More about the book

The narrative explores Stass Paraskos's transformation from a poor Cypriot farmer to a pivotal figure in the British art scene, known for his teaching and the establishment of the Cyprus College of Art. His lyrical paintings gained international recognition, with notable exhibitions, including at London's Tate Gallery. The book also delves into the infamous Paraskos Trial of 1966, where he was prosecuted for obscenity, attracting support from prominent art figures and politicians, ultimately marking him as the last artist in Britain to face such legal action under the Vagrancy Act.
