Published in association with a major survey of the work of the pioneering Belgian surrealist artistRené Magritte is renowned for his thought-provoking and enigmatic paintings that challenge perceptions of reality. His exploration of the subconscious and the juxtaposition of ordinary objects in surreal contexts have left an indelible mark on the art world, influencing generations of artists and thinkers. Magritte provides an engaging, accessible, and in-depth survey of the artist's practice, giving insights into the evolution of his art. It features reproductions of more than one hundred artworks drawn from public and private collections alongside rarely seen archival materials, commercial work, and photography. The images are accompanied by four essays and a transcript of an interview originally recorded for Belgian television in 1965, which together offer nuanced perspectives on the aesthetic foundations of Magritte's work while also considering the social and artistic context for his practice. An essay by curator Nicholas Chambers leads us through the arc of the exhibition, revealing the artist's extraordinary capacity for innovation and reinvention. Other essays focus on the artist's milieux during the formative 1920s, the reception and promotion of his art outside of Europe, and his remarkable use of humor. An extensive, illustrated chronology charts the artist's life and career.

Imagine a world in which clothing wasn't superabundant - cheap, disposable, indestructible - but perishable, threadbare and chronically scarce. Eighty years ago, when World War II ended, a textile famine loomed. What would everyone wear as uniforms were discarded and soldiers returned home, Nazi camps were liberated, and millions of uprooted people struggled to subsist? In this richly textured history, Carruthers unpicks a familiar wartime motto, 'Make Do and Mend', to reveal how central fabric was to postwar Britain. Clothes and footwear supplied a currency with which some were rewarded, while others went without. Making Do moves from Britain's demob centres to liberated Belsen - from razed German cities to refugee camps and troopships - to uncover intimate ties between Britons and others bound together in new patterns of mutual need. Filled with original research and personal stories, Making Do illuminates how lives were refashioned after the most devastating war in human history.

F.J.L. Ghijsels; A Quiet Collector is the fascinating story of the evolution of an important collection of Indonesian art between 1910-1929. One of the most renowned colonial architects in the first half of the 20th century, the discovery that Ghijsels was also an avid collector comes as a surprise. Born in Java in the 19th century and educated in Holland, Ghijsels was a member of a new generation that in contrast to his predecessors greatly prized the artistic heritage of the land of his birth. A dedicated modernist, he was a member of a small but highly influential group of architects and city planners including Wolff Schoemakker, Henri Maclaine Pont and the fiery Thomas Kersten all of whom were graduates or affiliated with Delft University of Technology. Together with the architects P.A.J. Moojen and Cosmos Citroen, they would build many of the most iconic buildings, now heritage sites, in Indonesia that still influence young Indonesian architects. In addition they would, together prominent scholars, government leaders and art lovers, many who were also collectors, support cultural conferences, institutions and museums. Mostly held in Yogyakarta, these forums offered a unique opportunity for Indonesian intellectuals including many Javanese aristocrats to interact and work together despite this being frowned upon in official circles. After a long and successful career, Ghijsels would return to Europe to reunite with his family. Unfortunately the outbreak of World War Two would bring dramatic change and an early death. Until recently, like all the Dutch colonial architects, his legacy was largely ignored or forgotten in Holland. Richly illustrated with his architectural work and eclectic collection of often rare objects and art pieces, this book is a testament to a long lost era and the enduring beauty of Indonesian arts and crafts.
