We Are Artists celebrates the life and work of 15 female artists from around the globe and the distinctive mark they made on the art world and beyond. Presented as a collection of engaging biographical narratives, We Are Artists reveals how each artist’s unique approach and perspective provided the art world and society at large with a new way of seeing things. It places the spotlight on women painters, sculptors, printmakers, illustrators, designers and craftswomen, who all too often are left out of history and art history books for children. Through their personal stories, readers will come to know the circles and art movements each artist worked in, and the influence they exerted on both the art world and society as a whole. Following in the wake of the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls phenomenon, We Are Artists is aimed at inspiring young readers and aspiring artists, no matter what their gender, to find their own unique way of making a contribution to the world.
'Show Me' is inspired by the view of the London Eye when walking over Hungerford Bridge at dusk from Southbank, with the lights and reflections on the Thames. This lithograph is a variable edition of 12. It has been hand printed with Bronze Dark Blue and Black Intaglio relief ink, and then painted and inked with Winsor & Newton inks. This print is No. 10 out of the edition of 12. All my prints are variable editions so I can play with colour & markmaking which also means each print is distinctive and original. There may be printmaking marks or creases on the paper outside the image, which is due to the handmade nature of the printmaking. These can be hidden by use of a smaller window mount if so desired. The prints are all listed separately as they are each slightly different.

Ford Transit Mk.1 Van (1965-78) Engine 2500cc S4 York Diesel Registration Number SOG 489 H (Birmingham) (Wolverhampton) FORD (UK) SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623665118181... Although officially the Mk.1 Transit the first Ford Transit were was in fact a Cologne built van of 1961-65 though not widely exported. The Mark 1 was introduced ito the UK market in October 1965 taking over directly from the Thames 400E. The van was produced initially at Ford's Langley facility in Berkshire, The van was produced initially at Ford's Langley facility in Berkshire, but as demand outstripped supply production was moved to Southampton until closure in 2013 in favour of the Turkish factory. Transits were also produced at Ford plants in Genk, Belgium and in Amsterdam, Holland. The Transit was a departure from the European commercial vehicles of the day with its American-inspired styling—its broad track gave it a huge advantage in carrying capacity which was highlighted in early advertising campaigns showing a Transit van delivering an Elephant. The engines used in the UK were the Essex V4 for the petrol-engined version in 1.7 L and 2.0 L capacities. By using relatively short V-4 engines Ford were able to minimise the additional length necessitated to place the engine ahead of the driver Diesel engine sourced from Perkins was also offered. As this engine was too long to fit under the Transit's stubby nose, the diesel version featured a longer bonnet, The diesel version's long nose front was also used to accommodate the Ford 3.0 L Ford Essex V6 engine (UK) for high performance applications such as vans supplied to police and ambulance services. The underpowered Perkins proved unpopular, and was replaced by Ford's own "York" unit in 1974.

Cubisme et culture - Mark Antliff - Patricia Leighten - Thames & Hudson - 9782878112078 - Livre d'occasion Incarné notamment par Picasso et Braque, le cubisme qui s'épanouit en France entre 1907 et 1914 est l'un des mouvements artistiques déterminants du XXe siècle. Il a non seulement bouleversé la peinture, la sculpture et la photographie, mais aussi marqué de son empreinte l'architecture et tous les autres champs de création, du mobilier à la mode en passant par les objets du quotidien. Le présent ouvrage retrace l'influence du cubisme sur la culture de son époque et sur celle qui suivra, mais démontre également à quel point il fut lui-même conditionné par les profonds changements esthétiques, philosophiques, politiques et sociétaux que connaissait la France au début du XXe siècle : le bergsonisme, les nouvelles avancées scientifiques ou encore la montée du nationalisme et du féminisme... Abondamment documenté et s'appuyant sur les toutes dernières connaissances et analyses sur le sujet, cet ouvrage resitue le cubisme dans une perspective plus large que celle de la seule sphère esthétique, révélant ainsi son importance majeure dans l'histoire. Livre Comme neuf, de démonstration, la couverture est défraichie (petites marques, traces) Auteur : Mark Antliff - Patricia Leighten Editeur : Thames & Hudson Année d'édition : 2002 Format : Broché 15 x 21 cm Pagination : 224 pages ISBN/EAN : 9782878112078 Collection: L'univers de l'art
An enchanting Signed Limited Edition Print by Mark Duffin.The mounted size is 42cm x 42cm, and the image size is 28cm x 28cm. See more work by Mark Duffin About Mark DuffinMark was born in 1960 and grew up in Tilehurst near Reading in Berkshire. At that time all around was countryside and it was a quick walk to the River Thames where he spent most of his time as a child with his two brothers in this most English of landscapes.He always loved to draw as a child, even going so far to draw on the households walls and after leaving school was accepted into Berkshire college of Art & Design where he spent four years studying graphic design and illustration.Upon graduating he then embarked on a career as a freelance illustrator working for design consultancies, advertising agencies and publishing companies in the UK and overseas. At that early period he worked with traditional media, mainly airbrush & acrylic due to the tight deadlines but in 1996, with the onset of computers he changed to the digital media for his commercial work while still painting for private work in oils.These are the works that he produces today, trying to convey a sense of calmness and quiet with his subtle use of colour and keen eye for detail, aiming to create the feeling of an old photo that vaguely recalls memories of a distant time and place all inspired by the English landscape.

In the recent past, a working knowledge of the Maya script has been confined to epigraphers, art historians and other specialists. Its very unfamiliarity to the general public, and the daunting aspect of its approximately 800 signs, have made the system appear more complex and arcane than it really is. Reading the Maya Glyphs is a compact, portable guide to enable students, tourists and armchair travellers to read and understand commonly encountered Classic Maya texts. Topics covered include the nature of the script, the intricate Maya calendar, dynastic and political texts, and every aspect of the natural and supernatural world in which they lived. Written by the world's leading authority in Maya studies, Michael D. Coe, and illustrated by the drawings of Mark Van Stone, one of America's outstanding calligraphers, the book presupposes no previous training in Maya epigraphy or archaeology. Whether in the hands of visitors to the great Maya sites of Mexico and Central America or consulted by museum-goers, this guide should enhance their appreciation some of the world's greatest art and architecture.
This is a limited variable edition lithograph . It is low tide by Barnes Bridge on the Thames. This print has been hand inked differently each time, and finished with Winsor & Newton inks, resulting in a painterly effect. As a variable edition each print is individual and very slightly different. All my prints are Variable Editions so I can play with colour & markmaking which also means each print is distinctive and original. There may be printmaking marks or creases on the paper outside the image, which is due to the handmade nature of the printmaking. These can be hidden by use of a smaller window mount if so desired. Please note that the image itself is 29 x 21 cm. All artworks posted within the UK are sent by Royal Mail Tracked and Signed which (usually!) arrives the next day after dispatch before 1pm.

Within the pages of Eric McKee’s Working Boats of Great Britain there are drawings of a 24′ Thames skiff attributed to W.A.B. Hobbs* at Henley-on-Thames in the very early part of the 20th century. Thames skiffs were an evolution of the wherries used to transport cargoes and passengers up, down and across the Thames for . . .
