Description
Victor Willing Visions by John McEwen and Victoria Howarth is a comprehensive monograph on the life and work of this influential painter. First published in 2019, the book marks a major retrospective exhibition at Hastings Contemporary, coinciding with a long-overdue reappraisal of Willing's groundbreaking style. Willing established his reputation as a painter while still a student at the Slade School of Art in London in the early 1950s. His solo exhibition at the Hanover Gallery in 1955 cemented his status among his contemporaries, with influential art critic David Sylvester describing him as the "spokesman of his generation". However, Willing's career was marked by periods of creative block and personal setbacks, including a diagnosis with multiple sclerosis that left him paralyzed. This book offers a fresh perspective on Willing's remarkable talent, intellect, and innovative style, which continued to inspire and influence artists long after his passing.
