British and American Art in Benezit
Originally a French publication with excellent coverage of Western European artists, Benezit’s representation of English and American artists was identified as an area of improvement with the publication of its 2006 English edition. The launch of Benezit online in 2011 included 100 entirely new entries on American and British landscape artists, including painters and printmakers of the countryside, the city, and the sea. This update introduced readers to Gregory Gillespie's vibrant landscapes inspired by Flemish old masters, John Wilde's Magicical Realist views, and Romantic watercolors by Welsh painter Bert Isaac.
In 2012, the dictionary continued to add new articles and fully update existing entries on American, British, and Australian artists. Highlights included new entries on British portraitist Leonard Boden and American political cartoonist Jacob Burck, as well as updated entries on contemporary British artist Damien Hirst and Australian abstract painter Grace Crowley. New and revised entries were included in the publication of the Benezit Dictionary of British Graphic Artists and Illustrators, edited by Stephen Bury. The two-volume set includes over 3,000 entries and provides a compact accessible collection of entries on printmakers, poster artists, illustrators, cartoonists, calligraphers, and illuminators either native to or active in the United Kingdom from the Middle Ages to the present.
