Vogue 100A Century of StyleRobin Muir
While principally a fashion magazine, Vogue has never been just that. It has assumed a central and vital role on the cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. Published to mark the magazine’s centenary, and accompanying a major exhibition, this book celebrates the twentieth century and beyond with an authoritative and discriminating eye.
In more than 2,000 issues, British Vogue has acted as a cultural barometer, putting fashion in the context of the wider world – how we dress, how we entertain, what we eat, listen to, watch, who leads us, excites us and inspires us. The century’s most talented photographers, Lee Miller, Norman Parkinson, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Snowdon and Mario Testino among them, have contributed to it.
In 1916, when the First World War made transatlantic shipments of American Vogue impossible, its proprietor, Condé Nast, authorised a British edition. It was an immediate success, and over the following ten decades of uninterrupted publication continued to mirror its times – the austerity and optimism that followed two world wars, the ‘Swinging London’ scene of the sixties, the radical seventies, the image-conscious eighties – and in its second century remains at the cutting edge of photography and design.
Decade by decade, Vogue 100 celebrates the greatest moments in fashion, beauty and portrait photography. Illustrated throughout with well-known images, as well as the less familiar, the book focuses on the faces that shaped the cultural landscape: from Matisse to Bacon, Freud and Hirst, from Dietrich to Paltrow, from Rudolph Valentino to David Beckham, from Lady Diana Cooper to Lady Diana Spencer. It features the fashion designers who defined the century – Chanel, Saint Laurent, McQueen – and explores more broadly the changing form of the twentieth-century woman.
Robin Muir is a Contributing Editor to British and Russian Vogues. His other books include Under the Influence: John Deakin, Photography and the Lure of Soho (2014), Vogue Model (2013), Vogue Covers (2009), In Camera: Snowdon and the World of British Art (2007), The World’s Most Photographed (2005), People in Vogue (2005), Norman Parkinson: Portraits in Fashion (2004) and David Bailey: Chasing Rainbows (2001).

New titles Audrey HepburnPortraits of an IconTerence Pepper and Helen Trompeteler
During her lifetime, the Belgian-born British actress Audrey Hepburn (1929–93), star of such films as Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, My Fair Lady, Charade and Two for the Road, was recognised around the world. Posthumously, her popularity has endured and her image continues to be reproduced in a variety of international cultural contexts.
Unlike other collections, in this new book the authors call attention to the circumstances in which pictures of Hepburn were published and consumed, thereby illuminating more generally our changing relationship with such images over the course of the twentieth century.
Hepburn’s career is charted through more than eighty portraits – from her early years in London as a student of ballet and a performer on the West End stage, to her Hollywood heyday, to her final years as a special ambassador for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Alongside work by the photographers whose portraits defined Hepburn’s image and shaped her career are publicity photographs and images made on- and off-set during the production of her films, as well as family photographs and informal archive news pictures.
Possessing the features, height and poise of a model, Hepburn collaborated with a number of couturiers, notably Hubert de Givenchy. Her image often graced the pages and covers of fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, for which she was photographed by Richard Avedon, whose work is represented here together with portraits by Cecil Beaton, Antony Beauchamp, Philippe Halsman, Angus McBean, Norman Parkinson and Irving Penn.
Terence Pepper is Senior Special Advisor on Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London, and co-curator of the exhibition Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon. From 1978 to 2014 he was the Gallery’s Curator of Photographs. His past exhibitions include retrospectives on Norman Parkinson (1981), Lewis Morley (1989), Dorothy Wilding (1991), James Abbe (1995), Horst P. Horst (2001), Cecil Beaton (2004) and Man Ray (2013). His publications include the award-winning Vanity Fair Portraits (2008), Beatles to Bowie (2009) and Hoppé Portraits (co-author, 2011).
Helen Trompeteler is Associate Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London, and co-curator of Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon. Previously Assistant Curator of the Man Ray Portraits exhibition (2013), her past displays include Snowdon: A Life in View (2014), Fred Daniels: Cinema Portraits (2012) and Format Photography Agency (2010).

