Summary
After many years of rumours, R. B. Kitaj's Confessions of an Old Jewish Painter is finally available in its first publication ever. A jewel among artist's autobiographies, it relates his passionate life as a seafarer and book trader, his splendid rise and bitter fall in the British art scene, and his faible for harlots.
