In this new study of the Sanby brothers Luke Herrman undertakes a neccessary reappraisal of two artists who can both claim the title of 'Father of English Watercolour'. Paul Sanby (1731-1809), though sometimes out of fashion, has never been ignored. Thomas Sanby (1723-1798), although prominent in the art and architecture of the later eighteenth century, has been overshadowed in reputation by his younger brother.This monograph, besides re-assessment of both artists, provides a detailed catalogue of over 50 watercolours and drawings in the Victoria & Albert Museum and the important Carr Album, covering all aspects of the Sandbys' careers. The catalogue is preceded by accounts of the life and work of both brothers -- material which in the past has been difficult of access, or published in patchy and sometimes unreliable sources. Professor Herrmann demonstrates the substantial contribution of the Sandbys to British landscape and topographical art, with the help of research pursued over ten years in England and the United States.

Guillaume Apollinaire's only book on art, The Cubist Painters, was first published in 1913. This essential text in twentieth-century art presents the poet and critic's aesthetic meditations on nine painters: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Marie Laurencin, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp. As Picasso's closest friend and Marie Laurencin's lover, Apollinaire witnessed the development of Cubism firsthand. This collection of essays and reviews, written between 1905 and 1912, is a milestone in the history of art criticism, valued today as both a work of reference and a classic example of modernist creative writing.In addition to a faithful and fluid translation of Apollinaire's text, Peter Read provides his own scholarly analysis of its importance in the history of modernism. He examines Apollinaire's art criticism, his relationship to the Cubist movement, and, more specifically, the genesis of Cubist Painters through its various revisions and proofs. Supported by all forty-five plates from the original edition, this new volume brings Apollinaire's vitality and vision to life for a new generation.
