About this Item
Description:
pp.224 with col. & b/w. photos. and illus. throughout. 4to. Minor spotting to top-edge of text block o/w. a fine hardback in fine dw. This book describes the life and work of Rory McEwen, a legend in his lifetime and still admired thirty years after his untimely death. A pivotal figure in the British Folk music movement, he was one of the first from Britain to search out the roots of American Blues. McEwen s greatest legacy, however, lies in the wonderful, luminous flower paintings produced throughout his life, of anemones, auriculas, tulips, fritillaries and roses, alongside vegetables and dying leaves. Combining a deep understanding of the great tradition of flower painting with a sensitivity to the currents of his own time, these works live on today, providing inspiration to new generations of botanical artists.
