Damian’s latest novel is a remarkable imagining of the lives and world of Scottish artists who devotion to one-another earned them the sobriquet The Two Roberts - MacBryde and Colquhoun.

The painters found each other on the first day of study at the Glasgow School of Art, and formed a lifelong bond. Their remarkable careers carved a path through the wartime and post-war art world, bringing them a measure of fame and an extraordinary range of friends, from Francis Bacon to Elizabeth Smart.

The Two Roberts is a remarkable achievement, illuminating the lives and times of artists who have been all but forgotten. From their roots in small villages to their adventures in Europe, their life in Soho, their time in Lewes with the Miller Sisters – Damian offers a vivid portrait of artists discovering unexpected worlds, falling in love, negotiating life in a repressive world.

Funny, sharp, charming, incisive - The Two Roberts is a Much Ado favourite, and we’re pleased to have signed copies available.
