Despite starting at the age of forty, painting became a passion that endured for the rest of his life. Published to coincide with the Wallace Collection's exhibition of the same name, \u003ci\u003eWinston Churchill: The Painter\u003c\/i\u003e explores Churchill's activity as an artist from his first attempts during World War I through to the 1960s, shortly before his death. A careful selection of over fifty paintings from museums, institutions and private collections presents a fascinating backdrop to his times, politics, diplomacy and interests. With essays by Allen Packwood, Katherine Carter, Barry Phipps, Paul Rafferty, Andrew Roberts and Alison Smith, the book also includes a small group of works by Churchill's artistic mentors and friends, such as Sir John Lavery (1856-1941) and Sir William Nicholson (1872-1949), which help explore his artistic development. Churchill's paintings are ultimately representations of places he loved to visit and depict, but they are just as much autobiographical and provide an insight into his private life. \u003ci\u003eWinston Churchill: The Painter\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to reconsider Churchill through the lens of his art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59619153445196,"sku":"9781781301371","price":197.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9781781301371-17bb3d2699a0c8b5_front.webp?v=1793266477","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/en-dk\/products\/9781781301371","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
