Title: Contemporary Maltese artists
Description: 'Contemporary Maltese Artists' (1985) gives detailed information about local contemporary artists who have contributed in different ways to enhance contemporary art in the Maltese Islands. These include painters, sculptors, ceramists, photographers, fashion designers and graphic artists. It should be of interest to the general public, but particularly to artists, art critics, art collectors and researchers in the complex and rich history and development of modern art in Malta in the past 100 years. It gives an indepth view of many and varied spheres of art in Malta; examples of media and techniques are given as much importance as the artists themselves and the influences they received and they created, be they established ones or promising young artists. Students of Maltese modern are will find this book highly beneficial for their academic studies and research. Due  to the impact that Maltese Contemporary Artists are making at home and abroad thanks to their work, exhibitions, commissions and projects there is no doubt that a publication of this sort is a must. The book provides the answers to many questions that might be asked about what has happened in the visual arts in Malta during the recent past of its long, rich and variegated history of art and culture. This I, ADRIAN STIVALA  can vouch for because I am the author and compiler of this book which opened up a new perspective on Maltese Contemporary art.
