BIOGRAPHY
David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialization. Some of the issues Lawrence explores are sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.
Most know that DH Lawrence was an English poet. But fewer know that he also painted.
Here is a rare sketch by the master writer.
Most of his drawings and works are in an archive in Texas. His paintings, many banned for indecency (now on view in a hotel Taos, NM) caused a scandal in his day.
This little ink and watercolor sketch depicts two men? or a man and a woman? with a man riding a horse a red coat? a knight? heading toward a castle with a flag flying.
