Book Synopsis
The first monograph on Richard Smith, a key figure in the development of British art. Richard Smith (1931â2016) was one of the most original painters of his generation, and one of the most underrated. As Barbara Rose said of Smithâs major Tate Gallery retrospective in 1975, he was âat once in and out of touch with the currents of the mainstream â au courant and aloof at the same time.â That he latterly slipped under the radar to some extent is partly explained by his detachment from the mainstream as well as by his frequent switching of studios between England and the USA, although this helped charge his creative batteries. He is the only artist of his stature who has not been represented by a monograph, which the dazzling presentation of images in Richard Smith: Artworks now fulfils. It has been produced with the generous collaboration of the Richard Smith Foundation. Richard Smith: Artworks traces Smithâs entire career, from the breakthrough lyrical abstraction of the early Pop-i