GiacomettiPure PresencePaul Moorhouse
Since his death at the age of sixty-four in 1966, Alberto Giacometti has become recognised internationally as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century and sales of his sculptures now achieve record-breaking prices. Belonging to no particular artistic movement, he developed through cubist and surrealist phases and later attained a mature, individual idiom whose preoccupation with the depiction of a human presence in an enveloping space may be seen in relation to contemporary existentialist concerns with defining the place and purpose of man in a godless universe. Taking its title from Jean-Paul Sartre, who described Giacometti’s endeavour to give ‘sensible expression’ to ‘pure presence’, the book explores the artist’s work in relation to existentialist ideas.
Spanning painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking, Giacometti’s oeuvre ranges from idiosyncratic surrealist objects to intensely observed images of the human figure, with images of particular individuals at the centre. This book, like the exhibition it accompanies, looks at the various phases of the artist’s career and explores in detail his depiction of his main sitters, including his mother; Diego his brother; his wife Annette; Jean Genet the playwright; Caroline, a prostitute; and his friends Yanaihara and Lotar. Early drawings, paintings and sculptures of members of his family and his own image demonstrate Giacometti’s awareness of post-impressionist and divisionist styles. After moving to Paris in 1922, until the late 1930s he made progressively abstracted images of a range of sitters. From 1946, Giacometti resumed painting and depicting an individual human presence became central to his work. After 1954, when he began making sculpture from life, increasingly his portraits evolved as the outcome of an ongoing dialogue between painting and sculpture.
Giacometti subjected the human image to a radical process of interrogation and transformation in which the exploration and representation of flesh, presence, distance and space are vital, interacting elements. As a result, a human presence seems poised between being and non-being, providing the basis for Giacometti’s reputation as one of the most innovative artists of the last century.
Paul Moorhouse is Curator of Twentieth-Century Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the curator of Giacometti: Pure Presence. His publications include The Great War in Portraits (2014), Cindy Sherman (2014), A Guide to Twentieth Century Portraits (2013), The Queen Art & Image (2011), Bridget Riley: From Life (2010), Gerhard Richter Portraits: Painting Appearances (2009) and Pop Art Portraits (2007).

New titles Russia and the ArtsRosalind P. Blakesley with an essay by Tatiana L. Karpova
Russian portraiture enjoyed a golden age between the late 1860s and the First World War. While Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were publishing masterpieces such as Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov and Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov were taking Russian music to new heights, Russian art was developing a new self-confidence. The penetrating Realism of the 1870s and 1880s was later complemented by the brighter hues of Russian Impressionism and the bold, faceted forms of Symbolist painting.
This book explores the history of Russian portraiture between 1872 and 1914 with reference to a variety of important works held by Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery. This national collection was founded in 1856 by Pavel Tretyakov, who took a keen interest in portraiture and set out to create a pantheon of famous Russians by commissioning portraits of prominent thinkers, writers, scientists, artists, actors, composers and musicians by the most outstanding painters of the day.
In providing a context, author Rosalind P. Blakesley looks in the first and second chapters at the portrait tradition in Russia: the rise of secular portrait painting following the founding of the Academy of Arts in St Petersburg in 1757; the shifting tastes of patrons and publics; the reception of portraits in exhibitions and collections (including those of the tsars); and the role of portraiture in the cultural politics of imperial Russia. Starting with the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867, at which a distinct Russian school of painting was recognised for the first time, the third chapter examines developments in theatre and music, the rising Realist aesthetic and the powerful voices of wealthy patrons from the worlds of industry and commerce, such as Pavel Tretyakov. Chapter Four looks at the rise of novel forms of visual expression through experimentation, from Impressionism to Symbolism, and the World of Art Movement, with its conscious reconnection with artistic developments in the West. The last chapter charts creative responses to political turmoil and social unrest in the early twentieth century, the new artistic societies and manifestos of the avant-garde and the dialogue between figurative painting and abstraction in the twilight of imperial rule.
The book features beautifully reproduced portraits of Fedor Chaliapin, Anton Chekhov, Fedor Dostoevsky, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Anton Rubinstein, Petr Tchaikovsky, Leo Tolstoy, Pavel Tretyakov, Ivan Turgenev, among many others.
Rosalind P. Blakesley is Reader in Russian and European Art, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. She has written widely on Russian art and on the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Tatiana L. Karpova is Deputy Director General of Scientific Affairs at the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

