Kurt Jackson

This is the first major critical study of the art of Cornish painter Kurt Jackson (b. 1961). Jackson's landscapes have been exhibited widely, and are becoming more popular. Every aspect of Jackson's art is analyzed, including his paintings of West Cornwall, the Scillies, France, Greece, the Mediterranean, and the themed projects: South Crofty mine, the Tinner's Way, the quarries, travellers, Porth, the Scottish paintings, the Long Field, the Glastonbury Festival and others. Jeremy Robinson also considers Jackson's place in the Cornish art scene, and in contemporary art in the UK and elsewhere. Includes a biography, and bibliography. Jeremy Robinson has written many critical studies, including Steven Spielberg, Arthur Rimbaud, and The Sacred Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, plus literary monographs on: Shakespeare; Samuel Beckett; Thomas Hardy; Andr Gide; Robert Graves; and John Cowper Powys.
