HOLROYD, MICHAEL Augustus John
Penguin Books, 1976. Trade Paperback. Good. Minor cover edge wear, pages toned, spine creased. "Augustus Edwin John OM, RA, (January 4, 1878 - October 31, 1961) was a Welsh painter, draughtsman, and etcher. For a short time around 1910, he was an important exponent of Post-Impressionism in England. "Augustus was celebrated first for his brilliant figure drawings, and then for a new technique of oil sketching. His work was favourably compared in London with that of Gauguin and Matisse. He then developed a style of portraiture that was imaginative and often extravagant, catching an instantaneous attitude in his subjects." -- Wikipedia.
