A New Zealand artist's travels

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    Fifty years of art journeys in Europe (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "For a period of 50 years well-known artist Keith Wilson travelled all over the world, recording his experiences of places and people in a rich series of paintings and black and white drawings.

    His first adventures were with the army in Egypt and Italy during the Second World War. More comfortable journeys followed - to Asia where he worked for ten years, and to Portugal, Spain, Greece, Britain and Italy once more.

    In this book he recreates those journeys and exploits his creative observational skills in a delightful pastiche of line, colour and words, with two dozen photographs and more than 100 black and white sketches."--back cover.
