He didn't begin to paint until he was 40 and from then on it became his passion. One can understand how it provided a relief from the stress and strain of his political life. The 60 paintings reproduced are beautifully presented by his daughter with many an anecdote. Whether one likes his style or not, the book shows the wonderful affection his daughter had for him, in spite of him being a somewhat difficult man!
