His art had two high points: a very early flowering in the years just before the First World War, culminating in his masterpiece "Zacharias and Elizabeth 1913-1914", completed at the age of twenty-two; and the strange, complex period of the mid-1930s, when marital and stylistic crisis propelled Spencer into a flow of extraordinary paintings. Most previous accounts, including Spencer's own, have tended to interpret all the work after 1915 as a quest for some lost wholeness; but it was only through a '"Loss of Eden" that Spencer was able fully to participate in the experience of the inter-war years, as well as to embark on an exploration of sexuality and self-hood unparalleled among his British contemporaries.' [Quote taken from the Tate exhibition details] ***The book was published to accompany an exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London, which showed work drawn from the whole range of Spencer's achievement: paintings and drawings, early religious pictures, works depicting Spencer's military service in Macedonia, and images showing how a prolonged crisis of the 1930s produced an enormous yet fruitful tension between the once harmonised visionary and realist strands in Spencer's imagination. Also included were Spencer's famous paintings of ship-building in Port Glasgow during the Second World War. The exhibition charted the insights of an artist, explored and developed across five decades, in what he himself called 'a wonderful desecration'. ***A nicely produced art book, beautifully illustrated, in fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
