In May 2011 Philip Wilson Publishers (PWP) was acquired by I.B.Tauris and Co Ltd, the leading independent publishers of academic books in the humanities and general interest titles across a range of subjects including history and art. I.B.Tauris has for several years provided sales, marketing and distribution services for PWP, and so the merger proved to be a painless integration of two organisations that already worked well together. All PWP staff have now relocated to I.B.Tauris’ main offices in Bayswater, London.

In its dynamic new home the PWP imprint remains dedicated to producing authoritative, finely designed art and illustrated books of the highest quality, as it has been for more than four decades. But the move and the extra resources the merger offers also present exciting opportunities to expand upon what has already been achieved, and we look forward to adding many more splendid titles to the list over the coming years. Meanwhile, of course, PWP already has more than 700 distinguished works to its name (all those still available are listed at the back of this catalogue), including catalogues raisonnés, art monographs, exhibition and private collection catalogues, guidebooks, and specialist works on architecture and design.

PWP has a great deal of experience working with world-class institutions; the museums and galleries with which it has published exhibition catalogues include Brooklyn Museum, The Frick Collection, Imperial War Museum,

Publisher’s Note Manchester Art Gallery, Meadows Museum, Victoria Miro Gallery, New-York Historical Society, the V&A and the Walters Art Museum, among many others. PWP’s exhibition catalogues are particularly successful because they are produced not only as a record of the exhibitions they accompany, but also as highly desirable reference works of lasting value in their own right.

PWP is always looking for books on subjects previously overlooked or that have not been properly documented, and welcomes proposals from institutions and private collectors alike.

This year exciting new titles include a study of the important Delftware collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and Painting Canada: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, which accompanies an exhibition opening at Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, and travelling to the National Museum, Oslo, and the Groninger Museum, Groningen. The much-lauded Watchmaking, which was reprinted last year and is already sold out, is being reprinted yet again and on the strength of this some other key items from the PWP backlist are being reissued, including Eric Ravilious: Imagined Realities and Edvard Munch: The Complete Graphic Works.

4 Philip Wilson Publishers 2011/2012

In early twentieth-century Toronto, Canada, the first stirrings of a new movement of painting were being felt. A group of artists started to engage with the awesome Canadian wilderness, a landscape previously considered too wild and untamed to inspire true art. Leading the way was Tom Thomson. In little more than three years of electrifying creativity before his premature death in 1917 he formulated an artistic language that captured the unique qualities of the Canadian landscape. Three years later his friends – Lawren Harris, J.E.H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston, Franklin Carmichael and A.Y. Jackson – formed the Group of Seven. They built on Thomson’s legacy to produce a landscape style that to this day influences the way Canadians visualise their country, and their paintings are national icons in Canada.

This book tells of the Group’s collective quest to depict Canada in paint. It recounts their beginnings, the challenges they faced and the remarkable and often extreme journeys they undertook in search of new subject matter. Essays explore the artists’ relationship with the Arctic north, and analyse Thomson’s art through the prism of the prevalent scientific theories of the day. A fresh, European perspective on these Canadians is offered in essays exploring their links with Scandinavian art and European expressionism. Beautifully illustrated with over 120 colour reproductions of their work, and maps indicating the geographical range covered by this selection of paintings, this book offers an insight into the history of this important – yet little-known in Europe – artistic movement.

This standard work remains the essential reference book for print experts, collectors and Munch enthusiasts alike, and is here reissued with revisions. Munch’s graphic works have fascinated people all over the world for more than a century. He himself arranged a number of exhibitions of his prints, and was represented in many print rooms and important private collections in Europe before World War II. His total output amounted to between 20,000 and 25,000 print impressions. When he died in 1944, Munch bequeathed his own vast collection of some 17,000 print impressions to the City of Oslo. In 1963, the Munch-museet opened its doors to the public, and since then the bequest has shown Munch’s prints in numerous exhibitions. The author’s extensive research and the enormous attention to detail in the individual entries will ensure that this remains the crucial work on the subject for many years to come.

The text gives informative details about technique, editions, states, versions, reprints, and where to find descriptions of the many surviving lithographic stones, wood blocks and metal plates in the Munch-museet. Finally, this catalogue raisonné includes photographs of all the 748 registered prints (many in colour), making it an indispensable tool for professionals, but also a beautiful art book for anyone fascinated by Edvard Munch’s pioneering contribution to the art of printmaking.

