Austin Osman Spare – Book

Description “Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist” – Book (Revised Edition) by Phil Baker The Biographical study of the notorious London artist. Criminally overlooked during his lifetime (1886 -1956), despite his huge talent, but he has become a much celebrated and highly valued artist amongst seekers of esoteric, outsider artists. For punks unfamiliar with his name, you probably do know his work – who do you think was responsible for the menacing face that Amebix stole for their backdrop and sleeve art? Ah-ha! Forwarded by Alan Moore. Paperback 334 pages 15cm x 21cm. (RRP £23.00)
