John Blockley was one of Britains most outstanding watercolour and pastel painters of the late 20th century, and has exhibited at the Royal Academy. Self-taught, he produced work that has always been experimental and progressive. His highly textured style was well ahead of his time and still hugely influential now.The quality of his work is even more staggering given that he never trained at any art college, and spent most of his working life as an engineer. He only started painting full time at the age of 52. His obsession for drawing and painting, even while a successful engineer, was driven by his search for the essence of his subjects. The power of his paintings reveal that passion.This beautiful retrospective of his work, including drawings, watercolours, pastels and also acrylics, brings together the best of his work. The illuminating commentary on his work is from his daughter, Ann Blockley, who is also an acclaimed painter in her own right. She understands completely where John Blockley was coming from in his artistic vision and also explains the techniques he used. Breaking with so many traditions in watercolour painting in the 1960s, John was and is an influential figure in the art world.John said, In order to paint the terrain as I see it blotched, mottled, grainy I must experiment. These experimentations are still of huge value to painters today. This book is perfect for any painter who enjoys Johns work but also for all the many, many fans of his work.

Um livro de memórias divertido e surpreendente, com elenco espetacular, que traz um olhar renovado sobre o Maio de 68 na França. No início de 1968, o cineasta Jean-Luc Godard era um ícone da esquerda francesa. Lançado no ano anterior, seu filme A chinesa fora saudado como profetico: ao retratar um grupo de jovens maoistas disposto a fazer a revoluço, captava o espirito do tempo que eclodiria em maio de 1968, quando os estudantes tomaram as ruas de Paris. A atriz e escritora Anne Wiazemsky, autora do livro, foi a protagonista de A chinesa e estava casada com o cineasta naquele ano. O casal vivia no epicentro da confuso: Anne e Jean-Luc dividiam um apartamento no Quartier Latin, vizinho da Sorbonne, a universidade no foco dos primeiros conitos que mais tarde paralisariam o pais. Ao lado dos cineastas François Truaut e Jacques Rivette, do flosofo Gilles Deleuze, do lider estudantil Daniel Cohn-Bendit, em contato proximo com Bernardo Bertolucci e Pier Paolo Pasolini, com os Beatles e os Rolling Stones, a dupla Anne-Godard testemunha o mundo em ebuliço e procura se situar em meio as vertiginosas transformaçes.
