Description: Over his long and successful career David Remfry MBE R a RWS has achieved a mastery of watercolour that few have matched.

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.