Gerd Woll is senior curator of prints and drawings at the Munch-museet. Active as an art critic in the early seventies, Woll achieved her degree in art history with a thesis on Munch’s ‘Worker’s Frieze’. She has presented this theme in several exhibitions and catalogues, both in Norway and abroad. Her main interest is in prints and drawings, and she has organised a vast number of print exhibitions, and has written numerous catalogue essays on Munch’s graphic works.

The history of tennis art is studded with the contributions of famous artists drawn to the game including John Lavery, L.S. Lowry, Christopher Wood, Eric Ravilious and more recently David Hockney and Tom Phillips. This book includes a wealth of these attractive images, as well as many by lesser known but highly accomplished artists of the 1920s and ’30s whose work deserves wider recognition, including Percy Shakespeare and Marjorie Watherston. Detailed examinations of the works are placed in a wider social, historical and art historical context.

The book comprises five essays: two by Ann Sumner covering a range of themes including the representation of women in tennis; a chapter by Kenneth McConkey on John Lavery and his many works inspired by the game; Robert Holland writes on the history of tennis in Birmingham, the West Midlands and Wales, while Susan Elks provides a history of tennis costume. Court on Canvas: Tennis in Art will appeal to tennis enthusiasts and art historians alike.

Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. His penetrating charcoal and pastel portraits were greatly admired by many of his leading artistic contemporaries including Wyndham Lewis, Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sargent.

This is the first book to focus on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War, firstly as an official war artist working for Kenneth Clark’s War Artist Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Information and then in a semi-official capacity for the Ministry of Labour, the War Office and London Transport. The majority of his drawings were portraits but also included are examples of his attractive landscapes as well as haunting symbolic works. The book draws upon a rich vein of unpublished archival material and documentation while including imagery that has not been reproduced in over half a century.

The portraits are accompanied by an array of enthralling stories of supposedly ordinary men and women who displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and moral courage when confronted by the test of Total War. Kennington’s frequently hazardous experiences as a war artist are explored, along with his often fractious relations with his employers at the Ministry of Information who were uneasy with his determination to celebrate individual servicemen who had killed for their country rather than promote non-combatants and civilian sitters more compatible with an official narrative that preferred to emphasise the ‘People’s War’ and the value of collective endeavour over the ecstatic truth of the hero.

His penetrating charcoal and pastel portraits were greatly admired by many of his leading artistic contemporaries including Wyndham Lewis, Stanley Spen-cer, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sargent. His draughtsmanship was also held in high regard by famous contemporaries in many fi elds and he could count as friends such as: T.E. Lawrence; Robert Graves; Siegfried Sassoon; George Bernard Shaw; J.B. Priestley; Kenneth Clark; John Rothenstein; Basil Liddell Hart; Julian Huxley and H.E. Bates.

This is the fi rst book to focus on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War, fi rstly as an offi cial war artist working for Kenneth Clark’s War Artist Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Information and then in a semi-offi cial capac-ity for the Ministry of Labour, the War Offi ce and London Transport. The majority of his drawings were portraits but also included are examples of his attractive landscapes as well as haunting symbolic works – inspired by powerful feelings evoked in wartime and the individuals in uniform he met as a war artist. The book draws upon a rich vein of unpub-lished archival material and documentation while including imagery that has not been reproduced in over half a century as well as works which have never hitherto appeared in colour.Different chapters discuss the fascinating portraits he produced; of sailors who had survived the Battles of the River Plate and of Narvik, of fi ghter pilots who fl ew day and night during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, of tank crews, munitions workers, men of the Home Guard who had already experi-enced the hell of the trenches and of employ-ees of London Transport who had displayed ‘grace under pressure’ during the worst of the bombing in 1940–41. The portraits are ac-companied by an array of enthralling stories of supposedly ordinary men and women who displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and moral courage when confronted by the test of Total War. Kennington’s fre-quently hazardous experiences as a war artist are explored along with his often fractious relations with his employers at the Ministry of Information who were uneasy with his determination to celebrate individual service-men who had killed for their country rather than promote non-combatants and civilian sitters more compatible with an offi cial nar-rative that emphasised the ‘People’s War’ and the value of collective endeavour.

‘A fascinating book’ – History Today


Franz Marc (1880 – 1916) was a leading member of the Blue Rider group which also included the painters Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alexej Jawlensky. The group marked the high point of German Expressionism and has had a profound influence on international art and culture since.

