Description

John Hoyland's final decade was marked by a profound engagement with mortality, as he created a series of paintings that were both elegies and tributes. These works, including his 'Mysteries' series, are a testament to his defiance in the face of mortality, and offer a unique perspective on the artist's own life and career.

Through essays by Natalie Adamson, David Anfam, Matthew Collings and Mel Gooding, this publication provides a rich and multifaceted account of Hoyland's late work. The book explores his veneration of Vincent van Gogh, his connections to J.M.W. Turner, and his innovative use of black as a colour, as well as his development of a cosmic visual language.

Richly illustrated, this book extends our understanding of Hoyland's late work within both the context of his own career and the story of modern painting as a whole.
