<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Over five decades, the art of Humphrey Ocean (born 1951) has filtered into British and international culture. This includes his series of portraits entitled <i>A Handbook of Modern Life</i>, displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in 2013; his portrait of Christopher Le Brun, President of the Royal Academy of Arts in London; and the cover of Paul McCartney's 2007 album <i>Memory Almost Full</i>, which featured one of the <i>Chair</i> series. <p/>Ocean's practice encompasses painting, printmaking, sculpture, bookmaking and drawing. Of the last, he has said: "Paper is lovely, immediate and personal. I draw as an end in itself." <p/>This, the first monograph to bring together works from the early 1970s to the present day, provides a fascinating overview of Ocean's career, with an essay by Ben Thomas, which sets out to discover exactly what it is that makes Ocean's art so appealing and universal.</p>
