Michael Patterson-Carver
Self-taught artist Michael Patterson-Carver's drawings are a candid and direct look at politics, satirising power-mongers, and celebrating ordinary men and women working for change through direct action and demonstrations. The latter are always smiling, filling the picture plane, topped by placards voicing their demands, hopes and desires. They smile because, according to the artist, they are quite sure of their success. This is the first monograph on the artist, edited and introduced by artist Harrell Fletcher and White Columns director Matthew Higgs. To be published in the autumn of 2010.
Other forthcoming titles include:
The Prisoner Of Zenda by Anthony Hope, illustrated by Mireille Fauchon. Mireille's book comes from our Open Submission programme where we invited artists to propose a project for our Four Corners Familiars series.
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray, illustrated by Donald Urquhart.
