Eileen Agar

Eileen Agar (1899-1991) was a highly original and independent imaginative artist, working within the tradition of English romantic painting, she made a unique contribution to the art of her times. The lyrical resonance and inventive breadth of her work is beginning to be properly recognized, and this book is the first to draw upon previously unpublished research. Focusing on the use of collage which was central to her practice, Andrew Lambirth examines key examples from the different periods of her career.
