Talking Painting: Writings on Art and Artists, 1977–2025: Ian McKeever

Ian McKeever RA (b. 1946) began painting in 1969. His early work grew out of a conceptual interest in landscape, painting and photography, reflecting his journeys to Greenland, Papua New Guinea and Siberia. In the mid-1980s the work became more abstract, revealing his interest in the human presence, the nature of light and their latent architecture. McKeever has published many texts concerning his travels and the nature of painting, and this selection – ranging from Piero della Francesca to Joan Mitchell – brings these together in one volume for the first time.
