DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of oil paintings is less well known than its encyclopaedic holdings of sculpture and applied arts, watercolours, miniatures and other works on paper. However, the museum has also acquired oil paintings since its foundation, and currently has over 2,500 works in this medium. The Victoria and Albert Museum initially collected and displayed oil paintings to tell the story of British art and provide exemplary material for designers: it continues to do so to elucidate the history of art and design from the Middle Ages to the present. Since the nineteenth century the V & A set high standards in its published catalogues. Its combined holdings of paintings, miniatures, watercolours and drawings now run to tens of thousands of items. This is the museum's first illustrated summary catalogue of oil paintings which are shown through thousands of photographs. Trade Orders: Professional Discount Only

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring World War II, London was at its most perilous moment since the Great Fire of 1666. Districts were transformed at night by falling bombs, fires, and searchlights. During the day, when the results of the previous night's bombing were laid bare, ordinary people dealt with the aftermath as best they could. In 1939, the Ministry of Information set up the War Artists Advisory Committee (WAAC) to compile an artistic record of Britain during the war. After the war had ended, more than half of the paintings commissioned--some three thousand works--ended up in the Imperial War Museums collection. Wartime London in Paintings showcases seventy oil paintings from the IWM's unmatched collection in one stunning illustrated volume, portraying the ordinary and the extraordinary of London at the time. Featuring works by some of the most famous war artists of the conflict--including Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore, Edward Ardizzone, and more--this incredible visual exploration of a wartime city gives readers a firsthand look at how London coped during one of the most significant periods of its history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
