In this book Ian Collins takes a look at the career of the artist John McLean as it evolved over the decades of the second half of the twentieth century. McLean s abstract colourist work emerged against the backdrop of the art scene in London during the 1960s and 1970s. He went abroad in the 80s and returned to London to host solo shows. The author explores the impact of his move to the Barbican on his art - this far-from-brutal environment was a significant change in McLean s life and can be seen in his work. Ian Collins has produced a study of John s artistic career by sketching out a chronology of his life. This is an engaging and much-needed study.
