4to; original rust-coloured boards, lettered in gilt on spine and with gilt device to upper cover; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; decorative endpapers and flyleaves; pp. 79 + (i), incl. index; generously illustrated with photographs and depictions of the artist's work. Dustwrapper ever so slightly rubbed, with short closed tear to bottom edge of lower panel. Near fine condition, in a very good dustwrapper. "In bringing these paintings to the public eye for the first time in decades, this book re-evaluates the artist's innovative work from this challenging period of European art. The accompanying essay delves into the forces that shaped Coetzee's art - from his breakthrough years in post war London to the formative influences of Spanish art and culture, and his productive association with French, Italian and Japanese contemporary artists. It illustrates lavishly many of the provocative and imaginative canvases produced by Coetzee between 1954 and 1964, and includes photographs that contextualise his life and art in these years."
