The first comprehensive volume, spanning four decades of the provocative and beautiful art of Winston Churchill's granddaughter,Edwina Sandys.This mint First Edition copy is signed in ink on the title page by the artist.EDWINA SANDYS was born December 1938 at No. 79 Chester Square, London, the second child of Winston and Clementine Churchill's eldest daughter, Diana, and the politician Duncan Sandys. Following family tradition, she was christened in the crypt of the House of Commons. Her grandfather was the first painter Edwina ever saw at work. "When he was painting, he was totally absorbed," she has recalled. "I think - well, I know for myself - that painting uses a different part of your brain and your whole being. So it was a great outlet for him, a complete contrast to the affairs of state. One thing that is clear from his paintings is his love of life. He went at it with relish and gusto.".

Sinopsis

The artistic appeal of Edwina Sandys lies in her diverse subject matter. From the sacred to the secular, to the most essential questions about politics and society, she has tackled grand ideas with panache, combining the light-hearted and the profound, at once whimsical and thought provoking. Hands are a reoccurring motif in her work, as is a constant return to the diametrical opposites of substance and void. In Adam and Eve, for example, hands are cut out to cover 'shameful' body parts, yet the hands don't really exist; instead they are void spaces on silhouettes. Her clearly recognisable style uses positive and negative images to powerful effect. Seminal works include 'The Marriage Bed' and 'Christa', the first representation of Christ as a woman created in 1975 as a bronze statue. After being on display in numerous churches, Christa was installed at Easter 1984 in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Her work is in the collections of individuals and many public and private institutions including the United Nations, the Brooklyn Museum, Westminster College, and the Roosevelt Library.Solo Shows since 1971 include: Crane Kalman Gallery in London, Origin Gallery in Dublin and the Coe Kerr Gallery in New York. Permanent collections include: Tate Gallery, Brooklyn Museum and the Ronald Reagan Library.
