Hardback | 128 pages | Size 370 x 265m |
Publication 21 September 2023 | ISBN 9781802584363

Widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest figurative artists, this unique volume collects examples of Harry Holland’s drawings throughout his career, from early drawings to anatomical studies, still lifes, self-portraits, studies for later paintings and sketchbook pages, many of which are appearing in print for the first time.

Includes an introductory essay by the artist detailing his ideas on the theory, practice and uses of drawing today, providing a superb introduction to his work and artistic approach.

Introduction:

Harry was painting the nude in a way that was unique and theatrical and many of his early compositions had that otherworldly quality, sometimes even carrying titles drawn from the classics, such as Diane and Actaeon or Ganymede. I also vividly remember the exhibitions I saw at Chapter Arts Centre in the late seventies because I had never seen such a unique take on still life; upturned tables casting shadows on walls, torn pieces of cardboard and string and the meticulous observation of utilitarian objects such as old box cameras and canvas wig blocks making the viewer see them in a completely different way.

I have used the word theatrical, and I am sure that I was drawn to his work not only because of the flawless painting technique but because to my eyes so much of it was theatre and composed to lead the viewer into this very private world.
