Synopsis
Graham Crowley (b. 1950) became a painter in the early 1970s out of conviction for the validity of painting, at a time when artists of the '1968 generation' were seeking to break the link with painting and its traditions. This book is the first to review the achievement of a highly regarded contemporary artist.
In a deliberate reaction to British dependence on American models, Crowley looked initially to 'European Modernism', and the clamorous, bright, exciting, 'non-figurative' images he was making by the late 1970s were directly inspired by Leger.
Quite quickly his visual language moved to the figurative, with the need to draw content into his images: with his conscious adoption of 'genre' painting, his subject became increasingly his own life and work experience. Following landscape paintings of housing estates focussed on urban decay, Crowley directed his attention to the genres of rural landscape and flower painting, the landscape of West Cork inspiring his most recent paintings since Crowley moved there in the mid-1990s.
Martin Holman's engaging text surveys the artist's entire career to date and is accompanied by colour reproductions of key works.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Holman, Martin. Graham Crowley. Farnham: Lund Humphries, 2009. Hardback, neat fine, no dustjacket. Red cloth with blue lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. 124pp., colour reproductions throughout. Contents clean and bright. Graham Crowley is an English artist, based in Suffolk. Graham doesn t like to pigeonhole his paintings into figurative or abstract, he prefers to categorise them by genres. He regards his early paintings as non-referential, which later evolved into synthetic figuration. Following this he worked on a series of dystopian cityscapes and later on highly coloured landscapes, for which he may be best known. Through his work Graham likes to challenge preconceptions on painting; his large monochromatic flower studies contrast traditional flower paintings, which are often associated with amateur painters who work on a small scale. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.
