How does Blake&39;s background in education inform his work? And what is the interrelation between the work he makes and the life that he leads? Distinguished curator Ghislaine Kenyon has spent a great deal of time with Blake during the last decade and a half and in Quentin Blake In the Theatre of the Imagination she provides a profound insight into an extraordinary man and a truly remarkable body of work Kenyon has known Quentin Blake since 1998 and worked with him on staging a jointly curated exhibition &39;Tell Me A Picture&39; in the year of Blake&39;s tenure as Children&39;s Laureate (1999-2000) She followed Blake during the years in which he continued to work &39;off the page&39; producing work for hospitals in Angers and Paris and staging major exhibitions around the world collaborating with him both in an administrative and curatorial capacity But what Kenyon has observed during a number of years of working alongside him and sharing a friendship is that Blake&39;s work is necessarily intertwined with his life His life informs his wonderful illustrations and his artwork in turn informs his life - a life which is extremely private mysterious and full of complexities and ambiguities Kenyon and Blake share a background in teaching and this interest informs Blake&39;s connection to what educationists call learning and teaching&39; but which could also be termed simply education A shared enthusiasm for education brought Kenyon and Blake together and informs the projects both the artist and curator now work on aiming to reach children and adults in new ways and provide new experiences With exceptional insight into Blake&39;s oeuvre and his life Ghislaine Kenyon has produced not merely a biography but a critical view of the artist&39;s work Quentin Blake In the Theatre of the Imagination is a fitting tribute to Quentin Blake&39;s journey and his great legacy - the delightful illustrations to over 300 books several written by him paintings prints and sculptures - and the contribution he has made to art education and the lives of so many different people"

| "Asexuality can be defined as an enduring lack of sexual attraction Thus asexual individuals do not find (and perhaps never have) others sexually appealing Some consider asexuality as a fourth category of sexual orientation distinct from heterosexuality homosexuality or bisexuality However there is also recent evidence that the label asexual may be used in a broader way than merely as a lack of sexual attraction People who say they have sexual attraction to others but indicate little or no desire for sexual activity are also self-identifying as asexual Distinct from celibacy which refers to sexual abstinence by choice where sexual attraction and desire may still be present asexuality is experienced by those having a lack or sexual attraction or a lack of sexual desire More and more those who identify as asexual are coming out joining up and forging a common identity The time is right for a better understanding of this sexual orientation written by an expert in the field who has conducted studies on asexuality and who has provided important contributions to understanding asexuality This timely resource will be one of the first books written on the topic for general readers and the first to look at the historical biological and social aspects of asexuality It includes firsthand accounts throughout from people who identify as asexual The study of asexuality as it contrasts so clearly with sexuality also holds up a lens and reveals clues to the mystery of sexuality"
