Lessons for Young Artists


A lifetime's learning about art, from one of Britain's leading artists We are all artists as children, painting and drawing each day. Most of us stop when we get older - but David Gentleman kept going. For over ninety years he has been drawing, painting, engraving and printing, rising to become one of Britain's best-known and most loved artists. His watercolours have filled galleries; his iconic wood cuts are emblazoned across posters, book jackets and train stations; his stamps have made their way to the furthest corners of the world. Here, the great, polymathic artist and craftsman shares what he has learned over the course of a lifetime of making and thinking about art. Unlike his contemporaries, Gentleman was never a teacher; his lessons are a sequence of unconventional prompts and reflections that will deepen how you think about art and the world around you. Sincere, practical and unpretentious, Gentleman's insights are a breath of fresh air. Here are new ways to focus, notice the world and cultivate your own style; techniques to evolve your work, from playing with time to painting in bad weather; methods for getting the most out of mistakes and negative criticism; and, above all, reminders to return, always, to the simple delights of creativity.

Inside Arabic Music


What makes hundreds of listeners cheer ecstatically at the same instant during a live concert by Egyptian diva Umm Kulthum? What is the unspoken language behind a taqsim (traditional instrumental improvisation) that performers and listeners implicitly know? How can Arabic music be so rich and diverse without resorting to harmony? Why is it so challenging to transcribe Arabic music from a recording? Inside Arabic Music answers these and many other questions from the perspective of two "insiders" to the practice of Arabic music, by documenting a performance culture and a know-how that is largely passed on orally. Arabic music has spread across the globe, influencing music from Greece all the way to India in the mid-20th century through radio and musical cinema, and global popular culture through Raqs Sharqi, known as "Bellydance" in the West. Yet despite its popularity and influence, Arabic music, and the maqam scale system at its heart, remain widely misunderstood. Inside Arabic Music de-mystifies maqam with an approach that draws theory directly from practice, and presents theoretical insights that will be useful to practitioners, from the beginner to the expert - as well as those interested in the related Persian, Central Asian, and Turkish makam traditions. Inside Arabic Music''s discussion of maqam and improvisation widens general understanding of music as well, by bringing in ideas from Saussurean linguistics, network theory, and Lakoff and Johnson''s theory of cognition as metaphor, with an approach parallel to Gjerdingen''s analysis of Galant-period music - offering a lens into the deeper relationships among music, culture, and human community.

The Spectral West


This book considers the presence of the supernatural and Gothic elements of the Western on screen. These dark and sinister undertones often exist in Western narratives to draw attention to the ever-present issue of death and its haunting resonance which characters encounter. This book examines this through key historic moments in Western film and its contemporary incarnations. The book detects imposing correlations in themes and currents between the Gothic and the Western relating to existential crisis and a loss of faith in ideologies and  institutions. These themes represent the tensions between the old and the new, the deranged insistence on civility and order in a chaotic landscape, disillusionment and the shattering of faith in the natural order, and even nature  and order themselves. The Western, just like the Gothic tale, reminds us that new frontiers are mired in the past, and optimism and survival are hunted down and haunted by guilt-ridden past and passed anxieties and traumas

Tina Turner by Peter Lindbergh


With her music and boundless passion for life, Tina Turner enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Peter Lindbergh was a lifelong friend of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and shot intimate portraits of her over many years. Lindbergh’s photographs do more than just document her iconic status; they reveal the powerful, joyful, and at times introverted woman behind the public persona. Through his lens, Peter Lindbergh captured Tina Turner’s radiant energy with an incredible sensitivity and his impeccable understanding of dramatic composition. His work shows Tina in all her complexity, blending her fierce spirit with quieter, more reflective moments. Across numerous settings—from the stage to the beach, from the streets to the iconic Eiffel Tower, with the city of Paris sprawling beneath her—Peter portrayed Tina throughout the years, always capturing the real Tina. His photos depict her singing, dancing, and simply being herself, effortlessly showcasing the depth of her character. Each image tells a story, a testament to her vitality and complexity, both on stage and in life. In each of these portraits, Tina is immediately recognizable. The book, which includes a personal foreword by Tina Turner’s husband Erwin Bach, is a heartfelt tribute to the friendship and deep connection between two artists who shaped the cultural landscape of the 20th century. It’s more than a collection of photographs; it’s a celebration of a shared journey of creativity, trust, and mutual respect. “We were partners in crime,” remembers Tina. “He was willing to try anything—and so was I! Together, we made magic!” The magic they made together lives on in Peter Lindbergh’s photographs. This book—a collection of images created during their long professional collaboration and enduring friendship—tells their special story.

Rick Owens: Temple of Love


Rick Owens remains one of the most daring and influential fashion designers working today. Often described as a-grunge-meets-glamor aesthetic, Owens has cultivated a devoted international following. In his creations, grace and grit are paired with an obsession with structural transformation and movement, where diaphanous, flowing shapes contrast with opaque forms and sharp edges, an approach to formal invention that is complimented by a mania for new and often exotic materials. Timed to coincide with the first comprehensive show of the designer s work taking place at the Palais Galliera in Paris in summer 2025, the scope and breadth of this exhibition promises to be a treat to both longtime fans and the uninitiated. Owens will reimagine the grand 19th-century palace housing the museum, with temporary installations that will serve as vitrines to his many creations. In effect dividing the book between the conception of showcases, and the precious objects that they display within, the curatorial essays bookending this visual narrative will attempt to describe the multidisciplinary, even architectural approach Owens has to his creations.
