      Randolph Schwabe

      • 168 pages
      • 6 hours of reading

      This is the first book on the life and career of the distinguished British artist and teacher Randolph Schwabe (1885-1948) who was Professor and Principal of the Slade School either side of the Second World War. Schwabe was known as 'a scholarly artist' and meticulous draughtsman who influenced a generation of students, yet to date little has been written about his significant contribution to the practice and spirit of twentieth-century British art. Schwabe exhibited widely and was a close friend of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald, and also of Francis Unwin, Albert Rutherston, Muirhead Bone and others from the artistic and literary worlds. Unprecedented access to family documents together with reminiscences from his former students provide a vivid and rich record.
