Collage of a Life : Memoirs of an Artist, Actor and Humorist Paperback / softback

Part of the Biography series

Paperback / softback

Description

From the late 1950's, Jonathan Adams developed his talent as a surrealist artist at the Chelsea School of Art and, while studying there, sang his own songs in college shows.

Later, during National Service in Penang, he painted, sketched, composed songs and put on weekly radio shows.

At that time he wrote to his father that his head was 'crammed full of all kinds of things: acting, piano playing, singing, painting and writing - I want to do everything.' And it is this eclecticism that pervades his memoirs, which are, as the title suggests, an embriodered, heightened, dramatised collage of memories, impressions and anecdotes, shot through with a surrealism that also found expression in his art.
