Summary note
"With its many voices, views, and opinions, this book offers a comprhensive overview of the work of artist and autodidact, Anthony Earnshaw (1924-2001). As a free-thinking maverick, Earnshaw preferred to plough the marginalised furrows of an art world, to which he maintained a distinct ambivalence. Influenced by Surrealism, jazz, and poetry in postwar Britain, his restless and rebellious temperament would find spiritual reassurance in the principles and philosophy of the anarchist movement. As a nonconformist, at odds with the values of Western capitalism, Earnshaw recognised that to explore his imagination was liberating. He embarked on a lifetime of creative activity which found form in an extraordinary range of work including: drawings, paintings, poetry and writing, comic strips and illustrated novels, boxed assemblages, and constructed letterforms."--Provided by publisher.
