Anthony Eyton is one of the country’s most distinguished figurative painters．This，the first monograph on the artist， reproduces over 120 works and covers the whole of Eyton’s career and the range of his subject matter．Sketchbooks and drawings show the artist’s working methods while details of works show the fluidity of his technique and the spontaneity of his mark—making whether the subject is a crowded street or beach scene or the planting in his back garden．

Jenny Pery’s text traces Eyton’s development from his training at Camberwell School of Arts to his establishment as one of the leading figurative painters of his generation．Her text also draws on the artist’s personal diaries to provide a flesh contemporary view on events both public and private．In a career that has spanned more than six decades，Eyton’s work continues to have a relevance and humanity that is evident from the pages of this handsomely produced book．
