FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 144 pages; 150 illustrations in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Since 1960 drawing has been the sole form of expression of British Columbia-based artist Ann Kipling. This publication chronicles one calendar year 2009 during which time Kipling produced 141 drawings each magnificently illustrated here. While Kipling s work is centered upon the outdoors landscape is not a word that can be easily used to describe her work. Neither can it be viewed through the lens of the formal nationalist tradition that the landscape genre carries in Canada. Robin Laurence examines Kipling s attentiveness to the environment that recalls Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy. Darrin Martens pursues the philosophical investigation with a call to look beyond representation to a process that embodies the very act of creation. Rosemarie Tovell explores Kipling's practice as a draftsperson situating it within the historical and aesthetic context of an often misunderstood discipline. . 2011. 0980996287 . Gallery hardcover

Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise clamshell box. An exceptional example. Kim unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia.
