Book Description
Glenys Barton's supreme art as a sculptor in ceramics has been celebrated ever since she left the Royal College of Art. From her subsequent spell as artist-in-residence at Wedgewood, she proceeded to contemplative exploration of the human spirit in the tranquil timeless heads and more specific portraits of artist friends, patrons and family. Recent portrait commissions have included Jean Muir and Glenda Jackson. This book was published by Momentum to coincide with exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery, Flowers East and Stoke on Trent City Museum and Art Gallery.
