William Turnbull (1922-2012) stands as one of Britain's foremost artists in the second half of the twentieth century. Both a sculptor and a painter, he explored the changing contemporary world and its ancient past, actively engaging with the shifting concerns of British, European and American artists.

Presenting interpretations of Turnbull's work from an impressive roll-call of over sixty art historians, curators, critics and artists, a picture emerges of an innovative artist who determinedly followed his own path, drawing on influences as diverse as ancient cultures and contemporary music. Expansive in its breadth, William Turnbull: International Modern Artist will stand as the authoritative book on this fascinating artist.

Reviews for William Turnbull: International Modern Artist

'Turnbull's time as an RAF fighter pilot in the second world war informed much of his work and the artist is best known for totemic sculptures that reflect a devastated Europe, exemplified in the Barbican's ongoing Postwar Modern exhibition.' - Financial Times
