Description:
Summary: This major monograph accompanies an exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery to be held in autumn 2011, the first comprehensive showing of Ford Madox Brown's work since 1964. All the artist's important paintings are illustrated and discussed in an authoritative but accessible style, and the book also contains a chronology of his career and four essays: a general introduction to Brown's art by Julian Treuherz, who also contributes an account of Brown's Manchester period; a character study of the artist by Angela Thirlwell; and an analysis of Brown's humour by Kenneth Bendiner.
