Drawing to a Close: The Final Journals of Keith Vaughan, by Gerard Hastings (Pagham Press, 2012). Price £29.95, 200 pp, 97 ills., 246mm x 189mm, hardback. 'Observations of a considerable painter dying of cancer over two years. Revealing and melancholy. Cool and, to me, cruelly nostalgic'. Brian Sewell's 'Art Book of the Year,' Evening Standard, November, 2012. 'Drawing to a Close provided the year's most compelling but harrowing read. Vaughan was a fine painter and, moreover, one who wrote very well. These jornals have never been published in their entirety but now we can register the full extent of V's eloquent 'taedium vitae' as he contemplates and then commits suicide. He was writing his journal until the very moment he lost consciousness and the pen fell from his hand. Hastings's superb editing and shrewd commentary flesh out Vaughan's life and his circle with knowing detail. Vaughan's sober musings on life, love, sex, art, ill-health and death, reveal with intimate unflinching candour the inner- most thoughts of this tormented, complicated, deeply intelligent man.' William Boyd, Times Literary Supplement, November 2012. Visions & Recollections Prunella Clough & Keith Vaughan
