'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
Artists: William Turnbull, Lynn Chadwick, William Scott, Patrick Heron, Hans Coper, John Bratby, Jean Cook, David Hockney, Francis Bacon etc Author: Jane Alison (ed.) et al Publisher: Penguin Random House Date: 2022 Condition: Very good, some very minor handling marks to the matt card hardcovers, but otherwise a very clean and tidy copy
Published to accompany a Barbican exhibition in 2022 when we were all emerging from COVID and lockdowns, and which I had enjoyed immensely, this is a very informative catalogue including some fantastic juxtapositions from a period when painters, sculptors, ceramicists and others were making Britain a real force in the art world. Some interesting ideas in the essays and a welcome focus across different media. A great read and beautifully illustrated and designed.
