Description: Anthony Eyton (b. 1923) is a distinguished figurative painter. His subject matter ranges from his back garden to scenes he has experienced on his many travels across four continents. This book traces his career from the World War II years to his association with the Camberwell School of Arts in England to author Jenny Pery's appraisal of his standing in post-war British art. Drawing on Eyton's personal diaries, Pery provides a fresh contemporary view on both private and material events.
