Synopsis:
Bringing together essays by and interviews with British artist Bridget Riley, this volume represents her passionate and articulate engagement with colour, perception and art history.
Divided into three sections, the writings reveal Riley’s relationship to different topics over time, including the term ‘abstract’; the influence of Georges Seurat and Paul Cézanne; the role of colour and painting throughout art history; the importance of perception and much more.
The book includes interviews with preeminent art historians such as David Sylvester, Mel Gooding and Lynne Cooke, as well as in-depth studies of other artists: Piet Mondrian, Bruce Nauman and Georges Seurat.
Review:
'Handsome ... offers a wealth of insights into the inspirations and thinking of Britain's leading abstractionist' --The Independent
'The most surprising joy ... is Riley's ability to create the same clamouring fizz from her writing about vision as she does in her painting'
--Art Review
`These essays cast a richer light not only on Riley's own work, but also on that of the other artists whom she discusses with such insight'
--The Art Book
