1950 Painting as a Pastime
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, With Dustwrapper
The first US edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated with eighteen colour reproductions of the author's paintings. Collated, complete.
In this guide, Winston Churchill sets out to show the reader how they can paint as a relaxing and satisfying hobby.
This work is based on his articles Hobbies and Painting as a pastime, which were originally published in The Strand Magazine between 1921 and 1922.
As well as serving twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Churchill also submitted paintings for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and was elected as an "Honorary Academician Extraordinary" at The Royal Academy of Arts.
