Augustus John - The New Biography (Paperback)

This 1997 revised and updated biography of the celebrated artist,
using the mass of new material which has come to light since
Holroyd's two-volume first edition in the mid 1970s, reveals the
complete story of John and his circle, from one of our great
biographers. John studied at the Slade with his sister Gwen before
both of them went to Paris. He lived and worked at feverish speed
and his drawings were astonishing for their fluid lyrical line,
their vigor and spontaneity. His life became a complex tale of two
cities, London and Paris, of two wives and many families. 'The age
of Augustus John was dawning,' Virginia Woolf wrote of the year
1908, which saw many portraits of writers and artists and small
glowing oil panels of figures in a landscape. His most striking
work was done in the years before the First World War and when he
died in 1961 his death was treated as a landmark signaling the end
of a distant era.
