Edwin Mullins has had a long and distinguished career as both an arts journalist and a presenter of television art programs in the United Kingdom. In Search of Art is a collection of vividly told recollections of both his extraordinary adventures, visiting famous artists, and the discoveries he made while on assignments for indulgent newspaper editors in days of yore (and generous travel expenses). Blessed with a prodigious memory, and fully armed with the notebooks and diaries he always kept during his travels, Mullins tells stories that evoke the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of places which, in some cases, have since been destroyed, or can no longer be visited in today's changing world. In Search of Art invites readers on a fascinating tour through Europe and the Middle East.
