A fascinating account of the lives, childhood memories and creative practice of a wide range of 20th-century British artists as recorded in interviews for the British Library's Artists' Lives project.
'40 or so artists talk about making art the centre of a life: their different childhoods, different experiences of war and of love, of parenting, and of art institutions. With Michael Bird's insightful commentary, Studio Voices is an exhilarating testimony to human creativity. A deeply pleasurable book.' - Alison Light
