Alan Davie and David Hockney

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd

nidottu
Encountering the work of Alan Davie (1920-2014) at Wakefield Art Gallery in 1958, a young David Hockney (b.1937) was struck by Davie's landmark Abstract Expressionist paintings, which mirrored and stimulated his own fledgling experimentation with colourful abstraction. Juxtaposing the remarkable early work of two greats of post-war painting, this book provides an original perspective on an important aspect of two significant artistic careers.A richly illustrated text demonstrates points of convergence — such as the painterly surface, passion and poetry, and an exploration of text within the pictorial frame — while also presenting divergence, moving the discussion beyond comparison to reveal a moment when each artist expanded the expressive potential of the painted canvas. Seeking to suggest new relationships and continuities between two generations previously segregated, this beautifully produced publication is ambitious in its intention, pushing the boundaries of traditional interpretations of British art history.

Secret wartime projects in code-breaking, radar and ballistics produced a wealth of ideas and technologies that kick-started the development of digital computers. This is the story of the people and projects that flourished in the post-war period. By 1955 computers had begun to appear in the market-place. The Information Age was dawning and Alan Turing and his contemporaries held centre stage. Their influence is still discernable deep down within today’s hardware and software.
Alan Caiger-Smith and the Legacy of the Aldermaston Pottery
Interviewing nearly 30 of the Aldermaston potters, many of whom have written some fascinating submissions about this incredible workshop. The book features a wonderful, previously unpublished, account from Geoffrey Eastop's memoirs, about how he came to Aldermaston and helped to establish the pottery with Alan Caiger-Smith in the mid 1950s. The book tells the story of the 51 years of the Aldermaston Pottery, through the words and experiences of as many of the potters as possible, whilst also chronicling Alan's own achievements over the decades. The images also play an important part in telling the story. The book also follows the subsequent careers of the potters, and tell how they went on to make a difference, and to sustain the maiolica tradition, all over the world. As there has never been a book published that has traced the career of this important figure or the life of the pottery, or the 60 people who worked and trained there, and there are very few photographic records of this lost way of working, this book will fill that gap in the history of 20th century studio pottery.
Provincial Russian Notes of the Revolution and Civil War 1917-1923 by Alan M Cole
Of his many fascinations, research collecting of obsolete foreign paper currency for 50 years has led Alan Cole to specialise in the dynamics which are the substance of this book. A reader of histories, he is aware that the fortunes of nations fluctuate and that their progress can be interpreted in a variety of ways. His method in this work is to focus on locations across the grand Russian landmass, moving slowly from west to east in three different phases: Europe to the Urals, Siberia and Central Asia, then Baikalia and the Far East. For each of the cities or towns he identifies, he relates and illustrates paper currency emitted as the Bolshevik Revolution threatened or as a direct consequence of regional civil wars which followed. Russian numismatists and cataloguers may have covered much of this ground. However, the purpose of the present work is to introduce a geographical and historical approach to the infant Soviet Union for the benefit of an English-reading public, and especially those of a note-collecting mind. The five hundred colour images, most not hitherto seen or imagined in Britain, are from the author’s own collection. Their introduction and explanations (some challengeable perhaps) all arise from his own reading and enquiry. The author hopes this book will encourage collecting interests as well as a greater enthusiasm to discover Russia’s history and culture.

This ground-breaking publication provides a new view of the great Scottish artist Alan Davie (1920-2014), whose intensely physical gestural painting stood the staid post-war British art world on its head. In advance of a new Davie gallery in Hertford, the visually spectacular book argues that far from being an essentially historical figure, defined by the abstract expressionist era of the Fifties and early Sixties when he enjoyed his greatest fame, Davie was a prophetic artist whose preoccupations with universal creativity and self-realisation are more relevant today than they’ve ever been. Lavishly illustrated with rare archive photographs and little-seen paintings, Alan Davie in Hertford demonstrates that Davie’s visionary art was far more closely bound up with physical places than is generally supposed, not least the quiet market town of Hertford, where he lived for 60 years. A catalogue of 40 works intended as the new gallery’s core collection, provides a “rich and fabulous” survey of Davie’s work, from student works of the Thirties to some of his very last paintings.
