Description: Painting as a Pastime Author: CHURCHILL, [Sir] Winston Spencer (1874-1965) Title: Painting as a Pastime Publication: London: Odhams Press, 1948 Description: [Churchill and Politics] FIRST SEPARATE EDITION. Octavo (23 x 15cm), pp.V; [1]; 32; [32], prints of paintings. Publisher's light green cloth lettered in gilt to spine, pictorial dust-jacket. Frontispiece of Winston Churchill opposite the title page, coloured prints of Churchill's paintings at the end of the book. Contents and edges very clean, small and neat ink note beneath flap, jacket rubbed at joints, light wear to crown. Very good indeed- much better than usually encountered. Although Churchill may be best remembered for his politics, painting and art was also an important part of his life. In this book, Churchill explains why he paints and the importance of art as both a method of relaxation and way to distract himself from the demands of leadership. There are eighteen colour prints of Churchill's paintings at the end of the book highlighting his talent and skill for oil painting. This is the first edition in book-form, having been serialised in The Strand magazine in 1921-2. Woods A125.
