First published to accompany Piano Nobile's exhibiton at Piano Nobile
Kings Place, Thomas Newbolt: Drama Paintings - A Modern Baroque, this
fully color illustrated book presents a substantial publication on
contemporary artist Thomas Newbolt. Newbolt's dedication to the figure
in art, and the vitality of his work have gained him international
recognition. An artist of talent and intellectual integrity, he was
Harkness Fellow at the University of Virginia and the University of
Wisconsin, and a Fellow-Commoner at Trinity College, Cambridge, as well
as a respected teacher at Camberwell, Anglia Ruskin and The Royal
Drawing School, London. Recent exhibitions include Ely Cathedral, the
Estorick Collection, and a group show, Vital Signs, at Clifford Chance
in 2015. His work is held in major international public collections.
With essays by Mark Hudson, arts critic at the Telegraph, Professor
Maurice Biriotti, and Martin Gayford, critic at the Spectator, this
catalogue provides fresh insight into the work of this most enigmatic
and powerful of artists. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed
as a work of art in its own right, Thomas Newbolt: Paintings is a
reflection on Newbolt's career thus far, and a testament to the
significance of his work. The publication includes three essays, a
catalogue of works selected by Thomas Newbolt, a chronology of the
artist's career and an index.
