Imitations by MICHAEL BUTT with Barbara Leigh-Hunt and Allan McClelland
Kathleen, Lady Kennet - successful sculptor and widow of Scott of the Antarctic - records in her Journals that, in 1937, Bernard Shaw had a number of sittings for his portrait head. One of their favourite topics of conversation was the question of how an artist 'imitates' life - by what means a legend is brought to life. Michael Butt has written his version of what took place during those sittings, with the help of extracts from Lady Kennet's Journals.
