Product Description
Synopsis
Neo-Romanticism was tied to no single style, yet the group of artists shared a kindred spirit that was clearly recognizable. The author argues that these painters must be considered in the context of the growth of English Romanticism from William Blake and Samuel Palmer onwards. Of the older generation three artists in particular inaugurated the movement: Paul Nash, John Piper and Graham Sutherland. Subsequently, a new generation of painters came to represent their ideals: Michael Ayrton, John Minton, Keith Vaughan, John Craxton, Robert Colquhoun, and Prunella Clough among them. For these painters landscape became a vehicle for the projection of the emotions and the artists came to exmplify that confused period encompassing the Second World War. The author's other books are: "Eric Gill: A Man of Flesh and Blood" (1981) and "Keith Vaughan: His Life and Work" (1990). Malcolm Yorke was awarded the Yorkshire Post Art Book of the Year Prize in 1989.
