When Sutherland was a war artists in London during the bombing he wrote: "I will never forget those extraordinary first encounters: the silence, the absolute dead silence, except every now & again a thin tinkle of falling glass - a noise which reminded me of the music of Debussy"     T Toulouse-Lautrec430       by Jean Bouret     Turner On The Thames   by David Hill     Turner   by Graham Reynolds     Turner & The Sublime     by Andrew Wilton     J.M.W. Turner A Wonderful Range Of Mind by John Gage   V Velazquez     by J.E. Muller     Keith Vaughan Journals 1939-1977     John Murray edited by his friend Alan Ross The Journals are very depressing in parts, but there are funny times too. He was an acutely powerful observer of people, and was very descriptive about them in his journals. He didn't discover Cézanne until he was in his 20s. Graham Sutherland greatly influenced him. Vaughan, together with John Craxton, John Minton & others were to form the ‘Neo-Romantic’ school of British painters. For one so shy the Journal is written with extraordinary candour. There are line drawings scattered throughout the book. His paintings are of abstract landscapes with male nudes. They are painted in vibrant colours, predominately ultramarine blue. Unfortunate then that no examples appear in this collection.   See also Colours Of War : Alan Ross which contains a section on Keith Vaughan.         Keith Vaughan His Life & Work     by Malcolm Yorke This is a fine biography, filling in many of the gaps from the above Journals.   There is also a section about Keith Vaughan in The Reviews That Caused The Rumpus   by Brian Sewell Brian Sewell discusses Vaughan’s life, work & the above books. He states that "Keith Vaughan would have made a sound critic". I would agree with this & furthermore I would have liked to see them together discussing {pulling apart} artists!   For more information about Keith Vaughan see: The Spirit Of Place : 9 Neo-Romantic Artists & Their Times   by Malcolm Yorke     Vermeer's Camera by Philip Steadman   W John Wells The Fragile Cell     by Matthew Rowe     Carel Weight     by Mervyn Lavy           Carel Weight: A Haunted Imagination       by R V Weight     James Abbott McNeill Whistler: A Life       by G H Fleming     Victorian Outsider: A Biography of Whistler     by Roy McMullen     Whistler   by Frances Spalding     Whistler On Art     by James McNeill Whistler     Christopher Wood English Painter     by Richard Ingleby A very moving biography by Richard Ingleby.

This major biography explores his friendships with John Masefield, John Millington Synge, & Samuel Beckett & analyses the artist's life & output of his sometimes controversial work, which included seven novels, nine plays a thousand paintings, illustrations & drawings. Expressionistic in style, the violent colours are applied with a palette knife. Yeats's work may also be compared to that of Auerbach, Kossoff & De Kooning. Oscar Kokoschka influenced Yeats, not only in his art but also in his approach to life. Jack Yeats was born in London, but spent most of his formative years in Ireland. He had a passion for drawing boxing scenes & an interest in the theatre, inspired by the admiration of Walter Sickert who became a lifetime friend. Both enjoyed painting in oils the theatrical & street scenes of London. The author has extensively researched the book & it is generously illustrated with colour & b/w photographs throughout. Jack B.
