'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Howard Hodgkin Author: Andrew Graham-Dixon Publisher: Abrams Date: 1994 Condition: Very good, a first edition hardback complete with the original dust wrapper over black boards. Some light handling marks to the wrapper, but internally very clean and tidy and overall in more or less as new condition.
Graham-Dixon's 1994 monograph is a really good read and looks great, with colour images of some of Hodgkin's best paintings throughout. It has a very discursive style which makes a change from a lot of 'art history' type writing, and thus it helps make an artist accessible who can often feel quite tricky to get to grips with.
