Art Books

Why are we featuring art books in our bookshop - it's not photography? Well no, it isn't, but studying art can influence what we photograph, how we photograph it and the treatment we give to our images in post processing.


This section of our bookshop will be home to a variety of books containing the work of famous artists. We are not suggesting you attempt to copy these artists directly (but you can should you wish), but they are intended to act as influences to your photographic work, helping us to see how to photograph the world about us differently.

Memory and Magic - Andrew Wyeth

Edward Hopper Masterpieces of Art

Memory and Magic - Andrew Wyeth

"Andrew Wyeth: Memory & Magic" focuses on the artist's ongoing  love affair with everyday things - domestic, natural and architectural.  Found throughout Wyeth's portraits, landscapes and domestic interiors,  these objects form patterns that illuminate core themes and reveal the  artist wrestling with issues of memory, temporality, embodiment, and the  metaphysical. The book  includes a number of portraits, which introduce readers to the people associated with these painted things and  places.

Caravaggio: Complete Works

Rembrandt's Universe: His Art, His Life, His World

Edward Hopper Masterpieces of Art

The painter who brought the heavenly down to earth, Caravaggio (1571-1610), was always a  name to be reckoned with.Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the  artist was at once celebrated and controversial: Violent in temper,  precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. This work  offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire oeuvre with a  catalogue raisonne of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large  format, with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic  close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures.

Another Photographic Reality - Aaron Siskind

Another Photographic Reality - Aaron Siskind

Another Photographic Reality - Aaron Siskind

Aaron Siskind (1903 1991), teacher, journalist and photographer, was an  artist of great originality, unprecedented in American photography. This  has tended to result in his work being misinterpreted, balanced as it  is between the influences of Walker Evans and Moholy Nagy. It ranges  from the early documentary realism of the 1930s to the experimental and  difficult abstract work of the 1950s. In this handsomely illustrated  book, the authors examine the artist's journey from one aesthetic to  another, situating the work of the 1930s in the context of the Great  Depression and the politicised Photo League, through to the 1940s and  Siskind's attraction to vernacular and architectural photography.
