Fred Cuming, whose work and painting methods have recently been the subject of a highly successful video in a series published on distinguished Royal Academicians, has now put some of his thoughts and images into a book. He explains why he paints, the struggles and rewards, and how he works. Visual intelligence, observation, colour, subjects and sites, his studios, poetry and music are all discussed as he explains the power of paint, the influences upon him and sources of inspiration. Fred Cuming has always painted, and in describing his childhood, formal training, and first visit to Italy, his enthusiasm and compulsion to get started professionally he reveals his powerful vocation. He also expresses strong views on the art business, art and fashion, art schools, teachers and critics - and the avant garde.
