Mary Fedden - Christopher Andreae

Popis produktu

Mary Fedden (1915-2012) is one of Britain''s most popular artists. The focus of this acclaimed book, newly available in paperback in celebration of her life''s achievement, is the artist''s creative process in various different media - oil, gouache, pencil and collage. In an engaging text, which draws on numerous conversations with the artist during her final years, Christopher Andreae considers why Fedden has always had such a popular following, looks at the English quality of her work, and talks about the commercialisation of her art and her attitudes to the art market. Fedden is shown to be an original, serious and prolific artist, a draftsman of unusual sensitivity and prowess, and a colourist of power and subtlety.
