Although interest in the painter, poet, and art writer Adrian Stokes (1902–1972) has been growing in recent years, Art and Its Discontents is the first biographical study of this pivotal figure in British modernism. Focused on Stokes's formative years, the book offers important new insights into his intellectual development, his growing commitment to the arts, and his eventual turn to the art criticism that would win him international renown. Even as Richard Read follows Stokes from his London childhood to his travels in Italy and his psychoanalysis with Melanie Klein, he weaves Stokes's experiences and writings into the great social and cultural issues of his era. Stokes's friendship with Ezra Pound is given its due, but Read balances his exploration of Stokes's modernist ideas with detailed discussion of his profound debt to the teachings of John Ruskin and Walter Pater. Seen in this broad perspective, Stokes emerges as a thinker who bridged Victorian and modernist cultures and renewed the British tradition of aesthetic criticism.

This title was first published in 2002. Adrian Stokes (1902-1972) wrote some of the most engaging and provocative art criticism of the twentieth century. He was a prolific author publishing books on the Renaissance, among them The Quattro Cento and Stones of Rimini (recently reissued), on ballet, and on the work of contemporary Modernist artists. Stokes entered psychoanalysis with Melanie Klein in 1929 in an attempt to resolve some of the quandaries of his own complex sexual identity and corrosive self-consciousness. In later life, he gained a significant reputation as a poet and painter. Stokes's work emerged from a rich dialogue between the legacy of Ruskin and Pater, and intense engagement with the Italian Renaissance, the writings and art of of the European Modernists (including friends such as Ezra Pound, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson), and psychoanalytic theory. In this, the first sustained examination of the writings, Richard Read investigates how Adrian Stokes's work transformed English aesthetics when he became the first critical writer in Britain convincingly to relate psychoanalytic theory to art.
