The 30 artworks from London鈥檚 Tate Gallery analysed in Paint and Purpose: A
Study of Technique in British Art may indeed have been painted with purpose, but
the book鈥檚 intent is less clear. Novices will be challenged, but there is no
ease of reference for professionals. Still, beautifully illustrated, and an
intimate introduction to some famous paintings from a great collection. Edited
by Stephen Hackney, Rica Jones and Joyce Townsend, Tate Gallery Publishing,
