Rowe, Nomi (ed): In Celebration of Cecil Collins: Visionary Artist and Educator , London. Foolscap Paul Holberton [Tate] 2008.

285 x 245 mm, paperback, 320 pages, over 170 illustrations. Paper coversCompiled and edited by Nomi Rowe, who studied with Cecil Collins for five years at the City Literary Institute. Cecil Collins (1908-1989) is arguably one of the greatest English visionary artists since Blake and Palmer. With emblematic figures such as the Fool, the Angel, the Pilgrim and the Sibyl in extraordinary landscapes, Collins portrayed an original and inspiring philosophy of life. He has been recognized as belonging to the Neo-Romantic movement of poetical art which flourished in the post-war period, but his dedication to depicting his mystic understanding made his work highly distinctive. His lyrical art is in some ways closer in spirit to the French Symbolists, especially Odilon Redon, and he has some affinities with Paul Klee and Georges Rouault. New (Book ref. 552)  £35.00
