DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis lavishly illustrated book treads a unique path. In celebrating the creation, in 2011, of the South Downs National Park, it vividly records an historic legal landmark for one of England¿s best-loved landscapes. The distinctive beauty of that landscape is fixed here in a bold publishing format in which many of the finest Downland artists of our day reveal how and where the Downs inspire their pictures, and the techniques entailed in realising observations, impressions and emotions. The first section, `The Forerunners¿ describes many leading artists working in the area in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and has examples of their work; this is mainly in the keeping of local public art galleries. Then comes the bulk of this book ¿ about contemporary artists and their paintings or other forms of manual depiction of Downland scenery, motivated by this lovely diverse area. The rich tapestry showcases the work of nearly 40 selected artists (in alphabetical order) who work within the National Park, interpreting scenes from countryside, village and town. Christine and Terry Timblick have talked to them in their studios and heard about what inspires their Downland visions and their methods in transferring these ideas into pictures. With over 200 illustrations, many making their debut in book form, A Picture of the South Downs presents fascinatingly varied facets of the incomparable scenery. Step this way into a magical realm¿
