By contextualizing the works within the social, political, and cultural frameworks of the time, Hurll'Äôs text serves as both an introduction to the uninitiated and a valuable resource for scholars, as it meticulously examines key figures and stylistic movements in the realm of Hellenistic sculpture. Estelle M. Hurll was an accomplished art historian whose passion for classical antiquity and its artistic expressions shaped her academic pursuits. Her meticulous research draws upon a rich tapestry of historical artifacts and archaeological findings, reflecting her dedication to illuminating the complexities of Greek art. Hurll's intimate familiarity with European art movements and classical philosophy also enriches the narrative of the book, allowing her to explore the philosophical underpinnings of the artistic transformations of ancient Greece. "Greek Sculpture" is an essential read for art enthusiasts, students, and scholars alike, offering a nuanced exploration of the cultural legacy of Greek artistry. Readers will find that Hurll'Äôs eloquent prose not only enhances their appreciation for these timeless works but also invites a thoughtful dialogue about their impact on Western art and culture.

    New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics.
    Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his techniques for the first time – making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of vivid colour.
    Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising – yet often simple – ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.
    Paul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.
    This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.
