Description

Edwin Mullins has had a long and distinguished career as both an arts journalist and a presenter of TV arts programmes. In Search of Art is a collection of vividly told recollections of both his extraordinary adventures, visiting famous artists, and the discoveries he made when on assignments for indulgent newspaper editors in the days of generous budgets. Blessed with a prodigious memory, and fully armed with the notebooks and diaries he has always kept, he has included in this collection of true stories, some accounts which resemble very closely some of the situations in which William Boot found himself in Evelyn Waugh's Scoop.

Reviews

"In Search of Art is a firework display, exploring lands of lost content, with Edwin Mullins proving art historian, people-watcher, sleuth, wit, and poignant chronicler, all rolled into one."-- "Church Times"
