Thames & Hudson Ltd 2009 2009. Hardcover, 320 pages, English, 315 x 260 mm, book is in new state, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9780500543832. The illustrated weekly magazine VU ran over 600 issues between 21 March 1928 and 29 May 1940. Conceived as a beautiful ongoing film that would bring all of life within the range of the human eye, this weekly magazine was crammed with photographs and was designed to provide its readers with the same kind of experience as the cinema newsreels watched by millions of people each week. The text explains, the photo proves was the magazines editorial motto. This book gives VU the attention it deserves by liberally reproducing a selection of front covers, pages and spreads from throughout its short but prolific history, together with the commentary and analysis they demand., Thames & Hudson Ltd 2009 2009, 0, London: Natl Portrait Gallery Pubns. Hardcover. Constable Portraits. The Painter and His Circle. Together the authors examine Constable's attitude to portraiture and the reasons why this aspect of his output has been overlooked. They suggest that these attractive and truthful paintings not only belong to an important tradition of British art but also deserves a much wider audience. Illustrated throughout. 've always thought that it was completely loopy for people to go on about portrait painters, English portrait painters, and not to have Constable among them.' Lucian Freud, 2002 Published to coincide with the first ever exhibition dedicated to Constable's portraits, this book will present new scholarship and argue that many of these unexplored paintings are worthy of close attention, both for their contribution to the history of portraiture and for the insights they bring to a painter of international acclaim. Constable's sitters make up a 'Jane Austen' world, belonging to the middle and upper ranks of early-nineteenth century provincial society: clergymen and their wives, landed gentry and families wealthy from trade. A number of previously unknown works are featured in this delightful book, including family members, close friends and children, as well as commissioned portraits. Collectively, they provide a fascinating insight into the period. This book and exhibition seek to vindicate the view of Lucian Freud that Constable belongs an important tradition of British portraiture, to bring Constable's portraits back to the fore, and give them the critical acclaim that they deserve.
