Diana Armfield : A Lyrical Eye

A centennial celebration of the contemporary British painter Diana Armfield.Diana Armfield has a highly personal attachment to subject and a subtly distinctive affinity with the rhythms of form and tone.These qualities have made her an important, influential figure in modern British art—and a very popular one.She has received her widest acclaim for her flower paintings, but her work is much broader than that.This book—created to mark her one-hundredth birthday—is also a rich representation of the painter's feeling for landscape and place.Featuring two hundred illustrations, including a number of more recent works, this book is a fascinating exploration of her life and work to date.An interview with Armfield by Andrew Lambirth and an essay on her work round out the volume.
