Desperately Young
Artists Who Died in Their Twenties
"It’s a testimony to Desperately Young’s worth that I was often engaged by remarkable talents I knew absolutely nothing about. The biographies never glamourise, instead offering insights on several remarkable individuals while historic events (primarily war) weigh heavily on the pages." - Garth Cartwright, The New European
Desperately Young introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday.
Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential.

Desperately Young introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday.
Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Informative biographies detail their legacies, while their tragic deaths lead us to wonder what heights they might've reached, had their lives not been cut short. Richly illustrated, Desperately Young presents prime examples of each artist's work, demonstrating how our cultural heritage is just a little narrower for their loss.
From Europe to America to Japan and the Indian Subcontinent, the mid14-hundreds to the late 20th century, this book hails the acknowledged greats and introduces those who died before they could leave an indelible mark on history. A compendium of 109 artists who fell prey to sickness, warfare, heartbreak or bad luck, Desperately Young is the only book to provide an in-depth study of artists who died young.

"It’s a testimony to Desperately Young’s worth that I was often engaged by remarkable talents I knew absolutely nothing about. The biographies never glamourise, instead offering insights on several remarkable individuals while historic events (primarily war) weigh heavily on the pages." - Garth Cartwright, The New European
"In examining the many artists who died before the age of 30, authors Angela Swanson Jones and Vern G. Swanson examine 109 stories in their book Desperately Young: Artists Who Died in Their Twenties (ACC Art Books, 2020). The authors insist that their work is not born out of some sort of “morbid fascination” but instead out of the impulse to imbue their subjects and the art they created with “abiding honour, recognition, and consolation." - Caroline Goldstein & Eileen Kinsella, artnet
