Its author, James Russell, is well known for his writing on 20th-century British artists. Russell brings his scholarship, humor 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 watercolor tradition and international contemporary painting. This is at once a glorious art book and an intimate portrait of city life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving spent 20 years living and working at the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, Remfry has a following on both sides of the Atlantic.
