Never particularly keen on exhibiting his work, British artist Euan Uglow (1932-2000) maintained a lower profile than other artists of his generation and kept many of his paintings out of the public view. Appreciative critics are now joined by growing numbers of admirers who consider Uglow one of Britain's greatest post-war artists. Even so, his name is increasingly well known, and his beautiful, intelligent, humane and often witty landscapes, still lifes and figure studies are gaining the recognition they deserve.
Richard Kendall's essay explores the formation of Uglow's fundamental attitudes, beliefs, and processes in the years 1950 to 1970, and Catherine Lampert looks at the content and personal nature of the artist's paintings over a lifetime, emphasizing especially his growing attention to colour and light. This is the first book to examine Uglow's entire output in paintings. The volume reproduces every known oil painting by Uglow - a total of more than 400 works, some 80 of which are here reproduced for the first time.In addition to a chronology, bibliography and exhibition history for each work, the catalogue entries provide many other details and illuminating notes about the paintings, including the artist's own observations and the recollections of models, friends and critics.
