The achievement of Christopher Wood has often been overshadowed by the legend that grew up around his life after his dramatic suicide at the age of 29. Increasingly, however, critics have come to see his work, particularly the output of the last two years of his life, as having a pivotal role in the development of modernism in Britain. The integrity of Wood's endeavour, the combination of self-confidence and uncertainty, accomplishment and awkwardness gives his paintings a very human quality that continues to be recognised and admired by audiences and painters today.

"In this new exploration of modern art and St Ives, works by St Ives artists are looked at in the context of their contemporaries in Europe, North America and beyond. The work of this period includes the utopian ideal of constructivism and the tradition of craft and the handmade. Paintings, sculpture and ceramics - drawn from public and private collections in the UK and abroad - richly illustrate how artists' engagement with St Ives was a part of the global art scene of the twentieth century." -- back cover.

Bryan Wynter drew upon nature as the principal source for his art. From his windswept, isolated cottage Wynter explored and studied the life of the Cornish moors, and that unique environment lies behind all of his work. From his early neo-romantic landscapes he developed a new style of gestural abstraction that secured his position as one of the leading British artists of the 1950s. In this, the first book on Wynter, the broad range of his output is presented within the context of his life, the issues and phenomena that stimulated him, and the dominant art and ideas of the period.
