The The Seasons

Meer over het boek

This book examines artists' relationship with the seasonal cycle. It focuses on twentieth-century and contemporary painters and printmakers to celebrate and explore the unique character of each season. Themes include the changing face of the landscape, plants that leaf, flower and fruit at particular times, wildlife that is prominent in different seasons, the farming calendar, customs and the weather. The authors explore how changes in farming practices, urban development and climate change have affected how we experience seasonality over the last century. Artists represented include John Nash, Eric Ravilious, Clare Leighton, Gertrude Hermes, Graham Sutherland, Monica Poole, Alan Reynolds, Laura Knight, Sven Berlin, Charles Tunnicliffe, James Bateman, Kurt Jackson, Carry Akroyd, Annie Ovenden and James Lynch.
