Summary:

Stanley Spencer's patrons have never before been studied collectively. Drawing on archival research and conversations with Spencer's family and descendants of patrons, this exciting new publication looks at how collecting habits were affected by war and economic change, and how - even though Spencer was truly idiosyncratic - his patrons influenced the man and his art. Exhibition: Stanley Spencer Gallery, Cookham, UK (29.03. - 04.11.2018).