The third and final volume of this catalogue raisonné includes, along with other material, Marc’s thirty-two sketchbooks, which contain the many hundreds of drawings he made – some autonomous, some studies for other work – which together provide profound and intriguing insights into his art. The entries total more than a thousand sketchbook pages, of which over half are reproduced here for the first time, all in full colour. Many – in particular the famous colourful sheets from his mature years – have been separated from the sketchbooks and are here reunited with details of provenance and present location.

The catalogue also contains illustrated entries for his forty-seven prints – the early etchings and lithographs, and the well-known later woodcuts, each entry detailing medium, printer, impressions and, for sheets in museum collections, provenance and location. The individual sections within the catalogue are prefaced with introductory texts that explain the authors’ methodology in cataloguing the work. The volume concludes with concordances, a glossary of terms, a bibliography and a complete index.

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most impor-tant members of the Blue Rider group, together with other outstanding artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point in Ger-man Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.

This third and final volume of the full-colour cata-logue raisonné of Franz Marc covers all the artist’s sketchbooks and prints. The thirty-three sketchbooks have been reconstructed and the leaves presented in their original sequence, including more than 750 new entries taken from the individual folios. The new cata-logue on Marc’s prints provides an exhaustive docu-mentation of the various editions of the well-known woodcuts in particular. As in the first two volumes, the chronology of works has been fundamentally re-vised and brought up to date in line with the most re-cent research. Together with those two other volumes, the paintings (vol. I), and the watercolours, gouaches, drawings and postcards (vol. II), this book now makes Franz Marc’s complete œuvre accessible to the general public in a form that has never been available before. In doing so it represents the standard work for lovers of art, scholars and collectors alike, giving many fresh insights into this remarkable figure.

This complete catalogue of the English and Irish delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, reveals much that is beautiful and unusual. The greater part of the collection was bequeathed by Dr J.W.L. Glaisher in 1928, and much of it is little known. A detailed publication has long been overdue, and this book illustrates 588 items in colour, many with multiple views. The strength of Dr Glaisher’s collection is the English earthenware of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly delftware: no better assemblage has ever been made by a single collector. He amassed objects with great academic rigour over a period of more than thirty years, concentrating particularly on dated pieces while always exercising a discriminating and aesthetical eye.

Michael Archer’s catalogue provides details of date and place of manufacture, size, body, glaze, decoration and provenance with a full discussion where appropriate. Julia Poole has contributed a fascinating chapter with much new material on Dr Glaisher’s life and the extraordinary breadth of his collecting interests. There is also a general introduction to delftware, including a description of the manufacturing process; further sections give indexes and exhaustive information on all the works.

This book is an essential addition to the library of all scholars, collectors, auction rooms and dealers in the field and invaluable to those members of the public with an interest in the history of English pottery generally and delftware in particular.

Milos Sobaïc’s work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms – paintings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both painting and sculpture. These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his generation. Like many artists who come from the Balkans, he is a complete cosmopolitan. He has spent a long time living and working in Paris, his residence there the famous Bateau-Lavoir, once inhabited by Picasso, amongst other artists. He also teaches in China, at the Luxun Academy of Arts in Shenyang, and so is in close touch with the aesthetic revolution now taking place in Chinese art. Yet he has always been careful to maintain his roots in Serbia and Montenegro – his work has the epic sweep, as well as the passion and darkness, associated with traditional Balkan folktales.

By its very nature, Sobaïc’s work is difficult to classify. It has links to Francis Bacon, to the classical surrealism of Salvador Dalí, and to the romanticism of Gericault. It is constantly preoccupied, as indeed these artists were, with the bond between the sublime and the abject, and with the tragic nature of the human condition. Above all, however, it represents the world in flux, and it is no accident that one of the images he continues to revisit is that of a swimmer cleaving through water.

In this monograph, the first written on the artist in English, Edward Lucie-Smith analyses his work across the diverse media in which it appears, and the major themes with which it is concerned.

Edward Lucie-Smith is an internationally known art critic and historian, as well as a poet, anthologist and photographer. He has published more than a hundred books, including more than sixty titles on art, chiefly about contemporary work. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945, Visual Arts of the Twentieth Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world. In Britain he was for many years a well-known broadcaster, appearing regularly on the BBC arts discussion programme The Critics and its successor Critics’ Forum. He has also written for many leading British newspapers and periodicals.

