Howard Hodgkin

00 Howard Hodgkin (b. 1932) is one of the foremost painters of his generation. Painted on wood in thick swaths of color, his works can often appear purely abstract. But in fact they are attempts to recapture the sensation of specific moments from memory and transform them into pictures that get to the heart of being itself. This lavishly illustrated volume is the most thorough survey of Hodgkins career to date, giving new insights into the artists motivations and technique.
