Josef Herman's long and wonderfully productive career is celebrated in this book, published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition at Flowers East, London in June 1998.
The Work is the Life describes Herman's life and travels, including an eleven year stay in a mining village in the Swansea Valley, where he perfected his formidable technique as a painter and draughtsman. Writer and collector Robert Heller explores all facets of the artist's life and work, alongside Herman's many artistic influences, contemporary and past.
