Synopsis
From the remote coastline of her native Scotland to the mountains of Andalucia, Barbara Rae captures what she sees in her sketchbooks, recording direct evocations of the landscapes that serve as her muse. Published here for the first time, these dynamic studies offer insight into the themes and motifs of Rae's paintings and prints, but also stand alone as drawings with a sense of adventure and immediacy. Richard Cork draws on interviews with the artist to examine how she sketches to connect with a subject, and Gareth Wardell provides a narrative for Rae's particular obsessions. Following the recent publication of her prints, this book confirms the artist as one of the boldest in the contemporary scene, moved as much by emotion as by her senses to record the visible world., Whatever her location, from the remote coastline of her native Scotland to the mountains of Andalucía and the Arizona desert, Barbara Rae responds to what she sees in her sketchbooks. These dynamic studies provide themes and motifs for Rae's paintings and prints, but they also stand alone as sensuous evocations of the landscapes to which she is so attached. Richard Cork draws on interviews with the artist to examine how she connects to her subjects through her sketches, and in a spirited response to the books themselves he describes the experience of looking through their vibrant pages. Categorising the sketches into broad thematic groups, such as 'Man and Sea' and 'Desert Symbols', Gareth Wardell probes Rae's particular obsessions. Following the publication of her prints, this rich book confirms Rae as one of contemporary art's boldest contributors, whose intense emotions and unique sensory responses are translated into her representations of the natural world. AUTHOR: Richard Cork is an award-winning art critic, historian, broadcaster and curator. Cork's many books include a groundbreaking study of Vorticism, awarded the John Llewellyn-Rhys prize in 1977, and 'Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska, Gill', published by the Royal Academy in 2009. Four acclaimed volumes of his critical writings on modern art were published in 2003. SELLING POINTS: * The dynamic and colourful sketchbooks of Barbara Rae RA are filled with sensuous evocations of place * Includes an introduction from an award-winning art critic and historian, Richard Cork 127 colour

    I recently purchased "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on eBay, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience! The seller was exceptionally responsive and took great care in packaging the book securely. It arrived even sooner than expected and in pristine condition—exactly as described in the listing. Douglas Adams' masterpiece is a witty and whimsical journey through the cosmos, and I'm delighted to have this fantastic edition in my collection.

    Really happy I was able to find a copy of this book in great quality and at lower price no less! I will say though that the shipping could've been more consistent, not only taking longer than expected but no communication for like a month from USPS or tracking. For a second there I thought this got lost in the mail! But thankfully the packaging and shipment arrived just in time! Thank you so much for helping me complete my collection!
