Eighty of Hodgkin's best works, dating from 1980 to 1995, are lovingly reproduced in full color. This book is the catalogue of the most important exhibition of Hodgkin's work in at least ten years, and traces his early development to his current position as one of the leading painters of the postwar generation. Completing the volume is a full catalogue raisonne of all of Hodgkin's oil paintings (complete to 1995), as well as a penetrating essay about the artist and contemporary art by Susan Sontag. Product Description: The most complete study to date of one of the leading painters of the postwar generation, and the catalogue of the most important exhibition of Hodgkin's work in more than ten years. Printed in duotone, the catalogue allows the reader to see the full range of the artist's achievement. 354 illustrations, 267 in duotone and 80 in full color. Average Rating:

Michael Auping has written a compassionate opening essay on this sensitive man and the development of his work. Susan Sontag ... Read More
