The first fully illustrated account of the life and work of English
painter Christopher Wood (1901-30), this authoritative work, which
includes over 150 images, provides extensive visual analysis of
individual paintings, set designs and drawings created by Wood in
both Britain and France so bringing fresh perspective to his unique
artistic development on both sides of the Channel.Wood's short
career drew on a multitude of influences, all of which contributed
to the development of his faux-naive style. His oscillation between
diverse artistic reference points is borne out in Katy Norris'
fascinating narrative that analyses Wood's engagement with the
Parisian avant-garde on the one hand, and the attraction of the
simpler life he encountered in Cornwall, Cumbria and Brittany on
the other. The emotional turmoil of his final years underlines the
tensions between the two worlds that Wood inhabited and which he
was ultimately was unable to reconcile.Filling a surprising gap in
the published literature about this early 20th-century painter,
Christopher Wood will appeal to readers who are yet to encounter
Wood's work, as well as collectors and enthusiasts.
