Description: This richly illustrated monograph, the first on Claudio Bravo, features introductory essays by two great writers, the artist's close friends Paul Bowles and Mario Vargas Llosa. They give us a personal view of the man as well as the painter and provide a glimpse into Bravo's extraordinary house in Tangier - with its eclectic collection of art objects and furnishings and seemingly endless gardens designed in a diversity of styles.

Concluding the book, an interview with the artist provides important insights into his philosophy and working methods. The book also includes a catalogue raisonne, lists of exhibitions and collections, and bibliography, making it an invaluable resource for scholars as well as a highly readable profile of a remarkable man.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-256).