Costume, portraiture and the presentation of the individual have been intimately linked throughout the history of art. While the face of the person portrayed is often still directly accessible to us, the details and significance of their dress can be less easy to comprehend.
Richly illustrated throughout with paintings, drawings, photographs and other works of art, this beautiful publication is centred around 190 examples from the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection. Through these, the authors explore the purpose and original context of the dress in which the sitter was recorded – the damasks, satins, velvets and furs of Tudor and Stuart magnificence worn by Queen Elizabeth I and Charles I, but also the revolutionary simplicity of the cottons, linens and woollen cloth adopted by Mary Wollstonecraft, John Constable and John Clare.
Filled with photographs that provide additional insights into the clothes worn by sitters in their portraits, and complemented by related material including fabric designs and jewellery, this authoritative guide looks in detail at one of the most fascinating aspects of many well-known images of the last 500 years.
Among the examples featured are portraits of Ozwald Boateng, Naomi Campbell, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Catherine of Aragon, Sir Francis Drake, Germaine Greer, Nell Gwyn, Dame Laura Knight, Kate Moss, Harold Pinter, Sir Walter Ralegh, Sir Roy Strong and Dame Vivienne Westwood.
Aileen Ribeiro is Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London. She is internationally renowned as an authority on the history of dress, and has written many books and articles on the subject, most recently Facing Beauty: Painted Women and Cosmetic Art (2011). In addition, she has been a costume consultant to major portrait exhibitions in the UK and US, including Whistler, Women and Fashion at the Frick Collection, New York (2003).
Cally Blackman is Lecturer at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts, London), and holds degrees in Fashion Design and History of Art, as well as an MA in History of Dress from The Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Amongst many other publications, she is the author of 100 Years of Fashion (2012).

New titles500 Portraits25 Years of the BP Portrait AwardThe National Portrait Gallery’s award for painted portraiture, one of Britain’s most prestigious art prizes, is the leading showcase for artists throughout the world specialising in portraiture. Over the past twenty- five years, portraits by more than 15,000 artists have been selected for the accompanying exhibition, which has attracted more than 4 million visitors. To celebrate this milestone, the National Portrait Gallery is publishing this new, updated edition of 500 Portraits, which features works from each of the twenty-five years since BP’s sponsorship of the exhibition began in 1990.
This highly illustrated compendium features more than 500 paintings from many of the best figurative artists active over the past quarter century, including Jonathan Yeo, Stuart Pearson Wright, Paul Emsley, Annabel Cullen and Ishbel Myerscough. Reflecting the diverse methods of contemporary portrait practice, the works, rendered in an array of styles from photorealism to expressionism, capture an exceptional wealth of subjects. From honest self-portraits and warm portrayals of families and children to fan portraits of celebrities and professionals in the workplace, the diverse selection demonstrates what inspires portrait painters. As well as the works that appeared in the exhibitions, the book includes reproductions of portraits commissioned by the Gallery from competition finalists. These include portraits of Dame Kelly Holmes, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Willard White and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Each year, one artist receives the Travel Award, which provides them with the opportunity to make paintings further afield; the best of these are featured in this new edition.
This book is a key reference not only for anyone interested in the history of the Award and its impact on the status of portraiture in the UK, but also for students and professional artists alike.

