John Olsen: Drawing – The Human Touch
John Olsen; Ken McGregor
Melbourne: Macmillan Art Publishing, 2014.“This richly illustrated publication represents the author’s attempt to locate as many of John Olsen’s drawings as possible and Macmillan’s determination to reproduce them in a book which will serve as a companion to our previous monographs on the artist’s prints and paintings. Olsen is an artist who believes drawing to be the fundamental skill of artistic production and whose artworks, whether paintings, prints or drawings, indicate a keen sense of observation of human and animal behaviour translated into lively and sometimes humorous compositions dependent on the drawn line. He is a living legend on the Australian art scene, who claims: “Drawing is important in every stage of an artist’s career. Drawing is the plank on which you build the architecture of your work. Drawing is a transferable energy, a life-force, and it entails many ways of observing…” This book will inform and amuse as it reiterates the importance of drawing.” (publisher’s blurb)

Narcolepsy
Max Pam; Bob Charles
Sydney: T&G Publishing, 2012.“Narcolepsy radically delivers a process that shakes-up the form of the book to produce the art as book and the book as art. The book is a fully realised graphic vehicle. The ways in which the book operates as a series of closures and openings, also parallels the content of the book and amplifies it as an evocative, mysterious object. Narcolepsy is loaded with the poetics of sex and death realised through an exciting fusion of drawing, painting, text and photography. Narcolepsy is a disturbingly ambiguous novella in pictures and words by Max Pam (photographer) and Bob Charles (writer).” (publisher’s blurb)

Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line
Tomoko Sato
New York: Mucha Foundation Publishing, 2025.“This volume reappraises the graphic work of Alphonse Mucha and explores its influence on graphic art since the 1960s. Published in conjunction with a touring exhibition in the US & Mexico, this volume surveys the development of Mucha’s style, synonymous with Art Nouveau. It explores how it was rediscovered by later generations of artists, becoming an artistic idiom for the Psychedelic Art of the 1960s and 1970s as well as a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today. Coinciding with the opening of the new Mucha Museum in the baroque Savarin Palace in Prague, ‘Timeless Mucha’ is organised into three thematic sections: Inspirations for the Mucha Style, Le Style Mucha, and Art Nouveau and The Rebirth of the Mucha Style and Its Legacy. The first two sections focus on Mucha’s artistic development, examining the theoretical basis of Muchas style–famously known as “le style Mucha” in fin-de-siecle Paris–and its context. Tracing the artist’s footsteps from his youth in Moravia through the 1890s, when he attained fame as a poster artist, the first section highlights a selection of works of art, crafts and books from his own collection. The third section explores visual links between Mucha’s artistic idiom and the styles developed by later generations of artists. While Mucha’s style continues to influence today’s visual culture, including fashion, animation movies and computer games, this catalogue also focuses on a philosophical aspect of Mucha’s legacy: the art of message-making.”
