He was a wildly original painter and his talent was recognised while he was a student at the Slade. He died in November 1959, a controversial figure whose life, like his paintings, was often misunderstood. This book allows the reader to assess, often from Stanley and Hilda Spencer's intense, highly individual styles of writing, and from the recollections of his friends, how this extraordinary man lived, and also to understand the affection and respect which those who knew him well felt for him. ***In diaries and letters, sometimes over 100 pages long, Stanley Spencer poured out an inexhaustible flow of ideas to his first wife, Hilda - to whom, despite his second marriage, he felt himself always married - and to his sympathetic agent, Dudley Tooth, whose sensitive friendship and financial support kept him alive. Sir John Rothenstein has selected the most expressive and revealing passages about his life, relationships and work form this correspondence and has supplemented this first-hand information with biographical information based on a friendship lasting over 36 years. He traces the chequered course of his first marriage, the courtship of and abandonment by his second wife and his close contact with Dudley Tooth. He concludes with reminiscences of friends and neighbours in Cookham. Thus is built up a biographical portrait of an impassioned painter and draughtsman and a most unusual and paradoxical character.'
