Leon Kossoff

Tate Gallery; Paul Moorhouse; Leon Kossoff

Leon Kossoff is one of the most distinctive British artists of the post-war period. Born in Islington in 1926, Kossoff has spent most of his life in the city of his birth and the changing face of London's urban landscape has been a major theme of his art. In the 1950s, Kossoff's dramatic paintings and drawings of bomb sites documented the aftermath of war. These led, in the following decade, to panoramic railway landscapes which charted the city's rebirth and regeneration. In London's railways - from King's Cross to Kilburn Underground station - Kossoff found a focus for the lifeblood of the city. His paintings of these motifs, and of swimming pools, street scenes, markets and London's buildings, form a vivid portrait of modern life in a great metropolis. Kossoff's fascination with London has been complemented by his parallel concern with people. The figure has been a central preoccupation. His subjects are members of his family, friends and models with whom he has forged close working relationships. His portraits of these individuals, and his intimate studies of the nude, are powerful and moving evocations of the human presence. This catalogue is published to coincide with the Tate Gallery's major retrospective exhibition of Kossoff's work - the first survey of his career from the 1950s to the present. It reproduces in color every work in the exhibition and contains an illustrated essay by Paul Moorhouse, the exhibition's curator, which explores in detail the development of Kossoff's art. There is also a biographical chronology with archival photographs, and an extensive bibliography.

Turner's Holland

Tate Gallery; Fred G.H Bachrach; J.M.W. Turner

Turner's Holland explores Turner's tours through Holland and the influence they had on his art. Turner attended the Royal Academy Schools from the age of fourteen where he studied old masters including seventeenth-century Dutch artists. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the Academy's president, declared that 'painters should go to the Dutch School to learn the art of painting as they would go to grammar school to learn languages'. On his first trip abroad, in 1802, Turner studied and copied Dutch painting in the Louvre. Following Napoleon's defeat, his first tour to the Continent was to the new Kingdom of the United Netherlands, which included modern-day Belgium. In 1817 he visited the battlefield of Waterloo and a year later exhibited the anti-war masterpiece, 'The Field of Waterloo'. A landscape painter who loved the sea, Turner was also fascinated by Dutch shipping, fishing, and maritime history. When shown a print of a seascape by the eminent Dutch artist Van de Velde, he is said to have whispered, 'That made me a painter'. He made over six hundred sketches during his various travels in Holland in 1817, 1825, 1840, 1841 and 1842. In this publication, the Dutch Turner scholar and cultural historian Fred Bachrach examines twenty-three of Turner's Dutch-inspirited oil paintings, explaining their significance and suggesting the reasons, sometimes political, behind Turner's selection of particular subjects. He also related sketches to the paintings and examines their relationship to the Dutch old masters.
