A celebration of the life and work of the innovative British artist Euan Uglow

Euan Uglow (1932-2000) was one of the finest painters of his generation. For a long time appreciated only by fellow artists and a relatively small band of devoted collectors, his work is now reaching a wider audience, and its innovative nature is finally being recognised and properly understood. He belongs with the best of twentieth-century British artists: Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Leon Kossoff. As a radical modern master, he is not out of place with Ben Nicholson and Bridget Riley.

The Uglow Papers is a celebration of Uglow's art, life, and teaching, recounted by those who knew him as friend, colleague, or mentor. The book brings together anecdotes and opinions relating to the various decades of his life, from his years as a student in the late 1940s and early 1950s to his development and maturity as an artist and to his tragically early death. His life was a full one, devoted primarily to painting and drawing but also to teaching (mainly at the Slade School of Art) and to spending time with an unexpectedly wide circle of friends.

This is the first major monograph on Uglow. Profusely illustrated, it contains much new material about the artist, his teaching, and his friendships. Initiated and edited by Andrew Lambirth, who knew the artist well for the last decade of his life, and with contributions from Frank Auerbach, Sir Paul Smith, and Cherie Blair among others, this book sheds new light on Euan Uglow's life and work and will be an invaluable source of reference for all those interested in modern art.
