This print was done for the British Heart Association's campaign, "Mending Broken Hearts" as part of their "Breath of Life" portfolio. As printed on the internet: Phillips' simple and elegant design shows six stages of a heart as it gradually becomes whole. He plays with the arrangement of the phrase "take art for the heart', placing it inside the heart shapes and reducing and simplifying it until there is nothing left. Phillips' work is often based around text; in this piece he surrounds his image with a poem, "The alchemy and potent balm of art/ may serve to heal the metaphoric heart/but for the real blood-pumping thing it takes/all medicine to mend it when it breaks'. A testament to the transformative power of art on the human soul. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This painting depicts a portrait of Pella Erskine-Tulloch in Phillips' studio holding a handbound edition of Phillips' "Dante's Inferno." Tom Phillips describes this painting in "The Portrait Works" as follows: "The title of the picture 'The Dante Binding' refers to the book on which the sitter rests her arms. It was the last thing in the picture to be painted since it did not exist until the final three or four sittings. During the months this portrait took to paint, Pella Erskine-Tulloch and I were involved in designing the three volume binding for the Talfourd Press edition of Dante's Inferno. This sample blank volume was the final prototype. It was a triumphant moment in which the silkscreen cloth and spine-titling I had designed came together in her superbly structured binding: the mere presence of the book (replacing substitute books in earlier sittings) was enough to resolve the picture and propel it towards completion. Dante appears elsewhere in the portrait in the...
