Description
By:
The definitive illustrated monograph of trailblazing British artist, queer icon, and pioneer Maggi Hambling, on the occasion of her eightieth birthday.
Featuring an exceptional range of reproductions of Maggi Hambling’s work, including unique archival materials, this authoritative and visually stunning new volume offers the most comprehensive account of Hambling’s oeuvre to date. Essays by leading critics, curators, and art historians trace Hambling’s formative period from her time at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in the early 1960s, to her rise to fame in the ’80s, the centrality of drawing to her eclectic practice, and the virtuoso series of paintings that have defined her output in recent decades. Hambling’s work and legacy are explored in vivid detail here, emphasizing her importance to British art over the past half century, as well as her singular place in the global sphere of contemporary art. Love, death, and remembrance are revealed as her enduring themes, and are reflected in her intimate portraits as much as her epic-scaled evocations of war, the climate emergency, and the natural world. Shining a light on Hambling’s fearless spirit, this tour-de-force publication takes you deep into the heart and mind of one of the most influential and provocative artists of her generation.
