Stanley Spencer by Stanley Spencer & Adrian Glew
Letters and Writings
This work contains a selection of the artist Stanley Spencer's key letters, notes and theoretical writings. These have been chosen from Spencer's unpublished manuscripts and include sections of his unfinished autobiography. The book offers an insight in to Spencer as writer, thinker and artist.Stanley Spencer is recognised as a British artist of singular vision, but he was also a prolifc and highly individual writer. In moments between painting, Spencer wrote thousands of letters. He filled notebooks, diaries and scraps of paper, recording his daily thoughts and future plans in a distinctly Spencerian manner. This book brings together for the first time an extensive selection of Spencer's key letters, notes and theoretical writings. Adrian Glew has selected from the wealth of Spencer's unpublished manuscripts in the Tate Archive and includes important sections of Spencer's autobiography which remained unfinished at the time of his death. Spencer always believed that his writings were as important as his paintings, and this volume offers a unique insight into Spencer as writer, thinker and artist. |
