Art without the confusing art speak. Stories about all the stuff that artists explore and question: what’s going on, how we think and behave, and the role of art in our world.

“The Gallery Companion, written by historian Dr Victoria Powell, is smart and informative, and for anybody curious about art and its role in the world.”
Victoria K. Walker, Beyond Bloomsbury
“Edgy, smart & engaging! Victoria's writing about art is well informed and fresh! ”
Kathleen Clare Waller, The Matterhorn: truth in fiction
“Dr Victoria Powell is very well read, widely knowledgeable, and thoughtful— without ever being alienating. What's best is she includes women artists as much as she includes male artists (but doesn't make a big deal of it— how art history should be!). ”
Hall W. Rockefeller, Less Than Half
