Over the course of 202-2021, during the pandemic, Kara Walker has produced series of drawings in the style of a medieval 'Book of Hours'.

Cobra – A Pictorial and Poetic Revolution
2022 || Hardcover || Paul Huvenne || Hannibal Books
A magnificent introduction to the Cobra art movement
With French as its working language, Cobra was pretty much the last truly European movement within Modernism.

The work bequeathed to us by Karel Appel, Pierre Alechinsky, Constant, Corneille and other kindred spirits is as fascinating as ever, both raw...

Een van Londens gekende maar toch vrij obscure geschiedenissen betreft het feit dat in de periode tussen de vroege jaren 1800 tot de jaren 1950, ruim 250.000 Londenaren uit de arbeidersklasse - vooral vrouwen en kinderen - uit het East End vertrokken om de late zomerweken op het platteland in Kent door te brengen. Wat in de volkstaal omschreven werd als 'to go picking', cre
