Still very much with us and well known for his art reviews and his recent TV journey through Italy, this is Sewell's frank and revealing autobiography in which with wit and perception he displays his knowledge of Renaissance Art - especially the drawings - acquired from his early association with Christies's and the Courtauld Institute through to the present day. He also is frank about his background, his experiences during National Service and his sexual orientation. An entertaining and compulsive reading.
