"This book, at once biographical and critical, is based on a detailed study of the work and many conversations iwth Jacklin, and provides the definitive mid-career survey of a distinctive and original figure in British and American Art." -- from the flyleaf. In 1985, Bill Jacklin moved to New York. Since that time, the city has been his primary subject. His work in New York explores many different aspects of the city; his paintings often focus on the city's famous landmarks. However, many of his paintings involve large crowds that are constantly in flux or in smaller, more intimate moments. In 1991, Jacklin was elected a Royal Academician. Two years later, he became the Official Artist-in-Residence for the British Council in Hong Kong. Jacklin?s work can be found in many museums and galleries around the world, including the Arts Council of Britain, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Tate gallery in London, which is home to such works as Northern Light and Catena. Today, Jacklin continues to live and paint in New York.
