This book provides a fully illustrated survey of the life of painter Joanna Carrington (1931-2003). Joanna was the daughter of Noel Carrington who created Puffin Books and niece of the famous Bloomsbury artist Dora Carrington. At seventeen years old, she was described by British painter Cedric Morris as “really exceptional and a born painter. I have never had a student who showed so much promise.” Joanna wrote and illustrated hundreds of letters, which together with photographs of the artist and witty caricatures of her friends, provided the author, her husband Christopher Mason, with material for this memoir. The glory of this beautiful book is in the sixty color illustrations of Joanna’s still lifes, interiors and landscapes from different periods throughout her life.
