  Henry Spencer Moore (1898-1986) was one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century. This catalogue considers Moore's celebrated Shelter drawings as the point of departure for a new reading of the artist's fascination with images of walls, during and immediately after World War II. It accompanies a focused exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery. After the destruction of his London studio early in World War II, Henry Moore began drawing figures sheltering from bomb raids in the London Underground. This catalogue and exhibition consider Moore's celebrated series as the point of departure for a new reading of the artist's fascination with images of walls, during and immediately after World War II. In the London Underground, where Moore drew these figures, the walls of these sheltered spaces came to absorb his attention in an altogether new way, becoming scene-setters, and key components of his drawings. This fascination with the bricks and the presence of walls, their texture, mass and volume, became especially important after his project to illustrate the wartime radio play The Rescue, based on Homer's Odyssey. Henry Moore: Shadows on the Wall, a collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, suggests for the first time that the walls in his drawings offer a new way to understand some of his most individual and monumental Post-War sculpture projects.

   This catalogue accompanies the first exhibition dedicated to Antoine Caron's graphic work and explores the role the Queen Mother Regent Catherine de' Medici played in a key series of drawings, some reunited here for the first time.
  This catalogue accompanies an exhibition to be held at The Courtauld Gallery, which will be the first dedicated to the graphic oeuvre of Antoine Caron (1521-1599). Bringing together a core group of drawings centred around the figures and deeds of the French Royal family, the Valois, this display will highlight the role played by the Regent Catherine de' Medici (1519-1589). Featuring the Valois series, a set of drawings here reunited for the first time, the display will showcase the way in which the powerful and influential Catherine promoted the success of her regency and future of her progeny by delivering a series of lavish courtly events that were meant to enhance the power and diplomacy of her family.
  The drawings in this display represent jousts, tournaments, festivals and a naval battle, events that occurred at the French court during the reigns of Catherine's sons Charles IX and Henri III. Preparatory designs for a group of tapestries, these visual documents relate to actual events that were organised by the court at the French castles of Anet, Fontainebleau, Bayonne and the Tuileries Gardens.
  Minutely designed, they will thus allow to reconstruct the visual testimony of those events, as they were documented in written contemporary sources.
