Vigorous, stimulating, humorous, contemplative, intellectual, imaginative, innovative, Patrick Reyntiens is still producing magnificent stained glass in his late eighties. Britain's foremost stained glass designer is especially known for his glass at Liverpool's Roman Catholic Cathedral and his work at Coventry Cathedral in collaboration with John Piper.This scholarly, beautifully illustrated book, designed and written by Libby Horner, catalogs not only all Reyntiens' ninety-eight commissions over the past 60 or so years (including the famous Piper/Reyntiens collaborations) but also over six hundred autonomous panels. The range of work, from traditional to abstract to figurative, and the range of subject matter from religious themes to Ovid's Metamorphoses to commedia dell'arte is truly inspiring and guaranteed to captivate even the most skeptical.The book includes a preface by Sir Roy Strong, an introduction by Frances Spalding and an after word by the artist himself, a glossary of terms, notes on recurring themes and symbolism, a tabulated biography and an extensive bibliography.

<i>Yoshijiro Urushibara: A Japanese printmaker in London</i> is a catalogue raisonné of the work of Yoshijiro Urushibara (1889-1953), a Japanese artist and craftsman who lived and worked in London from 1910 to 1940. During his thirty years in Europe, Urushibara produced a considerable number of prints and played a major role in encouraging the production and appreciation of the colour woodcut in the Japanese manner, especially in Britain. Throughout his career Urushibara contributed to cross-cultural interactivity, collaborating with several European artists. His most famous and successful collaboration was with the British artist Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956).<br>The authors had unique access to the artist's family archive in Tokyo and recorded and evaluated the extent of Urushibara's print production. With fully researched catalogue entries, full-colour illustrations, and illuminating biographical and contextual essays, this publication - the first of its kind in the English language - provides a comprehensive account of Urushibara's life and oeuvre.<br>
