London, 1952; lives and works in Lewes) started writing about art in the 1990s— he has published several monographs and regularly produces reviews for the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e—but has actually made art since the 1970s. Influenced by the Old Masters and modernist painting, Bell’s work explores fresh perspectives on everyday life. Biblical narratives, urban life in London, and the natural landscape of Sussex, where he lives, supply him with motifs. The painter’s style is indebted to the very artists about whom he writes as an art critic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58938024198525,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/8113\/7104\/files\/Capture_cac5f87e-bc70-4833-b7cd-e6b52e199798.jpg?v=1792408588","url":"https:\/\/www.city-books.co.uk\/products\/storytelling-pictures-the-paintings-of-julian-bell","provider":"City Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
