This pioneering painter exhibited from the early 1930s, was influential in the 1940s and well known in the 1960s, but in her later years Giacometti's and Bacon's blockbuster biographies made her famous as a muse. Rawsthorne's work is now in major collections, and this beautifully illustrated book re-writes the pre- and post-war art history of which she was a part: it is traced through the upheavals of the 20th century and her singular relationships with some of its most fascinating figures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA decade of research into the period, Rawsthorne's art and archi","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43036889710681,"sku":"PR913815","price":101.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBFT9E5CLJ3.jpg?v=1770089001","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/out-of-the-cage-the-art-of-isabel-rawsthorne","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
