From the patient Penelope to the invincible Wonder Woman; from the cruel Medea to the pious Geneviève; from the warrior Mulan to the lover Juliet; from activist Rosa Parks to the symbol of Lady Liberty: who are these women who inhabit the imagination of artists? Heroines in Art explores the women who populate artists’ imaginations and our shared visual memory. Tracing the evolution of female heroism from myth to modernity, thirty-seven works reveal how painters, sculptors, illustrators, and performers have negotiated the tension between celebrating female strength and containing its threat. Throughout, you’ll explore the works of Peter Paul Rubens, Utagawa Hiroshige, Nam June Paik, Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, Faith Ringgold, and more—alongside icons such as Cleopatra, Baba Yaga, Joan of Arc, Shéhérazade, and Joséphine Baker.

'The Cultural Tutor is dedicated to a cosmopolitan view of culture. It writes about every continent, every religion, every tradition of art and poetry' TOMIWA OWOLADE, THE TIMES 'For anyone who has enjoyed The Cultural Tutor on X, this book will be more of the same delight. Expect nuggets of insight and wisdom, wrapped in the author's trademark warmth and wit' ALAIN DE BOTTON 'A remarkable book. The Cultural Tutor is a witty, wide-ranging, and engaging exploration of humanity's shared heritage, from ancient history to modern art.' DONALD ROBERTSON Who does the Mona Lisa actually depict? Why do we still look to the Greeks and Romans to inform our politics? Where do we find meaning in a world dominated by technology? * Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it. In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. It wasn't the sort of content you usually find on a newsfeed - and yet it has flourished, gaining over 1.7 million followers. Taught in forty-nine short lessons - from Babylon to Brutalism, Ronaldo to Ragnar k - Sheehan takes readers on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture. He explores provocative questions (is mythology any different to science?) and uncovers illuminating stories (did you know that the highest paid athlete in history was a Roman charioteer?). This is a witty and thought-provoking exploration of everything you need to know to begin your own adventures in the world of culture and see the everyday wonders around you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917922111568,"sku":"9781405975520","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781405975520_1.jpg?v=1789030872"},{"product_id":"towards-light","title":"Towards Light","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eTadao Ando is one of the most celebrated architects of our time. Winner of the Pritzker Prize and numerous other international awards, his bold, concrete buildings and their interplay with light, shadow, and nature have become emblematic symbols of the modern world, blending modernist design with Eastern spirituality from his native Japan. Now, at eighty-five, Ando looks back on a lifetime of making. Born in a working-class family living amongst the ruins of postwar Osaka, he could not afford a university education. After a brief stint as a professional boxer, he taught himself architecture at night from books, founded a practice in a cheap rented room, and, after years of uncertainty, persistence, and belief, eventually saw his 'concrete poetry' built around the world. Towards Light, Ando's first through-written book to be translated into English, explores the stories behind his greatest buildings and shares wisdom drawn from pivotal moments in Ando's life. Ando is a guide to both the granular demands of creative work - clients, budgets, and the importance of using your own tools - and the exhilaration of inspiration, the power of art and music to spark new ideas, and how to keep the imagination open. Towards Light is a grounded guide to a creative life as it is actually lived, for anyone committed to their work and to the long process of creating something meaningful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917927059536,"sku":"9781761381980","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761381980_1.jpg?v=1789030963"},{"product_id":"british-agent","title":"British Agent","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eA globe-trotting, torn from the headlines thriller from a CWA Steel Dagger winning author A veteran American spymaster weaving an elaborate web.
