The 30 artworks from London’s Tate Gallery analysed in Paint and Purpose: A
Study of Technique in British Art may indeed have been painted with purpose, but
the book’s intent is less clear. Novices will be challenged, but there is no
ease of reference for professionals. Still, beautifully illustrated, and an
intimate introduction to some famous paintings from a great collection. Edited
by Stephen Hackney, Rica Jones and Joyce Townsend, Tate Gallery Publishing,
£19.99, ISBN 1854372483.
