Notes

"Living in Corfu I am even more driven to paint women, because they are the backbone of Greek society. They are splendid, splendid people. The men sit around all day in the cafes drinking coffee and ouzo and it is the women who do all the work. They are the ones who work in the fields, you see them trudging home leading heavily laden donkeys. They work very very hard and I have recorded them."
