For more than forty years, David Nash has profoundly influenced a generation of artists, led by Andy Goldsworthy, with his groundbreaking sculpture, almost exclusively in wood. Working from a deep and ever-growing knowledge of trees, Nash was a pioneer in the aesthetics of "coming," or growing works, and "going," or works that are made with the intention that over time they will merge again with nature. This lavishly illustrated book features a substantial biographical and critical introduction by the distinguished art historian and critic Norbert Lynton, who knew and championed the sculptor's work from the late 1960s. The artist's own extensive statements provide a unique insight into both his working methods and the thought processes provoked by this extraordinary collaboration with trees.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG: Exlibrary book in excellent condition. Stamp on front free end page. Stamp and sticker on back free end page. Due date card on back pasted end page. Sticker on the mylar jacket at the base of the spine. Black casebound book. There is a color-illustrated dust jacket with the title in white down a black spine. The free and pasted end pages are illustrated. Pages: (5), 6-168. Profusely illustrated with color images. " For over forty years, David Nash has made sculpture almost exclusively in wood. At the core of his work is a profound and ever-growing knowledge of trees, enabling Nash to engage closely and intuitively with the varying characteristics of each species of wood that he uses. The extensive statements by him in this book provide a unique insight into both his working methods and the thought processes provoked by this extraordinary collaboration with trees. Early on, Nash rejected the hitherto unchallenged notion that only unseasoned timber could be used by artists or craftsmen. The direct result of this is that in much of his work, the moment when he has finished carving a piece is only the beginning of the development of the sculpture as it reacts to heat, light, moisture, or drying. Also presented here are numerous examples of sculptures dealing with a favourite theme-the universal forms of the cube, the sphere, and the pyramid-as well as Nash's highly innovative black sculptures, produced by a controlled charring of the forms. This lavishly illustrated book has a substantial introduction, tracing the career of David Nash and evaluating his sculpture, by a distinguished art historian and critic, the late Norbert Lynton, who had followed and admired the sculptor's work since the late 1960s."
