The Symbols of Art

Frances Lincoln

9781805700357

May 7, 2026

£22 00 • Hardcover • 272 Pages

Why is there a lily in that religious picture? Why is there a bubble in that still-life? Great works of arts from all periods often have details or objects that carry symbolic meanings.

Sometimes those symbols would have been obvious to contemporary viewers but now need explaining to a modern audience who are less familiar with, say, Christian iconography or Classical myths In other cases, the symbolism is deliberately obscure, designed to add a hidden layer of meaning to the work, to make the viewer discover its true meaning. And it's not just works from earlier history where symbolism is used: trains crop up in the background of many Impressionist paintings as a way of referencing the modern world Other artists have their own private symbols, like Josef Beuys whose regular use of felt and animal fat was a link to the experiences of his earlier life

This book includes hundreds of symbols from across different periods and styles of art history Each one is illustrated with at least one example, and a number of paintings are fully ‘dissected’ to show the range of different symbols in each one Organized by type of symbol and with extensive indexing, the book is an invaluable, easy-to-use guide to help readers get the most out of works of art

The Tattooed Hills

Journeys to Chalk Figures

Aurum

9781805700265

April 23, 2026

£17 99 • Hardcover • 256 Pages

Across Britain, and especially in the southern chalklands, is a series of figures cut into the hills, exposing the chalk beneath. These hill-figures are strange, mysterious, and sometimes controversial. They are of varying and often contested age, and vague purpose. They are horses, giants, crosses, a lion, a lost panda, crowns, a kiwi, regimental badges They are often sited near ancient trackways, iron age earthworks or dissolved monasteries, and or close to stone circles.

Humans have long decorated their landscapes, but chalk hill figures are, almost uniquely, a feature of the English downland This means they are sometimes seen as emblematic of Englishness, celebrated by poets, writers, artists and musicians. The book is a portrait of the places where these figures dominate The Tattooed Hills isn’t a nostalgic elegy for England, instead it uses the figures as a lens through which to explore the land and delves into more troubling undercurrents – the way that chalk hill figures have sometimes been appropriated, in an attempt to pin down a narrow definition of Englishness and belonging

Chalk carvings are signals for our identity and identities, and that their long history, the way they have inspired artists, musicians and writers, and the communities that live in their shadows, offer an alternative way of thinking about ourselves They are beacons on the hills, they speak to us and of us, no matter where we live or where we’re from

Jon Woolcott is a writer and publisher from Dorset His writing has appeared in The Bookseller, Caught by The River, Slightly Foxed, Echtrai Journal, for the Venice Biennale, and he writes regular travel articles for The Guardian He’s also the editor of Going to Ground (Little Toller, 2024), an anthology of writing about place and nature, described by Nicola Chester as ‘a glorious, glittering anthology ’

'A fascinating and highly readable account of how the Foreign Office helped turn wartime victory into postwar peace, full of vivid quotes from the men and women who served their country in little-known ways.'

Prof. David Reynolds, Cambridge University

'Peter Ricketts has filled an important gap in our history and demonstrated that many of the men and women of the foreign office made outstanding contributions to their country’s survival in the Second World War.'

Peace Makers uncovers the hidden world of British diplomacy during the Second World War. Far from the quiet corridors of Whitehall, it was a stage for patriots and public servants, but also for charmers, chancers, and adventurers. Drawing on fresh research, discover the extraordinary stories of the diplomats who shaped the war and the world that followed.

More than a chronicle of strategy and statecraft, this is a deeply human story Under the pressures of war, the Foreign Office began to change Prejudices crumbled, especially around the role of women, and the wartime service paved the way for the more open, representative diplomacy of the post-war years These accounts of persuasion, influence, and resilience remain as relevant today as they were in the 1940s

Peter Ricketts spent 40 years at the heart of British foreign policy, most notably as Permanent Under Secretary at the FCO from 2006–10, the UK’s first National Security Adviser 2010–12 and Ambassador to France 2012–16. In all these roles, he was a close adviser to Prime Ministers and Foreign Secretaries He is currently Chairman of the European Affairs Committee of the House of Lords and is a regular commentator on foreign affairs on Sky News, the BBC, LBC and Times Radio
