Alexander Finberg introduces the Birmingham-born painter of wind, rain and open country, arguing that Cox’s hampered, thwarted art reveals much about the man. He follows Cox through his years as scene-painter, drawing master and amateur agitator, his treatises on landscape painting, and the late, broad watercolours of Wales and the moors.
