 | O'Keeffe and Texas
Beginningwith the Texas years , 1912 to 1918 Udall divides the work ito thematic sections that reflect the five primary formal themes O'KEEFFE developed during that period: landforms, solids and voids, light, geometric patterns and line as formal element. She then proceeds to show the continuity of O'KEEFFE's vision over the next half century. These works are surprisingly different from the flowers and animal bones traditionally associated with her work, offering many powerful and unexpected images.

 | Diane Itter: A Retrospective
The American Craft Museum, as the country's leading art museum focusing on craft, periodically identifies the most significant artists working in craft media to be the subject of major retrospectives. Shortly after her death DIANE ITTER (1946 0 1989) was recognised by the museum as an artist worthy of that attention. ITTER worked only in fibre limiting her scale to the miniature, her material to fine linen threads and her process to knotting. Yet she produced a body of work that is extraordinary in its wide range of forms and potent use of colour.

 | Bacon
FRANCIS BACON arguably the pre-eminent British painter of the twentieth century, was also for forty years the most controversial. Bacon's art often appears deliberately disturbing. His subject was the human form. Bacon showed the physical construction of the body with a new and unsettling intensity. To him it was something to be taken apart by the artist's gaze and then put back together again on canvas. He forces us to see, perhaps for the first time the separate shapes and stresses hidden in the familiar human figure.
This book reproduces in full colour 68 of Bacon's most important paintings, including several of his well known triptychs. Completing the volume are documentary photos of Bacon's studio, his associates and models as well works by other artists that affected Bacon's paintings.

 | Pollock
In POLLOCK we find depth, but a depth that is exclusively pictorial. Withdrawal from the laws of contrast leads to a pictorial revolution - colours are no longer "formal" but "anti-formal". The object of desire has vanished in favour of the desire to paint, expressed in all its purity.

 | Making Art Work
In the 15th century the ideas of the great Renaissance artists required the attentions of engineers and artisans to construct and explain the dynamics of their ambitious works. Today that endeavour and enquiry is represented by Mike Smith, whose studio in the Old Kent Road in London furnishes the architecture for the most pressing installations and sculptures of young British artists.
He is the carborundum that enables the best artists working in Britain today to realize their work - Rachel Whiteread's monument in Trafalgar Square is a testament to his work.
