Very little is known about Bacon's early career, and the diaries of his two first patrons provide a far deeper understanding of his formative years than has been accessible hitherto. Especially revelatory are the extensive records kept over a long period by Bacon's doctor, Paul Brass: what they reveal will revolutionise thinking on Bacon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Whitfield sheds new light on both Bonnard and Bacon; she has identified concerns the two artists shared that will surprise as well as enlighten. Joyce Townsend draws on her scientific and technical investigations into Tate's most important Bacon paintings to advance significant new information about Bacon's methods. Christopher Bucklow is an expert on Japanese art, which forms an important, if unexpected, aspect of his rethinking of the metaphor system in Bacon's paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362661843180,"sku":"9780500971062","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9531483482366.jpg?v=1772898822"},{"product_id":"how-turner-painted-by-joyce-h-townsend-9780500294833","title":"How Turner Painted","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis authoritative visual guide to the artistic materials and painting techniques of J. M. W. Turner brings to life the skills of one of the world's greatest artists. Details of his watercolours and oil paintings, usually only available to small numbers of museum professionals, and an experienced artist's recreation of his core painting processes, combine with in-depth research into Turner's use of new materials to give unique insights into his creative processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow Turner Painted\u003c\/em\u003e brings new research and understanding to the subject since the publication of the author's earlier book, \u003cem\u003eTurner's Painting Techniques\u003c\/em\u003e (1993). Joyce Townsend, senior conservation scientist at Tate, which houses the majority of Turner's work and is a centre of expertise on the artist, has revisited, updated, and continued the examination of his innovative use of materials and early adoption of new colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComparisons are drawn across oil painting and watercolour to illustrate how Turner built up an image, and what his numerous unfinished works can tell us about his working methods. With a foreword by art historian Nicola Moorby and a chapter contributed by artist Tony Smibert, the book coincides with two major new exhibitions planned for 2020, at Tate Britain and at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Tasmania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596636700908,"sku":"9780500294833","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780500294833-how-turner-painted.jpg?v=1777933326"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/joyce-h-townsend.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
