Estelle Thompson is one of the most highly regarded painters of her generation. In her latest works -- many published here for the first time -- her rigorous pursuit of order in abstraction has led her to the laying down of color in stripes that seem to pulsate with life, hovering above the ground on which they are painted, escaping any association with form. Denying the viewer a point of focus, dazzling the eye in a manner reminiscent of the work of Bridget Riley, Thompson's work nonetheless appeals to the emotions as well as to the intellect. Color, above all, establishes the mood of each picture, in combinations that are complex and sometimes shockingly vivid. Her paintings are about light: light suggested, light contained, light reflected. Initially, Thompson saw her work, although abstract, as located within the Northern European landscape tradition; in her latest pieces, the references are broader, the placing less specific. This, the first monograph on the artist, offers an authoritative critical text and full-color reproductions of works from every stage of her career.
