This unrivalled publication, fully updated in 2011 to cover the artist’s final years, charts Barns-Graham’s remarkable artistic life, including discussion of her beginnings in Scotland and her long association with St Ives, the Cornish town made internationally famous by the avant-garde artists who migrated there at the outbreak of the Second World War. Arriving in Cornwall just months after the modernists Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo, Barns-Graham was quickly absorbed into their inner circle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe was subsequently one of the Crypt Group of young moderns, and a founder member of the breakaway Penwith Society of Arts. Looking at Barns-Graham in the round, Lynne Green explores the importance of her Scottish identity and her bold experimentation with abstraction. Barns-Graham was working right up to her death with the energy and enthusiasm usually associated with the young; this book celebrates her considerable contribution to the history of British art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLynne Green\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 344 pages \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e  November 2011\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e9781848220959\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 29.1 x 25.0 \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Museum Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376835371386,"sku":"9781848220959","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/wilhelmina-barns-graham-a-studio-life-9781848220959-1261714997.jpg?v=1791554858","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/wilhelmina-barns-graham-a-studio-life","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
