Hart-Davis, Duff, in collaboration with Caroline Corbeau-Parsons. Yale University Press, London, 2010 This is the first biography of de László since Owen Rutter's published in 1939, and this new account of both his life and his work draws on much new material from the family archive consisting of over 15,000 documents. It establishes the intrinsic importance of his art and re-positions him alongside his great contemporaries John Singer Sargent, Sir John Lavery and Giovanni Boldini. 100 black-&-white illustrations + 45 colour images 448 pages
