This beautifully illustrated book in the National Gallery’s new One Painting, One Story series explores the making and meaning of Vigée Le Brun’s Self Portrait in a Straw Hat  The 1782 work Self Portrait in a Straw Hat by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842) is one of the National Gallery’s most captivating paintings. Looking at us directly and holding the tools of her profession, the painter presents herself as an elegant society lady as well as an accomplished professional artist. The pose was modelled on Rubens’s Portrait of Susanna Lunden (?), with whom Vigée Le Brun was making an explicit connection. Vigée Le Brun’s life spanned a tumultuous period of French history. Lucy Davies examines the artist’s rise to become one of the most successful society portraitists of her age, patronised by Queen Marie-Antoinette. After fleeing the French Revolution in 1789, Vigée Le Brun travelled around Europe and Russia, eventually returning to a transformed Paris. Published by National Gallery Global Ltd/Distributed by Yale University Press

What's so great about a Hogarth? Why should we care about a shark in a tank? What does it matter that they are both British artworks? This short but very opinionated guide takes you on a whirlwind tour of 65 iconic artworks, and explains in no uncertain terms why they matter and why British Art is amongst the most exciting in the world. Lucy Davies shares the stories and meaning behind these wonderful works of art with wit and wisdom. This book features faithful colour reproductions in an elegant hardback. The first book in a new series of Opinionated Guides on art movements, mediums and ideas which builds on the success of Hoxton Mini Press Opinionated Guides to London.

From artists at the forefront of the Dutch Golden Age to avant-garde radicals in Soviet Russia and surrealist thinkers in exile, this book gathers together 65 painters from throughout history and across the world. Sometimes ignored - but always iconic - this highly opinionated guide will tell you everything you need to know, and nothing that you don't, about the women behind the canvas (and quite a bit about what's on the canvas too). Witty opinion is set alongside faithful colour reproductions in an elegant hardback that will persuade anyone that these painters are worth knowing about. The first book in a new series of Opinionated Guides on art movements, mediums and ideas which builds on the success of Hoxton Mini Press Opinionated Guides to London.
