DECEMBER 2020 NEW LEAD TITLE Taking in deep varicoloured mines, broad rolling plains, vast imposing landforms and exquisite calm bays, the landscape paintings of Philip Hughes comprise a love letter to Australia. Painting the Ancient Land of Australia Philip Hughes From Karinjini in the west to Fraser Island in the east, via the northern Kimberley and far southwest of Tasmania, Painting the Ancient Land of Australia follows painter Philip Hughes, palette in hand, across the length and breadth of the country. Hughes’s work is defined by his breathtaking portrayals of natural landscapes and human interventions, informed and inspired by maps and aerial photographs. With a bold graphic style complemented by expressive blocks of colour, Hughes’s practice seems particularly suited to the Australian landscape, as notable for its ecological nuances as it is for its stark extremes. Featuring work created over a span of three decades, a mixture of elegant sketches alongside larger painted artworks, Painting the Ancient Land of Australia presents a deeply personal exploration of a continent. 180 pages, 295 x 250 mm (HB) ISBN: 9781760760717 Thames & Hudson Australia AU$80.00 Represented by: Thames & Hudson Australia t +61 3 9646 7788 e enquiries@thameshudson.com.au Orders: Alliance Distribution Services t +61 2 4390 1300 f 1800 664 477 e adscs@alliancedist.com.au 1

Emil Zátopek is arguably the greatest Olympic champion of all time. The Czech runner’s three gold medals at the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics, for the 5,000 meter, 10,000 meter, and marathon, is an achievement that has never been matched. His success as a runner made him a national hero, but as a public figure, outspoken and unafraid to take a stand, he was equally impressive. Even before the Helsinki Games, Zátopek had scored a remarkable victory, successfully pressuring the communist regime to allow his colleague Stanislav Jungwirth, who until then had been excluded on political grounds, to compete. In Zátopek, Jan Novák and Jaromír 99 trace the extraordinary life and times of the great Olympian, from his first meeting with Dana, the love of his life, to the victories that would ensure his lasting legacy. 208 pages, 240 x 170 mm (PB) ISBN: 9781910593882 Self Made Hero AU$29.99 Represented by: Thames & Hudson Australia t +61 3 9646 7788 e enquiries@thameshudson.com.au Orders: Alliance Distribution Services t +61 2 4390 1300 f 1800 664 477 e adscs@alliancedist.com.au 5
