in Minimalist Painting is the first account of this 1970s current and its role in the history of 20th century painting. The term Fundamental Painting was coined by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam as the title of a 1975 exhibition that sought to highlight a new kind of painting emerging on both sides of the Atlantic. It was built around Robert Ryman and included 18 artists from Europe and the United States. The then museum director of the Stedelijk Edy de Wilde called their artistic scope a reflection on the foundations of painting. In the first part of this book, Rajlich traces how the curators defined this specific current and its public as well as its critical reception. In the second part, she explains in detail the elements of paintings, how they are used in Fundamental Painting, and why. Next, Rajlich surveys the use of these painterly elements across 20th century abstract and non-objective painting in relation to the development of Minimalist painting. The last part of this book examines the effect of Fundamental Painting on its viewer in the context of art across the ages. It argues that Fundamental Painting goes beyond formalist concerns and seeks to engage with the concept of beauty as understood through the philosophy of aesthetics. Claudia Rajlich is a specialist in 20th century art and painting in general. She has extensive experience as an author, curator and art advisor for both public and private institutions. Her recent research has focused on non-objective art, the art market, and interdisciplinary questions around art collecting. Kniha Fundamental Painting (1975): Lessons in Minimalist Painting přináší první ucelené pojednání o fundamentální malbě a její roli v dějinách malířství 20. století. Termín fundamentální malba vytvořilo amsterdamské Stedelijk Museum a v roce 1975 jej použilo pro název výstavy, která se snažila upozornit na nový druh malby vznikající na obou stranách Atlantiku. Výstava představila 18 umělců z Evropy a ze Spojených států, včetně zakladatelské osobnosti Roberta Rymana. Tehdejší ředitel muzea Edy de Wilde označil jejich umělecké směřování jako reflexi základů malby . V první části knihy sleduje Claudia Rajlich, jak kurátoři definovali tento specifický proud a jak jej přijala kritická obec i veřejnost, ve druhé části pak autorka podrobně popisuje jednotlivé prvky obrazů a vysvětluje, jak je fundamentální malba používá a proč. Následně také zkoumá použití těchto malířských prvků v abstraktním a neobjektivním malířství 20. století ve vztahu k vývoji minimalistické malby. Závěr knihy je věnován působení fundamentální malby na diváka v kontextu umění v průběhu staletí. Autorka se domnívá, že tento druh malby překračuje rámec formalistických vymezení a že je významně provázán s konceptem krásy, jak jej chápe filozofie estetiky. Claudia Rajlich se specializuje na výtvarné umění 20. století, zejména na malbu. Má bohaté zkušenosti jako autorka, kurátorka a umělecká poradkyně pro veřejné i soukromé instituce. Aktuálně se zabývá neobjektivním uměním, trhem s uměním a interdisciplinárními otázkami, které se týkají sbírání umění.