John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) was the leading American portrait painter of his generation. This book showcases his portraits of artists, writers, actors and musicians, many of whom he knew well. These pictures were rarely the result of commissions, and Sargent was free to take a more radical approach to depicting the people he liked and admired than was possible in his formal portraiture.
Many of the sitters in this collection were John Singer Sargent’s close friends. This volume explores these friendships in depth and draws out their significance in the story of Sargent’s life and the development of his art.
The book is structured chronologically, with sections arranged according to the places in which Sargent worked and formed relationships during his cosmopolitan career: Paris, London, New York, Italy and the Alps. The cast of characters includes famous names, among them Gabriel Fauré and Auguste Rodin, Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James, as well as Sargent’s intimate friends, such as the artists Jane and Wilfrid de Glehn and the Italian painter Ambrogio Raffele, a recurrent model in his Alpine studies.

John Singer Sargent: Painting Friends features a fascinating selection of forty of the artist’s portraits of his circle of associates from the worlds of literature, the theatre, music and the arts. In contrast to his well-known society portraits, these works were rarely the result of commissions, and so are often more relaxed and radical in style. Featuring an introductory essay and an illustrated chronology that places Sargent’s work in the context of his life, this book is the perfect introduction to Sargent’s portraiture.

This book is about a man and the growth of an idea. The man is William Morris (1834–96), great Victorian artist-craftsman, designer, poet, polymath and visionary thinker. The idea is his concept of art for the people, which inspired the nascent British socialist movement, influenced successive generations and affects us still today.
William Morris regarded beauty as a basic human birthright. In this fascinating book, Morris’s biographer Fiona MacCarthy looks at how his highly original and generous vision of a new form of society in which art could flourish has reverberated through the decades, from 1860 to 1960, and explores the continuing relevance of Morris’s ideals.
Fiona MacCarthy is a cultural historian, broadcaster and critic whose widely acclaimed biographies include studies of Eric Gill, William Morris (which won the Wolfson History Prize and the Writers’ Guild Non-Fiction Award), Stanley Spencer, Lord Byron and, most recently, Edward Burne-Jones. She is a Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Art and was awarded the OBE for services to literature in 2009.

Anarchy & BeautyWilliam Morris and His LegacyFiona MacCarthy
Born in London in 1834, William Morris was a radical thinker whose democratic vision for society and art has continued to influence designers, artists and writers to this day, long after his death in 1896. He was a gifted poet, architect, painter, writer and textile designer, who also founded the Kelmscott Press, the most famous of the Arts and Crafts private presses.
Morris’s ideas later came to influence the Garden City movement, as well as numerous artists and craftspeople, who sought to negotiate a viable place within the modern world in the troubled years that followed the First World War. His ideals inspired designers, including those who contributed to the 1951 Festival of Britain, with a direct sense of mission to bring the highest design standards within the reach of everyone.
During Morris’s lifetime, Oscar Wilde thought him ‘a master of all exquisite design and of all spiritual vision’, while forty years after Morris’s death George Bernard Shaw observed: ‘He towers greater and greater above the horizon beneath which his best advertised contemporaries have disappeared.’ This collection of quotations by Morris, his friends, associates and those who came after, reveals and explores his passionately held view that beautiful, functional design should be accessible to all.

Portraiture figured greatly in the life of Virginia Woolf, the most famous and influential modernist prose writer of the twentieth century. Portraits by G.F. Watts and photographs made by her aunt, Julia Margaret Cameron, furnished rooms in which she lived. Written portraits were produced in the family home; her father, Leslie Stephen, published short biographies of Samuel Johnson, Pope, Swift, George Eliot and Thomas Hobbes, while editing the Dictionary of National Biography. Throughout her life, Woolf composed memorable vignettes-in-words of people she knew or encountered, and was herself portrayed by artists and photographers on many occasions.
This beautifully illustrated book catches Woolf’s appearance and that of the world around her, but it also charts the emotional milestones in Woolf’s life – her love affairs, wartime experiences and the depression that resulted in her suicide in 1941.
Frances Spalding is an art historian, critic and biographer, and a leading authority on Bloomsbury. She has written biographies of Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. For ten years she edited the Charleston Magazine. She is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Professor of Art History at Newcastle University, and was awarded the CBE in 2005.
This new book about the 1st Duke of Wellington (1769–1852) provides a novel take on the traditional biography in that it explores the life of this complex man through portraits – of Wellington himself, his friends, family and associates, as well as his political and military allies and opponents.
William Hague contributes a lively foreword about Wellington’s political achievements and his role as prime minister at a time of great social and political change, assessing his contemporary reception and contribution to the development of modern Britain. Paul Cox explores Wellington’s military career and the battle of Waterloo, which remain central to his story, but also examines his personal relationships, his legacy and his enduring place in the popular imagination.
Paul Cox is Associate Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, London. He curated the exhibition Wellington: Triumphs, Politics and Passions • William Hague is a politician and writer.

