Description
Roger Hilton: A Comprehensive Overview This lavishly illustrated account provides a comprehensive overview of Roger Hilton's life and work, 27 years after his death. First published in 2003, it follows the major retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in 1993 and the drawings survey at the Tate St Ives in 1997. The book explores Hilton's extraordinary career, from his early explorations in paint to the inception of his first abstract pieces around 1950. It discusses the artist's mature works as both attracting the viewer and resisting easy reading, and examines his debt to the Ecole de Paris and his relation to the notion of the 'act of painting' that pervaded post-war culture. Through this detailed analysis, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Hilton's complex and intriguing interchanges of imagery and form in his final works.
