First edition of this illustrated memoir by a master of portraiture. Quarto, original illustrated boards, illustrated throughout. In fine condition. Spanning the worlds of portraiture, landscape, the nude, abstraction, and still life, Alexander Newleyâs project fuses the fine art traditions of patient observation and draftsmanship with transcendental intuitions of the mystic. âFor me, art is a moral activity,â he says, âa straining after the highest virtue of beauty and enlarged consciousness. As such, all art is essentially religious, even when it shows us the ugliness of a fallen world.â Perhaps no contemporary portraitist has more completely captured the inner life of his subjectsâ"or told us more about the fascinating intersection of the observable and invisible worldsâ"than Alexander Newley. Whether his subject is a city street, a painterâs table, a childâs face, or a matrix of abstract forms, there is a unifying and revelatory logic to his perception that is unique. This volume collects two hundred images and presents them alongside Newleyâs personal reminiscence, placing each work in a fascinating narrative of self-becomingâ"and an often-dogged determination to stay true to his calling. The result is a compelling account of an artistâs journey in his own words, firmly setting before us a body of work that continues to evolve and explore, always affirming a uniquely âhumanâ future.…
