This isn't a book that can be 'read' other than as a short biography, but it is my very favourite book. Williams died in 2006, aged 88, and left behind a huge lot of paintings, drawings, ink and wash pictures and more - he decided, early on, to paint two pictures a week, and stuck to that for the rest of his life. The illustrations date from 1948 to 2005, and are astonishing in their diversity and beauty.
