Peter Lanyon: Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings and Three-Dimensional Works
Treves, Toby: Peter Lanyon: Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings and Three-Dimensional Works. 2018. 688 pages; 615 colour and 74 black & white illustrations. Hardback. 28.6x28.6cms. Peter Lanyon (1918 - 1964) was a British post-war artist and leading landscape painter of the twentieth century, known for his bold abstract style. Born in St. Ives, his identification with Cornwall is something that continued to hold importance to him, its many landscapes remaining a source of inspiration throughout his artistic career. This authoritative catalogue raisonnà is the first to be published of the artist's oil paintings and sculptural pieces. 613 artworks are fully catalogued within, alongside around 700 illustrations, largely in colour. Also included are three essays. The first, written by the author Tony Treves, is an introduction to Lanyon's artwork. The second, by Professor Sam Smiles, provides the historical contexts against which the artwork may be understood. In the third Lanyon's painting techniques are discussed both by the author and by Mary Bustin (former conservator for paintings at the Tate). These essays help to articulate the significance of this artist's work in relation to the wider genre of landscape painting in Britain, and to the Post-war period in particular.
