Miles Edmund Cotman (known to his contemporaries as Edmund) was
given the role of sheet anchor to a family of outstanding artists,
at the centre of which was his father, the brilliant Norwich School
painter John Sell Cotman. Edmund's loyalty was to be detrimental to
his own artistic career, and perhaps unfairly, posterity has often
dismissed him as an inferior hack artist. While he did not show the
genius of his father, he did in fact produce a variety of
distinguished and well-executed work. Geoffrey Searle looks at
Edmund Cotman's background, the circumstances of his work, and the
work itself that survives for us today.Illustrated with a
representative sample of Cotman's works (including
oils,watercolours and etchings), this is an important addition to
the literature about the Norwich School.
