    Fairy Fellers - large poster

    £12.95

    Richard Dadd painted this work in the Bethlem Hospital where he was sent after murdering his father and being declared insane. The scene was drawn from his imagination. It shows the ‘fairy-feller’ poised to split a large chestnut which will be used to construct Queen Mab’s new fairy carriage. The style, subject and shifting scale of the painting all contribute to a sense of the fantastic that fits the critic Herbert Read’s idea of an imaginative tradition running through to Surrealism in the early twentieth century.

    The Three Dancers - poster

    £20.00

    Large full colour poster printed to accompany Tate Britain's Picasso and Modern British Art exhibition.

    Carnation Lily Lily Rose - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring John Singer Sargent's Carnation, Lily, Lily Rose.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    The inspiration for this picture came during a boating expedition Sargent took on the Thames at Pangbourne in September 1885, with the American artist Edwin Austin Abbey, during which he saw Chinese lanterns hanging among trees and lilies. He began the picture while staying at the home of the painter F.D. Millet at Broadway, Worcestershire, shortly after his move to Britain from Paris. At first he used the Millets's five-year-old daughter Katharine as his model, but she was soon replaced by Polly and Dorothy (Dolly) Barnard, the daughters of the illustrator Frederick Barnard, because they had the exact haircolour Sargent was seeking. Dolly, aged eleven, is on the left; Polly, aged seven, is on the right.

    Meet The People - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring Sir Eduardo Paolozzi's 'Meet the People.'

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    These collages are mainly made from magazines given to Paolozzi by American ex-servicemen. They show his fascination with popular culture and technology, as well as with the glamour of American consumerism. The title of the series refers to Henry Ford''s famous statement that ''History is more or less bunk.... We want to live in the present''. It reflects Paolozzi''s belief that his work should respond to contemporary culture.

    Blue Ship - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring Alfred Wallis' 'Blue Ship.'

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    Alfred Wallis spent most of his working life as a fisherman but by the time he was discovered in St Ives by Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood in 1928 he had become a rag and bone merchant. He began painting at the age of seventy to keep himself company. Wallis painted memories of deep sea fishing boats which were no longer in use. He also painted landscapes based on the surrounding area. Nicholson and Wood were impressed by the directness of Wallis's work, his use of irregular shaped pieces of cardboard as a support and ground, and the object-like quality of the paintings. The discovery of Wallis encouraged them to pursue further their adoption of a 'naive' vision.

    Married Couple - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring George Grosz Married Couple.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/9/green_donkey_small_poster_9_medium.jpg

    Green Donkey - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring Chagall's The Green Donkey, 1911.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    While living in Paris between 1910 and 1914 Chagall made many works based on nostalgic memories of his Russian homeland. The na‹ve style and curious subject of this painting reflect the artist's preoccupation with folk traditions, particularly those of his Jewish heritage. At one time known as 'Village Scene', the colouring and strange arrangement of figures evoke a fantastical scene. While this may relate to a folk tale, no specific narrative for the green donkey has been identified.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/34/berlin_blues_4_small_poster_34_medium.jpg

    Berlin Blues 4 - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring William Scott's 'Berlin Blues 4.'

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    Scott spent a scholarship year in Berlin in 1963-4. According to him, the title for this painting, was chosen because it was one of a group of blue pictures started in Berlin and the particular blue pigment he used for them was discovered by him in that city. He commented that in this work the spatial relationships in his composition had become more symmetrical and Byzantine in origin. In the mid-1960s Scott simplified and clarified his paintings, using bolder shapes and eliminating textural contrasts. Paint was evenly and thinly applied, as here.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/16/cossacks_kandinsky_medium.jpg

    Cossacks - small poster

    £3.50

    Small poster featuring Wassily Kandinsky's 'Cossacks' 191-11.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    Kandinsky believed that abstract paintings could convey spiritual and emotional values simply through the arrangement of colours and lines. Cossacks was made during a transitional period, when he retained some representational elements, such as the two Russian cavalrymen in tall orange hats in the foreground of the painting. Kandinsky considered these as points at which the images could be registered, rather than the true content of the painting.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/20/the_snail_small_poster_20_mediumalt1.jpg

    The Snail - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring Matisse's 'The Snail'.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    The Snail is one of the last and largest pieces in Matisse's final series of works, known as cutouts. Confined to bed through illness, he had assistants paint sheets of paper in gouache which he then cut. The shell of a snail inspired the spiralling arrangement of roughly cut pieces of paper. Compared to his earlier paintings, Matisse believed that he had gained 'greater completeness and abstraction' in the cutouts. 'I have attained a form filtered to its essentials', he remarked.

    Mice Sewing Mayors Coat - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring Helen Beatrix Potter's 'Mice sewing Mayors Coat.'

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    The illustrations for The Tailor of Gloucester, her second and favourite book, were drawn in Gloucester and the country round about, the story being based on an actual Gloucestershire story that she heard while staying with a cousin near Stroud. The fabrics in the watercolours are said to have been taken from fabrics in the V. & A.