Barbara Loftus’s figurative paintings and works in other media are known for their exploration of the interface between personal memory and historical events. In her cycle of artworks, Sigismund’s Watch, which takes its subtitle from the writings of the cultural critic Siegfried Kracauer, she reflects on the convergence of public and private life in a study of transgenerational memory. By means of her paintings, bookworks and archival material she focuses on a day long ago in the life of her mother Hildegard during the economically volatile Weimar period in Germany. The work is accompanied by three studies of Loftus’s work which identify recurrent themes, imagery and influences.

In an accompanying essay, Esther Leslie interrogates the socio-political climate of inter-war Germany, anatomising the human cost of the inflationary economy and identifying the ways in which the codifying imperative at the heart of systemised exchange and the invention of standardised time puts a strain on the potential for human relationships. Monica Bohm-Duchen provides a chronology for Loftus’s life and work, identifying recurrent themes, imagery and influences. Barbara Loftus describes the process through which she came to create this collection of work and identifies how the experience of dislocation and loss with which these works are concerned is the drive behind her attempt to ‘reclaim these memories from the amnesia of ruin and lost time’.

SIGISMUND’S WATCH a tiny catastrophe

This cycle of artworks takes its subtitle from the writings of the cultural critic SiegfriedKracauer. The painter Barbara Loftus reflects on the convergence of public and privatelife in this study of transgenerational memory. By means of her paintings, bookworks andarchival material she focuses on a day in the life of her mother Hildegard. Sigismund’sWatch came into being in response to Hildegard’s recollections from early childhood ofthe impact of the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany, which was to change her perceptionof the adult world. With the sudden breaking of her long-held silence in 1995 a doorwas unlocked into the past of a ruined Europe, revealing to her daughter, Barbara, thetraumatic invasion of family life by cataclysmic political events. This account proved tobe but a single page in Hildegard’s story, which her daughter has been exhumingthrough her work since 1995. These works reflect on the emotional milestones of a lifelived and how these experiences are transmitted to the next generation.

Eric Ravilious (1903–1942) is now one of the most popular artists of his period. He was a painter of watercolours and murals, a book illustrator in wood engraving and lithography, and a designer of transfer-ware pottery. He applied a dry and precise style of working to imaginative and romantic subject matter from the world around him and from his own transformations of the art and imagery of the past. From 1940 he was an Official War Artist, painting memorable pictures of ships, aircraft and coastal defences before his tragic death in a flying accident off Iceland.

Eric Ravilious: Imagined Realities includes illustrations of many previously unpublished paintings, including a number from private collections, as well as surveying his other artistic activities. The text draws on many letters and other documents, again previously unpublished, and is the most comprehensive account of Ravilious’s career in print. It also attempts to position Ravilious in relation to English art of his time, and more recent critical cultural issues.

This book reveals the West London district of Earls Court as an area of diverse people and cultures. Insightful and lively photographs taken at street level use the variety of backdrops afforded by Victorian and Edwardian architecture to frame their subjects. The connecting thread is a pursuit of movement, capturing fleeting, apparently un-newsworthy moments of people at work and play in their everyday lives.

For this series of photographs Catherine Farrell has developed a hybrid style using the loitering approach of a street photographer while simultaneously adopting the techniques of persistence and poise employed in celebrity and society photography. The images are shot in a widescreen format, reflecting a cinematic approach to movement and perspective.

Earls Court comprises a mix of social housing, up-market flats and period houses located in close proximity, and this book was conceived in order to document the area before it undergoes profound historical changes. After 2012 the iconic nine-acre Earls Court exhibition centre will be demolished and redeveloped, mainly into luxury homes, changing the character of the place forever.

She ran a West End gallery dealing in Chinese art 1990–2000 and first started photographing while travelling in India. Catherine studied photography at Reading University 2004–6. Her Earls Court images form part of a wider body of work celebrating London as a city of villages, featuring the diverse mix of people and cultures which are the very core of London.

This book re-examines the work of John Piper who, as well as being a prominent painter, printmaker and photographer, was an active figure in many cultural spheres during the 1940s when the foundations of his reputation were laid.

