Description
Quentin Blake's 100 Figures offers an unprecedented insight into his creative practice. This collection features all 100 works exhibited in a major London exhibition, showcasing a range of mediums and styles from large-scale oil paintings to drawings and prints. Created between the 1950s and today, these pieces demonstrate Blake's unique approach to drawing the human figure. From early studies at Chelsea School of Art to his later work, this book provides a rare glimpse into his artistic development. It also includes some of his earliest oil paintings, created on hardboard due to financial constraints. By exploring 100 Figures, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Blake's artistic process and the evolution of his style over several decades.
