وصف الكتاب: When it comes to deciding the most tragic British artist of the 20th century, Cyril Mann (1911-80) must be a contender. Mann made a number of genuinely innovative breakthroughs and certainly had the potential to become one of the most important figurative painters of his time. Yet, struggling with mental health problems, Mann had an unerring instinct for turning each moment of promise into bitter disappointment.In 1959, Renske van Slooten fell in love with Mann who was more than twice her age. Renske was convinced she discovered a genius and she promised to dedicate her life to him as muse, model and money earner. Their struggles quickly threatened to overwhelm them.The Girl in a Green Jumper is not only an enthralling story set against the backdrop of 1960s London, but it also charts in detail the struggles an artist goes through, both creatively and financially.Â Renske also gives fascinating insights into the way that Cyril's painting technique evolved over time.
عن المؤلف: Renske Mann was born in the Dutch East Indies but had to flee to the Netherlands with her family in 1950 when the former colony gained independence and became Indonesia. Â At the age of nineteen, she moved to London where she met Cyril Mann, a gifted but still struggling artist twenty-eight years her senior. Convinced of his genius, she offered to become his model and muse as well as giving him the financial support to paint full-time. Â With his encouragement, she filled in her educational gaps and embarked on a successful business career.Mark HudsonÂ is the art critic of theÂ Independent, and the author ofÂ Titian, the Last DaysÂ (Bloomsbury). His books on people and places have won some of Britainâ€™s most prestigious literary awards: the Somerset Maugham Award and the Thomas Cook Award forÂ Our Grandmothersâ€™ Drums, the NCR Award (precursor of the Baillie Gifford Prize) forÂ Coming Back Brockens. His forthcoming workÂ London, While I Wasnâ€™t Looking, is a sprawling, collaged memoir of life in the British capital.
