1966 Evelyn Novelist Satirist Waugh
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic and witty English novelist and satirist, Evelyn Waugh, in 1966. Born on October 28, 1903, Waugh is renowned for his incisive commentary on the English social scene and his ability to satirize the upper classes with both humor and poignancy. Waugh's literary career began in the 1930s with the publication of his first novel, "Decline and Fall," which was followed by a string of critically acclaimed works including "A Handful of Dust," "Scoop," and "Brideshead Revisited." His novels often explored themes of class, morality, and the human condition, and were marked by their sharp wit and biting satire. Despite his success as a writer, Waugh's personal life was marked by turmoil and tragedy. He was married three times and had several high-profile affairs, including one with the actress Greta Garbo. Waugh's later years were also marked by his conversion to Catholicism, which deeply influenced his writing. This portrait, taken in 1966, captures Waugh in the later years of his life. The photographer has expertly captured the author's intense gaze and the subtle expression of wry amusement on his face. The backdrop of the portrait is simple, allowing the focus to remain on Waugh's striking features and the undeniable intelligence in his eyes. Evelyn Waugh's legacy as a novelist and satirist continues to be celebrated today. His works remain relevant and beloved, offering insight into the complexities of human nature and the intricacies of English society. This portrait serves as a fitting tribute to a man who used his pen to both entertain and provoke, leaving a lasting impact on literature and the world at large.
