As well as designing the covers for the LRB, Peter Campbell has, for more than a decade, been contributing articles and reviews; mainly about art, but also about architecture, landscape and visual culture. This collection of his writing, remarkable both for his close attention to the objects he is looking at, and for his open-ended sense of what their wider implications may be, contains pieces on a diverse array of artists from Titian and Bellini to Lucian Freud and from Nicholas Hawksmoor to Daniel Libeskind.
