UNSCRAMBLE THAT WORD!

Have been reading a bit about it, just now ...


OBSCURELY / ARTERIAL POWERED

1. Biography and its subject (not author)
2. Considered an authoritative biography compared wth earlier attempts, quite recently published
3. Subject died in the 1940's, British, influenced many people, and I learned only today that this wasn't actually his birth name (though it's similar, and the one under which he's always been known)
4. Subject was a poet and novelist, though not really well-known as such, compared with the main reason for his fame

5. Subject used to claim to be a reincarnation of a specific defrocked French priest who turned out, on historical investigation, still to have been alive when subject was born

Very well done, I was thinking this might be a pretty "obscurely" one ...

WILLIAM SHOCKLEY / TRANSISTOR

MEN RIVAL PRIMER / DONT HESITATE

1. Painting / artist
2. An early work, and nothing like the style of all the immediately recognisable works for which he later became known

I think I may have the artist, but I don't know what the painting might be.

Ah, I'm sure you'll have the artist, if you think you may have. This painting was from 1905 and I think near where he lived, if that helps ...
