Description
Frank Bowling: A Life's Work This comprehensive monograph offers a detailed look at the life and art of British painter Frank Bowling. Born in British Guiana, Bowling arrived in England in his late teens to study at the Royal College of Art, alongside David Hockney and Derek Boshier. By the early 1960s, he was recognized as an original force in London's vibrant art scene. Bowling's unique style combines elements of figurative, symbolic, and abstract painting, with a treatment of light and space that recalls the great English landscape painters Gainsborough, Turner, and Constable. Dividing his time between New York and London since the late 1960s, Bowling has developed a distinctive abstract style that blends American painterly abstraction with British landscape traditions. This updated and expanded edition of Bowling's monograph provides a fresh perspective on an artist who has enjoyed belated attention and celebration in recent years, including a major Tate Britain retrospective in 2019.
