'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: Joan Eardley Author: Christopher Andreae Publisher: Lund Humphries Date: 2013 Condition: Very good, some very small nicks to bottom edge of dust jacket, otherwise a very clean copy and virtually as new.
A rare book now, this monograph on one of Scotland’s most interesting and singular painters in the post-war period is a major addition to the literature on the artist.
Including not only lots of illustrations of her paintings, but also lots of very illuminating drawings, this book gives a full biographical survey of her life and career, from student days right through. There are also selected lists of exhibitions, a bibliography and a section on Eardley's letters to Audrey Walker, largely previously unpublished.
