Media Reviews
An eclectic selection of paintings is brought together from a wide range of genres on the basis of each one's attention to the issue of light. From the dappled impressionistic light of renoir to the heightened contrast of a Frank Hampson Dan Dare frame, each is examined on a facing page through a knowledgeable but unpatronising text. Books for Keeps A fine book that focuses attention on the interesting subject of light and how it is used to great effect by many artists. Accessible to a wide age range. Carousel
