Frances Hodgkins: European Journeys

New Zealand-born Frances Hodgkins (1869?1947) arrived in London in 1901 and, by the 1920s, had become a leading British modernist, exhibiting frequently with avant-garde artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Thisbook explores Hodgkins as a traveller across cultures and landscapes ? teaching and discovering the cubists in Paris, absorbing the landscape and light of Ibiza and Morocco, and exhibiting with the progressive Seven & Five Society in London. Complete with a rich visual chronology of the artist? s encounters abroad, alongside over one hundred of Hodgkins? key paintings and drawings, the book is an illuminating journey that moves us from place to place through the writings of a number of distinguished national and international art historians, curators and critics: Frances Spalding (University of Cambridge, England); Alexa Johnston (Auckland-based writer and curator); Elena Taylor (University of New South Wales, Australia); Antoni Ribas Tur (Ara newspaper, Spain); and Julia Waite, Sarah Hillary, Catherine Hammond and Mary Kisler (Auckland Art Gallery Toi o T? maki, New Zealand).
