Amongst the great diversity of art which the Victorian age produced, nothing equals in interest its scenes of contemporary life; and yet, the importance of genre is still not fully appreciated. Admittedly, it was for the most part designed to appeal to the popular market - to that middle-class taste which was so potent a force in the development of Victorian art and literature. For this reason it has come to embody everything that we now regard as quintessentially "Victorian", a fact which explains both its current neglect and its importance.Genre painters may have lacked the serious intentions of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Social Realists, but their work is of equal cultural interest; not least because, in response to the demands of their patrons, genre painters constructed a veritable portrait of the age. The very appeal to middle-brow taste gives genre a special value, a claim eminently borne out by such striking images as Sophie Anderson's No Walk Today or Tissot's The Bridesmaid.Nothing encapsualtes the sentiments, ideals and obsessions of the Victorians so powerfully as paintings like these. The aim of this book is to give them the attention they so richly deserve.

Zaha Hadid: Testing the Boundaries

Hadid, Zaha

In the exclusionary world of high modern architecture, it is curious to discover that two icons of the movement both admired the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens - an architect who had little or no interest in modernism. Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright created buildings that are very different, and the two men did not even like each other, but they shared a fascination for Lutyens' distinctively non-international style architecture. This polemical text is an account of why this occured. By exposing common aesthetic and structural themes in the architecture of these three giants, including the cities of New Delhi and Chandigahr, in India, the author explains why Wright and Le Corbusier may have had more in common with Lutyens than with many of their modern peers. The primary text in the book was written in 1967 and was published in a student journal in the U.S. with a small circulation. It has remained an underground classic since then - perhaps because its contents are so disruptive of our current views of 20th century modernism.
