The Remembered Present (Signed by Andrzej Jackowski)

Hardback.  First edition.  Signed and dedicated by the artist together with a small ink sketch.  ‘As one of the leading figurative painters of his generation, the work of Andrzej Jackowski is mostly biographical, based on his early childhood memories, recollections of a family history in Poland and the feelings of alienation and enclosure that these experiences roused. Born to Polish parents, the first eleven years of Jackowski’s life were spent in a post-war refugee camp, and The Remembered Present delves into the resulting themes of alienation, family, childhood and nationality that are ever-present in his work.’  Condition: near fine
