Description
Sandra Blow: A Monograph by Michael Bird This book provides a definitive overview of Sandra Blow's life and art, drawing on many conversations with the artist in her lifetime. Published in Blow's centenary year, it offers a fascinating insight into her career, set firmly within the wider context of British and international art of the post-war period and late twentieth century. The monograph explores Blow's evolving studio practice and the personal nature of her abstract vision, shedding new light on the role played in her life by influential artists such as Alberto Burri and Roger Hilton. Through close attention to Blow's working methods, the book reveals the intensity of emotional engagement and technical experimentation that lie behind the apparent spontaneity of her vivid handling of materials, colour and form. The book is illustrated throughout with a fully representative selection of Blow's work, providing a unique insight into her creative process.
