Ivon Hitchens (1893-1979) is widely regarded as the outstanding
English landscape painter of the 20th century. Immediately
recognisable by its daring yet subtle use of colour and brushmark
to evoke the spirit of place, his work is to be found in public and
private collections throughout the world. This is the definitive
study of Hitchens' life and work. Peter Khoroche draws on the
painter's published writings, correspondence and conversation to
create a critical reappraisal of Hitchens' theory and practice. He
surveys the entire oeuvre (still-lifes, flower pieces, nudes,
interiors and large-scale murals besides the landscapes), a huge
legacy of work spanning sixty years, and charts the journey from
conventional beginnings to 'figurative abstraction'. A selection of
over 100 colour images, examples of Hitchens' best and most
characteristic painting in all genres, provide a retrospective
exhibition covering the artist's entire career. These
illustrations, singled out for praise by reviewers of the hardback
edition, demonstrate the artist's outstanding talents and reinforce
his standing as a key figure in the history of British art.
