Description

For more than half a century Edwin Mullins has worked with some of the leading artists of our day. As a writer and journalist, film-maker and broadcaster, he has been delighted to find how often these working relationships, mostly thrown together, grew into friendships - some of them lasting for decades, others filling a memorable evening over a bottle of wine. In either case these friendships with artists have been invaluable to an understanding of their work, as well as a privilege that would have been denied had Mullins not been prepared to pick up a phone and ask 'May I come and talk to you?' - because most artists, he came to realise, love to talk about their work.This book is an account of a number of those relationships. Some are like portrait sketches;others thumbnail sketches. But each of them, as Mullins says, 'Belongs to a particular time in my life, and I value them all.'
