Focussing on the period from 1930 to 1960, this fascinating publication considers the transition of Victor Pasmore (1908-1998) from one of Britain's leading figurative painters to one of its foremost exponents of abstract art.
From Pasmore's own writings and those of his contemporaries, a fascinating picture emerges of the years in the late 1940s and early 1950s when lyrical landscapes - incorporating increasingly suggestive formal structures - were suddenly superseded by abstract paintings and collages, and then by constructed reliefs.
Seeking to explore these decades and later years, the book's visual narrative traces a path from the artist's earliest canvases through to his engagement in the 1960s with the controversial Apollo Pavilion in Peterlee, County Durham. This important publication will renew interest in an important period in British art history and shed new light on a crucial stage in Pasmore's long career. 聚焦于1930年至1960年期间,这本引人入胜的出版物考虑了维克托 · 帕斯莫尔(1908-1998)从英国领先的具象画家之一到抽象艺术最重要的倡导者之一的转变。从帕斯莫自己的作品和他同时代的作品中,可以看到一幅迷人的画作,描绘了20世纪40年代末至50年代初那些抒情风景画——包含了越来越具有启发性的形式结构——突然被抽象画和拼贴画取代,然后被构造的浮雕取代的年代。为了探索这几十年和以后的岁月,这本书的视觉叙事追溯了一条从艺术家最早的油画到他在1960年代与达勒姆郡彼得利有争议的阿波罗馆的约定的道路。这本重要的出版物将重新激发人们对英国艺术史上一个重要时期的兴趣,并为帕斯莫尔漫长职业生涯中的一个关键阶段提供新的线索。
