Painter and illustrator Edward Bawden’s five scrapbooks, assembled over a period of more than 55 years, contain everything from stamps, photographs, cigarette cards, Christmas cards and letters to newspaper cuttings, drawings and autographs, amongst other fascinating ephemera. Beautifully designed and illustrated with over 250 images taken from these books, Edward Bawden Scrapbooks reveals this wonderful and at times eccentric collection and provides a new insight into one of the most popular artists of 20th-century Britain. The pages illustrated provide an alternative window into Bawden’s world, showing his very conscious awareness of both Surrealism and the work of other contemporary designers and typographers. But it is not only aficionados of Bawden who will be beguiled by these scrapbooks: perusing them is like trawling through an almanac of art, design and literature of the inter- and post-war years and the work of other key artists of the era such as Ben Nicholson, David Jones, Evelyn Dunbar, Eric Ravilious and Hugh Casson also appears. Some pages are beautiful, some instructive and others simply baffling but when taken in conjunction with Bawden’s watercolors, prints, illustrations, murals and other designs, the scrapbooks are the closest thing we have to an autobiography of one of the 20th-century’s most reclusive and English of artists. 画家兼插画家爱德华 · 鲍登的五本剪贴簿,历时超过55年,内容包罗万象,从邮票,照片,香烟卡片,圣诞贺卡和信件,到剪报,绘画和亲笔签名,还有其他一些令人着迷的东西。精美的设计和插图超过250图像,从这些书,爱德华 bawden 剪贴簿揭示这个美妙的,有时古怪的收集,并提供了一个新的洞察力,最受欢迎的艺术家之一,20世纪英国。插图页提供了另一个窗口进入 bawden 的世界,显示了他对超现实主义和其他当代设计师和排版设计师的工作的非常自觉的意识。但是不仅仅是 bawden 的狂热爱好者会被这些剪贴簿所迷惑: 仔细阅读这些剪贴簿就像是在翻阅一本战后和战间年代的艺术、设计和文学的年鉴,以及那个时代其他主要艺术家的作品,如本 · 尼克尔森,大卫 · 琼斯,伊夫林 · 邓巴,埃里克 · 拉维卢斯和休 · 卡松也出现了。有些页面很漂亮,有些很有启发性,有些则令人困惑,但是当我们把它与 bawden 的水彩画、版画、插图、壁画和其他设计结合起来看,这些剪贴簿就像是20世纪最隐居的英国艺术家之一的自传。 基本信息 ASIN : 1848221843 出版社 : Lund Humphries; 第 Illustrated 版 (2016年5月25日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 208页 ISBN-10 : 9781848221840 ISBN-13 : 978-1848221840 商品重量 : 1.43 kilograms 尺寸 : 24 x 2.54 x 30 cm
