A GENIUS FOR FAILURE: THE LIFE OF BENJAMIN ROBERT HAYDON
Written by Paul O'Keeffe.
Stock no. 1713374
1st. 2009. Hardback. Fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.

The tragedy of Haydon lay in the extent to which his failures were unwittingly engineered by his own actions - his refusal to resort to the painting of fashionable portraits, for example, and his self-destructively acrimonious relationship with the RA. Colour plates. 568 pages. ISBN: 9780224062473. SIGNED by author to title page. This copy would make a wonderful gift.
