Sandra Blow (1925-2006) is among the most important British artists
of the later twentieth century. During a time of rapid change in
the art world, her commitment to abstract painting resulted in a
large and diverse body of work of distinctive power and subtlety.
Michael Bird's fascinating survey of Sandra Blow's life and art is
now available for the first time in a handsome paperback edition.
Compiled in collaboration with the artist during the last years of
her life, it provides a definitive overview of her career. The book
is lavishly illustrated throughout with a fully representative
selection of Blow's work. In this highly readable account, Michael
Bird looks in depth at Blow's evolving studio practice and the
personal nature of her abstract vision. He places Blow's
achievement firmly within the wider context of British and
international art movements of the post-war period and late
twentieth century. He also casts new light on the role played in
her life by Alberto Burri and Roger Hilton, two influences she
acknowledged to be crucial to her art. Through close attention to
Blow's working methods, this book provides a unique insight into
her creative process. It reveals the intensity of emotional
engagement and technical experimentation that lie behind the
apparent spontaneity of her vivid handling of materials, colour and
form.
