A propos de cet article

Nine Original Handwritten, Typed and Signed Letters from Twice Oscar Winning Playwright Robert Bolt and His first Wife Celia Ann "Jo" Roberts to Artist Anthony Rossiter and His Wife Anneka. Good personal letters discussing Dr Zhivago, his play Bolligrew, an amusing antidote about getting Dr Zhivago tickets, a long handwritten apologetic letter, a Christmas card, a very long letter about moving house, their children and visits to London. Written 1963 -65. 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 75fields 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. Robert Oxton Bolt 1924 ? 1995 was an English playwright and a two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter, known for writing the screenplays for Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, and A Man for All Seasons, the latter two of which won him the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. All in good condition with light creasing. A few with tape burn marks to edges. Ref18838.
