About this title

Synopsis:

Stanley Spencer (1891 -- 1959) is one of the outstanding painters of the twentieth century. Highly controversial and single-minded in the pursuit of his personal vision, he often suffered neglect and hostility, and he has tended to be seen as an eccentric visionary. However, his contribution to British art and his true stature as an artist are now internationally recognized. Keith Bell's comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Spencer's work was recognized as a major contribution to Spencer studies when it was published in 1992, and it remains the essential reference work; but for those who would rather enjoy the many superb illustrations and the illuminating narrative for their own sake (without the detailed catalogue which appears in the original), a second edition is now issued in paperback at a highly competitive price.

From the Publisher:

Stanley Spencer's reputation has grown rapidly in recent years, and his visionary contribution to British art and his true stature as an artist are now internationally recognised. This is an abridged version of the 1992 catalogue raisonne of Spencer's work compiled by the same author, reproducing many of the illustrations and some of the original narrative. The work is presented chronologically and divided between figurative and landscape.
