2009, the book's centenary year, will see the publication of a catalogue that for the first time will provide an extensive biography and illustrate their work in detail. 1909 saw the publication of their most enduring joint venture, "Hungary", containing 75 illustrations of both their paintings. Three significant exhibitions in their lifetimes showed her portraits and his landscapes side by side: two in London and one in Budapest in 1910. Their marriage marked the start of a renowned artistic and personal collaboration, which was to last for more than 40 years. Both had arrived in the celebrated artists' colony of Pont-Aven from rigorous training in various ateliers of Paris. When the Austrian-born painting student Marianne Preindlsberger (1855-1927) first encountered Adrian Stokes (1854-1935) in the summer of 1883 in Brittany, their shared aim was to study plein air realism at first hand. This is the first book-length study of a major husband-and-wife painting team prominent in the Cornish art scene from the late 1800s to the early twentieth century.
