This book brings the world in which the cuneiform was written to life for the non-expert reader, revealing how ancient inscriptions can lead to a new way of thinking about the past.

It marks an important stage in the development of Turner's practice as a draughtsman and was in use when he was only 21 years old. It is a working notebook in which the pressing demands of an increasingly fertile imagination are given expression as it forges a new language for itself: a language that was radically to affect the history of both water-colour and oil painting in the romantic period and long afterward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally marked with 'Copies of Wilson' on the cover, this charming little book is a testimony to the phase of studenthood in Turner's development, Richard Wilson being the supreme exponent of landscape painting in the eighteenth-century in Britain. For Turner, whose lifelong ambition was to show the world that landscape paintings could be a vehicle for the noblest and most ideas, Wilson was, as this book shows, his hero and chief model. This edition of the sketchbook reproduces all these beautiful drawings and watercolours in facsimile, with an illustrated introduction by Turner expert Andrew Wilton discussing their background and impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eAndrew Wilton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 176 pages | 130 illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e September 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 978-1849767194\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e12.6\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" data-mce-style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e x 10 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31810215510089,"sku":"9781849767194","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/tate-j-m-w-turner-the-wilson-sketchbook-14587237531721.jpg?v=1600702435"},{"product_id":"david-hockney-a-life","title":"David Hockney: A Life","description":"\u003ci\u003e'Reading David Hockne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003ey: A Life somehow mimics the experience of looking at a painting by the artist... vivid... compelling'\u003c\/em\u003e - The Economist \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn intimate, moving portrait of the most famous living English painter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in Bradford in 1937, David Hockney had to fight to become an artist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter leaving home for the Royal College of Art in London his career flourished, but he continued to struggle with a sense of not belonging, because of his homosexuality, which had yet to be decriminalised, and because of his inclination for a figurative style of art, which was not sufficiently \"contemporary\" to be valued.
