Aggiungi al carrelloPaper. Condizione: Good. First Edition. An Excellent Collection of Fourteen Letters from Anglo Irish Writer James Stern to Artist Anthony Rossiter. All handwritten and includes very good artistic and literary content. Written C1973. From a large collection of the artists letters. Anthony Rossiter RWA MSIAD was a British landscap…e painter who was educated at Eton and studied painting at Chelsea Art School from 1947-51. He was a romantic visionary, a "poet" whose heaven was the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Gnarled hedgerows, tumbling stone walls, broken gates, reflections in water and ploughed fields were all his subject matter. His works also included portraits, most notably that of W.H. Auden. Anthony Rossiter began his correspondence with Huxley and Osmond while writing his autobiography, The Pendulum (Gollancz, 1966). From the ecstasy of the creative high to the agonising despair of depression, The Pendulum was the creative artist's riposte to the cult success of Doors of Perception (Chatto & Windus, 1954). Where Huxley induced heightened perception by carefully controlled experiments with mescaline, Rossiter's swings came naturally and without warning. James Stern 1904 - 1993 was an Anglo-Irish writer of short stories and non-fiction. He was also known for his extensive letter writing and being a friend of the famous. His fiction includes The Heartless Land (1932); Something Wrong (1938); The Man who was Loved (1952); The Stories of James Stern (1969) and some unpublished family memoirs A Silver Spoon. The Hidden Damage (1947), his most frequently re-printed book, was his account of his work in Germany with the U. S. Strategic Bombing Survey in 1945, where he served along with W. H. Auden. All in good condition with light creasing. Letters of various sizes with some envelopes. Ref18838. Signed by Author(s).
