John Henson

Recently, we discovered an unknown manuscript of a novel John had written thirty five years ago. SIGNED VINCENT had been typed by him, wrapped in a paper and hidden among his many hundreds of paintings and drawings that were stored after his death in 2015. The story captures both his humour and experience of the art world, taking the reader from London, to the south of France and Greece. It’s the story of an unrecorded ‘hidden’ painting by Van Gogh and a cast of vivid characters that come out of the woodwork, once it becomes clear that someone is on a secret mission to retrieve it.

 

The book has been transcribed word for word into digital format so that any necessary editing may now be easily managed, however, the story reads as effortlessly as he would have spoken it.
