Synopsis

Through the 1960’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s, Edwin Mullins had a long career as the Sunday Telegraph art critic and cultural TV show presenter for both the BBC and ITV. In that time, he covered all of the largest, most important developments in art, both within the UK and throughout the world. That work brought him into contact with countless artists—essentially, any artist who mattered in the last half of the twentieth century. This slim, accessible volume is packed with Mullins’s accounts of his experiences with those artists, including Henry Moore, Bernard Leach, L. S. Lowry, Graham Sutherland, and many others. The result is a close-up portrait of art history in the making, seen by a perceptive, thoughtful, fiercely opinionated critic.
