About the book >.>.> Yusef Szafki touched the lives of many. Art literature and music filled his own life of almost seventy-two years. He created art he wrote books and he composed music. Every brushstroke every sentence every musical note was approached with a perfectionist ardour and intellectual rigour that inspired many of his own generation and beyond. He was warm funny always engaged. always encouraging us to do better. To those who knew and loved him we were all his apprentices. Published on the occasion of a retrospective exhibition at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh in 2022 the paintings in this book represent only one part of his artistic oeuvre. In time other parts including music graphics photography and sculpture will be revealed to new audiences. The book is dedicated to all those who truly cherished a great human being. (LL)
