About this title

Synopsis

As an Anglo-Indian, born and brought up as an orphan in Calcutta, Norman Douglas Hutchinson soon discovered that he had a remarkable gift for drawing and painting which could change his life. This book describes the collision of eastern and western influences and values which have had such a powerful effect on the painter's vision and work, and how meetings with Annigoni and the patronage of Countess Mountbatten and the British royal family encouraged hisdeveloping talent and success as a portrait painter.
