Anne Redpath | Patrick Bourne

Very Good condition hardback with dust jacket.

One of the most well-known and best loved Scottish painters of this century, this is the first book to tell Anne Redpath’s lifestory, from her secure small-town childhood in the Scottish borders to her frenetic and peripatetic final years. Known for her vibrant heavily textured still life and landscapes, her personal life was a fascinating blend of contradictions: a devout Congregationalist who adored Catholic art, a political leftist with a passion for luxury Parisian fashion.  She is revealed as an intriguingly complex character; as an intellectual who painted the most direct and sensual paintings.
