Description
Joan Eardley: A Sense of Place This book explores the life and art of Scotland's most admired artist, Joan Eardley, through a detailed examination of her working processes. From rough sketches and photographs to pastel drawings and large oil paintings, the authors reveal the methods behind Eardley's distinctive style. By drawing on unpublished letters, archival records, and interviews, the authors provide a new and remarkably detailed account of Eardley's life and art. The book focuses on two key themes: the children of Glasgow's Townhead area and the fishing village of Catterline, where Eardley found inspiration in the humanity of the people she encountered. Through this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Eardley's art and the context in which it was created, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish art and culture.
