Description
Christopher Wood: A Life and Work in Two Worlds This authoritative monograph provides the first fully illustrated account of English painter Christopher Wood's life and work. With over 150 images, it offers a fresh perspective on his unique artistic development in both Britain and France. Wood's career was marked by a diverse range of influences, which he drew upon to create his distinctive faux-naïve style. The book explores his engagement with the Parisian avant-garde, as well as his attraction to simpler ways of life in Cornwall, Cumbria, and Brittany. A fascinating narrative reveals the tensions between these two worlds that Wood inhabited, ultimately unable to reconcile them. A valuable addition to the published literature on this early 20th-century painter, Christopher Wood will appeal to readers new to his work, as well as collectors and enthusiasts.
