Description

George Frederic Watts: A Life and Art. This book celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of G.F. Watts, one of the most charismatic figures in British art history. It provides a lively introduction to his career, placing him back at the centre of the visual culture of the 19th century. Watts was a multifaceted artist who worked across sculpture, portraiture and Symbolist imagery. He was also a philanthropic visionary whose art charted the progress of humanity in the modern world. His portraits of notable figures from 19th-century Britain are among his most famous works, while his sculptures and paintings continue to inspire and fascinate today. Published by Paul Holberton Publishing in 2017, this book offers a fresh perspective on Watts's life and art, shedding new light on his enduring legacy as an artist and cultural icon.
