Review Quotes
The Burlington Magazine
"Tak[es] the reader on a whistle-stop tour of Hodgkin’s career, from his spell as a fashion illustrator in the early 1930s to his later preoccupation with small still-life subjects, jewel-like in their vibrancy and detail. Throughout, Eeles follows his own advice, that Hodgkin’s output should be judged as a whole, reaching beyond those familiar studies of dahlias, lemons, feathers and masonry to include his landscapes and war-time paintings. . . . Where this book excels is in its reproductions. Here, surely, a new standard has been set, one that puts recent catalogues by our national galleries to shame. There is no distortion, no poor resolution, which is essential for paintings of such deliberate linearity; each image finds itself perfectly situated on the page. In this context, works . . . are given the space to convey their subtlety and meticulous design. Indeed, one feels that every effort has been made to encourage this dialogue, to allow Hodgkin’s charm to speak for itself."