The book brings together work that was officially commissioned during the Second World War and contextualises it with work from the pre-war and post-war years. All aspects of Piper’s output during the forties are examined and illustrated, including theatre designs, architectural paintings, the Recording Britain project, his work as a war artist, neo-Romanticism, and Welsh landscape paintings towards the end of the decade. Also featured are Piper’s writings and criticism, his designs for film posters and book jackets, photographs, exhibition catalogues, sketchbooks and manuscript letters.

The Practical Watch EscapementGeorge Daniels

One of George Daniels’s central contributions to horology is his co-axial escapement. Observing over many years that the dominant lever escapement begins to change its rate after a year or two – a disturbance undoubtedly caused by the sliding action of the impulse elements of the escapement – Daniels set about developing a mechanism that avoided this problem. The result of his efforts was the co-axial escapement, a mechanism in which he sought to combine the strengths and eliminate the deficiencies of existing watch escapements, the lever escapement foremost among them. First devised in 1977, today it remains largely the same as fitted in watches of Daniels’s own manufacture, as well as those of several wrist-watch manufacturers. This book explains the action of the escapement in terms accessible to both expert and layman, and is accompanied by a series of detailed line drawings.

All in Good Time is the remarkable story of George Daniels, the master mechanic, who was born into poverty but raised himself to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century. Daniels stands alone in modern times as the inventor of the revolutionary co-axial escapement, the first substantial advance in portable mechanical timekeeping over the lever escapement, which has dominated ever since its invention in 1759. Daniels’s love of mechanics embraces not only the minute, however – he is also a passionate collector and driver of historic motorcars. This revised edition of his autobiography also contains a new section that illustrates and discusses over thirty of the pocket and wrist watches Daniels himself has made over the years. This book, then, will allow the reader to witness the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity, matchless skill and singularity of purpose over the most unpromising of beginnings.

3,500 years of art and belief in Norfolk

Edited by Andrew M

oore and Margit Thøfner

THE ART OF FAITH

This book celebrates the impact of faith on the art of a region with a long history of migration and diverse patterns of belief. The universality of the theme, along with its clear relevance to the history of one region and its cultural identity, makes this a celebration of more than local importance, with a reach well beyond that of the traditional survey.

Across the centuries, Norfolk has been the home to many and varied faiths. Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Romans all came with their own belief systems. During the Roman period, Christians also settled in this region and eventually – after a period of conflict – Christianity became the official religion. Other religions flourished too. In the middle ages there were thriving Jewish communities in Thetford, Bishops (now Kings) Lynn and Norwich, even though they suffered severe persecution from their Christian fellow citizens. From the fifteenth century onwards, there was a bewildering number of different branches of Christianity throughout the diocese of Norwich, an area significantly larger than the county boundary of Norfolk today.

In this region, the official and uniform religion of Protestant Christianity was only ever a general truth. Amongst others, there were Lollards, Catholics, Calvinists, Laudians, Puritans, Huguenots, Presbyterians and Quakers. Over the past two centuries a new pattern of diversity has emerged. To list but a few of the faiths now practiced by the citizens of Norfolk: there are Sikhs, Muslims, Pagans, Buddhists, Hindus and Mormons as well as older and more recently formed communities of Jews and Christians. Intriguingly, the low-lying landscape of this region of Britain can be seen to have had a lasting impact upon the sacred sites of many of these varied faiths.

The family behind the firm is a vignette into the lives of

some of the Garrard family during their one hundred

and twenty years of control of the leading jewellers

emporium Garrard & Company. The family took over

the business in 1792 successfully developing it to become

the Crown jewellers from the middle of the 19th century.

The firms craftsmen and designers produced some of

the most exotic jewellery of the time, during this period

of the expansion of the British Empire. The establishment

of the Garrard shop and offices in India and the life of

members of the family there, paints a glittering picture

of colonial existence as it was lived at the time of the

British Raj.

The economic and social upheaval that followed the

two world wars took its toll on the business. The

demand for extravagant jewellery declined and, despite

diversifying into the manufacture of high quality

gramophone players in Swindon, the firm suffered.

After the death of Sebastian Henry, the author’s grand-

father in 1946, the firm was sold under circumstances

that some considered bordered on the fraudulent and

its eventual demise was shrouded in a much publicised

court case.

This intimate family history enriched with personal pho-

tographs, paints a brilliant panorama of domestic life of

the time, set against the backdrop of privilege, wealth and

the glories of the Empire.

The Face of Courage Eric Kennington, Portraiture and the Second World WarJonathan Black

Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. This book, which has received excellent reviews, focuses on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War.

