A superb book on the work of artist Terence Cuneo The Author Terence Cuneo's career spans over half-a-century, and in that time he has established himself as a major British artist. Much of his life has been taken up with official' commissions. His early work centred around h…is career, first as an illustrator, then as a war artist, and later as a supreme exponent of the ceremonial, industrial and military scene. No other British artist's work has touched upon such a broad range of human endeavour and its zest, movement and range cannot be denied. Future art historians may finally determine his place in the hierarchy of twentieth century art, but whatever their verdict, there can be little doubt that the work of Terence Cuneo will rank ' as a unique record of his time. This book forms an original testimony both to his private and public life. It encompasses Cuneo's autobiography and forms the first retrospective view of his paintings and drawings of which over 370 are illustrated with some 170 in full colour, under such headings as Ceremonial, Equestrian, Portrait Military & wartime Record, Railways Industrial, wildlife & Travelogue An interesting trademark Cuneo painted in his paintings is a little mouse. Sadly in 1996 Terence Cuneo passed away, but he has left us with a fantastic collection of fine paintings of military history and steam locomotive paintings, which are collected around the world and are very sought after.
