Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Considered by John Singer Sargent to be the best British draughtsman since the Renaissance, Augustus John was the first of the British Post-Impressionists. Such was his importance that Virginia Woolf declared in 1921 that by 1908 The age of Augustus John was dawning, and Wyndham Lewis would dub the ten years leading up to 1914 the Augustan decade'. Handsome, unconventional and full of brilliant promise and Bohemian spirit, John was the man almost every young British art student wanted to emulate. This book reveals why, telling his extraordinary story from his birth in south Wales in 1878 through to the end of his youth in the closing stages of the First World War. Interweaving his biography are the personalities who surrounded John, and the book looks at their influence on him, and his upon them. They include his fellow students at the Slade School of Art his sister Gwen John and future wife Ida Nettleship, and his friends William Orpen, Ambrose McEvoy, Spencer Gore and Percy Wyndham Lewis all of whom would become prominent artists in their own right. This book is a long overdue, new interpretation of this singular figure, who was both at the heart of the British artistic milieu, and yet set apart from its movements and manifestos.
