Wilhelmina Barns-Graham

‘The full catalogue of the glacier works is a helpful element of this book, but perhaps its most admirable quality is the wide range of authors, all bringing different perspectives to bear upon them. It is the combination of those perspectives that affords the reader a rich and nuanced understanding of the paintings and Barns-Graham herself. Short of visiting Grindelwald Glacier in person, the total experience of this book is surely the next best thing.’ – Beth Williamson, The Art Newspaper
