In G.K. Chesterton's book 'G.F. Watts', the author delves into the life and work of prominent Victorian era artist George Frederic Watts. Chesterton's writing style is both insightful and engaging, providing a detailed analysis of Watts' artistic achievements and the socio-political context in which he created. The book not only explores Watts' most famous works, but also delves into his lesser-known pieces, shedding light on the artist's versatile talent and unique vision. Chesterton's literary style is characterized by a rich use of language and a deep understanding of art history, making 'G.F. Watts' a valuable contribution to the study of Victorian art. Chesterton's thorough research and profound admiration for Watts shines through in every chapter, offering readers a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of this influential artist. I highly recommend 'G.F. Watts' to art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and society during the Victorian era.

Autorenporträt

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was born into a middle-class family in London. He dropped out of art school to work as a journalist. For the rest of his life most of his work appeared first in periodicals, including his own publication, G. K.'s Weekly, The Illustrated London News, The Daily News, and many others. His collected works are expected to run to fifty volumes, with most of the collections containing as many as three separate books, and each averaging about six hundred pages. Since his death in 1936, an inquiry into his case for canonization by the Roman Catholic is now underway. Arthur Livingston is an adjunct professor of English literature at Regent University and co-founder of the oldest continuously meeting chapter of the G. K. Chesterton Society in the United States. He has also written poetry for fifty-five years.
