Denton Welch: Writer and Artist - Softcover
Synopsis
The painting and writing of Denton Welch, much admired by Edith Sitwell and William Burroughs, among others, is at once seemingly artless and immensely considered. There is really no one quite like him. Frail and sensitive, Welch died young at the age of thirty-three, leaving behind an intense body of work that had earned him widespread admiration both artistically and as a writer. James Methuen-Campbell provides a detailed analysis of his work and life, enhanced by interviews with those who knew Welch best.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. In 1936 Welch, who was then an art student at Goldsmiths College and had no thoughts of becoming a writer, suffered an appalling accident. He was bicycling from Greenwich down the main Brighton road, on a Whitsun holiday, when a car ran into him, fracturing his spine and leaving him a permanent invalid, till his death in 1948 at the age of 32. Before catastrophe overtook him, he was, after all, not a very impressive character. One can loosely describe him as a narcissist , a very wide label but one that he would have used himself. His life as an art student was lonely and aimless, and though he had charm and a malicious wit, there would come times when any friend of his would be rebuffed, for interfering with his solitude. Welch's literary work, intense and introverted, has been described as Proustian. / With illustrations. // This is a 1st edition paperback in near to fine condition. (268 pages & 17 pages of introduction & 32 pages of illustrations). Seller Inventory # 10643
