25 Modernist Artists
Hardback | English
By (author): Joseph Agius
Joseph Agius through this publication makes an important contribution not only to the study of modern art in Malta but, in his inimitable style, also provides a 360-degree view of the profiles of the artists and chronicles their journey. His knowledge of their works comes across vividly, aided in no small way by his seasoned appreciation of fine art through years of collecting experience.
As a storyteller of those who helped shape Maltese modernism, fusing it into the fabric of our centuries-old artistic tradition and making it, in Schiele’s words, “eternal”, Joseph Agius leaves his mark for many years to come.
