This monograph looks at Arthur Rackham and uses diaries, letters, personal belongings and a wealth of information from his family in order to provide a picture of the artist. The author not only includes the more famous watercolour paintings of fairies and goblins, enchanted kingdoms and dark forests, but also includes his portraits and watercolours.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this fascinating book, art historian James Hamilton examines the work and life of the illustrator Arthur Rackham.
