I?m a painter by nature, almost biologically, but I?m also a painter by default, culturally, because I found out that a lot of what I want to convey to the world can only be told through image and not through words."?Francesco Clemente0This richly illustrated volume documents 'Watchtowers, Keys, Threads, Gates', Francesco Clemente?s exhibition at Dallas Contemporary in 2019, curated by Peter Doroshenko. The large-scale installation presented there included a massive, site-specific fresco and two series of sculptures realized in the artist?s signature style. The overall dreamlike atmosphere was firmly in keeping with Clemente?s aesthetics and imaginary.0Through the winding waves murals??realized with the help of three Oaxacan artists??and the bodies of the sculptures??created over the past five years in collaboration with artisans in India??Clemente constructed a labyrinth of patterns and resonances made up of the elements enumerated in the title. Visitors entered his mythological universe and experienced full immersion in his ongoing research on gesture, knowledge, transition, and color.00Exhibition: Dallas Contemporary, Dallas, USA (13.04-18.08.2019).

'A superb work of narrative history' Antonia Fraser On 25 September 1513, a force of weary Spanish explorers cut through the forests of Panama and were confronted with an ocean: the Mar del Sur, or the Pacific Ocean. Six years later the Spaniards had established the town of Panama as a base from which to explore and exploit this unknown sea. It was the threshold of a vast expansion. From the first small band of Spanish adventurers to enter the mighty Inca empire, to the execution of the last Inca forty years later, The Conquest of the Incas is a story of bloodshed, infamy, rebellion and extermination, told as convincingly as if it happened yesterday. 'It is a delight to praise a book of this quality which combines careful scholarship with sparkling narrative skill' Philip Magnus, Sunday Times 'A superbly vivid history' The Times
