In this new book about Joan Eardley published in the 50th anniversary of
her death, Christpher Andreae provides a fresh assessment of her work and
its relative Scottishness or universality. He relates her art to the work of
contemporaries such as Josef Herman, to inspired teachers such as Hugh
Adam Crawford, and considers the impact of Renaissance art, of 20th
century European expressionism and modern American art. The author
also looks at her relationships, quotes from letters previously embargoed,
and discusses published and unpublished assessments of her work both
during her life and after.
The Author: Christopher Andreae has written about art since the 1960’s.
He is the author of Mary Newcomb (1996 and 2007), A Word or Two
(a collection of essays published in 2004), Mary Fedden: Enigmas and
Variations (2007) and Winifred Nicholson (2009).
