Book Synopsis
Pocket-sized watercolor sketches of tango aficionados
Born in 1942 in Worthing, David Remfry studied at Hull College of Art. His first solo show in London in 1973 has since been followed by more than 50 international solo exhibitions. He is well known both for his large-scale watercolors of dancers, and for his drawings and watercolors of his neighbors and friends at the Hotel Chelsea in New York, where he lived from 1995 to 2016.
Remfry's skill in capturing dancers in movement in spontaneous watercolor is shown to particularly good effect in these pocket-sized sketches of tango aficionados. Characteristically, he shows us neither their heads nor their feet, instead concentrating entirely on their midriffs in this charming celebration of the most seductive and passionate of dances.
