Square quarto; paperback; 46pp., with many monochrome and colour illustrations. Light wear; some rubbing to the covers. Very good. "I had never, in a cloistered childhood, ever cooked, but I had with me from London - I don't know why - a copy of Elizabeth David's 'Mediterranean Cooking'. When I finally settled in Deia de Mallorca, I came to realise that all these splendid dishes derived from a peasant necessity - vegetables and fruits that naturally grew there. Spain was still recovering from a horrific civil war; consequently people were very poor, meat was very expensive - there was only one sheep killed a week. The painting in this exhibition 'The Butcher's Cart, Deia de Mallorca' is an enactment of how the meat was displayed in large chunks no matter which part it came from. The resulting scene had a primitive, animalistic vitality about it. I'm reminded that all art is memory of old-age things, dark things." - John Olsen Click here to order $20
