Description:
Published by The Bodley Head, 2009. 1st edition.. Hardback. Fine/Nearly Fine. Fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The tragedy of Haydon lay in the extent to which his failures were unwittingly engineered by his own actions - his refusal to resort to the painting of fashionable portraits, for example, and his self-destructively acrimonious relationship with the RA. Colour plates. 568 pages. SIGNED by author to title page. This copy would make a wonderful gift.
