In his life and work, Victor Pasmore changed direction a great many times. His appetite for new ideas and experiences was inexhaustible, and, as this display has demonstrated, he continued to explore different techniques in paint and print long after he first turned to abstraction. When he looked back on his career Pasmore said that he felt he had witnessed the ‘revolution of Painting … (when) the naturalist painter has been forced to start completely again’. Pasmore played a major part in this new beginning, and his work reflected and frequently anticipated the changes which occurred in art and art practice in the twentieth century. It is now irrefutable that Victor Pasmore has left an extremely rich legacy for British art. His work, in all its diversity, will remain challenging and relevant for future generations. And this book is the catalogue raisonne of his paintings, constructions and graphics made between 1926-1979.
