Highly Desirable: The Zinkeisen Sisters and Their Legacy

In this book Philip Kelleway examines the artistic output of the sisters Doris and Anna Zinkeisen. Kelleway also looks at the work of the painter Julia Heseltine, daughter of Anna, as well as the children’s book illustrators Janet Johnstone and Anne Graham Johnstone, the twin daughters of Doris.

The important contribution made by this family to the artistic life of Britain has gone largely unnoticed in art historical discourse, which this publication seeks to redress with the use of new and interesting sources and includes 152 illustrations.
