ChristopherWood (November 5, 1935 in London) is an English screenwriter best known for the James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me (1977 with Richard Maibaum) and Moonraker (1979), as well as for the two novelizations based upon these films.
Wood's novelization of The Spy Who Loved Me, renamed James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me to avoid confusion with Ian Fleming's original novel, was the first ever James Bond novelization authorized by Glidrose Publications.
Wood was also responsible for the Confessions series of novels and their film adaptations, written under the pseudonym "Timothy Lea".
Wood's wonderful deftness of touch and sureness of line is particularly evident in "Seated Girl with Doll", which demonstrates superbly his modelling of form in the girl's face and balances this feeling for volume against the pared-down linearity in the rest of the composition.
Although the identity of the sitter is unknown, it can be presumed that Wood knew her well: her openness of gaze and her trusting clarity of expression speak of warmth and friendship between artist and sitter.
ChristopherWood became addicted to opium and he died at the age of 29, falling under a train at Salisbury station.
