First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Size 285mmX265mm. Margaret Coen is best known as a watercolourist and a flower painter. But the diverse scope of her talent stretched far beyond this. Hers was a passion driven by a love of form - 'from ants to elephants'. Essentially a traditionalist, her later works display a wonderfully abundant freedom of colour and line. The reproductions in this magnificent book represent sixty years of painting, encompassing various genres. Together with the moving description of her life, they provide an inspiring tribute to a woman artist.
