With authoritative texts and a wide array of illustrations, this handsome monograph charts Barbara Rae’s long and successful career as a redoubtable traveling artist. From her native Scotland, particularly the Lammermuirs, to Spain, Ireland, and the polar regions, Rae’s painterly abstraction brings together her fascinations with landscape and travel. Her sketchbooks feature here, too, revealing her process as she uses them to conceive the larger works she makes in her studio.
