Life and Death in Picasso

release date: Jan 01, 2009
Life and Death in Picasso
In this groundbreaking new study of the leading artist of the twentieth century, Christopher Green explores Picasso''s fascination with ideas about the living and the dead. He shows how Picasso oscillated between the animate and the inanimate, creating objects that ''live'' and figures that are ''dead'' as objects. Covering the period from the creation of the Demoiselles d''Avignon in 1907 to the artist''s association with the Surrealists in the 1930s, the book offers a journey through Picasso''s imagination and reveals - by way of Freud, André Breton and Guillaume Apollinaire, among theirs - the ideas and reflections associated with life and death in his work. Published in association with the Museu Picasso in Barcelona, the book also includes an essay on Picasso''s biomorphic motifs by the leading Spanish critic J.F. Yvars.

In 1997, controversial TV star Paula Yates discovered that her true father was not, as she had believed, disgraced television personality Jess Yates, but the man who had destroyed his career--Hughie Green. Devastated, she approached Green''s son, Christopher, in an effort to unravel the mystery behind her two ''fathers''. Hughie Green was a huge showbiz figure and probably the first star of British TV. His show, Opportunity Knocks, launched the career of Les Dawson and many others. Christopher Green''s investigation, which forms the heart of this extraordinary book, uncovered many of the dark and deeply buried secrets that Paula Yates, tragically, never lived to hear.

Beyond Toddlerdom

release date: Aug 31, 2011
Beyond Toddlerdom
First there was the Toddler Taming phenomenon - now this is the sequel every parent has been waiting for... Dr Christopher Green has written Beyond Toddlerdom for all those parents in need of calm and wise advice on parenting the 5-12 year age group. The 5-12s have to face a number of developmental hurdles. They become aware of the world outside the home. They will start school, make friends, take up hobbies and develop personal interests. They may move house, may live through a parental divorce, and will develop personality patterns that will stay with them for life. It is an important time. Writing with his usual humourous, practical and down-to earth style, Chris Green draws on his many years of expertise as a paediatrician, father and grandfather to enable parents to understand their child''s needs and development during their pre-teen years. He takes full account of all the physical, psychological and sociological influences that are of importance during this time - and helps parents to make appropriate decisions about everything from friends to homework, sibling rivalry to positive discipline. Beyond Toddlerdom is the ideal companion to Chris Green''s Toddler Taming ''bible'' and is a must for every parent.

John Golding

release date: Jan 01, 2017
John Golding
John Golding (1929-2012) was a British artist, scholar and curator.Perhaps best known for his seminal book, Cubism: A history and an Analysis 1907-1914 (1959) he actually considered himself primarily a painter and exhibited extensively both in the UK and internationally during a career that spanned almost six decades. In retrospect, his reputation as a notable art historian somewhat, arguably, overshadowed his own practice as an artist. So, this new monograph endeavours to reveal and celebrate the other side of his oeuvre.''Golding''s knowledge of Renaissance painting, especially the great Venetians [...] informed his own work as he moved out of figuration and into abstract canvases in which light was the subject. He painted vertical streaks of colour down his canvases like pleated light (as he put it) and occasionally on, say, a misty blue, he would scatter clusters of gold pigment to reflect the actual light. After the end of the 20th century, he started to structure his paintings so that they appeared to be based on photographs from thousands of feet above the Earth, with ''roads'' and ''bridges'' and ''canals''...'' - Michael McNay, 2012 (The Guardian)Golding''s work was additionally shown alongside Bridget Riley, John Hoyland, Frank Auerbach, Peter Blake and David Hockney in important group exhibitions in London such as, British Painting 74'' at Hayward Gallery and, British Painting 1952-77 at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Une moderne Antiquité

release date: Jan 01, 2012
Une moderne Antiquité
Une analyse de l’influence de l’art antique dans le développement de l’art moderne européen, en particulier dans l’œuvre de De Chirico, Picabia, Léger et Picasso. Les différentes manières dont ces artistes de la modernité ont réinventé l’antiquité à leurs propres fins, surtout à l’époque du « retour à l’ordre », au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette étude met en lumière aussi en quoi ce phénomène s’inscrit dans le contexte de l’élargissement considérable de la connaissance de l’art antique entre les années 1870 et les années 1930, tournant qui voit la conception de l’Antiquité se détacher définitivement de l’idéalisme néo-classique issu des idées de Winckelmann. L’intérêt se porte alors autant sur les époques archaïques que sur les âges d’or de Périclès ou Auguste. Et c’est moins la statuaire classique que la stylisation sommaire des silhouettes sur les vases de céramiques qui retient Picasso. Autre évolution du regard porté sur l’Antiquité, ainsi que le rappellent une partie des essais : la relecture freudienne des mythes grecs et romains à partir du début du XXe siècle, où spécialistes et artistes surréalistes voient la manifestations des désirs et des peurs ancrées au plus profond de l’être humain.
