Painter, writer, composer, curator, and filmmaker—the major facets of English artist Tom Phillips’s uniquely varied work are finally explored and celebrated here. Known internationally for his portraits and as a pioneer of the artist’s book, these four volumes—visual poetry and painted music, portraiture and representation, ornament and public art, and projects and obsessions—clarify the diversity of Phillips’s artistic career and show it as the consistent expression of a single and singular sensibility.
