Description
Henry Lamb Out of the Shadows by Harry Moore-Gwyn is a comprehensive exploration of the life and work of this distinctive British painter. Published to coincide with a major retrospective, this book sheds new light on Lamb's remarkable talent and his rightful place in early 20th-century British art. Lamb was a draughtsman of exceptional skill, matching his mentor Augustus John, and a powerful War artist whose portraits are as successful as those by any British painter of the time. This book features many rediscovered masterpieces, including Lamb's famous full-length portrait of Lady Ottoline Morrell at Tate Britain. The author draws on Lamb's own experiences, including his decision to abandon a medical career for art and his service as an army medical officer during World War I. With its richly detailed insights, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in British art and the artists who shaped it.
