Description
This work presents precisely that because it has evolved into a form of ‘guide’ book with a difference. Often, when browsing through books about the places you are soon to visit, you are immediately barraged with suggested tourist haunts and must-sees, not to mention the typical bars and restaruants which, in fact, generally favour the tourist en masse. Malta and Gozo, An Artist’s View does exactly the opposite as the author’s main objective here is to share a visual inspiration, one that artist-author experienced as he explored the Maltese islands across different seasons and in all sorts of weather conditions. Cole has managed to capture the soul of a civilisation steeped in paradoxes and visual oxymorons. The result is nothing short of a delight. Be it as a native, as I am, or as a visitor, it is a work that will help pass time in learning and light-hearted glee – Michael Lowell, Chief Executive Officer, Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti.
