Bridget Riley: Working Drawings

The paintings of Bridget Riley (1931) are developed carefully over time, the result of methodically working through pictorial variables such as colour, tone, scale, and rhythm. Studies are central to this process, allowing Riley to concentrate on the analysis and synthesis that lie at the heart of her working practice.
This volume richly illustrates the thinking that goes into Riley's work through a selection of over 150 drawings, colour analyses, notations, scale studies and cartoons. The selection spans most of Riley's working life - including his beginnings -, tracing the origins and evolving nature of her remarkable body of work.
