The British painter Mali Morris's career as an abstract painter stretches over 40 years. Her experiments with colour, layering, shape and form have made her one of the most intriguing abstract artists working in Britain today. She draws on the chromatic intensity of Matisse, C�ezanne, Titian and Vel�azquez, as well as acknowledging influence from such 20th-century artists as Ian Stephenson, Hans Hofmann and Milton Avery. She says her work falls into 'families' - individual paintings that reach out for one another - and that she uses colour as an 'entity' in itself, rather than a description of something outside the work. This book presents the full range of Morris's stunning paintings, alongside an insightful essay that evaluates the influence and importance of her work.
