Synopsis: |
Expressionist painting is truly self-expression. The vivid, unnatural colours and distorted forms spring from the artist's mind, transforming the motif into a magic window into the painter's private self. Lucy Jones has chosen to express above all her feelings and emotions about her own body in its various forms and moods. The result is a series of self-portraits whose intense honesty and unabashed vitality form an unsurpassed body of work. The splendid reproductions of this remarkable series of self-portraits are accompanied by four contributions. The critic Sue Hubbard sets Lucy's work in the context of her life and artistic times. The artist tells her own story, most movingly, in an interview with Judith Collins. Frank Whitford, an eminent critic and art historian, sets Lucy's paintings where they belong, as modern and most worthy additions to a long line of self-portraits. In the best of these, the artists hold up a mirror, not to their faces, but to the soul. A beautifully written short tribute by John Kirby is evidence of how affectionately Lucy the painter and Lucy the person are regarded by her fellow artists.The two Lucys come together in these searching studies that spring from an indomitable commitment to painting - free of self-pity and self-love alike, but lit by a deep and positive self-awareness. |
