A propos de cet article

An Excellent Collection of Eight Letters from Writer George Ronald Lewin and his Wife Sylvia Lewin to Artist Anthony Rossiter and his Wife Anneke Rossiter. Handwritten with good content. Written between 1972 and 1975. From a large collection of the artists letters. Anthony Rossiter RWA MSIAD was a British landscape painter who was educated at Eton and studied painting at Chelsea Art School from 1947-51. He was a romantic visionary, a ?poet? whose heaven was the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Gnarled hedgerows, tumbling stone walls, broken gates, reflections in water and ploughed fields were all his subject matter. His works also included portraits, most notably that of W.H. Auden. Anthony Rossiter began his correspondence with Huxley and Osmond while writing his autobiography, The Pendulum (Gollancz, 1966). From the ecstasy of the creative high to the agonising despair of depression, The Pendulum was the creative artist?s riposte to the cult success of Doors of Perception (Chatto & Windus, 1954). Where Huxley induced heightened perception by carefully controlled experiments with mescaline, Rossiter?s swings came naturally and without warning. George Ronald Lewin 1914 ? 1984, later known as Ronald Lewin, was a British officer, publishing editor, radio producer and military historian. All in good condition with light creasing. Includes two envelopes. Letters of various sizes. Ref18838.
