Venice
Mortimer Menpes and Dorothy Menpes
Leído por Phil Benson
Following his assignment to South Africa as Black and White Magazine's war artist, Mortimer Menpes travelled extensively, becoming the artist of choice for A. & C. Black's colour guide book series. His guide to Venice, co-authored with his daughter, Dorothy Menpes, contained 75 watercolour illustrations. Menpes's text, which serves well as a guide to the art and architecture of present-day Venice, is enlivened by his enthusiasm for everything Venetian, and especially by his satirical portrait of the community of foreign artists who gather at the Panada restaurant. - Summary by Phil Benson (4 hr 52 min)
