Editior: revisiting modern british art

 

As the twenty-first century unfolds, notions of our cultural past and how our history has influenced our present shift almost daily. Within this, accepted artistic trajectories are being questioned and new connections made. 

‘An intelligent and engaging reappraisal of modern British art.’ – Sir Stephen Deuchar, CBE, Director, Art Fund, 2010–2020 Director, Tate Britain, 1998–20

 
 
 
 

Editor: Hughie o’donoghue

 

Hughie O'Donoghue (b. 1953) explores themes of universal human experience, ideas of truth and the relationship between memory and identity. Often standing apart from his contemporaries in the scale and ambition of his paintings, O'Donoghue's work addresses the need to learn the lessons and complexities of recent history through the lens of the often overlooked and anonymous individual.

‘I have long been an admirer of Hughie O’Donoghue’s dark, numinous and intensely atmospheric painting and am so pleased that there is now such a wide-ranging, well-illustrated monograph which helps one to understand and interpret his work’. Charles Saumarez Smith, former Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts
