This volume brings together the collected writings of British artist,
writer and professor Jon Thompson. As a teacher of artists, Thompson is
credited as one of the most influential of his generation. He began
writing in the late 1970s, and unlike much of the previous critical
writing on academic art history, Thompson's careful research, depth of
historical knowledge and insight into an artist's work and approach was
quickly recognised as authoritative, fresh and exciting. His texts have
been published in exhibition catalogues for the Hayward Gallery, Ikon
Gallery and Serpentine Gallery; in Phaidon, Thames & Hudson and
Blackwell books; as well as a variety of art magazines and journals.
