Synopsis

In "Frederic Lord Leighton: An Illustrated Record of His Life and Work," Ernest Rhys meticulously chronicles the life of the renowned Victorian painter and architect, Lord Leighton. This richly illustrated biography employs a blend of descriptive narrative and critical analysis, showcasing Leighton's artistic evolution and his significant contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the Aestheticism of the late 19th century. Rhys's style is both poetic and analytical, weaving together personal anecdotes and historical context, which allows readers to grasp the complexities of Leighton's artistic vision and the socio-cultural implications of his work. Ernest Rhys, a pivotal figure in the literary landscape of the early 20th century, is best known for his role as an editor and advocate for the New Humanity movement. His extensive knowledge of the arts and literature, along with his intimate understanding of the Victorian era's artistic turmoil, positioned him uniquely to delve into Leighton's life. Rhys's admiration for Leighton's pursuit of beauty—as well as his own creative pursuits—shines through, illuminating the deep connections between aesthetic philosophy and artistic practice that inspired the artist's oeuvre. For those seeking a profound exploration of Victorian art and the life of one of its luminaries, Rhys's biography is an essential read. This volume not only celebrates Leighton's artistic achievements but also invites readers to consider the broader implications of beauty in art, making it a crucial addition to the canon of art history literature.

    Francis Bacon's Nanny

    At the very centre of the life of one of the twentieth-century's greatest artists was the most unexpected of life-long influences. The aptly named Jessie Lightfoot shielded the young Francis Bacon from the brutish violence of his bullying father, as well as from his worst self-immolating excesses later in life. The tenderness, wit and warmth of this inimitable Nanny stands in illuminating relief to the sulphurous palette that defined Bacon's work.
    Beyond the humour and heart of this extraordinary woman – who finds herself confronted with the shade and guile of the artworld – Maylis Besserie also gives us a glimpse of Ireland in the first half of the twentieth century, both a powder keg and a place apart from the rest of the world, whose landscapes, imagery and animals haunted the famous painter's canvases.
    In the final of Maylis Besserie's Irish-French trilogy, her preoccupation with the art and lives of artists who crossed borders between France and Ireland has a fitting climax as Bacon confronts the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
    
    
    'In a virtuoso feat of literary ventriloquism, Maylis Besserie follows the advice of the Greek poet Cavafy to approach the world from unique and strange angles. Through the eyes of Bacon's nanny and close companion, she gives us brilliant insights into the conflicting personal, sexual, and artistic impulses that shaped a remarkable artist, rendered in the steadfast voice of someone who understood and loved the complex man behind the art. It marks a wonderful conclusion to a remarkable Irish trilogy.' Dermot Bolger

    American roots music, also known as Americana music, can be challenging to categorize, spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass, country, blues, rock and roll, and an assortment of variations in between. In The Downhome Sound, Mandi Bates Bailey explores the messages, artists, community, and appeal of this seemingly disparate musical collective. To understand the art form's intended meanings and typical audiences, she analyzes lyrics and interviews Americana artists, journalists, and festival organizers to uncover a desire for inclusion and diversity. Bailey also conducts an experiment to assess listener reception relative to more commercial forms of music. The result is an in-depth study of the political and cultural influence of Americana and its implications for social justice.
