A guide to decoding the vocabularies of 20th century art. The author guides readers step by step through the process of defining the physical properties of a work of art as well as its subject matter and its illusionary and formal properties, never losing sight of the point of view from which the work was created. The author examines works by Cezanne, Picasso, Pollock and Johns, as well as many post-modern artists.
Chatto was founded in 1855 by a bookseller-publisher called John Camden Hotten. On Hotten's death, Andrew Chatto, who had worked there since he was fifteen, acquired the business with a sleeping partner, W.E. Windus. In 1917, The Hogarth Press was founded by Virginia and Leonard Woolf, and in 1946 this too came under Chatto's management. The firm published many significant writers and classics - R.L. Stevenson, Lytton Strachey, Marcel Proust, Laurie Lee, Christopher Isherwood, Rosamond Lehmann, Henry Green, Sigmund Freud and Iris Murdoch. Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate, was editorial director in the 1960s.
