In 1908 London Underground began a comprehensive publicity programme that became one of the most successful, adventurous, & best-sustained promotional operations ever attempted. The posters commissioned not only encouraged travel on the capital`s burgeoning public transport system; they also helped to foster a civic identity for metropolitan London. The four national rail lines created in 1923, inspired by this example, created their own campaigns. This richly illustrated volume celebrates the designs, highlighting works that are among the triumphs of twentieth-century poster art. Designed to accompany an exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art, ” Art for All” features more than one hundred works executed for the Underground & the railways. The exhibition & catalogue will explore the evolution of transport posters in twentieth-century Britain. It will feature the career of E. Mc Knight Kauffer, perhaps the greatest of these poster artists; the role of women designers; the printing techniques that brought the designs to life; &, the strategies of display developed by the transport systems. Both a visual delight & a work of scholarship, ” Art for All” pays tribute to these extraordinary exploits in public design. Exhibition: Yale Center for British Art, 27 May
- 15 August 2010.

This is a `new` Tove Jansson, published for the first time in English. Tales of obsession & ambition are revealed & sparkle `like buried treasure`. An elderly caretaker at a large outdoor exhibition, called Art in Nature, finds that a couple have lingered on to bicker about the value of a picture; he has a surprising suggestion that will resolve both their row & his own ambivalence about the art market. A draughtsman`s obsession with drawing locomotives provides a dark twist to a love story. A cartoonist takes over the work of a colleague who has suffered a nervous breakdown only to discover that his own sanity is in danger. In these witty, sharp, often disquieting stories, Tove Jansson reveals the fault-lines in our relationship with art, both as artists & as consumers.
