Other titles in the Series* On Dolls edited by Kenneth Gross The essays in this collection explore the seriousness of play and the mysteries of inanimate life – the ‘unknown spaces, dust, lost objects, and small animals that fill any house’. On Dolls includes contributions from Baudelaire, Rilke, Freud, Elizabeth Bishop and Marina Warner. Still Life with a Bridle by Zbigniew Herbert A gathering of artful essays by one of Poland’s most translated writers. Poet and essayist Zbigniew Herbert takes an intriguing look at the cultural, artistic and aesthetic legacy of 17th-century Holland. ‘Herbert is one of the finest and most original writers in Europe.’ – The New Yorker Triptych: Three Studies after Francis Bacon by Jonathan Litell Francis Bacon was one of the iconic figures of modern art, who transformed the way we see and experience the human body. Mirroring Bacon’s famous triptychs, Littell’s three essays engage with the artist’s contorted figures, his screaming popes and apes, his flanks of beef and his umbrellas. Illustrated with 25 colour images.
