by Ian Collins (Yale £25, 384 pp)
At last! An artist who had a happy childhood! The Craxtons of 8 Grove End Road, St John’s Wood sound like a delightfully bohemian 1920s bunch: musical parents, five sons, one daughter, piano played, trees climbed, guests visiting for a week and staying for four years, family holidays spent in a converted Army hut on the beach in Sussex.
The only fly in the ointment was that fourth son John the subject of Ian Collins’s evocative biography of the artist whom we most associate with Greece was detested by his elder brother Antony. John was dreamy, delicate, fey; Antony was ramrod-straight and would become a BBC producer and pillar of the Establishment.
