The Fraser Family

Charles Lane''s new study is the first substantial publication devoted to the artists, and this does much to clarify the complexities of their lives and works. The main text comprises a group biography, which is supported by a family tree and a number of previously unpublished portrait photographs.This book traces their Scottish roots and Bedford childhoods, before charting their artistic careers, and detaling their painting ground. Many images, maps and topographical photographs illustrate those grounds and the watercolours that resulted. The text also introduces the reader to the fact that three of the brothers were illustrators. A series of monographic appendices then records and analyses the work. See more
