部充满插图的传记介绍了Milein Cosman——一位多产且才华横溢的德国出生的艺术家，曾是20世纪下半叶英国艺术界的一员。Milein Cosman是一位非凡的艺术家，在英格兰的古典音乐圈备受推崇，她的灵感主要来自于生活。她创作与她同时代艺术家们的肖像的动力来自于她自己对音乐、文学和视觉艺术的热爱。这本传记描述了Cosman的完整生平，从她在德国的童年开始（在德国，绘画为她提供了她急需的精神上的逃避），到她战前移民英国，再到她作为英国※受尊敬的插画家之一的成功职业生涯。本书还探讨了她与音乐家兼播音员Hans Keller的婚姻以及他们艺术合作的成果。除了她的素描，本书还介绍了Cosman的油画、雕塑和版画。还讨论了Cosman卓越的作画技术，包括一气呵成的非常快速的速写。读者们可以全面了解她的作品，包括朗西斯•培根、T.S艾略特和伊戈尔•斯特拉文斯基等著名人物的素描。很少有艺术家的作品能在范围、数量和质量上与Cosman的作品匹敌，本书阐述了为什么她到今天仍然是一位广受尊重的艺术家。This abundantly illustrated biography showcases the work of Milein Cosman, a prolific and talented German-born artist who was part of the British art scene in the second half of the 20th century. Highly regarded in England's classical music circles, Milein Cosman was a remarkable artist who drew primarily from life. Her portraits of fellow artists were fueled by her own passions for music, literature, and visual arts. This biography traces Cosman's entire life, starting with her childhood in Germany where drawing provided her with a much-needed mental escape, to her immigration to England before the war, and to her successful career as one of the most highly regarded illustrators in Britain. It also explores her marriage to musician and broadcaster Hans Keller and the fruits of their artistic collaboration. In addition to her drawings, this book features Cosman's paintings, sculptures, and prints. Also discussed is Cosman's remarkable drawing technique, which involved extremely rapid sketching completed in one sitting. Readers are treated to the full panoply of her works, including sketches of renowned figures such as Francis Bacon, T.S. Eliot, and Igor Stravinsky. Few artists have created an oeuvre that matches Cosman's range, quantity, and quality and this book shows why she remains a widely respected artist to this day.
