Bridget Riley, one of the leading abstract painters of her generation, holds a unique position in contemporary art. She has developed and extended the range of her interests ever since her first success in the 1960s, creating a body of work which is both consistent and highly varied. This volume, now fully revised and updated, reveals the mind behind this remarkable achievement, drawing together the most important texts and interviews of the last forty years. Rileys writings show a passionate engagement with her subjects and a great insight paired with a freshness of approach and an exceptional clarity of expression. Quite apart from providing a key to understanding her own work, this book is a fascinating document reflecting the issues and problems facing an artist in the 21st century.

'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'

I cannot in all honesty review this book as it was a gift for a university student, I gather she likes it so guess that is all the reviewing I can comment on!
