Constable
'John Constable presents one of the great paradoxes of art history ...To understand this paradox, and the full extraordinary complexity and originality of this ,... you have only to turn to a new, luminously intelligent, totally authoritative, yet highly readable introduction to Constable by Jonathan Clarkson.' RA Royal Society of Arts magazine 'Clarkson believes that Constable's enduring popularity has led to people becoming immune to his work ... So while this volume contains perfectly reproduced masterpieces like The Hay Wain, it also includes plenty of lesser known sketches, studies and portraits to redress the balance. ...This dedication makes for a rich and cohesive read.'
