Books by Julian Bell

A new, significantly revised edition of Julian Bell's 1999 book, taking a fresh, focused look at the situation of painting in contemporary culture.

This is the first book to survey the work of painter and printmaker Tom Hammick (b.1963). It sets Hammick's art within the context of contemporary debates about painting while relating it to the two-centuries-old Romantic tradition. Julian Bell explores in depth the artist's techniques, imagery and career to date.
