Bridget Riley: The Curve Paintings 1961-2014
No Customer Reviews
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 50-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. Animating the entire visual field, Riley's distinctive abstract language is shaped by her study of Paul C zanne 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.Format:Hardcover
