ISBN: 085449068X
Paperback Edition, softcover in blue pictorial gatefold wraps. Slight cocking to spine, minor bend to front panel's fore-edge, and light soiling to half-title page, otherwise, sharp tips and clean. 71 pp. Includes black-and-white and full-color images of Tuke's work and photographs from his life. Explores the life and career of LGBT Cornish Realist and Impressionist painter, Henry Scott Tuke, known as "The Painter of Youth", including a great selection of his art of young men in Mediterranean, oceanic settings, often depicted nude and with homoerotic undertones. From the back panel: "Largely forgotten after his death, in an age when the sexuality of his paintings could not be ignored, Tuke is today being rediscovered and enjoyed once again by new generations. Though his paintings appear in many of the world's major collections, this is the first published monograph on the artist. All of his major paintings are reproduced here in colour."
