Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here approximately two hundred works by French and Spanish artists chart the development of this cultural influence and map a fascinating shift in the paradigm of painting, from Idealism to Realism, from Italy to Spain, from Renaissance to Baroque. Above all, these images demonstrate how direct contact with Spanish painting fired the imagination of nineteenth-century French artists and brought about the triumph of Realism in the 1860s, and with it a foundation for modern art."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Tai-Shan Schierenberg is a marvelous painter of portraits. Their impressive range runs from the great-and-good (as in the National Portrait Gallery's celebrated study of Sir John Mortimer) to family and friends. But the portraiture, though central to the artist's life and work, tells only part of the story, which is unfolded in these pages in three ways. First is the beautifully reproduced work itself. Second, William Packer has written an incisive and stimulating essay, which explores and extols Schierenberg's achievement - 'taking no short cuts, making no compromises, sticking to his personal commitment...to painting as painting'. And then the artist himself, as fluent with pen as with paint, gives a revelatory account of his development as painter and man. Born into an artistic and peripatetic family, son of a Chinese mother and German father, Schierenberg creates memorable pen portraits of the experiences, people, art and ideas that shaped him and his work. His tales of St. Martin's and the Slade are convincing but sometimes surprising - for instance, the invaluable lessons learnt from the rigorous Euan Uglow. roots: 'I'm actually an abstract painter waylaid by the gratification of realism.' The gratification is ours, too; the work abounds with painterly passion and vivid life - whether the subject is a small child, an unnamed sitter, an erotic nude, or one of the magical and important landscapes taken from the artist's beloved Norfolk. The work is a tour de force, unending and unfolding, to which the book does full and enchanting justice.