Why did Alexander the Great’s soldiers shave before battle? What are pig scrapers, dundrearies and Piccadilly weepers? What do pogonophobes fear? And why was Virginia Woolf photographed wearing a false beard? Writer and art historian Lucinda Hawksley answers all these questions in this fascinating book: a history of facial hair, from prehistoric times to the present day.
Along the way, she explores the proliferation of whiskers among Regency beaus, the rise of the beard at the time of the Crimean War, its decline during the First World War and the most recent fashion for facial hair in the twenty-first century. Special features take a sideways glance at, among other things, bearded women, a record-breaking moustache, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair’s shared aversion to facial hair and a sixteenth-century recipe ‘to make the haire of the bearde grow’.
This entertaining comb through the long and curly history of moustaches, whiskers and beards bristles with beautiful images, many of them from the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Lucinda Hawksley is an award-winning author, art historian and travel writer, with a special interest in literature and art from the nineteenth century.

‘This book is about the various animals that appear in portraits in the National Portrait Gallery, but it is also about the owners of the animals who commissioned the portraits,’ wrote Robin Gibson, the author of this book, on its first publication in 1998. ‘The association … immediately adds a further dimension to our understanding of the characterisation.’
From the Elizabethan soldier and diplomat Sir Henry Unton to the children of King Charles I; from the little terrier that records Lady Caroline Lamb’s first extra-marital affair to Queen Victoria’s dogs, photographed with her gillie John Brown; from the extraordinary images of ballet dancer Anna Pavlova and her pet swan to the poet and critic Edith Sitwell and her favourite cat, this book charts the British love-affair with the domestic pet.
For this new edition, Chris Packham has contributed a text that features additional portraits from the Gallery’s collections. Amusing and often surprising, this delightful book provides some unusual insights into the special bond between sitters and their faithful companions.

Bailey Exposed
As one of the world’s most distinguished and distinctive photographers, David Bailey has made an outstanding contribution to the medium, and creating imaginative and thought-provoking portraits has always been central to his work. For this remarkable book Bailey has selected from his archive many previously unseen portraits from across a career that has spanned more than half a century.
Initially engaged as an assistant to John French in 1959, Bailey was contracted by British Vogue the following year. He has since worked for the French, Italian and American editions of the magazine, created album sleeves for major recording artists such as the Rolling Stones, directed television commercials and made documentary films, including in-depth studies of Cecil Beaton, Luchino Visconti and Andy Warhol. Bailey’s photographs helped to define the cultural and social scene of the 1960s, immortalising figures from the worlds of fashion, music, film and art.
The portraits Bailey has chosen for this book include actors, writers, musicians, politicians, film-makers, models, artists and people Bailey encountered on his travels; many of them famous, some unknown, all of them engaging and memorable. Iconic images are presented alongside many lesser-known and previously unseen portraits, and the book includes an illuminating introduction by the art historian Tim Marlow.

