A General Reading List

This is an indiscriminate list of books and articles which I have at some point read or had reference to, which have had some greater or lesser bearing for me on the life, times and labours of Peter Monamy, and which have aided the construction of this website. Nearly everything on the painter himself must be treated with extreme caution. Few artists of any standing can have been subjected to such an insensitive, careless and muddled body of comment, or been so profoundly neglected and misrepresented in academic literature.
