Augustus John

Trama

The archetypal rebel artist and bohemian, the painter Augustus John (1878-1961) broke free from a stifling Welsh provincial background to become as famous for his flamboyant and unruly life as for his brilliant portraiture. When the John papers became available to scholars in the 1980s, startling new information was uncovered, leading Michael Holroyd to revise his celebrated life of the artist.
