{"product_id":"wyndham-payne-design","title":"Wyndham Payne","description":"A new title in ACC Art Books' celebrated \u003ci\u003eDesign\u003c\/i\u003e series, presenting and reviving the work of illustrator Wyndham Payne (1884-1974). \nWyndham Payne's career as an illustrator began in the early 1920s, gathering momentum with a series of book illustrations for renowned Charing Cross publisher Cyril Beaumont. Working in the tradition of Claud Lovat Fraser - and others - Payne nurtured a reputation for freedom of line, illustrating books, calendars, greetings cards and advertisements, often with toys - soldiers, model theatres, trains - as a subject. Aside from creating illustrations for the Beaumont Press, Payne was also commissioned by Oxford University Press and Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton, among others. For The Bodley Head, he designed covers for Agatha Christie titles, whilst his celebrated jacket for \u003ci\u003eThe Wind in the Willows\u003c\/i\u003e was produced for Methuen. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWyndham Payne presents a detailed survey of the artist's work: lino cuts, woodcuts, drawings in pen, watercolours, silhouette painting on glass, and later, when his health became too poor for commercial work, models - including automata - for his children and grandchildren. The book also includes a fulsome biography of the artist, covering his life and work.","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32140531892307,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788840651_682755c8-8b3d-43ec-9208-ac5aaebfd74e.jpg?v=1778563872","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/wyndham-payne-design","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
