This book focuses on her career as a sculptor and medallist - a career that had begun at Nottingham School of Art and the Royal College of Art and had already spanned more than fifty years when she experienced the sudden burst of national fame that came with the royal commission. Gillick's work combines the influence of early Italian Renaissance medals with an appreciation of modernism and shows a readiness to adapt as she responded to changes in the art market. Her experience also adds to the debate on the impact on women of marriages between artists (she was married to sculptor Ernest Gillick from 1905, until his death in 1951) and the choices open to women sculptors of her time. This is the very first study of such an iconic British artist to be published, and is sure to attract the attention of both numismatists and anyone interested in the history of British art alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Attwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912667754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912667758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Philip Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135432573183,"sku":"9781912667758","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9375e8df-104d-47be-9d62-b2fe4889a2d2.jpg?v=1755010133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mary-gillick-philip-attwood-9781912667758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
