Euan Uglow (1932–2000) was one of the finest painters of his generation. For a long time appreciated only by fellow artists and a relatively small band of devoted collectors, his work is now reaching a wider audience, and its innovative nature is finally being recognised and properly understood. He belongs with the best of twentieth-century British artists: Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Leon Kossoff. As a radical modern master, he is not out of place with Ben Nicholson and Bridget Riley.

The Uglow Papers is a celebration of Uglow’s art, life, and teaching, recounted by those who knew him as friend, colleague, or mentor. The book brings together anecdotes and opinions relating to the various decades of his life, from his years as a student in the late 1940s and early 1950s to his development and maturity as an artist and to his tragically early death. His life was a full one, devoted primarily to painting and drawing but also to teaching (mainly at the Slade School of Art) and to spending time with an unexpectedly wide circle of friends.

This is the first major monograph on Uglow. Profusely illustrated, it contains much new material about the artist, his teaching, and his friendships. Initiated and edited by Andrew Lambirth, who knew the artist well for the last decade of his life, and with contributions from Frank Auerbach, Sir Paul Smith, and Cherie Blair among others, this book sheds new light on Euan Uglow’s life and work and will be an invaluable source of reference for all those interested in modern art.

尤安·厄格洛（1932–2000）是他那一代最杰出的画家之一。长期以来，他的作品仅得到同行艺术家和一小群忠实收藏家的赏识，如今正被更广泛的观众所熟知，其创新本质也终于得到认可和恰当理解。他与20世纪英国最优秀的艺术家们比肩而立：迈克尔·安德鲁斯、弗兰克·奥尔巴赫、弗朗西斯·培根、卢西恩·弗洛伊德以及莱昂·科索夫。作为一位激进的现代艺术大师，他与本·尼科尔森和布里奇特·赖利相比也毫不逊色。

《厄格洛文稿》是对厄格洛的艺术、生平及教学的赞颂，由那些视他为朋友、同事或导师的人讲述。这本书汇集了与他人生各个十年相关的轶事和见解，从20世纪40年代末到50年代初他的学生时代，到他作为艺术家的成长与成熟，再到他不幸英年早逝。他的一生充实丰富，主要致力于绘画与素描，同时也投身教学（主要在斯莱德美术学院），并与圈子出人意料地广泛的朋友们共度时光。

这是关于厄格洛的首部重要专著。书中插图丰富，包含了许多关于这位艺术家、他的教学以及他的友谊的新材料。该书由安德鲁·兰伯思发起并编辑，他在厄格洛生命的最后十年与这位艺术家结下了深厚的交情，弗兰克·奥尔巴赫、保罗·史密斯爵士、切丽·布莱尔等人也参与了撰稿。这本书为了解尤安·厄格洛的生平与作品提供了新的视角，将成为所有对现代艺术感兴趣的人不可或缺的参考资料。
