William Turnbull (1922-2012) stands as one of Britain's foremost
artists in the second half of the twentieth century. Both a
sculptor and a painter, he explored the changing contemporary world
and its ancient past, actively engaging with the shifting concerns
of British, European and American artists. Presenting
interpretations of Turnbull's work from an impressive roll-call of
over sixty art historians, curators, critics and artists, a picture
emerges of an innovative artist who determinedly followed his own
path, drawing on influences as diverse as ancient cultures and
contemporary music. Expansive in its breadth, William Turnbull:
International Modern Artist will stand as the authoritative book on
this fascinating artist. With contributions by Oliva Bax, Paul
Becker, Andrew Bick, Antonia Bostroem, Mel Brimfield, Bianca Chu,

This volume is dedicated to 100 of the artist's most beautiful and
unforgettable canvases, as well as a rich selection of lesserknown
works. It explores the paintings in the context of Van Gogh's short
but brilliant career, allying the works to his correspondence,
which provides the narrative thread around which this study
develops.
