The autobiography of a painter who has managed to keep himself a storm center for more than one reason. His studies, types of work, his friends, enemies, quarrels, his work as an official war artist for England, and the results of those paintings, his two visits to America and what came of that, his comments, criticisms, observations of people, art and life, all make interesting reading. The appeal of the book is not confined to the artistically minded.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
