| Description: | Select Guide Rating Phoebe Anna Traquair (1852-1936) was a unique figure in British culture. The first significant professional woman artist in Scotland, she was also a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. "The richness of the illustrations in this larger format enables us to better appreciate the intricacy of her illuminated manuscripts, the tonal subtleties of Traquair''s tooled leather book bindings and the processional scale of her muraled interiors." — Journal of the Scottish Society for Art History This is a compelling account of the life and career of Phoebe Anna Traquair, a leading figure in Britain’s Arts and Crafts movement. The new edition features new research about her artistic practice, materials and technique as well as her intellectual life, including her correspondence with John Ruskin. Her total commitment to the place of art in her daily life is revealed alongside new details on her family and social life. Traquair was remarkable for her openness to all types of art, and worked in a range of media including embroidery, enamels, illuminated manuscripts and murals. This new edition features 120 illustrations including new discoveries, as well as some of her most famous and best-loved works. |
