Reviews

'Andy Friend deftly carries the reader into a much-peopled narrative, opening up many insights into the art world at the same time that he gets inside the personal life of John Nash and his wife Christine Kühlenthal. Rarely is such extensive scholarship communicated with such ease. This gifted writer brings new depths of understanding to Nash’s achievement as an “artist-plantsman”, a label Nash himself chose' - Frances Spalding

'A substantial and thorough book with much original research that tells the story not just of its subject, but also much of the development of art in the twentieth century' - Artbookreview.net

'Andy Friend vividly gives [Nash] his due, portraying a sympathetic man and substantial artist' - Best Art Books of 2020, Sunday Times

'An excellent book' - The Lady
