Ruskin Spear (1985) (SIGNED)

Witty, affectionate, ironical and acutely observed, Ruskin Spear’s studies of the social scene describe people and places with a skill so masterly that he is ranked with the greatest of twentieth-century English painters. He carries forward the long tradition of narrative art developed by Hogarth, Rowlandson, Sickert and Lowry, and Mervyn Levy’s monograph explores with great insight his objectives and the importance of his achievements.

Inscribed by Ruskin Spear, William Bowyer and Jack Young (England and Middlesex cricketer).
