Book Description

Stanley Spencer`s extreme combination of the homely and the weird has baffled viewers of his paintings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best art book I've ever seen; definitive, Mar 26 1999

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stanley Spencer: An English Vision (Hardcover)

This book is very well put together. If you like Spencer you will refer to it constantly above all other works about him (except a full length biography). There's a lot of writing about his life, and there are many, many color plates of his paintings that provide real depth of viewing what this person was about. All of this is in a pleasing font and design. The best art book I've ever seen.
