In this first major study of the work of the painter John Wonnacott
(b.1940), Charles Saumarez Smith has surveyed a body of work
produced at a tangent to the orthodoxies of modernism. Exploring
the artist's formative experiences at the Slade, which connected
him with artists such as Frank Auerbach and Michael Andrews and the
School of London more broadly, Saumarez Smith roots Wonnacott's
approach in his commitment to the discipline of drawing, his acute
skills in observational analysis and the mechanics of graphic
invention that makes his visual response to the world so memorable.
Alongside commissioned portraits created in the grandest of
architectural spaces, from naval bases to the Painted Hall at
Greenwich and including John Major in 10 Downing Street and the
Royal Family in Buckingham Palace, he has produced a revealing
diary of self-portraits stretching back from his early teens and
landscape paintings of light and sky which are celebrations of his
native Essex coastline. In presenting the full range of Wonnacott's
impressive oeuvre, the scope of the artist's remarkable achievement
is revealed.
