Description
Stanley Spencer is best-known for two things: his immortalization of Cookham, the Berkshire village where he was born and lived for most of his life; and his celebration of sex both in his painted works and in his unconventional attitude to relationships. This book shows how Spencer's work grew out of places, experiences and social relations aiming to enrich his visionary imagination by illuminating the groundedness in landscapes, homes and human relationships that he felt so strongly.
