I found the ink drawings evocative and wish that I could attend the exhibit in October. How good it is to see Durrell's Alexandria as a continual source of inspiration for today's artists. I especially liked the depictions of the Corniche. The drawings of the characters seem true, especially Justine, and wonder if Georgiadis has drawings of the other principals, Melissa Artemis in particular, who is Greek.

I found the ink drawings evocative and wish that I could attend the exhibit in October. How good it is to see Durrell's Alexandria as a continual source of inspiration for today's artists. I especially liked the depictions of the Corniche. The drawings of the characters seem true, especially Justine, and wonder if Georgiadis has drawings of the other principals, Melissa Artemis in particular, who is Greek. >>> >>> Best wishes, >>> >>> Bruce >>> >>> >>>> On Sep 25, 2014, at 6:48 AM, Truebner, Christine wrote: >>>> >>>> Hello James, >>>> hello all Readers of this Newsletter, >>>> most of all hello Andreas Georgiadis, >>>> >>>> that does good for my heart to hear about your exhibition "The Alexandria Quartet" >>>> What a wunderful Thing!

Assuming the portfolio is complete, six of the drawings pertain to characters (2, 3, 4, 5, 22, 30) ? but no Balthazar, Melissa, or Clea ? the remainder depict places in Alexandria. The real subject matter is Alexandria itself, the city of the 30s and 40s, as inspired by Durrell's Quartet. On the whole, this is admirable, I think. Darley (2) looks like a young Durrell (minus today's 3-day growth of beard ? perhaps an anachronism, for the author was clean shaven), and Durrell's main residence in the city ? the Ambron Villa, which is not in the Quartet, as I recall ? gets drawn (6). So, Georgiadis salutes the author, in the prime of his youth. Could Georgiadis have done the same with scenes from The Avignon Quintet? This is entirely a hypothetical, but I don't think so. True, Paul Hogarth in The Mediterranean Shore: Travels in Lawrence Durrell Country (1988) has great watercolors of various places in the Quintet. These, however, owe more to Hogarth's abilities than to Durrell's prose, in my opinion. I'm arguing that the Quintet lacks "spirit of place." I'm sure Charles disagrees.

If the early Durrell is lemon/citrus colours, The Quintet is shades of grey and darkness on the edge of town. I'll be over there next year. Going to see the Vampire House, take vin blanc at St. Maries Sur La Mere the TGV up to Paris for Durrell/Miller sites and also later RW Hedges guided tour of Larry's London.

I have been able to identify only one ? Anthony De Cosson's Mareotis (1935) ? which is a highly, highly superficial account. Did Durrell have access to any of the standard, scholarly histories, e.g., Flinders Petrie's History of Egypt (1894, 1896), J. H. Breasted's History of Egypt (1909), John A. Wilson's Burden of Egypt (1951), or any others of a popular kind. I assume these books would have been in his library, now in Paris. Yes, Egyptology does not play a major role in the Quartet, but there are some references that suggest Durrell knew somethings about the subject. According to Ian MacNiven in his biography, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo was closed during the war, so Durrell wouldn't have had access to the largest single collection of ancient Egyptian materials Many thanks for any assistance, Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
