This illustrated journal uses colour metaphors throughout to represent physiological states and feelings: as such, it is best viewed on devices that can render images in colour.

Uncover a very unconventional love story, in the notebook of one of Britain's greatest painters of modern times.

Robert Lenkiewicz was one of the most radical British painters of modern times - controversial not just for his paintings, but for his relationships with women. Presented here, in beautiful digital format, with fully transcribed notes, and stunning paintings and sketches, THE MARY NOTEBOOK catalogues in minute and dramatic detail the prolonged courtship of his third wife, Mary.

It is the fullest realisation of the Lenkiewicz's thought-provoking and unconventional ideas about the nature of human relationships: especially what Lenkiewicz termed 'the falling in love scenario'.

A deluxe version of this product, for ipad only, is available on itunes.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the original edition

"Entertaining and original... superbly illustrated. This is a special production indeed."

- David Lee, Editor, Art Review

"Lenkiewicz would record their every encounter in minute detail, meticulously noting each emotional shiver and physical tremor with almost clinical detachment and illustrating each page in hallucinatorily vivid watercolours. The Mary Notebook, as it would become known, is a disturbingly compelling document..."

- Mick Brown, Telegraph Magazine
