Description
A deeply personal and moving exploration of the late work of 19 major artists, Immortal Thoughts: Late Style in a Time of Plague is a poignant reflection on the common threads that run through their final creations. In this beautifully written analysis, Christopher Neve weaves together a narrative of art, memory, and mortality, set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is a collection of 19 short essays, each one a meditation on an artist's late style, interspersed with personal accounts of the author's own experiences and observations. Through his distinctive style, Neve brings to life the works of artists such as Cézanne, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt, revealing the profound insights and emotions that underlie their final masterpieces.
