Andrew Graham-Dixon's weekly column 'In The Picture' in the 'Sunday Telegraph' is one of the most regularly and widely read pieces of art criticism in Britain. This book takes 52 of the best of these articles, arranged through the seasons, festivals and anniversaries of the calendar, to provide a delightful unfolding pictorial commentary on the year.
Some of the pictures here are well known - 'Fourteen Sunflowers In A Vase' by Vincent Van Gogh, 'Flag' by Jasper Johns; Graham-Dixon helps us to see them freshly. But many are not - 'Fish And Sandwich' by Patrick Caulfield, 'The Beach At Trouville', 'The Empress Eugenie' by Eugene Boudin and 'Atom Piece' by Henry Moore. The essays about them here give us a brilliant short introduction to each.
Like the very best writers about art, Andrew Graham-Dixon shows us how to look. 'In The Picture' is the perfect Christmas gift for every art-lover, and anyone who admires first-rate writing about it.
