dust jacket protected by removable cover, some marks to page edges, some cracks to binding, priced accordingly, see photos Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) is one of the outstanding painters of the twentieth century. Highly controversial and single-minded in the pursuit of his personal vision, he often suffered neglect and hostility; ultimately, he has tended to be seen as an eccentric visionary. However, his contribution to British art and his true stature as an artist are now recognized internationally. Keith Bell's comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Spencer's work was recognized as a major contribution to Spencer studies when it was published in 1992, and it remains the essential reference work. This monograph is wonderfully presented, bearing an appealing aesthetic that matches the distinctive style of the artist whose work it projects.
