With all the wit, knowledge and wisdom of one of the UK's foremost
cultural commentators, Stephen Bayley takes the reader on a
satirical roller-coaster ride through the world of art and design
in the late 20th century. 'Brilliantly drawn ..the pages are full
of Wildean paradoxes' The Spectator ______________________________
Someone once said you can find beauty anywhere. But all Eustace
Dunne can see is ugliness. The buildings are grey, the people are
tired and unimaginative, the food is inedible and life is drab,
drab, drab. Growing up in an England ravaged by the Second World
War, Eustace resolves to make things beautiful again. A mercurial
stint in art school gives him a springboard into a world that is
changing so fast you have to hold on tight to keep up. And in that
world, ambition, timing and a modicum of talent can transform you
into anything you want to be. Before long he's an artist, a
designer, a restaurateur, an entrepreneur, a genius. But becoming a
bastion of perfect taste can be a grubby business. Eustace's charm
may have secured his influence on the homes and hearts of a nation,
but there are still people out there who know where the bodies are
buried...