Laura Knight PortraitsRosie Broadley

Dame Laura Knight (1877–1970) was one of the leading British painters of the twentieth century. During the course of an extraordinarily productive career that spanned over seventy years, Knight’s work reflected her commit- ment to depicting modern life and her fascination with the human figure. She successfully negotiated the professional art world at a time when other women artists struggled for recognition, and sought to control her public image via two volumes of autobiography.
This book features more than thirty-five of Knight’s portraits, which demonstrate her skill as a painter and draughtsman, her courage in tackling complex compositions and challenging subjects, and her compassionate approach to the sitters with whom she worked.
This selection includes a diverse range of sitters: friends she made as part of an artists’ community in Cornwall; ballet, circus and theatre performers; patients at a racially segregated hospital in Baltimore; female members of the Auxiliary Air Force and munitions workers; participants in the Nuremberg war trials; and royalty and society men and women she painted mostly as commissions. Through her portraits, Knight provides a personal insight into distinctive aspects of twentieth-century life.

In viewing the Great War through the portraits of those involved, Paul Moorhouse looks at the bitter-sweet nature of a conflict in which valour and selfless endeavour were qualified by disaster and suffering, and examines the notion of identity – how various individuals associated with the war were represented and perceived. The narrative is structured chronologically, with thematic sections devoted to conflicting pairs – ‘Royalty and the Assassin’, ‘Leaders and Followers’, ‘The Valiant and the Damned’ – which reveal the radical differences between those caught up in the conflict in terms of their respective roles, aspirations, experiences, and, ultimately, their destinies.
Illustrated throughout with images both well known and less familiar, the book concludes with a section entitled ‘Tradition and the Avant-Garde’, which focuses on the struggle artists faced in finding an appropriate language in which to depict those who had experienced the unimaginable horror at the front: either by resorting to the steadying hand of tradition or a radical visual language of expressive distortion.
Sebastian Faulks contributes a thought-provoking essay on the memory of the Great War.

In November 1612, shortly before his nineteenth birthday, Henry Stuart, the eldest son of James I, died of typhoid fever. The nation was struck by grief at the loss of this most promising prince who, it was believed, would become a king to transform Britain. Unlike his father, Henry was seen as militaristic, ardently Protestant and fiercely moral; he was also a precocious patron of the arts, collecting paintings, sculpture and books, commissioning ambitious garden designs and architecture, and performing in elaborate court festivities. This beautifully illustrated book examines Henry’s upbringing and education, his court and patronage, his collecting, and finally his illness, death and legacy, and questions traditional assumptions about the Prince.

The reign of Queen Elizabeth I was a time of economic stability, with outstanding successes in the fields of maritime exploration and defence. The period saw a huge expansion in trade, the creation of new industries, a rise in social mobility, urbanisation and the development of an extraordinary literary culture. This book explores the stories of those individuals whose achievements brought about these changes in the context of an emerging national identity.
The book features portraits of the Queen and her courtiers, including explorers and sea captains such as Francis Drake and Martin Frobisher, statesmen and soldiers such as William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and Christopher Hatton, and enchanting portraits of the Queen’s female courtiers such as Bess of Hardwick, Countess of Shrewsbury, and Elizabeth Vernon, Countess of Southampton. However, as interest in portraiture broadened, members of a growing wealthy middle class sought to have their likenesses captured for posterity. The book includes intriguing, lesser-known images of Elizabethan merchants, lawyers, goldsmiths, butchers, calligraphers, playwrights and artists – all of whom contributed to the making of a nation and a new world power.

Man Ray (1890–1976) was one of the most inventive photographic artists of the twentieth century. His appetite for innovation and experimentation are showcased in this beautifully illustrated book, which brings together more than 150 of his best portraits from his long and varied international career.
Born Michael Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, Man Ray initially taught himself photography in order to reproduce his own works of art. From 1913 to 1916 he lived and worked at the artists’ colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey, where he met the French artist Marcel Duchamp. His friendship with Duchamp led to his moving to Paris in 1921 where, as a contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, he was perfectly placed to make defining images of his avant-garde contemporaries, including Jean Cocteau, Peggy Guggenheim and Gertrude Stein. The book also includes some of the artist’s less-well-known later images, taken in 1940s Hollywood, and his photographs of such 1950s and 1960s stars as Ava Gardner and Catherine Deneuve.
With an introductory essay by Marina Warner, a comprehensive survey of Man Ray’s magazine commissions by Terence Pepper and an illustrated chronology, this book is an essential reference guide to Man Ray’s portraiture.

