Artists in Newlyn and West Cornwall 1880-1940:
Dictionary and source-book
Edited by Dr Melissa Hardie
Drawing on the West Cornwall Art Archive and many other sources, this is the most comprehensive survey ever compiled of many hundreds of painters, draughtsmen and women, sculptors and potters working in the peninsula.
The supporting information includes exhibitions, collections in which the work may be viewed today and extensive bibliographies.
This is supplemented by essays and a rich variety of source material from the Newlyn and Lamorna colonies, St Ives and Falmouth. There are essays on photography as art, the artists’ schools and classes, with full lists of those artists who attended the Forbes’s school, and the Arts and Crafts movement in West Cornwall, including the Newlyn copper industry.
90 colour and 170 black & white illustrations.

The Dictionary of Artists in Wales since 1945
Isabel Hitchman and Dr Peter W. Jones
The first illustrated survey of the careers of visual artists and and applied artists in Wales since 1945. It will fill a major information gap, as there is currently no up-to-date, detailed, compendious reference work about modern and contemporary art in Wales.
Approximately 1,500 entries will give brief career details of the artists working in traditional and new media; 100-250 word entries will briefly characterise the work. A substantial essay will give an overview of the period, and cover related visual disciplines (e.g. graphic design).
There will be approximately 200 full-colour illustrations, chosen to illustrate the range of work made over the period.
The dictionary is supported by the Arts Council of Wales, the Welsh Books Council, the Derek Williams Trust, and the contemporary Art Society for Wales.
