Description
This beautiful book invites readers to join the Artful Sketcher on an exclusive tour of one of the most creative factories they'll ever know: the Little Factory of Potential Illustration. The factory is full of eccentric artists who just love making pictures, not to mention some oddball animals and astonishing machines. From the get-go readers can doodle, experiment with different techniques or simply draw alongside LIFIPO's resident team of artists. There's a games pocket at the back with some weird and wonderful dominos, and heaps of activities throughout exploring among other things collage, patternmaking, sculpture and composition. Children will be delighted to find that at the end of their tour they are given their very own office and their first solo exhibition! Exploring art techniques, geometry and game-playing simultaneously, this beautiful and humorous book is perfect for budding artists.

Another London
In the years between 1930 and 1980, some of the best-known photographers from around the world came to London and made its streets, buildings, and communities their subject. For some, the British capital was to become home; for others, it remained a foreign city, as enigmatic perhaps as any they had visited. Each photographer brought their own distinctive perspective, subverting...Hardback$4395Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
The London Art Schools
Since 1960, progressive forces within art education have stoked, and continued to fire, new impulses in the field of artistic production. As society at large embraced youth and popular culture, art school students with international aspirations exploded class barriers, fused fashion with Pop and insisted that art was integral to social change. These possibilities were unthinkable without shifts in priorities....Paperback$6000Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Glenn Ligon

Mondrian and His Studios: Colour in Space
The enduring relevance of Dutch-born artist Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) speaks to his pioneering role in abstract art, but also to the complex relationship between his artworks, the space around them, and the belief that they were conceived to inspire.
