Paperback. Condition: New. 'To know his work without his talk is "not to know him" .only when they are side by side is the common origin and aim seen and the complete man displayed.' Thus Thomas Rooke, studio assistant to Burne-Jones, who over four years memorised and recorded much of his master's studio and lunch-table talk. The man revealed with startling freshness and immediacy is far from the familiar painter of knightly melancholy and abstract angels. Burne-Jones emerges as a loveable and charming man, far more practical and down-to-earth, far more witty and ironic than might have been expected. He may still regret that he was not born in the Middle Ages and reminisce about the golden years with William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the 1850's and 60's. But he is still hard at work on his last great collaboration with Morris, the Kelmscott Chaucer, while not hesitating to fulminate about Britain's imperial pretensions and the hypocrisy that accompanied them. And he is unfailingly articulate when it comes to discussing the craft of painting in relation to himself, his contemporaries and the giants of the past. The conversations are edited by Mary Lago, Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia, who also wrote extensively on William Rothenstein, Rabindranath Tagore and E. M. Forster.

Widely regarded as 'the father of modern calligraphy' (with Rudolf Koch), Edward Johnston's handbook, reissued here, was first published in 1906 while he was teaching at the Royal College of Art in London. Johnson has since been credited with inventing 'the foundational hand' (originally called 'the slanted pen hand'), a simply crafted round calligraphic handwriting style written with a broad pen, which he explores several times in this volume. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
