It seems appropriate, as summer gives way to autumn, that our October issue turns to themes of earth and wood; whether it’s the generousness of Jean-Nicolas Gérard’s earthenware pottery, Anthony Gross’ paintings of living landscapes, or the earthiness of Frank Dobson’s nude sculptures. Our feature on the Goldmark Atelier’s latest venture offers a fascinating insight into the woodblocks of John Nash, while wood – in various guises – marks just one of the elemental refrains of the work of Joe Tilson. Enjoy these and more in our latest autumnal offering.
