- This substantial book is the product of twenty years of primary research, the book comes in twenty sections and 180,000 words. It is not just as a biography of one of Britain’s most famous artists but a ‘revisionist text’ that shifts opinion on British art and culture. The book is strongly interdisciplinary and is being merchandised as an intervention in the fields of literature, science, geography and art theory. A review in Apollo Magazine, concluded the work was ‘ambitious and innovative’. Published in two parts, one biographical and the other interpretive, this is two books in terms of scale.