Eric Kennington (1888–1960) was one of the most talented British portraitists of the twentieth century. His penetrating charcoal and pastel portraits were greatly admired by many of his leading artistic contemporaries including Wyndham Lewis, Stanley Spen-cer, Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sargent. His draughtsmanship was also held in high regard by famous contemporaries in many fi elds and he could count as friends such as: T.E. Lawrence; Robert Graves; Siegfried Sassoon; George Bernard Shaw; J.B. Priestley; Kenneth Clark; John Rothenstein; Basil Liddell Hart; Julian Huxley and H.E. Bates.

This is the fi rst book to focus on some of the nearly 230 works he produced during the Second World War, fi rstly as an offi cial war artist working for Kenneth Clark’s War Artist Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Information and then in a semi-offi cial capac-ity for the Ministry of Labour, the War Offi ce and London Transport. The majority of his drawings were portraits but also included are examples of his attractive landscapes as well as haunting symbolic works – inspired by powerful feelings evoked in wartime and the individuals in uniform he met as a war artist. The book draws upon a rich vein of unpub-lished archival material and documentation while including imagery that has not been reproduced in over half a century as well as works which have never hitherto appeared in colour.Different chapters discuss the fascinating portraits he produced; of sailors who had survived the Battles of the River Plate and of Narvik, of fi ghter pilots who fl ew day and night during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, of tank crews, munitions workers, men of the Home Guard who had already experi-enced the hell of the trenches and of employ-ees of London Transport who had displayed ‘grace under pressure’ during the worst of the bombing in 1940–41. The portraits are ac-companied by an array of enthralling stories of supposedly ordinary men and women who displayed the most extraordinary physical, mental and moral courage when confronted by the test of Total War. Kennington’s fre-quently hazardous experiences as a war artist are explored along with his often fractious relations with his employers at the Ministry of Information who were uneasy with his determination to celebrate individual service-men who had killed for their country rather than promote non-combatants and civilian sitters more compatible with an offi cial nar-rative that emphasised the ‘People’s War’ and the value of collective endeavour.

Annegret Hoberg and Isabelle Jansen

Franz Marc (1880–1916) was one of the most impor-tant members of the Blue Rider group, together with other outstanding artists such as Vassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter, August Macke, Paul Klee and Alfred Kubin. The group marked the high point in Ger-man Expressionism and had a profound influence on international art during the brief period from its formation to the beginning of the First World War.

This third and final volume of the full-colour cata-logue raisonné of Franz Marc covers all the artist’s sketchbooks and prints. The thirty-three sketchbooks have been reconstructed and the leaves presented in their original sequence, including more than 750 new entries taken from the individual folios. The new cata-logue on Marc’s prints provides an exhaustive docu-mentation of the various editions of the well-known woodcuts in particular. As in the first two volumes, the chronology of works has been fundamentally re-vised and brought up to date in line with the most re-cent research. Together with those two other volumes, the paintings (vol. I), and the watercolours, gouaches, drawings and postcards (vol. II), this book now makes Franz Marc’s complete œuvre accessible to the general public in a form that has never been available before. In doing so it represents the standard work for lovers of art, scholars and collectors alike, giving many fresh insights into this remarkable figure.

SIGISMUND’S WATCH a tiny catastrophe

This cycle of artworks takes its subtitle from the writings of the cultural critic SiegfriedKracauer. The painter Barbara Loftus reflects on the convergence of public and privatelife in this study of transgenerational memory. By means of her paintings, bookworks andarchival material she focuses on a day in the life of her mother Hildegard. Sigismund’sWatch came into being in response to Hildegard’s recollections from early childhood ofthe impact of the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany, which was to change her perceptionof the adult world. With the sudden breaking of her long-held silence in 1995 a doorwas unlocked into the past of a ruined Europe, revealing to her daughter, Barbara, thetraumatic invasion of family life by cataclysmic political events. This account proved tobe but a single page in Hildegard’s story, which her daughter has been exhumingthrough her work since 1995. These works reflect on the emotional milestones of a lifelived and how these experiences are transmitted to the next generation.

With contributions by Monica Bohm-Duchen: independent art historian and curator Esther Leslie: Professor in Political Aesthetics at Birkbeck University of London

Barbara Loftus is the daughter of a German-Jewish refugee and an Anglo-Irish Communist.She grew up in London and studied art in the1960s.
