Edgar Degas : drawings and pastels

Dans cet ouvrage, l'historien de l'art Christopher Lloyd se penche sur les dessins d'une vingtaine de grands artistes impressionnistes et post-impressionnistes mettant en lumière une production relativement peu explorée, mais fondatrice des mouvements artistiques du siècle suivant.

Impressionist & post-impressionist drawings

A timeless gardening classic by Christopher Lloyd, one of Britain's most highly respected plantsmen, updated for the 21st century. With a new foreword by Anna Pavord.
This is a classic work by a gardener who combines a passionate love of his subject with a critical intelligence and a good helping of wit. THE WELL-TEMPERED GARDEN is packed with the sort of information keen gardeners crave - from planting, weeding and the pleasures of propagation to annuals, water lilies and vegetables. Hailed as a masterpiece when it was first published, THE WELL-TEMPERED GARDEN is as fresh, enlightening and necessary for gardeners in the 21st century as it was when it first appeared more than 40 years ago.

The Well-Tempered Garden

Impressionist and post-impressionist drawings

Le dessin a toujours occupé une place centrale dans le travail de Cézanne pour trouver des solutions aux problèmes posés par la représentation de la réalité. Beaucoup de ses aquarelles sont comparables à ses peintures, et il n'a lui-même fait aucune distinction entre la peinture et le dessin. Les six chapitres de ce livre sont classés par thèmes et couvrent l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de Cézanne : des reproductions des maîtres anciens à sa période impressionniste, en passant pas l'étude de la figure humaine et le paysage.

'The best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times' GUARDIAN
'Christopher Lloyd ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in twentieth-century British gardening' THE TIMES
In this gardening classic the forever adventurous Christopher Lloyd takes us on a tour through the garden, to encourage, to reveal and to overturn the old and accepted when experience prompts him. He advises on cuttings, pruning, the art of compromise and takes another look at Miss Jekyll. Gardening was a passion, and throughout his life he developed Great Dixter to be one of Britain's greatest gardens. 
For Christo gardening is nothing if not fun and - pointing out that 'to be roused into an argumentative frame of mind is in itself no bad thing' - he makes it equally stimulating and enjoyable for his readers.
