Mali Morris' (born 1945) experiments with color, layering and pictorial
space have made her one of the most intriguing abstract artists working
in Britain today. She draws on the chromatic intensity of Matisse,
Cézanne, Titian and Velázquez, as well as acknowledging influence from
such 20th-century artists as Ian Stephenson, Hans Hofmann and Milton
Avery. She says her work falls into families--individual paintings that
reach out for one another--and that she uses color as an entity in
itself, a way of constructing luminosity. This book is the first to
present the full range of Morris' stunning paintings, alongside a
perceptive essay by Sam Cornish, an illustrated chronology and a preface
by the art historian Mel Gooding.
