"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In this elegantly written and scholarly book, Tromans, a historian of 19th century British Art, avoids all stereotypes and very sensibly keeps his eye on the sociological and historical context. (John Dorfman Art & Antiques)
Tromans's readings of the paintings are subtle and astute, but what really distinguishes his book is the close attention paid to the relationship between the artist and his minders ... Richard Dadd: The Artist and the Asylum is a troubling feast for the eye. (Robert Irwin The Times Literary Supplement)
It is the first comprehensive, illustrated biography since the Tate Gallery's 1974 exhibition catalogue and it looks at the life of an artist who was painting surrealist imagery and alternative worlds, including dream figrues, fairy figures and demons. (Arifa Akbar The Independent)
The Artist and the Asylum is witty, economical, and ecompassing.
Tromans must be congratulated for his no-nonsense criticism and his brisk insights. (Nicholas Shakespeare The Telegraph)
