Summary:English artist Geoffrey Humphries (1945- ), is a master of oil painting, portraiture, watercolor and drawing; he paints theatrical fantasies alluding to the depraved allure of Secessionist Vienna and Beckmann's dark take on Weimar Republic cabaret. Matching his bravura sense of colour with a sensual nuance of line, the invention, variety and beauty of his work is eloquent testimony to his love of La Serenissima. A flamboyant figure in Venice for more that fifty years, Humphries' legendary soirees provide a kaleidoscopic background for his paintings. His studio became the epicenter for a cast of remarkable characters from the late 20th century, from rock stars, royalty and writers to eminent Venetians, artists, opera singers, and musicians. This retrospective portfolio celebrates Humphries' fifty years in Venice. Major works, past and present, chronicle his life and oeuvre, and serve as an homage to his adopted city Venice, a fusion of past and present, the city of both yesterday and today.
