Churchill is today remembered as a great leader, a war hero, a literary heavyweight and a renowned wit. This incarnation of Churchill is the latest in a long-evolving identity, which at various times has sustained his power, enhanced his popularity and enabled him to personify aspects of British national identity.

Indeed Churchill was more aware than most of the performative power of his public life. He lived in an age of the illustrated mass-produced newspaper, with its cartoons and 'Kodak-snappers'. He was well-known for his readiness to appear in uniform for photo opportunities during the Second World War and he not only wrote about the art of political caricature, but collected cartoons of himself, his allies and opponents.

In this heavily-illustrated book, Jonathan Black considers the changing image of Churchill in visual art, from cartoons and paintings to photographs and sculptures. He asks how and why his image developed right up to the present day and examines the extent to which Churchill was complicit in its production.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Jonathan Black is an art historian, and reading him is rather like visiting a major exhibition in the company of its curator. No such collection as this, embracing the work of painters, sculptors, photographers, and cartoonists, has ever been assembled before … Enjoyable though it is to browse through the pictures, the substance of the book lies in the text, which is both scholarly and original.” – Journal of Modern History

Book Description

Explores the public image of Churchill in visual art, from oil paintings to sculpture to political cartoons, including Churchill's complicity in the production of such images and his posthumous representations.

Sir Winston in Profile

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

A nice, but not essential, addition to one's bookshelf devoted to Winston Churchill. Jonathan Black provides the reader with a thorough survey of the many paintings, cartoons, and busts of the great man done by British artists throughout his long life, and into the immediate years after his death. Some times the prose seems stitched together rather than seamless, and the author assumes the reader has a basic understanding of Churchill's life story. (Which, indeed, will often be the case.)

The book is best and most interesting at explaining the background to some of the major works, especially the ill-fated portrait by Graham Sutherland. Background in the sense of inspiration for the particular work, funding, and public reception.

It is not a history of Churchill's own paintings; for this, I think a good source for information is "Sir Winston Churchill: His Life and His Paintings" (2003) by David Coombs with Minnie Churchill.
