Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating exploration of the life and art of Charles Strickland, a painter who defied convention and pursued his artistic vision with relentless passion. The author recounts his own encounters with Strickland, both before his rise to fame and in the later years of his life, weaving together personal anecdotes with an insightful analysis of the artistââ â¢s work. Stricklandââ â¢s journey is presented as a compelling counterpoint to the bourgeois respectability of the early 20th century, where societal expectations often stifled individual expression. The author delves into the complexities of Stricklandââ â¢s character, exposing his flaws and contradictions, his artistic genius and his unyielding pursuit of artistic authenticity. This book examines the choices an artist makes in pursuit of self-expression and the sacrifices they must be willing to make. Ultimately, this is a book about the conflict between societal norms and the powerful, unpredictable force of artistic genius.
