Publisher Notes
The painter, writer, and poet Thomas Hennell (1903-1945) recorded country life in Britain during the 1930s and early 1940s. Toward the end of the Second World War he served as an official war artist in northern Europe, and in the Far East where his life ended under mysterious circumstances. This carefully documented account is the only biography of Hennell, a diversely talented individual whose intellectual range, distinctive mastery of watercolor, and beauty of language reveal him to be one of the most significant yet hitherto unrecognized figures of his time. Many of the illustrations have been specially photographed to elucidate a text that includes the artist's account of his schizophrenia as well as a memoir by Basil Gray.
