Description
Tom Hammick: Wall, Window, World is the first comprehensive survey of painter and printmaker Tom Hammick's work. Julian Bell explores Hammick's art within the context of contemporary debates about painting, while relating it to the Romantic tradition that spans two centuries. The book delves into Hammick's working processes, imagery, and career, arguing that his work constitutes one of the richest imaginative achievements in late 20th- and early 21st-century British art. Many of Hammick's pictures respond to the landscape of South-East England, where he has spent much of his life. Others are inspired by his encounters with Canada's remote maritime provinces, a regularly revisited source that has given his work its distinctive flavour. With over 120 carefully selected images and produced in close collaboration with the artist, this book will appeal to collectors, students, art-world professionals, and painting enthusiasts alike. A special edition of Tom Hammick: Wall, Window, World is also available, featuring the three-part colour etching Fallout, created by the artist specially for this publication.
