{"product_id":"rebecca-salter-into-the-light-of-things-9780300170429","title":"Rebecca Salter: Into the Light of Things","description":"\u003cp\u003eRebecca Salter (b. 1955) is a British abstract artist who lives and works in London. After studying ceramics she spent six years in Kyoto  Japan. There she started to make drawings and woodblock prints that combined Western and Eastern traditions. On her return  Salter began painting on canvas using acrylics. She still views her practice as \"making an object\" rather than a surface. Although Salters work is studio-based  it reflects her experience of drawing outdoors  and she arguably can be categorized as a landscape artist. Accompanying a major survey exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art  this sumptuously illustrated book maps Salters career  situating her work in relation to international abstraction  as well as investigating the impact of Japanese art  architecture  and aesthetics on her practice. Richard Cork considers Salters redesign of the entrance of St Georges Hospital  London  which demonstrates both her engagement with Japanese concepts of space and her belief in the therapeutic value of art.
