Review: This book made me want to drop everything and go back to my Ala Bianca, currently moored in Gibraltar. Another few weeks and we’ll be sailing east towards Malta. This book kept me sane. It reminded me of the things I did when I was 16/17, travelling, meeting people of different cultures and customs. It reminded me that although most of us get caught up in “doing the right thing” there are some who never give up and continue use to live the dream. To say this is inspirational would be to belittle the reasons why Robin sailed around the world. Even he couldn’t express the real reasons, but it is a compulsion. Something you have to do. Safety, responsible behaviour, should do, shouldn’t do, all becomes irrelevant. Yes there’s a price to pay, but it comes down to what you are willing to pay, because the piper will always need to be paid in the end. This book definitely made me yearn back to my late teens and early 20s in a way that no other book has and brought back some fond memories. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.

Review: An enjoyable read for the most part although the final few chapters content was somewhat disjointed, leading to a rapid ending. Considerable achievement given the lack of technology at that time.

    Description: A fresh look at the art, life and literature of seminal American modernist painter Arthur Dove Arthur Dove: A Reassessment offers a fresh look at the art, life and literature of seminal American modernist painter Arthur Dove (1880-1946). It also introduces Dove's long-forgotten biographer Suzanne Mullett Smith, who worked with Alfred Stieglitz and the artist from 1943 to 1944 assembling a chronicle of Dove's art and life as well as a catalogue raisonné. By examining previously unpublished material, this volume explores the differences between Dove's public and private personas, especially the development of his art while living in Westport, Connecticut, from 1910 to 1920; his successful career as a chicken farmer; his complex relationship with his family; and the impact of his Christian background on some of his best-known works. This lavishly designed volume offers a fresh reexamination of Dove that is sure to become essential reading for scholars and fans alike.
