The six sequential essays in this collection provide a narrative of a century and a half of Welsh painting, written with an emphasis on issues of social class and national identity. Through his earlier writing, Peter Lord has contributed to the establishment of an historical tradition of Welsh painting, but because it does not feature in the wider story of Western art history as presently told, the work revealed continues to be perceived as marginal, existing in isolation from ideas and movements in other countries. These essays break new ground by discussing the concerns of Welsh painters not only in domestic terms but also in the context of the ways in which artists in other parts of Europe and in the United States reacted to the common underlying causes of those concerns. The author challenges the idea that the work of Welsh painters is relevant only to the evolution of their own communities and, through confident and detailed analysis, validates their pictures also in terms of the arts of other Western cultures.

Ricardo Basbaum es uno de los artistas brasileños más vitales y relevantes del último medio siglo. "Navegando entre las precarias condiciones de vida de quienes trabajan en el mundo del arte y los precios exorbitantes que alcanzan algunas obras, este libro asume la ardua tarea de buscar algunas definiciones e historizar procesos que tienen en muchos casos su origen en Brasil, pero que pueden facilmente ser extendidos a todas las latitudes del planeta. En las paginas de este manual se encuentran reflexiones, colaboraciones y reelaboraciones que apuntan a develar algunos de los hechos fundamentales que constituyen la subjetividad artistica del siglo XXI. Sin desviarse nunca de una busqueda por lo colectivo y lo creativo, el texto se deja llevar tambien por anecdotas y nombres propios que fortalecen su sentido. Ante la necesidad de ser ¿etc, aqui se delinean las diversas y enredadas capas que hacen al oficio artistico contemporaneo.Las ideas de Ricardo Basbaum estan permeadas por (y han calado en) toda una generacion. Sus trabajos han sido expuestos en todo el mundo y, a traves de sus escritos, es posible (hoy tambien, finalmente, en castellano) comprender mejor las gestiones e indagaciones que los atraviesan. La lectura de estas paginas es, sin lugar a dudas, una tarea fundamental para quienes quieran debatir los dislocamientos y desplazamientos de las instituciones, personas, espacios y materiales que hoy constituyen ese vaporoso edificio conocido como las artes visuales" (Hernan Borisonik).

Desde niño, Álvaro Delgado Vélez acompañaba a su padre, Manuel Delgado Hernández, a seguir de cerca los aconteceres de la sociedad cartagenera con una "máquina de retratar" en su manos.Pero, fiel a la tradicion de la familia, Manolo habia aprendido a su vez el oficio de su padre, Luis Esteban Delgado, y este a su vez de su padre, Luis A. Delgado Frette. De modo que la vocacion de fotografos de tatarabuelo, bisabuelo, abuelo, padre e hijo no podia menos que inculcar en Alvaro Delgado De los Rios, nieto de la estirpe, una profesion que evidentemente se ha transmitido de generacion en generacion y que ha traido ocupada a una familia entera que hoy, en virtud de una actividad ejercida sin pausa, con esmero y dedicacion, ha sido fiel testigo no solamente de la vida social de Cartagena de Indias sino de su ostensible belleza, su apasionante historia y desde luego del desarrollo y avatares de una vida que todos los Delgado han visto transcurrir y que han dejado impresa en sus fotografias para la posteridad.
