Book Review: Lachlan Goudie’s The Secrets of Painting

Book Review: My Heart is This: Tracey Emin on Painting by Martin Gayford
My Heart is This: Tracey Emin on Painting By Martin GayfordThames & Hudson256 pages The Body That Keeps Painting At one point in My Heart is This, Tracey Emin says something that quietly shifts how you read the rest of the book. “Painting saved my life,” she tells Martin Gayford.

Emin says it while describing the period after her cancer diagnosis in 2020, when the routines that structure an artist’s life — the studio, the work, the ordinary sense of time passing…
Tracey Emin, the Bed Trick and a Weekend of Reading

For a few days, she drifted through the cultural pages in that way certain artists do when a retrospective returns them suddenly to public attention. I was noticing it all from indoors. Earlier in the week, I had managed to sprain my left ankle badly enough that walking became almost impossible for a few days.…
Book Review – The Grind by Steve Madden
Book Review – The Grind by Steve Madden The photographs in The Grind were made over three winters during the evening rush hour on London buses. That is the project’s simple structure. After finishing his morning work at the BBC, Steve Madden would return to central London when the weather turned cold, wet or usually both. He wasn’t waiting for dramatic events or decisive moments. He was waiting for condensation — the kind that fogs bus windows so completely that the interior begins to dissolve into light and colour. Anyone who has travelled through London in winter knows that surface. London carries millions of bus journeys each day, yet these…
