The Sunday Times Magazine, 8 May 1988, with a striking R. B. Kitaj cover for “Labours of Love: How Modern Artists Paint Motherhood”.

The principal art feature, “Art and the Act of Creation”, covers the Mother and Child exhibition at the Lefevre Gallery in aid of the Birthright charity. It reproduces works by a remarkable group of contemporary British artists, together with their original 1988 exhibition prices.

Artists represented include R. B. Kitaj, Peter Blake, John Piper, Mary Fedden, Ruskin Spear, Bill Jacklin, Anthony Green, Ken Kiff, David Inshaw, Sarah Raphael, Joe Tilson, Sandra Fisher, Tom Phillips and others.

Also includes “The Seven Ages of Yves”, a substantial illustrated profile of French actor and singer Yves Montand; “The Taiwan Effect”, examining Taiwan and its relationship with mainland China; and “A New Reign in Spain”, an illustrated feature on the flourishing Spanish design scene thirteen years after Franco.

An especially strong late-1980s issue for collectors of British art and design, with an excellent period R. B. Kitaj cover and extensive colour reproductions throughout.
