It will surprise many, therefore, to discover that he was a talented caricaturist and comic sketch artist. This charming book reveals a man brimming with imagination, a keen eye, and an impish sense of humour who took delight in drawing to amuse and entertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis witty but affectionate caricatures of friends and family feature familiar faces, such as Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, while his self-caricatures are endearingly self-deprecating. Accompanying these are enchanting sketches he created to illustrate letters and entertain children, and an introduction discussing the life and work of the artist in a wider context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully illustrated with rarely published pieces from the large collection at the British Museum, this book provides an insight into another side of Burne-Jones and illuminates the personality and relationships of one of the most beloved English romantic painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383781638380,"sku":"9780714126753","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6568353482442.jpg?v=1773380206","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/edward-burne-jones-by-john-christian-9780714126753","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
