As one of the countries' best impressionist painters, James Isherwood's work was typified by strong brushwork and extravagant colours. His subjects ranged from rural and industrial landscapes to nudes and portraiture and he produced his best work from the early 1960s onward. This is his biography written by Dr Brian Iddon.
