Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), as an artist and a woman, has a unique international appeal. On Kahlo’s death, her husband, Diego Rivera (1886–1957), ordered that her most private possessions be locked away. The bathroom in which her belongings were stored remained unopened until 2004. This incredible book looks at her prosthetics, jewelry, clothes, self-portraits, diary entries, and letters amd builds an intimate portrait of the artist, within the context of her political and social beliefs.

“I like to photograph naked women. The infinite variety of the human body is fascinating: it is amazing and magic to see how different women are.”
― David Lynch
This new photographic volume
features more than 100 black-and-white and color images of feminine nudes. These erotically charged photographs come close to abstraction. They offer kaleidoscopic visions of his subjects and are also reminiscent of his cinematographic work.

The development of painting in London from the Second World War to the 1970s has never before been told before as a single narrative. Modernists and Mavericks explores this period based on an exceptionally deep well of firsthand interviews, often unpublished, with such artists as Victor Pasmore, Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, R. B. Kitaj, Euan Uglow, Howard Hodgkin, Gillian Ayres, Bridget Riley, David Hockney, Leon Kossoff, and Patrick Caulfield. Gayford weaves these individual lives together and demonstrates how and why, long after it was officially declared dead, painting lived and thrived in London.

Iconoclastic, generous, inventive,
i
mpulsive, sensitive, gregarious, prodigious: these are just some of the words to describe Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) and the art he made over his career. From the age of 38, when he received the grand prize at the Venice Biennale in 1964, Rauschenberg was a pivotal figure in the creative explosion of art following WWII. This revised edition of the classic biography of the artist adds a new chapter covering the significant moments in the final years of his life, and offers an in-depth look at his legacy and continued influence on the postmodern art world. It includes new photography and interviews with friends, colleagues, critics, and art historians.
