En savoir plus sur le livre

A fresh look at Eardley's astonishing, earthy and sensuous depictions of both children and the fishing village of Catterline, many never before published. This book will accompany the exhibition Joan Eardley: Fifteen Years which will be held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art from December 3, 2016 to May 14, 2017.Joan Eardley's career lasted barely fifteen years: she died in 1963, aged just forty-two. During that time she concentrated on two very different themes: the extraordinarily candid paintings of children in the Townhead area of Glasgow and paintings of the fishing village of Catterline, just south of Aberdeen, with its leaden skies and wild sea. These two contrasting strands are the focus of this book, which looks in detail at her working process. It draws on a remarkable archive of sketches and photographs which remains largely unknown and unpublished. It also features many works from public and private collections, allowing the viewer to trace specific developments between the photographs, the drawings and the finished paintings.
