M070 Wilhelmina Geddes: Life and Work – Hardcover -Signed by Author

Lovely Book by Nicola Gordon Bowe – Wilhelmina Geddes, Life and Work. When she died in 1955, the Belfast-born Wilhelmina Geddes was described as ‘the greatest stained glass artist of our time’ whose monumental directness of treatment (whatever the scale) constituted ‘a revival of the mediaeval genius.’ Yet, a full appreciation of her powerful figurative art was limited to a relative few. Her work can still be viewed in a variety of locations across Ireland, from Dublin’s Hugh Lane Gallery and St. Anne’s Church to buildings in Fermanagh, Belfast, Loughrea, and Larne, as well as internationally in Canada, Belgium, New Zealand, and England. Four Courts Press – 2015 – 483 Pages. ‘An extraordinarily rich, evocative and psychologically penetrating study of a powerful artist and the times she lived through‘. This book is signed by the Author.
