This book showcases her experimentation with a range of techniques and genres including colour photography, portraiture, still-lifes, solarisation, and the Vivex colour process, and repositions her as a modern artist of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis highly illustrated publication provides in-depth context to Yevonde's images, considering their aesthetic and mythic references.
