{"product_id":"w-barns-graham-a-studio-life","title":"Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: A Studio Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eBritish artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912-2004) played a key role in the development of modern abstract art in Britain. 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. She was subsequently one of the Crypt Group of young moderns, and a founder member of the breakaway Penwith Society of Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32030845141075,"sku":"9781848220959","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781848220959.jpg?v=1780111841","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/w-barns-graham-a-studio-life","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
