Description

Douglas Jeal's life story is one of art, travel and transformation. In this memoir, he shares his experiences as a sculptor and teacher, from post-war Croydon to his long tenure at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.

Through stories that are both humorous and heart-wrenching, Douglas Jeal recounts his journey through the 'Art School' scene of 1960s London, his travels across Europe, the USA and Mexico, and his conversion of a disused church in the Lincolnshire Fens. Along the way, he shares insights into the creative process and the atmosphere of making art in the second half of the 20th century.

This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the first generation of working-class students to break into the art world, and provides a unique perspective on the art scene of late 20th-century Britain.
