Spain has been the enduring subject of Susan Wilson (b. 1951) since the celebrated painter first visited the country in 1976, shortly after the death of dictator Francisco Franco. This major monograph reveals how Spain's society, geography and culture - and in particular, its majestic Old Master paintings - have shaped the New Zealand-born, London-based artist's work and thinking for five decades. Richly illustrated with over 150 expressive paintings, prints and drawings, and featuring Wilson's own perceptive writings about her travels from Catalonia to Andalusia, this beautiful volume traces both an artist's creative journey and a distinctive, deeply personal vision of Spain.
This book can be purchased from the National Gallery, Daunt Books (Holland Park and Marylebone), and Hatchards (Piccadilly).
