John-Paul Stonard trained as a painter before completing a doctorate in art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art. From 2005 to 2010, he worked as an editor at the Burlington Magazine, where he remains a member of the Consultative Committee. His writing has regularly appeared in the London Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, Burlington Magazine and Apollo. John-Paul's publications include Fault Lines: Art in Germany 1945-55; Germany Divided: Baselitz and his Generation; Chatsworth, Arcadia, Now; and, as editor and contributor, The Books that Shaped Art History. Over a period of four years he travelled extensively to see the objects described in Creation, from Japan to Mexico, Cairo to Madrid, China to Moscow, writing the book as he went.
If The Story of Art were written today, it would look very much like Creation ... This bountifully illustrated book is a history of connections ... [Stonard has a] lucid, thoughtful style ... He manages to show both how the great names of Western art and their peers elsewhere in the world were driven by the same forces, but above all that making art is part of what it means to be human -- Michael Prodger * Country Life * Creation has moments of delight and insight * The Critic *
