This title was first published in 2003. Twenty-seven years after
his death, Roger Hilton's reputation as a leading figure in British
'abstract expressionism' continues to rise. Following the major
retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in 1993 and the
drawings survey at the Tate St Ives in 1997, this lavishly
illustrated account is the first to provide a comprehensive
overview of the life and work of this important artist. Hilton's
extraordinary career is discussed in all its phases, from the
intriguing earliest explorations in paint to the inception of his
first abstract pieces around 1950 and the complex and intriguing
interchanges of imagery and form that mark his final works. Adrian
Lewis explains the artist's mature works as both attracting the
viewer and resisting easy reading, and discusses in detail the
artist's debt to the Ecole de Paris and his relation to the notion
of the 'act of painting' that pervaded post-war culture.
