My book, 'A History of Art in Four Colours', comes out on the 2nd August from Ilex. Based on the National Gallery collection (with a few modern interlopers), the book traces four journeys through the history of western painting using colour as a linking thread. Each colour has a fold-out section with reproductions of all of the works discussed. You can pre-order the book here. News about events around the book coming soon.
