Description
The Idyllists: A Group of Visionary Artists Donato Esposito explores the lives and works of Frederick Walker and his closest artistic allies, who forged new identities as they sought perfection in their art. Their unconventional journey from commercial illustration to renowned recognition is revealed in this book. Walker, Pinwell, and North formed a group known for distilling beauty from mundane subjects. This book reproduces many of the Idyllists' works in colour for the first time, offering a vital contribution to literature on Victorian art. The Idyllists are restored to their rightful place in the history of British 19th-century art. Published in 2017, this book provides a unique insight into the artistic movement and its key figures. With reproductions of many works, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in Victorian art and the development of watercolour painting.
