'Cut Papers' features some of the artist’s most whimsical and intriguing works made on paper and in paper, alongside a select group of sculptures in metal, wood and ceramic. The first publication to focus solely on Picasso’s cut papers, this book features many works reproduced for the first time with newly commissioned photography, alongside new scholarship on a little-known aspect of one of the 20th century’s most pivotal practices.Although Picasso rarely sold or exhibited his cut papers (or papiers découpés) during his lifetime, he signed, dated and archived them just as he did all his works. They were simply part of a more private studio practice, often made for family or as models for his fabricators.Also featured is a photo section that surveys Picasso’s engagement with cut paper and sculpture over the decades and documents his practice of cutting paper, both in and out of the studio.256 pages150 colour illustrations25 x 22 cm.DelMonico Books/Hammer Museum

Tjungurrayi’s untitled painting depicts Kirritjinna, a rock hole site south-west of Lake MacDonald - a vast ephemeral salt lake straddling the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. During ancestral times, a large group of Tingari Men camped at this site before travelling to Lake MacDonald. The legends of the Tingari are secret-scared in nature, but in general, they are a group of ancestral Dreaming beings who traversed the country, creating and transforming the landscape through their travels. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices, and their adventures are enshrined in numerous song cycles.Tjungurrayi painted the places he used to walk around as a boy growing up in the desert. Kirritjinna, close to the place of his birth, is rendered in the artist’s signature style – a central, undulating water source forming part of a network, connecting people, Country, and Law. A master of movement and restraint, Tjungurrayi uses subtle variations in tone to create depth in this work, his fiery palette giving life to the ancestral footprints that connect the sites of his Country.92cm x 100cm 16mm 100% silk satin with hand-rolled edges and double-sided printing.Scarves come in a gift box that includes an authentication card detailing the Artist's practice.

Hanging length: approx. 5.5cm.Available in two colours: bright silver, and dark silver.Paula Dunlop is an Artist, Designer and Maker based in Meanjin (Brisbane), Australia. Her work is sometimes for the body, sometimes not; she creates both wearables and non-wearables, working contemporaneously across the two and in their in-between spaces.  Her jewellery is materials- and process-driven; she takes her lead from the possibilities presented by the materials, or by exploring and extending time-honoured (and often time-consuming) construction techniques. 

Jeremy Plint is a Meanjin (Brisbane) based painter, ceramicist and art therapist. His visual practice examines the limited constructs of identity and the human form in reflection of personal narratives and environmental symbiosis. His current explorations in ceramics propose a new relationship between material, surface and the body through the ritualism of physical actions; the trace/record of which is found in the surface of his objects.
