COCKRILL MAURICE - Tapa dura

This, the first book to be published about the artist, brings together all the major groups and series of Cockrill's paintings created since the end of the 1980s, the period of his most mature and accomplished work. It emphasizes the consistency of themes, motifs and vision underlying Cockrill's recent work, as well as its sheer inventiveness and depth of meaning. Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, this book leaves one in no doubt that Cockrill is one of the most original artists working in Britain today.
