    This stunning vintage poster gives you the opportunity to own a rare piece of art history.

    For several decades now, vintage lithographic posters have become collectible works of art in their own right. With little in common with offset or digital reproductions, their place in art history is well established and documented Artists such as Picasso were intimately involved in the production of these works. Conceived as announcements for exhibitions, ads for tourism and as illustrations for political events, these works were often the creations that had the broadest audience. Twentieth century artists were quite aware of this fact and therefore spent much energy and time on their design and quality.

    Picasso & Modern British Art

    £19.99 Was £24.99

    Accompanying a major touring exhibition, Picasso and Modern British Art is the first book to explore Pablo Picasso’s lifelong connections with the United Kingdom.

    Picasso’s enormous impact on British modernism is examined through seven artists in particular for whom he proved an important stimulus: Duncan Grant, Wyndham Lewis, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Graham Sutherland and David Hockney. Their responses to Picasso’s work are wide and varied: from Francis Bacon's extraordinary Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion (1944) that draws from Picasso’s paintings of figures on the beach at Dinard, works that Bacon said first inspired him to take up painting, to David Hockney’s pictorial ‘homages’ to Picasso after visiting the major Picasso retrospective exhibition at Tate eight times, the beginning of a life-long obsession with the artist. Such was Picasso’s status that it extended beyond the artistic to the political sphere, with the tour of his anti-Fascist work Guernica at the end of the 1930s and his presence at the Sheffield Peace Conference in 1950 making headline news.

    With over 150 illustrations and texts by leading experts in the field, this book sheds light on a little-known aspect of Picasso’s career, while at the same time redrawing our mental map of British culture in the early and mid-twentieth century.

    James Beechey is an art historian and the author of Patrick Heron: Paintings 1970-84. Chris Stephens is Curator (Modern British Art) and Head of Displays at Tate Britain and the editor of Henry Moore and Francis Bacon.
    Contributors Andrew Brighton, Christopher Green, Helen Little and Richard Humphreys, plus an interview with John Richardson.

    The Picasso Book

    £17.99

    Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973) was the most prolific artist in the history of Western art, producing over two thousand oil paintings, as well as sculptures, ceramics, collages, prints, photographs, drawings and jewellery designs. Drawing extensively on recent research, this book provides an overview of the full range of Picasso's art and career.

    In a unique approach it examines Picasso's relationship to the central themes of poetry, war, the 'disfigurement' of the human form, play, and the figure of the artist. Both an ideal introduction for those coming fresh to Picasso's work and a source of new insights for those already familiar with his career, this accessible book is one of the most significant additions to Picasso literature in recent years.

    Neil Cox is Professor of Art History and Theory at the University of Essex.

    The Three Dancers - miniprint

    £6.00

    Mini print featuring 'The Three Dancers' by Pablo Picasso.

    Our mini prints include a white border and title.

    The jagged forms of Three Dancers convey an explosion of energy. The image is laden with Picasso's personal recollections of a triangular affair, which resulted in the heart-broken suicide of his friend Carlos Casagemas. Love, sex and death are linked in an ecstatic dance. The left-hand dancer in particular seems possessed by uncontrolled, Dionysian frenzy. Her face relates to a mask from Torres Strait, New Guinea, owned by the artist, and points to Picasso's association of 'primitive' forms with expressiveness and sexuality.

    Picasso: Peace and Freedom (Hardback)

    £35.00

    Picasso: Peace and Freedom reveals a radically different figure from the one often presented in art historical accounts. In it we meet a politically and socially engaged artist, who joined the French Communist Party in October 1944 and remained a member until his death in 1973. Actively engaged in the Peace Movement, for which he was a prominent spokesperson, his work during this period chronicled human conflict and war but also expressed a deep desire for international understanding and equality.

    After the Second World War, Picasso, already widely recognised as the world's greatest living artist, emerged as a celebrated political figure and hero of left-wing causes. His 'Dove of Peace' became the international emblem of the Peace Movement and a symbol of hope during the Cold War period. He was a tireless campaigner for freedom and justice, contributing generously both to the Party and a range of humanitarian causes.

    Picasso's political commitment and its implications for his work can be seen as one of the last undiscovered territories in the study of the artist. A wealth of new material and research makes a direct link between his art and his politics. Picasso's habit of precisely dating his works means that each can be aligned with world events that were unfolding at the time, whether the Fascist victory and dictatorship in Spain, the Liberation of France, the Algerian War of Independence or the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Alongside masterworks related to the themes of war and peace from the 1940s onwards, this richly illustrated book features posters, prints, drawings, ceramics and an extensive range of ephemera including contemporary letters, archival documents, period publications and newspapers.

    Picasso: Peace and Freedom reveals a radically different figure from the one often presented in art historical accounts. In it we meet a politically and socially engaged artist, who joined the French Communist Party in October 1944 and remained a member until his death in 1973. Actively engaged in the Peace Movement, for which he was a prominent spokesperson, his work during this period chronicled human conflict and war but also expressed a deep desire for international understanding and equality.

    After the Second World War, Picasso, already widely recognised as the world's greatest living artist, emerged as a celebrated political figure and hero of left- wing causes. His 'Dove of Peace' became the international emblem of the Peace Movement and a symbol of hope during the Cold War period. He was a tireless campaigner for freedom and justice, contributing generously both to the Party and a range of humanitarian causes.

    Picasso's political commitment and its implications for his work can be seen as one of the last undiscovered territories in the study of the artist. A wealth of new material and research makes a direct link between his art and his politics. Picasso's habit of precisely dating his works means that each can be aligned with world events that were unfolding at the time, whether the Fascist victory and dictatorship in Spain, the Liberation of France, the Algerian War of Independence or the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Alongside masterworks related to the themes of war and peace from the 1940s onwards, this richly illustrated book features posters, prints, drawings, ceramics and an extensive range of ephemera including contemporary letters, archival documents, period publications and newspapers.
