Rosa Branson: A Portrait by Lynn Michell
This is the authorised biography of Rosa Branson, MBE, written as in a fictionalised style using Rosa's own words from extensive conversations and interviews.
In a career spanning over sixty years, Rosa has painted over 600 paintings in the style of the Renaissance artists as a tribute to her adored father, Clive Branson. Rosa overcame gender discrimination and scorn at Camberwell and the Slade because she rejected the favoured expressionist styles and embarked instead on a lonely path to learn the technique of the Old Masters.
Rosa's personal life is equally colourful with a wartime childhood with communist parents in Battersea, wretched years as a student, and a first marriage that ends in violence and madness.
Rosa's biography is written in fictionalised scenes which highlight her formative early years. It captures the immediacy and drama of a life of turmoil and transitions, disappointment and despair, joy and security. Through all of this, Rosa painted on.
For the past twenty years, Rosa has painted massive storyboards for charities to highlight their work and to raise funds.
