Ken Howard (b. 1932) is one of Britain's best-loved painters. His cityscapes and coastal scenes reveal a deep connection with Venice, London, and Cornwall; his studio interiors are masterly evocations of space and light. In this candid autobiography he reflects on work, travel, love, and loss. Recalling his early days at art school and the achievements and acclaim that followed, and his national service in the Royal Marines and the artistic commissions for the British Army that took him all over the world, Howard evokes the professional and the personal with verve and humor.

Originally associated with pop art, in the past 50 years, Joe Tilson (b. 1928) has achieved international acclaim for the individuality and originality of his paintings, constructions, painted reliefs, prints, and multiples. As an artist who refused the traditional boundaries of printmaking, his multiples often include found objects or newspaper cuttings, fusing a cubist approach with his pop sensibility. His more recent prints mix silkscreen, woodcut, and etching to produce radiant matrixes of rich color, embedded with butterflies, birds, and objects loaded with symbolic meaning. Richly illustrated and produced, this book confirms Tilson's reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting artists of his generation.
