Description
Laura Knight: A Panoramic View This beautifully illustrated book is a major survey of Dame Laura Knight, one of the most famous and popular English artists of the twentieth century. Knight's realist style of painting fell out of fashion in the decades following her solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1965, but her work has recently been rediscovered for its contemporary resonance in depicting women at work, people from marginalized communities, and her contributions as a war artist. The book features over 160 works, including celebrated paintings, graphic and design works, ceramics, jewellery, and costumes that reflect Knight's enduring interest in the everyday activities of people from all walks of life. From her training at Nottingham Art School to her visits to traveller communities and a segregated American hospital, this selection provides a comprehensive overview of Knight's illustrious career. With its unique blend of celebrated and lesser-known works, Laura Knight: A Panoramic View is a valuable resource for anyone interested in British art history and the life and work of this pioneering female artist.
