Maggi Hambling has over time responded to the sound of song in her work, consistently capturing it in gold against a black ground - to date her diverse subjects have included the singers Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, P J Harvey and Will Young. More recently, and following a night spent in the Sussex wilderness in the company of folk singer Sam Lee listening to the song of the Nightingale, the artist embarked on a new series of paintings, capturing the song of this small migratory songbird. James Cahill’s text places Hambling’s striking new nightingale series in context and considers the long history of the Nightingale which has been celebrated by writers, poets, artists and musicians for thousands of years.

The collection of essays and reviews published between 1990 and 2020 celebrates the life work of Britain's pre-eminent artist David Hockney (born Bradford 1937).

Renowned author, poet and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith considers the artist's presentation of 'Eighty Two portraits and One Still Life', exhibited at the Royal Academ in 2016, while Cv editor Nicholas James reviews 'Drawn From Life', a survey Hockney drawings exhibited at at the National Portrait Gallery London 2020.

This is the most comprehensive English-language compilation available on Chinese painters and their works from the late 6th through the mid-14th century. Incorporating the work of Ellen Johnston Laing and Osvald Siren, whom Professor Cahill studied under as a graduate student, the work includes biographical details of the artists, their "style" and "studio" names, where their works are located or have been published, and information on materials, signatures, seals, and inscriptions. An extensive bibliography focuses on reproductions of the works in Chinese, Japanese, and Western publications, making the Index an essential research tool for all students, scholars, collectors, and connoisseurs of Chinese painting.

Poetic paintings--works done in response to lyric poems or as pictorial equivalents to them--compose a major category of East Asian art. In this beautifully illustrated book James Cahill, looks at three exemplary traditions in this genre.
