More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Water Marks is a dazzling study of painters, sculptors, carvers, designers, decorators, photographers, print-makers, illustrators and cartoonists from the 19th century to date who have been moved by the atmosphere of East Anglia.
Presented with a mass of revelatory research, this surprising and highly entertaining survey ranges from Faberge craftsmen depicting a royal menagerie at Sandringham to Orlando the marmalade cat holidaying in Aldeburgh, and from Francis Bacon and the last Bohemians to a succession of visionaries including Stanley Spencer, Henry Moore, Ivon Hitchens and Mary Newcomb. Scores of stories and hundreds of images combine in a very singular portrait of a painterly paradise on England's eastern edge.

His writings on East Anglian art have appeared in the Eastern Daily Press since 1978 and in books including A Broad Canvas; Bird on a Wire: The Life and Art of Guy Taplin; and Making Waves: Artists in Southwold - the last a 2005 book of the year choice in The Times, Sunday Telegraph and Spectator.

Format:Hardcover
I was given this book as a birthday present and immediately sat down and read it. Living in East Anglia I was fascinated to learn about the artists who had lived there and had been inspired by its open skies and secret places. Ian makes you want to go out and look for the places mentioned and also to meet the artists who have contributed so much pleasure - you do not need to be a died-in-the-wool arty person to enjoy this book and the quality of the pictures are a bonus.
