SUMMARY:Lady Lever Art Gallery: Lady Lever Art Gallery: The Last Bohemian: 
 Augustus John
DESCRIPTION:The Last Bohemian: Augustus John\n18 May 2021—30 Aug 2021\n\n
 Exploring the iconic artist and his time in Liverpool\n\nThe Last Bohemian
 : Augustus John is a brand new exhibition\, showcasing around 40 work
 s by one of Britain's most iconic and controversial artists\, includ
 ing 18 loans from across the north west and National Museum Wales.\n\n-
 -\n\nAugustus John (1878-1961) was Britain's leading portrait painter at t
 he turn of the 20th century. Often described as a bohemian\, he developed 
 a passion for Gypsy lore and language and embraced a Travellers’ lifesty
 le. He was particularly famous for his technical drawing skill which he de
 veloped at London’s Slade School of Art. He formed close friendships wit
 h those he loved and admired\, and this exhibition is a testament to those
  relationships.\n\nJohn moved to Liverpool in 1901 to teach at the Liverpo
 ol School of Architecture and Applied Art\, part of today's University of 
 Liverpool. The exhibition explores his time in the city\, which greatly in
 fluenced his life and career and is where he made his first etchings.\n\n
 Lord Leverhulme’s infamous ‘beheaded’ portrait claims the spotlight 
 and the exhibition examines the extraordinary events that provoked Lever t
 o destroy his own portrait. The scandal was leaked to the press\, causing 
 outrage and protest.\n\nAs Britain’s leading celebrity painter\, John’
 s portraits were often uncompromising and searching\, famously capturing t
 he true character and personality of each sitter. His celebrated portraits
  of acclaimed poets William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) and Dylan Thomas (191
 4-1953) feature in the exhibition. Key moments of John’s life are also r
 epresented\, illustrating his artistic achievements and undoubtable contri
 bution to British art.
