Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775 - 1851) est incontestablement le plus grand représentant de l'âge d'or de l'aquarelle anglaise. Comme nul autre avant lui, il exploita les effets de lumière et de transparence sur les champs anglais ou les lagunes vénitiennes. Célébré par ses contemporains, il continue aujourd'hui à émouvoir de nombreux admirateurs. Ce catalogue révèle le rôle qu'ont joué les aquarelles dans la vie et l'art de Turner, des ouvres de jeunesse qu'il envoya à la Royal Academy aux fascinantes expérimentations lumineuses et colorées de sa maturité. Pour un public moderne, ces dernières comptent parmi ses ouvres les plus radicales et accomplies. Ce catalogue d'exposition exceptionnel, présentera une soixantaine d'aquarelles et près de dix huiles sur toile.

Reflections: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa' brings together an extraordinary collection of work from the British Museum for the first time. The contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa is rich and vibrant. Whether living in their countries of birth or in diaspora, the featured artists are part of the globalised world of art. Here we see artists responding to and making work about their present, histories, traditions and cultures, reflecting on a part of the world that has experienced extraordinary change in living memory.00The British Museum has been acquiring the work of Middle Eastern and North African artists since the 1980s, and the collection ? principally works on paper ? is one of the most extensive in the public sphere. Collected within the context of a museum of history, the works offer insights into the nature of civil societies, the complex politics of the region, and cultural traditions in their broadest sense, from the relationship with Islamic art, to the deep engagement with literature.00The introduction to the book by curator Venetia Porter explores the history of the collection and the works included. The essential framework for understanding the politics and context within which the artists are working is provided by Charles Tripp?s essay. The works are grouped into seven chapters, each beginning with a short introduction. The authors explore the selection within themes such as faith, abstraction and the female gaze

The first history of London to show how immigrants have built, shaped and made a great success of the capital cityLondon is now a global financial and multicultural hub in which over three hundred languages are spoken. But the history of London has always been a history of immigration.Panikos Panayi explores the rich and vibrant story of London– from its founding two millennia ago by Roman invaders, to Jewish and German immigrants in the Victorian period, to the Windrush generation invited from Caribbean countries in the twentieth century. Panayi shows how migration has been fundamental to London’s economic, social, political and cultural development.Migrant City sheds light on the various ways in which newcomers have shaped London life, acting as cheap labour, contributing to the success of its financial sector, its curry houses, and its football clubs. London’s economy has long been driven by migrants, from earlier continental financiers and more recent European Union citizens. Without immigration, fueled by globalization, Panayi argues, London would not have become the world city it is today.
