Lot Essay

John Berger commented on the watercolours of 1953 in New Statesman & Nation, 12 December 1953, 'His imaginative insight is proved amongst other things, by his exact evocation of temperature...the absorbed ancient warmth of the walls in Morocco' (see Frances Spalding, Dance till the Stars Come Down, London, 1991, p.190).
