Summary
"Alison Watt's monumental canvases reveal a deep fascination with the suggestive power of white fabric, creating sensual works evocative of the human form. As the National Gallery's seventh Associate Artist, Watt has been working in a studio close to masterpieces that she has admired all her life. Through the process of examining the traditional use of fabric in art, Watt has created this spectacular collection of paintings. A new poem by Don Paterson is published here for the first time, complementing the paintings' mysterious and epic qualities."--Jacket.
