'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: Cordelia Oliver Publisher: Mainstream Date: 1988 Condition: In very good condition, a few handling marks to the cover and some light tanning to the edges.
The book which helped to kick-start the revival of interest in this important Scottish post-war painter. Cordelia Oliver's biographical survey of Eardley's short painting career was the first major publication on her, and it brought home just what an influential artist she was to those after her. Indeed, almost 40 years after its publication, we can still see the strong message Eardley's work and life has for painters now.
