This expansive and long-overdue monograph includes new writings on Celia Paul by Hilton Als, Clare Carlisle, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Edmund de Waal and Rowan Williams, as well as a new text by Paul herself. Beginning with the earliest works made by Paul at the age of fifteen, this 500-page volume weaves a chronological sequence of work across fifty years.
Within the rhythms of the book there appear themes and figures that Paul has returned to again and again: her mother, her sisters, the sea, and, crucially, the artist herself. In doing so, these works express the tireless inquisitiveness with which Paul approaches her subjects, and the ways painting offers an understanding of the world around her.
