Derwent Lees: Art and Life
ISBN-13: 9781848227118 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 248 str.
Bringing to light the art and life of Derwent Lees (1884-1931), an Australian painter who studied and taught at the Slade School of Art in the decade preceding and including the First World War, this comprehensive monograph includes a complete catalogue of the artist’s known works, in all media. A precocious talent, within a short career Lees exhibited at the Goupil, Chenil and Alpine Club Galleries, and at the 1913 New York Armory Show. Embedded within London's art world, he counted Augustus John, J.D. Innes and Ambrose McEvoy as his close friends. Tragically, his promising career was cut short when he was confined to mental asylums from 1919. This publication will provide the first definitive account of Lees's life and impressive body of work, so correcting persistent misconceptions about him.
