Bridget Riley

Meer over het boek

Marking the first major survey of Bridget Riley's use of the curve, this volume explores how the artist has often returned to this pictorial device over a fifty-year time span. Coinciding with the artist's exhibition at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill On Sea (13 June - 6 September 2015), the publication features studies and paintings from throughout Riley's career; beginning with black-and-white works from the 1960s up to the recent wall painting Rajasthan (2012), which combines curvilinear shapes with a vibrant colour palette.0 0Animating the entire visual field, Riley's distinctive abstract language is shaped by her study of Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat's treatment of pictorial space. Accompanied by colour illustrations of over 30 works in the exhibition, a new interview with the artist by Paul Moorhouse offers an in-depth exploration of Riley's influences and developments
