{"product_id":"9781846149757","title":"My Town : An Artist's Life in London by David Gentleman","description":"David Gentleman has lived in London for almost seventy years, most of it  on the same street. This book is a record of a lifetime spent  observing, drawing and getting to know the city, bringing together work  from across his whole career, from his earliest sketches to watercolours  painted just a few months ago.   Here is London as it was, and as it is  today: the Thames, Hampstead Heath; the streets, canals, markets and  people of his home of Camden Town; and at the heart of it all, his  studio and the tools of his work. Accompanied by reflections on the  process of drawing and personal thoughts on the ever-changing city, this  is a celebration of London, and the joy of noticing, looking and  capturing the world.   'David has spent a lifetime depicting with wit and affection a London he has made his own' Alan Bennett   'He delivers a poetry of exultant concentration ... The surface fusion  of the sensuous and the sharply modern is echoed by Gentleman's imagery'  Guardian 'The artist and illustrator has been responsible for some of the most-seen public artworks in this country' The Times 'Perhaps the last of the great polymath designer-painters' Camden New Journal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307789758837,"sku":"9781846149757","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781846149757.jpg?v=1762805286","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781846149757","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
