Charles Darwent is the author of 'Mondrian in London' and 'Josef Albers: Life and Work'.
As a rare exhibition of his work demonstrates, the French Surrealist’s art took a series of very intense twists and turns
At the age of 65, the artist went to Rome a painter and returned to the United States a sculptor. It wasn’t the first time the city had changed him
The painter was often forthright in his rejection of the old world – but it’s time to reconsider his European influences
The Palais de Danse in St Ives allowed the sculptor’s work to grow in ambition
While Britain was no less affected by the disease than the United States, the response of its gay artists at the start of the crisis was provocatively distinct
We’ve struggled to classify the painter as one of history’s greats for very good reason
The Portuguese-British painter told stories of parental abandonment, misogyny and exile with a power that put her in a class of her own
A completely overlooked painting, left out of the artist’s catalogue raisonné, makes the case for an unexpectedly messier and much more interesting career

The artist may have been unsung for many years before critics and the market caught up, but her work was a wonder right from the start
Still working at the age of 105, the Cuban-born artist has had an unusually long career – and the results repay close attention
After flirting with Fauvism and other French modes in Paris, the painter brought home a dazzling palette – only to bottle it later on
