A Three and Sevenpence Halfpenny Man is the autobiography of Arthur Berry — one of Stoke-on-Trent's most celebrated and collected artists, and a figure increasingly recognised as one of the authentic British painters of the 20th century.
Published twice and now out of print, this book is rare on the secondary market. Barewall only stocks very good condition copies.
A student of the Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art, Berry returned to the Potteries and spent his life capturing the essence of working-class Britain — its people, its places, its humour and its dignity. This autobiography traces the life and inspirations of the man behind the paintings, poems, plays and monologues: a true polymath, and a uniquely Potteries voice.
An essential read for collectors of Arthur Berry's work and anyone with an interest in British 20th-century art, the Potteries, or Burslem's remarkable artistic heritage.