This accessible, introductory guide brings together more than fifty of Lucian Freud’s works from public and private collections around the world. In his introduction, the art critic and writer Martin Gayford looks at Freud’s standing as an artist and his place in art history, and offers personal insights into the artist’s life and approach to portraiture. In an appreciation written shortly after Freud’s death in July 2011, world-renowned artist David Hockney gives a revealing account of his own experience of sitting for a portrait by his friend and fellow artist. The portraits and texts are complemented by a chronology illustrated with documentary images and some previously unpublished informal photographs, which set Freud’s work in the context of his life.
David Hockney is a British painter, printmaker and photographer, considered to be one of the most influential and significant artists of his generation • Martin Gayford is an art critic and writer. In his book Man with a Blue Scarf (2010) he related his experience of sitting for Lucian Freud.
Lucian Freud was one of the world’s greatest realist painters. This authoritative survey of the artist’s portraits and figure paintings explores his work across seven decades, from the early 1940s to his death in 2011, and demonstrates his remarkable stylistic development and technical virtuosity. The book presents over 130 paintings, drawings and etchings selected in close collaboration with the artist and drawn from public and private collections worldwide.
Among the sitters represented in this book are friends, family members (particularly his mother, Lucie) and artists such as Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon and David Hockney, as well as the performance artist Leigh Bowery and Bowery’s friend Sue Tilley, the ‘benefits supervisor’, whom Freud immortalised in a series of monumental paintings in the early 1990s.
Lucian Freud Portraits includes illuminating essays by curators Sarah Howgate and Michael Auping, an illustrated chronology of Freud’s life and career, a revealing piece by Freud’s life-long friend, the art historian and biographer of Picasso, John Richardson, and a series of previously unpublished interviews with the artist conducted by Auping between May 2009 and January 2011.

Who were the Tudor kings and queens and what did they really look like? The Tudor period is one of the most widely studied in British history, and the intriguing personal stories of the individual monarchs and their courts have fascinated us for centuries. But the familiarity of the best-known Tudor portraits has overshadowed the other images of the monarchs that were produced throughout their reigns. During the sixteenth century, the market for portraits grew and so the monarchs’ images multiplied as countless versions and copies of their likeness were produced to satisfy demand. Taken together, these images chart both the changing iconography of the ruler, and the development of portrait painting in England.
Drawing on recent research and technical analysis that has advanced our knowledge of how and when these portraits were created, this fascinating book presents groundbreaking new information about the Tudor monarchs as they were seen in their own time, making it possible for us to encounter the ‘real’ Tudors, face to face.

The fascinating story of the kings and queens of England, from Alfred the Great to Elizabeth II, is presented in this highly readable guide. David Williamson provides a vivid and sensitive account of each monarch, revealing the dramatic events and controversies that surrounded their lives. The text is accompanied by over 100 portraits drawn from the National Portrait Gallery’s unique collection, illustrating every king and queen since the eleventh century.
The book begins by charting Celtic Britain before the Roman invasion to the Norman Conquest of 1066: the establishment of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the coming of Christianity and the unification of England. The subsequent dynastic struggles of the Angevins and Plantagenets heralded the great age of English kingship under the Tudors and Stuarts, who united the crowns of Scotland and England, before the Hanoverians combined personal rule with parliamentary government, ushering in the modern age and the royalty of today.
With a rich selection of images, anecdotes, comprehensive fact boxes and clear family trees, Kings & Queens is an essential reference book.
David Williamson was the co-editor of Debrett’s Peerage and Baronetage. His other books include Debrett’s Kings and Queens of Britain.
