The first publication in English of the ultimate monograph on painter Léon Spilliaert. Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) was one of the most important Flemish Symbolist painters. Although he was embedded in the Symbolist tradition, he was also drawn to the avant-garde. He was, in fact, an einzelgänger, or loner, balancing on the fault line between two centuries, a transitional figure between Symbolism and Surrealism. Spilliaert, like James Ensor, was born and raised in Ostend. And like Ensor, he was also driven by ridicule and irony, non-conformism and the urge to look at the world from a different perspective. He created his own spiritual imagery, experimented with pastel and gouache, and played with purified areas of colour and graceful lines. The sea under a cool moon, lonely figures with a vacant gaze, desolate beaches, empty rooms and stylised silhouettes in backlight: Spilliaert was always able to evoke an atmosphere of mystery, magic and alienation in abstract lines and colours. This revised, English-language version of the ultimate Spilliaert book will be published to coincide with the major Spilliaert exhibition at the Royal Academy in London this autumn.

Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) was a daring and visionary artist who callenged the artistic conventions of his day. Born in Ostend, as a young man he wandered the night-time streets of the North Sea resort, creating mysterious and highly atmospheric evocations of its dark quays, beaches and promenades. These layered works, among his most radical, have profound psychological depth and ambiguity, traits also seen in a series of haunting self-portraits considered outstanding exemplars of the genre. This publication, accompanying the first monographic exhibition of Spilliaert's art in Britain, illustrates over a hundred works from international collections. The Belgian artist Luc Tuymans, who considers Spilliaert a key influence, introduces the book.

"A brilliant fantasy." -- Manchester Guardian. What would you do if you could re-live your life? In his only novel, occultist P. D. Ouspensky expands upon his concept of eternal recurrence, telling of a man who travels back in time and attempts to correct the mistakes of his schooldays and early manhood, including his romantic misadventures. Set in Moscow and Paris, the story served as an inspiration for the movie Groundhog Day.

- An incomparable new photo book about the international surf culture by Stephan Vanfleteren- Showcases captivating portraits of some of the world's surf iconsWith Surf Tribe, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows that there is far more to surf culture than just sport and competition. Surfing is also about a deep admiration and respect for the ocean, as well as the feeling of insignificance when confronted with the forces of nature. Surfers use the waves for fun, but also to forget and to battle, both with others and with themselves. Vanfleteren looks beyond the traditional borders of the United States and Australia and searches the globe for people who live in places where sea and land meet. He documents a fluid community, with nature as its sole leader. He has sought out young talent, living icons, and old legends, both competitive and free surfers. The photographs here are serene black and white portraits in Vanfleteren's well-known, haunting style; as always, he reaches below the surface and goes to the core of his subjects. Included, amongst many others, are Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John Florence, Mickey Munoz, Filipe Toledo and Stephanie Gilmore. Surfer, journalist, and actor Gerry Lopez has contributed the Foreword. Surf Tribe has been exhibited in Knokke-Heist (Belgium), Kunsthal Rotterdam (Netherlands), Gallery Kahmann Amsterdam (Netherlands). The next exhibition will be in June 2019 in France.

Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres are quietly extraordinary spaces, inspired by a belief in the healing powers of architecture. It was while suffering from advanced cancer that Maggie Keswick Jencks conceived the idea of a beautifully designed space offering support to those affected by the disease and, following her death in 1995, the first centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996. There are now 17 centres around the UK. In September 2011 Timothy Hyman was asked to be artist in residence at the Maggie's Centre at the Charing Cross Hospital in London, and this book records his drawings, paintings and reflections. AUTHOR: Timothy Hyman RA is a figurative painter, curator, lecturer and the author of many acclaimed publications.