    The book was first privately printed, in a limited edition of 400 copies, in 1902; Frederick Warne & Co. published their first edition in 1903. D. Billington, Managing Director of Frederick Warne & Co., stated: 'Regarding the 22 original illustrations held in your Gallery, these are the same drawings from which we originally made the blocks in our 1903 first edition. Only two of these were used in the 1902 edition and these appear on pages 40 and 43 of the present (1958) edition' (letter of 28 January 1959). In addition the ninth illustration was used only in the 1902 edition. There are seven further plates in the Warne edition, the drawings for which are not at the Tate Gallery.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/15/rain_small_poster_15_medium.jpg

    Rain - small poster

    £3.50

    Small poster featuring Howard Hodgkin's 'Rain' 1984-9.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    Although seemingly abstract, Hodgkin's paintings are rooted in everyday reality. He has stated;I start out with the subject and naturally. 'I have to remember first of all what it looked like, but it would also perhaps contain a great deal of feeling and sentiment. All of that has got to be somehow transmuted, transformed or made, into a physical object; Rain is one of his largest paintings, and suggests a landscape viewed through a window, with lowering storm clouds and squalls shafting down.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/17/swining_large_poster_m.jpg

    Swinging - small poster

    £2.50

    Small poster featuring Kandinsky's 'Swinging'

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstract painting and worked with geometrical forms from the mid 1920s. Although it makes no reference to the outside world, his work summons up the exciting rhythms of contemporary life. The title of this painting conveys a sense of dynamic movement. Ironically, Kandinsky's move into abstraction came in response to his feelings of revulsion at the materialism of modern life. An art freed from the depiction of objects seemed to offer a solution to his spiritual crisis.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/resources/images/no_image_medium.gif

    The Pond - small poster

    £7.00

    Small poster featuring L.S. Lowry's 'The Pond'.

    Our posters include a white border, title and artist's name.

    'The Pond' is an impressive industrial landscape containing many features typical of Lowry's work; smoking chimneys, terraced houses and on the right, in the middle distance, the Stockport Viaduct. The scene is brought to life by his so called 'matchstick' people who swarm like ants through the city's streets and open spaces. 'This is a composite picture built up from a blank canvas. I hadn't the slightest idea of what I was going to put in the canvas when I started the picture but it eventually came out as you see it. This is the way I like working best'. Lowry considered this to be his finest industrial landscape.

    Large poster featuring Salvador Dali's 'Metamorphosis of Narcissus.'

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/167/porthleven_large_poster_167_medium.jpg

    Porthleven - large poster

    £12.95

    Large poster featuring Peter Lanyon's 'Porthleven.'

    This work exemplifies Lanyon's idea of the 'experiential landscape', which involved approaching a place from different positions and combining these views with allusions to geology, history, culture and myth. Here he depicts the fishing port of Porthleven from several perspectives, revealing its two harbours and clock tower. Lanyon later identified a human presence in the work, reading the shape on the left as a fisherman with lamp and his wife wrapped in a shawl on the right. Influenced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and his theories of the unconscious, the artist saw these as figures embodying the cultural identity of his home.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/190/morning_procter_large_poster_190_medium.jpg

    Morning - large poster

    £12.00

    Poster featuring Dod Procter's 'Morning.'

    This was voted Picture of the Year at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1927 and bought for the nation by the Daily Mail newspaper. From c.1922 Dod Procter had begun to paint a series of simple, monumental portraits of young women that she knew, utilising the fall of light across the figures to give a powerful sense of volume. The model was Cissie Barnes, the sixteen year old daughter of a fisherman from Newlyn, the Cornish village that was home to Dod Procter for most of her working life. The popularity of this painting led to its being displayed in New York, followed by a tour of Britain from 1927 to 1929.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/118/after_lunch_118_medium.jpg

    After Lunch - large poster

    £12.95

    Large poster featuring Patrick Caulfield's 'After Lunch.'

    Caulfield's paintings explore alternative ways of picturing the world. After Lunch was one of his earliest works to combine different styles of representation. In this case, what appears to be a photomural of the Chƒteau de Chillon hanging in a restaurant is depicted with high-focus realism, contrasting with the cartoon-like black-outlined imagery and fields of saturated colour of its surroundings. Caulfield deliberately makes the relationship between these varying representational methods uneasy and ambiguous, so that the picture appears more real than the everyday world around it.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/196/the_beloved_large_poster_196_medium.jpg

    The Beloved - large poster

    £12.00

    Large poster featuring Dante Gabriel Rossetti's 'The Beloved.'

    The bride is described in the biblical Song of Solomon. Rossetti shows her at the moment she takes the veil from her face, transfixing the viewer with her direct gaze and the power of her beauty.

    The picture's lush exoticism is accentuated by the flowers and the bride's luxurious Japanese dress and Peruvian headress. Her attendants are of varying physical types and ethnic origin. Some modern commentators suggest that Rossetti is celebrating the diversity of beauty. Others see it as racist, a visualisation of the supremacy of the bride's whiteness, in contrast to the darker complexions of her attendants.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/197/proserpine_large_poster_197_medium.jpg

    Proserpine - large poster

    £12.00

    Large Poster feature Rosetti's 'Proserpine'.

    In the classical myth Proserpine was kidnapped by Pluto, the god of the underworld, to be his wife. She begged to be returned to earth, but because she had eaten some pomegranate seeds Pluto confined her to his kingdom for half of each year. She is shown here eating a pomegranate which symbolises captivity. Jane Morris modelled for Proserpine. She was married to Dante Gabriel Rossetti's friend William Morris and was also Rossetti's lover. She was unhappy in her marriage and Rossetti may also have seen her as a captive goddess.

  • http://shop.tate.org.uk/content/ebiz/shop/invt/149/three_forms_large_poster_149_medium.jpg

    Three Forms - large poster

    £12.00

    A beautiful photographic poster of Barbara Hepworth's Three Forms 1935.

    Total poster size measures 8 x 6cm and includes a white border.

    In 1934 Barbara Hepworth's abstraction based on the human figure gave way to an art of pure form. With such works as Three Forms she reduced her sculpture to the most simple shapes and eradicated almost all colour. She said later that she was 'absorbed in the relationships in space, in size and texture and weight, as well as the tensions between forms'. While the three elements are slightly imperfect in shape, their sizes and the spaces between them are precisely proportional to each other. This reflects her concern with the craft of hand-carving and with harmonious arrangement of form.
