Over his long and successful career David Remfry MBE RA RWS has
achieved a mastery of watercolour that few have matched. Unusually
for the medium, he works on a large scale and often focuses on
people, exploring the dance hall and the nightclub in breathtaking
images that are at once beautiful and edgy. This book is the first
full-length monograph devoted to the artist's watercolours. Its
author, James Russell, is well known for his writing on
20th-century British artists. Russell brings his scholarship,
humour and fascination for people and their lives to his study of
Remfry's career, tracing the evolution of a remarkable talent,
looking in depth at the most significant works and placing Remfry
in the context of both the British watercolour tradition and
international contemporary painting. This is at once a glorious art
book and an intimate portrait of city life. Having spent 20 years
living and working at the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York,
Remfry has a following on both sides of the Atlantic. New Yorkers -
often in party mode - feature in many of his watercolours, and his
recollections of people and places add colour to the text.
Children and parents will find these simple and short stories worth
holding their attention, all the while, instilling basic, wholesome
values which children should incorporate into their daily lives.
Follow Nancy Would, a young girl whose family is quite poor in
dollars but quite wealthy in spirit Watch as she makes difficult
choices, with mixed results. Cheer as she defends a special needs
child and his mother. And, rejoice in the power of simple acts of
kindness
