Edward Wadsworth: A Painter's Life

Artist: Edward Wadsworth 
Author: Barbara Wadsworth 
Publisher: Michael Russell Ltd 
Date: 1989 
Condition: A first edition hardback with the original unclipped dust wrapper over the green boards, the whole copy in very good condition. Some very slight shelf marking to the dust wrapper, but otherwise a very clean, tight copy.

Written by Barbara Wadsworth, the artist's daughter, this biography is not only pretty exhaustive in covering a very full life, but it also includes a relatively comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Wadsworth's work in oils, watercolour and drawings, book illustrations and woodcuts. Whilst full catalogue raisonne of both the paintings and prints have subsequently been published, this remains a vital source of information on the life and work of this important British painter of the early c20th.
