William Gillies: Modernism and Nation in British Art

Description

Andrew McPherson, author of the biography William Gillies: Modernism and Nation in British Art, has been researching the life, times and works of William Gillies for over twenty years, finding both an explanation and a corrective for the recognition Gillies lacks. Through exploring the life and work of William Gillies, this biography shows that his art originates in his personal traumas and awareness of human fragility in a century of world wars, change and uncertainty.
