Adrian Heath

This is the first book on British abstract painter Adrian Heath (1920-1992), who was a member of the Constructivist circle and a pioneer of abstraction in Britain in the post-war period.

Jane Rye paints a full portrait of Adrian Heath’s life and career, alongside reproductions of a wide selection of work from his entire oeuvre, and gives a clear account of the theories and development of abstract art in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, and of the vital part Heath played in the avant-garde art world of post-war Britain.
