History & Criticism

Dulwich Picture Gallery was founded in 1811. Its importance today lies in its outstanding collection of 17th- and 18th-century paintings, and in the building, designed by Sir John Soane. This is the first fully illustrated catalogue of the entire collection of some 650 paintings, including Rembrandt's `Girl at a Window', Rubens's `Venus, Mars and Cupid', Poussin's `Triumph of David' and Murillo's `Flower Girl'.

Dawn Cookson's account of Pietro Annigoni's Florentine studio is an insider's view of the legendary Italian maestro's heydey. First a pupil of Nerina Simi, but aspiring to learn directly from the great man himself, with enormous persistance she eventually persuaded him to take her on as an assistant and pupil in spite of being both female, and a foreigner. A young woman working in a largely male creative environment, Dawn Cookson's sharp eye and ear for the dramatic and the comical reveal not only how high Annigoni's own standards of design and craftsmanship were and how hard it was to please him in the pursuit of excellence, but also his perception and generosity in dealings withassistants, clients, models, sitters, friends and pupils. 
No account of this kind would be complete without some discussion of painting methods and processes, and the author includes Annigoni's own formula and procedure for preparing oil tempera, a medium in which he was particularly renowned for his skill. There is also a foreword by Annigoni's son Benedetto. DAWN COOKSON RBSA is a professional portrait painter whose many commissions have included a portrait of HRH the Princess Royal for the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment.

Fred Cuming, whose work and painting methods have recently been the subject of a highly successful video in a series published on distinguished Royal Academicians, has now put some of his thoughts and images into a book. He explains why he paints, the struggles and rewards, and how he works. Visual intelligence, observation, colour, subjects and sites, his studios, poetry and music are all discussed as he explains the power of paint, the influences upon him and sources of inspiration. Fred Cuming has always painted, and in describing his childhood, formal training, and first visit to Italy, his enthusiasm and compulsion to get started professionally he reveals his powerful vocation. He also expresses strong views on the art business, art and fashion, art schools, teachers and critics - and the avant garde.
