Book Synopsis
I’m anonymous. Irrelevant next to the real presence - the paint on the canvas … The hidden life of an artist is told through the work they leave behind. But every painting holds its secrets. And when your story has already been told in a painting by another's hand, sometimes it’s easier to live with the myth than admit the truth … Featuring Frida Kahlo, Laura Knight, Victorine Meurent and Suzanne Valadon, inspired by the life of Pre-Raphaelite painter Joanna Boyce. "An absorbing, modern retelling of artist Joanna Boyce. One of my favourites of the year so far"; "A book all students of art history should read"; "Definitely left its mark on me … 5 stars"
