{"product_id":"abigail-mclellan-matthew-sturgis-9781848221178","title":"Abigail McLellan","description":"Abigail McLellan (1969-2009) was known for her pared-down images that were set against richly-worked backgrounds of saturated colour. This limited edition of 100 incorporates a new, original colour etching produced exclusively for this publication from an image created by the artist and authenticated by the artist's widower, Alastair Wallace. The print is packaged with the book in a slipcase. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in Middlesbrough, McLellan's family moved to Scotland when she was thirteen and her education was concluded at the Glasgow School of Art. McLellan's vision, for all its individuality, drew strongly upon the traditions of Scottish - and, particularly, Glaswegian - art. Her striking simplifications of form and her bold sense of design owed much to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his circle. More contemporary influences included Joan Eardley and Craigie Aitchison.Yet McLellan's vision was very much her own and in her quest to create a comparable intensity of colour she evolved a highly personal technique, building up layer upon layer of translucent, quick-drying acrylic paint in short, stippled strokes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Sturgis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848221177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848221178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Matthew Sturgis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587928731903,"sku":"9781848221178","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abigail-mclellan-matthew-sturgis-9781848221178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
