Seller's Description:
As New. 1900178087. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--144 pages; 120 color illustrations. Description: "Catalogue raisonné of the artist's oil paintings and an extensive bibliography...Naïve painter Bryan Pearce is a remarkable phenomenon of the St Ives art scene. Although severely limited in his learning ability since childhood, when phenylketonuria was diagnosed, he was encouraged by his mother to begin painting in his twenties. He has for nearly fifty years been celebrated for his depictions of his home town, its streets, parish church and harbor in oil, conte, pen & ink and pencil. This book, with more than 120 illustrations in full color, was published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition. The illustrations show the diverse range of his work and the wide subject matter from the tentative watercolors of the early 1950s, through the unique self-assured oil paintings, including his distinctive 'all-round' studies of the harbours of west Cornwall, to the extraordinarily sophisticated designs and dramatic colors of his most recent conte drawings. With an introduction by Professor Charles Thomas, the book contains new essays from William Cooper, William Leah and Janet Axten, with a study of the artist's working techniques by Rose Rands. Earlier writings on the artist by Alan Bowness, Peter Lanyon, H. S. (Jim) Ede and William Leach are reproduced, along with an extensive and revealing interview given by the artist's mother in 1973."
