Book Review: Lachlan Goudie’s The Secrets of Painting
The Secrets of Painting The Hidden Art of the Masterpiece from Prehistory to Today By Lachlan Goudie Publication: 2 April 2026 384pp, 220 illustrations, 24.6 x 18.6 cm, £38.00 hardback This is a serious pleasure to read. The Secrets of Painting by Lachlan Goudie doesn’t make things difficult, and it doesn’t dilute what it knows. It holds a line between the two, and that’s precisely why it works. From the outset, it draws you in without forcing anything. You keep reading, and more importantly, you keep looking. Lachlan Goudie writes with a clarity that is harder to achieve than complexity. There’s no sense of knowledge being withheld, nor any attempt…

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. It is the kind of sentence that might sound theatrical if it appeared on its own. But within the rhythm of their conversation, it doesn’t land that way. 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
Tracey Emin, the Bed Trick and a Weekend of Reading Last weekend, Tracey Emin seemed to be everywhere. Her new exhibition ‘Tracey Emin – A Second Life’ at Tate Modern had just opened, and her name kept appearing in the newspapers — in reviews, interviews and photographs of paintings newly hung on the museum’s walls. 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…
Photo Book Review – The Afterimage of Looking: On Lee Miller, Witness, and the Persistence of Vision
Photo Book Review – The Afterimage of Looking: On Lee Miller, Witness, and the Persistence of Vision When I first opened the book, Lee Miller, the temperature of the room seemed to shift — as if the light had turned to face her. Lee Miller was a name I thought I understood. Vogue model turned Surrealist collaborator, Man Ray’s lover in Paris, the war correspondent who walked through Europe’s ruins with a camera and a stare that could steady smoke. But this volume—edited by Hilary Floe and Saskia Flower, published by Tate Publishing in the UK and by Yale University Press in the United States—refuses the comfort of summary. It has…
Book Review – Death and Other Belongings by Will Green
Book Review – Death and Other Belongings by Will Green Will Green’s Death and Other Belongings refuses to instruct the viewer on what grief looks like. Instead, it pulls the viewer into its atmosphere. The black-and-white photographs stay expansive yet restrained, devoid of the drama that typically accompanies grief. Green turns his camera toward what stays behind. He focuses on a chair in the garden, the fabric still creased by the weight of a body; a bee lies in the dust; apples sink into the soil. Each photograph insists that the world continues to act in its ordinary way. Green meets that continuation with steadiness and records it without ceremony. Before…
