MODERNISTS & MAVERICKS: Bacon, Freud, Hockney & the London Painters

Explores the development of painting in London from WWII to the 1970s, drawing on an exceptionally deep well of firsthand interviews with artists such as Victor Pasmore, John Craxton, Lucian Freud, and many others. Gayford demonstrates how and why, long after it was officially declared dead, painting lived and thrived in London. Illustrated, in most in color.
