Summary:

Victoria Crowe is considered to be among the most critical and original figurative painters currently working in Scotland. Over the last 30 years she has established herself as a painter of work that is instantly recognisable. This complete monograph is the first to focus on this highly acclaimed artist, presenting approximately 120 lavish colour plates. The works featured come from National Collections in both the UK and overseas.

The mysterious, ornate and enigmatic images presented here complement a personal journey, told from the artist's own perspective. Crowe's highly individual words are punctuated by the voices of critics and art historians, which help to place her work in context. The full range of her exceptional work is covered, including interiors, portraits, self-portraits, still-lifes and landscapes, and work that refuses to be defined by such precise categorisation.
