An inspiring and intimate look at the work of a generation of British artists across all disciplines.

Initiated by The Baring Foundation, the book brings together well-known names, such as Joan Armatrading, Frank Bowler, Wendy Cope and Ridley Scott, alongside forgotten figures who revolutionized the creative landscape in the UK in past decades, together with artists have come to creative practices later in life.

Working with photographer Ollie Harrop, and drawing from interviews with Fite-Wassilak, The Artist in Time is a casual and honest portrait of creativity at an older age, discussing with each artist how their approach has adapted over the years--whether working on major projects, or simply getting on with their creative lives.

Highlighting the creative practices, working habits and motivations of a unique set of British artists, ranging from painters and poets, illustrators and artists, musicians, dancers, performers and filmmakers.
