A celebration of the life and work of the artist John Craxton, a rebellious figure in British art historySpanning a rich variety of works from the 1940s to the 2000s, this book celebrates the life and work of the British artist John Craxton (19222009). It charts the development of Craxtons work from the poetic, melancholy images created in wartime Britain to the vibrant paintings and drawings produced in his adopted homeland of Greece. The book revisits the artists early life and looks at the influence of British Romantic art and the landscape of England and Wales on his work, while also exploring themes around LGBTQ+ identity, his relationship to significant modern British and international artists, and the historical context of midcentury Britain and Greece.Featuring short essays and texts from contributors including Sir David Attenborough, Ian Collins, Simon Martin, Miriam O'Connor Perks, David Mellor, Edmund White, Hilary Spurling, and Tacita Deancovering subjects across Craxtons career, including book illustration, landscape, ballet design, ceramics, and tapestrythis lively account showcases the diverse artistic output of this key figure in British art history.Exhibition Schedule:Pallant House Gallery, Chichester(October 28, 2023April 21, 2024)
