Cape Town - A Study In Watercolours

The late Ronald Cohen, architect and artist, spent a lifetime capturing his surroundings on paper. His first love was the urban scene, where he never tired of recording the lines, volumes and details of beautiful buildings, and the play of light on their facades. Assembled here loose leaf, on A3-sized, high-quality art paper, are 25 of Cape Town's iconic scenes, from soaring classical edifices to rows of flat-roofed semis, and incorporating s, mosques, churches and homes, from grand to humble. A booklet is included, in which each work is discussed, giving some history about the site, its architect, influences and inhabitants. For lovers of Cape Town and its building and history, or anyone with an interest in painting, this is a wonderful collection to have, to enjoy, to frame - and it makes an inspired gift.
