Opinions, observations and insights about artists from every age are delivered with an entertaining directness that makes for an engaging and illuminating experience. Like his paintings, the book offers readily accessible pleasure delivered with brevity and wit that are underpinned by a profound understanding of ideas, techniques and possibilities in the world of art" Artists Magazine
