Sitwelliana
It doesn’t take many steps to connect the three Sitwell siblings – Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell – to the majority of artists, photographers, writers and musicians active in Britain (and further afield) during the first half of the twentieth century. Their patronage was extensive, as was their own output of works.
We have put together a short list of Sitwelliana. Books (and a print) that connect the Sitwells with artists such as William Roberts, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Pavel Tchelitchew, John Farleigh, Rex Whistler, Barnett Freedman, Irene Hawkins, Cecil Beaton and Gino Severini.
