Product Description
by Clive Head (Author)
Clive Head is one of the leading British painters of his generation. His remarkable images of urban streets draw on a wide range of traditions, Poussin, Titian and Canaletto, through to American realism, and even elements of Pop. But at their heart his paintings are attempts to answer the simple question: how do I resolve the space in the painting so that it is credible? In this book, based on a talk delivered to art students at the University of Northampton, Head talks with a straightforward frankness about how he makes his paintings and the philosophy that underpins them. He discusses the experience of exhibiting at London's National Gallery, and considers what he believes to be the key issues facing painters in the early twenty-first century. Part six of the New Aesthetics.
