THE ROMANS WHO SHAPED BRITAIN by Sam Moorhead and David Stuttard explores the lives of the characters who contributed to the development of the ancient island of Albion.

There were emperors, commanders, governors, officials and rebels all of whom lived their lives against the backdrop of an ever evolving landscape among many different tribes of people who made up the population. Each were driven by ambition, aspiration and passion for life and Rome. This book will remind us how extraordinary is the history of Britain and how great was the vision of those who founded the Roman Empire. They came, saw and conquered and misruled and finally they abandoned the province and retreated home.

In an illuminating popular history, for those who want to understand the powerful influence of Rome, now in paperback edition by author Chriss Scarre, is a CHRONICLE OF THE ROMAN EMPERORS: The Reign by Reign Record of the Rulers of Imperial Rome

For centuries before Rome became the centre of a great empire it was only a collection of small settlements founded on seven hills. These were above the River Tiber in the land we now know as Italy. The city of Rome finally came into being when the seven hill towns all collaborated to become one. During the reign of Augustus as Emperor Rome became a precinct of power and glory He regarded himself as the first among equals respecting the rights of all citizens. Far from flawless, the systems he put in place presented his successors with a unique opportunity to preside over the longest period of unity, peace, and prosperity that Western Europe, the Middle East and the North African seaboard had known in their entire recorded history.

This volume includes extensive biographical portraits of the 56 principal emperors from Augustus to Constantine, together with a concluding section on the later emperors, build into a highly readable single-volume history of imperial Rome. How good is that.

FRENCH FLAIR: Modern Vintage Interiors by Sébastien Siraudeau reveals that the best interiors achieve a splendid synthesis when there is harmony between fixed and movable decoration and furniture.

Simple and superb decorative touches add to an ambiance, in which a treasure trove of ideas are incorporated with tradition and timeless embellishments that together make a contemporary home. In French interiors there is little effort to make everything ‘match’ or even maintain a continuity of periods.

The French mix what they like with what they need and with what the family has handed down for centuries with an innate sense of great style, in a look that is eclectic and yet cohesive. The resultant interiors are warm and welcoming reflecting the needs, desires and the spirit and style of individuals in a particular time and in a particular place. It is all about an exuberant spirit, a love of life or joie de vivre and the savoire faire or innate style of France and its people. It can be yours too, but you have to dare and reach for it.

Sébastien Siraudeau’s resource will help you on your way. It brings together the wonderful interiors from Siraudeau’s four best-selling volumes, providing French home inspiration in an incredibly affordable package

A COLOURING BOOK: DRAWINGS BY ANDY WARHOL by Andy Warhol & Arthur Edelman is an interactive colour book created for Christmas 1961 that is filled with charming animal drawings.

This is a unique piece of work by Pop Art Prince Andy Warhol, who knew that art could create beauty or enhance our environment. Made at first for children of his and Edelman’s clients, it was finally published in 1990 to great acclaim.

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art’ said Andy Warhol, pop art Prince and King of many people’s perceptions. He used imagery, symbolism and knowledge well. He challenged everyone to live life outside the square through his art works. His studio used other talented people to produce work under his direction, just like any other manufacturing factory. This is like painters of times past who used other painters (draperymen) who were proficient in painting textiles like silks, satins and rich velvets to complete their clothing, while they produced the outline, the faces and the hands. Warhol exploited his own ideas and creative talent to make money and to have and enjoy his moment in the sun while helping others have their ‘15 minutes of fame’, a phrase that he coined.

About the Author
Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is often cited, next to Jackson Pollock, as among the top American artists of the last century. Others name him, alongside Pablo Picasso, as one of the most important 20th-century artists in the world. Wherever one places him, Warhol’s reach is indisputable. His visual vocabulary has become a part of the vernacular from which it originally came.

A YORKSHIRE SKETCHBOOK – David Hockney

Posted on January 24th, 2012 by Carolyn in Art

A YORKSHIRE SKETCHBOOK by David Hockney reveals the mastery of his technique in capturing the changing light and nuances of colour, shade and movement in the wild and rugged Yorkshire landscape in England.

English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer David Hockney (1937 – ) is perhaps the best-known of the British artists of his generation. He is well known for his ability to seek out the essence of the subject he is addressing, whatever the medium.

With great with, flair and style he has dealt with many big spatial issues, such as the illusions thrown up by time and space. In areas like the Grand Canyon, where you are looking out on one of the biggest natural ‘spaces’ in the world, in order to reveal its many complexities he restorted to layering photographs to give a wider perspective in collage format.

In 1997 he returned to the landscape where he had grown up, Yorkshire in England, where a friend since childhood was dying. The experience as he grieved and came to terms with his loss, meant that the vistas he created on canvas were rich in metaphor. Executed in watercolour and ink, these panoramic scenes have the spatial complexity of finished paintings – the broad sweep of sky or road, the patchwork tapestry of land – yet convey the immediacy of Hockney’s impressions.

And as in the views down village streets and across kitchen tables that appear alongside them, his rooted and fond knowledge of the area around the East Yorkshire Wolds is always clear. If you know the region, the location of the sketches is unmistakable; if you don’t, its features will come to life in these pages.

About the Author
David Hockney CH RA studied at Bradford School of Art in England from 1953 to 1957 and at the Royal College of Art, London, from 1959 until 1962. He has lived in Los Angeles since 1963, but now splits his time between America and East Yorkshire, where he grew up.
