Victoria Crowe - Victoria Crowe

Over the last thirty years Victoria Crowe has established herself as a painter of work that is instantly recognisable. This book covers her full range - landscape, still lifes, portraits, self-portraits and interiors - but much of her work defies such precise categorisation. An introduction by an art historian and critic, illustrated by Crowe's most recent paintings, sets her work in context. Then follows a chronological path through her life and work, told in her own highly individual words but punctuated by the voices of critics. It concludes close in time to where it started, thus forming a cyclical link, a theme that runs a constant thread throughout the work itself. There will be an exhibition of Victoria Crowe's work at The Scottish Gallery, 16 Dundas Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6HZ from 3rd August to 5th September 2001, and at the Thackeray Gallery, 18 Thackeray Street, Kensington Square, London, W8 from 24th October to 10th November 2001.
